Thanks so much, Pat. I know that you are doing a wonderful job for all of us in genealogy. Quite a few of the Rutherfords were in Robertson Co. but I know that most of the Simmons were around Limestone Co. and Freestone Co. I think that I have a good line on them but those Rutherford girls are hard to find so if you run across any of the surnames that I send I would appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks again.
