Just like my kin...winding up in jail! This is why I didn't get into genealogy for so long--afraid of all the horsethieves I'd find.... I think someone told me or I read somewhere about this George the jailbird. Don't know anything else about him--and he MAY not even be ours Mecca--though the circumstantial evidence sure fits! Thanks for the lookup Sue. Found anymore on your McDOWELLs? If you'll remember, Martha McDOWELL (dau of Joseph I think) married Ephriam WALLER in 1830.
