Hi - I know the headache you are talking about. After 20 years of researching a group of families which followed the migration you mention, my observations are (loosely, very loosely -- more "generalizations" than observations) *Related families settled south of the James, Lower Norfolk. When a combination of refusal to obey cousin Wm Berkeley's demand to observe church of England reached epidemic proportions, cousin Lord Baltimore (wife Anne Arundel is sister of the Howard family and cousins of the others) invited them to Maryland. *Majority of many families moved to what they founded as New Providence (Annapolis) 1648-49. But they kept Va ties with their brothers/cousins. *Every time a patriarch died in a family or the Indians got unruly when being chased out or big crops of tobacco failed or new lands opened up due to treaties with Indians, family groups moved again. Around time of French and Indian Wars and big Maryland crop failures, migration to the wild Carolinas (1750s) picked up to point where one can find references to the "steady" stream of wagons moving. They kept ties with their families back home, however. *Every time a restless Maryland family moved, the younger sons of Va cousins (and vice versa) joined them. *During time of Revolutionary War, the fall of big towns like Charleston, Augusta and Savannah, huge wagon trains set out to take women and children to safety. The huge Maryland/Va/NC/SC/GA extended families in the Gen. Elijah Cla(?rke group actually moved their women to saftely to the "Wataugua" Bttlement on Va/NC line (today around Bristol Va/Tenn???? I just learned of it-) That's why one finds a family with 3 children born in Ga/SC/Tenn in a three year period. *Many families, involved heavily in trade, apparently had different family members or partnerships at different points on river systems. For years I wondered why a family would apparently be in N.C. on the Yadkin and South Carolina on the Pee Dee at the same time, till I figured out it was the same river and was apparently the "interstate" of the Carolinas. I'll stop now. This was an attempt to say I love the info y'all are coming up with. Keep it up. You cut short a lot of the leg work I would have otherwise to do for my books!

George Jones is supposed to send check. He is the attorney for re-opening Reed's Chapel School. I called him yesterday, but he has not returned my call. You can send an invoice to him if you like. His address is P. O. Box C, Selma, AL 36702-0315 Phone: 334-874-6617 > 2. Could you send me the check numbers for people who paid by check?

You need to send an invoice to the MOWA Museum-Library to the attention of Reva Lee Reed. I called her just now to double-check on the exact number we left with her. She will check at the museum and call me tomorrow. I left one box (54) , plus I had put 10 or 12 in the museum on that day and then when I left to go to Mobile to Books a Million, I left 6 with Frye Gaillard. He took them to museum and said he did not sell any. I will get back to you on this tomorrow when Reva calls me back. She says they are still selling like hotcakes! I have 5 books left. I had put one in my briefcase which I found today when I went to Samford. I looked at Cahaba & Greensboro newspapers today to see if any mention of OSS, but found nothing significant.
