Good Morning Gail, Whew! there sure has been a lot of activity on this message list...just wondering myself how I am going to keep all this info straight. I would love to have a copy of "Sharon's email with helpful transcription of the Owens tombstones in Greene County Missouri" They might be part of my Owens line from Missouri.

(It was in Edward Mayes file!) . I will try to get tit scanned this evening. Surely there is SOMETHING in this file I can get rid of, but what?? Sharon's email with helpful transcription of the Owens tombstone's in Greene County Missouri??? Grace's helpful information from Priscilla Kidwell's work? Julia Caroline's entry in Graniger County vitals..Gail you COULD throw this away. You NOW have the book! You could also throw any Larry's post on herirs of Edward deceased since you now have a copy of said document! It would be easier to find the real stuff if I did clean out this file! I looked through the file three times before I found the document!!
