Hi BoB!, and Everyone else, Too! Thanks, BoB, for reminding me about the Benjamin Dwight material re John Strong of Cumberland Co. KY... I have included it in the latest revision to Chapter 13, The Lineages Directory, which I just posted this morning... Does anyone out there know any of the history of the Disciples of Christ... specifically, why were they called "Campbellites"?.... Were they a Presbyterian "sect" which later became independant altogether??? By the Way, several folks have given me inputs for revisions to The Lineage Directory... I have tried to include them all, but am aware that I have overlooked/misplaced a few of my notes. I would appreciate your assistance in pointing out anything I have overlooked! {:-)! Thanks, David B.
