Hi Stan, Thanks for the formal greeting and welcome. It's frustrating to be so far removed in geographical location that I can't visit the Sumner area to do further research. According to tax/land records, the only Grisham/Grissom's owning property on the West Fork of Drakes Creek in the late 1790's and early 1800's were Benjamin, my great X 4, and a William. Haven't determined who that William is and it's driving me crazy. Could be an older brother or Ben's father. My only hope, I think, is that some day, someone will be searching this same tree with Ben's siblings or parents and we'll finally make the connection. This Grisham bunch has been very elusive. To date, I have found only a few looking into this line. I love this site, however. Most of my ancestors are from TN and KY, so I'll be adding more postings for those folks in the near future. Sure do appreciate the help that's been offered. Jenny
