Next time I'll write to people privately so I don't get slapped on the hand publically for trying to help. You really do like to call people out geez One of his questions was something to the effect of the distance between and relationships of Loudoun Co. Va and Kentucky, in part, questioning whether or not this could be the same family etc. (don't have it in front of me right now) I feel that any tiny tidbit that can put a connection together on families separated by distance as these were, helps. Just relying on the magical documents to drop down out of the sky to connect these people doesn't always happen. I was merely trying to show that Rawleigh gave his sons property in Loudoun and that Charles and family and brothers moved to Kentucky thereby answering his question as to why Kentucky from Loudoun Co. One of the people he mentioned in his query was a John Peyton Harrison which is why I mentioned those people showing another connection to Loudoun Co. Chinns. Mentioning these other Chinns etc in Kentucky were only to help him establish he is on the right track and has the right families and showing they too came from Loudoun Co. and possibly sometimes having information like I gave, will often strike a cord when reading a document say IN Kentucky and you say WAIT.... I just read that name the other day. Again, sorry it was so long and full of inconsequential information not directly relevant to Christopher but people will never find what they are looking for waiting for that one piece of info to drop out of the sky. Sometimes you must back that train up and start the trip all over again. I know these Chinns in Loudoun Co like the back of my hand. I will take all further communications about this off list. This is why people don't participate on the list as you once asked about. No one likes being laughed at and made fun of. I was only trying to help. Had I continued on with several emails I can see bringing to my attention off list but that was my first post on it, including a little <grin> didn't help. Sorry I'm in a rough mood tonight. It hurt my feelings. I try to do what I can - I don't have the resources and spend all my time doing genealogy and have the books and documents you all have. If I had a simple answer to his question I would have said so. I'm sitting here on my couch going through folders and reading page after page of stuff to see if I can find him the answer he is looking for I walk in and see this. It makes me want to throw the whole thing back in the drawer and say screw it. This is what happens when I try to help. So I'll just be quiet.
