Dear Doris: I was not offended by your posting. I love history and am a first grade teacher. A teacher loves to share information and impart it to others. That is why we are teachers. It is certainly not for the money. In fact, most teachers do not teach for the paycheck but for the love of seeing learning taking place. I am stuck with John McCoy in Scott Co. VA in l870. All I know is that he was born in NC. He married Sarah Rose who was born in Scott Co. VA. He had a son on Dec. 6, l870 in Scott Co. VA. I am not sure your postings will help me but I look at all the postings because some day I might hit upon something I can use. I apprecaite your dedication and time spent. Keep up the good work! Don't let the squeaking wheels of inconsiderate boobs get to you! You've been a teacher and you know we are not appreciated. So you just keep on being your generous self and know that there are a lot more of us quiet, smooth running learners appreciating your time and effort! God Bless!
