Hi Dot, The only connection I have found thus far was a Stella May Lott b 23 July 1894 and died 6 Oct 1903 who is buried in the Fort Graham Cemetery in Whitney, Hill County, Texas. IT says she was the Daughter of TW and DJ, so I would think she would be the daughter of yourDolly Marsh and Timothy W Lott. I have received about 15 pages from another Marsh researcher, but have not had time to go through it. We have company right now so between cooking and visiting and playing with the 10 year old granddaughter and hearing about college graduation from the 22 year-old one, it's been a bit busy. Genealogy gets left to the late night. I'll be back to you when I hear more. Nettye gengar wrote: > I don't know who they traveled with or when or from which county, but I have > in my data W. G.
