Greetings cousins, At last, at last, I am so happy to say, I've broken a brick wall!!! Well, lets say I was lucky enough to find a document that broke it for me. While cleaning out our house we just sold, I came across my husbands father's old stamp collection. I boxed it (smart gal that I was) and decided to keep it, go through it later (who know some valuable stamps may be in there)--- well, something more valuable than stamps WAS there..... an old letter written by my husband's grandmother to my husband's uncle (then probably given to my husbands father for the stamp) which outlines one branch of my dear hubby's family!!!! so, dear cousins, sharp as I am, here I am, subbed to all my new surname lists. (Please pardon all the CCs, I promise not to do it again. Chances are though, if you are on two or more of the above surname list, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU! heheheheh. Here is a summary of what I have gleaned from the beautiful letter: Daniel C Stone lived and died near Doe Hill, Va +1.
