Hi Kathy, I too am researching Horn, Lester, and Mullins in Buchanan County. If you're searching the Horn name, I bet you have the Keen surname too. Do you have any connection Henry Horn or Elisha Lester? What Mullins family are you researching? Let's get together and compare lines.

But loved everyone of them. I am only 46 years old, but do remember my Grandmother feather bed, Shuck Beans, (or Leather Britches) I even help to string the Green Beans on the heavy twin and got my fingers stuck many time. I had forgotten about taking the broom to smooth at the feather bed. It came back to me as soon as I read the story of making the bed. Now we called the bacon that you put in the Pinto Beans, Fat Back. To those of you who do not know what that is, It is Salt cured pork. Thanks for all the stories, it makes me Homesick. I live in the Midwest now. I am Researching on Davis, Vance, Horn, 2-Lester sides, Webbs, Baker's, Mullins, Stewarts, Rife's, Peaks, These Names reach from Wise Co., VA, to Buchanan Co., VA, Letcher Co., Ky and then into Southern WV. > Kathy
