Thanks to all who wrote, it seems that since uploading my Family Tree to rootsweb that I cannot send anything to the Mail list that is included in my main tree. I have tried every way that I can think of and nothing is sent to the list. I can start and send a complete new file, that is what I did with the William Smothers file. I totally typed it and did not have any trouble posting it to the mail list. I have to wonder why I cannot post anything from my main file? If it were returned than I would have any idea as to what is the matter. I used the same address in my address book to send 2 files to the mail list one from my main tree and one of William Smothers, as you all can see only the William Smothers file was sent on to the rest of you. Any explanations would be appreciated. Concerning William Smothers, I find that there is one part that is a mystery to me; that being the part of the Hatred of William and the Indians, if we read the History of Warrick, Spencer and Perry counties, Indiana, it is Judge Daniel Grass whose parents were murdered and his sisters captured and killed by the Indians in Kentucky. Then he went to live with a William R. Hynes. I was thinking that William Smothers parents were killed by the Indians? In the History of Daviess County, Kentucky. The biography of WILLIAM F. NEWSOME, says that "He came from Fredricktown, MD., to Owensboro, or Yellowbanks, in 1804, and stopped at the only house there for a day or two, where he met with the red men of the forest. It was the house of William Smithers. Noah
