Shelley, I have LEE data from Ogreta WILSON HUTTASH. We have corresponded over the years and she has contributed very much to my knowledge of the GROCES. I assume you have her book, SOME OF THE DECENDANTS OF ISAAC LEE 1770-1836, publ in 1994. I have that information, and of course she has sparce data on GROCE. Would love to share the journey with you.

VICKREY- ASHLEY (1919 - 1977) Ruth PARMER- VICKREY (1890 - 1975) Edward Laurence GROCE- VICKREY (1859 - 1940) Elizabeth Lewis EARL- GROCE (1838 - 1915) Larkin GROCE (ca 1808 - ca 1841) Joshua GROCE (ca 1780 - 1833) Please give me your line. ***Jackie Ashley Pace ---------- > From: slee <slee@concentric.net> > To: Jackie Pace <jbpace@sprynet.com> > Cc: Walter Fuller <wfuller@gower.net>; TXSABINE-L@rootsweb.com; EAST-TEXAS-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: GROCE & WALDING > Date: Thursday, December 18, 1997 10:27 AM > > Hi, > > I think I'd like to compare notes with all of you GROCE searchers.
