Mary Nell and Charles, Thanks for the DEDMON (Deadman) replies. My grandparents were Edna FOUTCH and Ira B. COWAN. Edna FOUTCH was the daughter of Thomas Jefferson FOUTCH and Catherine CORLEY. Catherine 1st married Buck JACKSON and I find her named in the DeKalb Co. Adminstrator's Settlements pg. 33-36 25 Feb 1888, Jackson MALONE, adminstrator of William CHRISTIAN (her grandfather). Her mother was Sarah CHRISTIAN CORLEY. Catherine CORLEY's aunt was Harriett CHRISTIAN MALONE, wife of Jackson MALONE. Harriett and Jackson were the parents of Dr. Sydney Staton MALONE who was later murdered by Catherine's brother-in-law for rape or attempted rape of Lon FOUTCH's sister. Most of you have probably read the Foutch-Malone Feud at www.tngenweb.org/dekalb . Thomas Jefferson FOUTCH was the son of Martin B. FOUTCH and Mary Jane DEDMON. Another son was James Monroe FOUTCH b. 1854 in DeKalb Co. TN. He m. Mary UNKNOWN and their children were: Mark FOUTCH m. Bird UNKNOWN and Sally FOUTCH m. Unknown DEDMON. I've done much more research on my COWAN's than the FOUTCH or DEDMON side, so I'm not sure about the given names you mentioned. I'm eager to see the school photo posted. I know I have FOUTCH's from the Walker's Creek area. Brenda
