I think, maybe, that you are going to find that the Edwards children belong to P.G., too...there are too many of them to think that they are foster children or relative's children....and P.G. is ten years older than Weeks, he is only 30 in the 1870 census, so he would have been 10 in 1850....So I think she married and Edwards before she married Strother... Speaking of which, I have an Elisha Strother and a Samuel Strother, in Missouri, in 1850..If you find a connection to either of them, let me know... >From: "Estella Mims" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [TX-CEN] Weeks-1870-Navarro >Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2004 16:57:25 -0700 > >I got the image.
