Wow! I love this list, too! And I have a Hulsey connection I know nothing about. Lucy Hulsey married David L. Brock, and lived in Dallas, Paulding County, Georgia until about 1890. In the 1880 census, Lucy's mother, also a Lucy, lived with them. Her birth state was listed as South Carolina. David and Lucy are buried in Kanawha, and lived in Kiomitia. He is my gggrandpa. Do you know anything about Lucy, Miss Mary?
