Are you the same lady who contacted the Funeral Home in Lewisburg and was going to send an e-mail to me? I think you did and I threw it out before I realized it!!! SORRY. Please resend me the info you had originally and I'll follow up. I had located some info on the Ostella store but set it aside. I'll relocate and we'll begin again. I'm glad Cary forwarded your message to me. I look forward to hearing from you.-- Christopher in LewisburgC & M Taylor in TNe-mail: [email protected] --------- ----------From: "David H.

Can you help?My father's mother was Carrie Roberson, daughter of James B. Robersonand Bettie Bullock Roberson. They moved to TN from NC in the late 1800. J. B. is listed in the 1899 Marshall Co.
