I'm back on my feet. Must be that good ol Tennessee blood in me. Carolyn, I think you Just solved my problem. I've not opened your other emails but this one made me feel better. I am getting the Benj. Franklin Prosise ready for the book writer & I see a Jasper & I thought that can't be right so now I know there are 2 I think I have it at least in my head. I'm wondering if there is an obituary for a Jasper Prosise in 1936. He shot himself so there might be a write up. He was married to a Dora Hill but I think I found where he had another marriage. One thing I've learned by all of this. Never be in a hurry & make notes to where you understand them, when you come back to them later, you understand who & what it's about. I'm finding note's clear back to the 1970 's and they are all greek to me. Thank's a bumch, Phyllis

I'm afraid I'm going to confuse things, but sometimes the data is confusing. Both the 1920 and 1930 census show Jasper D. (Jap) Prosise married to Dora. The Anderson County marriage book (this is from a transcription) shows that Dora Hill married Joseph Prosise on 7 Jun 1911. I'm inclined to believe that there is some kind of error on the marriage book, and that Joseph who married Dora was really Jap. Indeed, Jap Prosise had a brother Joseph Prosise who married Ellen Jones on 2 Sep 1906, and it's in the marriage book correctly. Jerry Bryan
