Jackie -- Have lots on HOUSEMANs although a bit scarce on the Botetourt Housemans in this century only (lots earlier). I live right now in Colorado Springs, but am moving to Northern Virginia in early August. Once I'm settled there, I hope to go down to Botetourt County this fall for a weekend. It'll be a few days before I can send you anything. I'm having knee surgery tomorrow and will be out of pocket part of next week. I also have a lot of KESSLER info and some GIVEN info I can share. --jsl ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Downen <jjd@uia.net> To: <VACRAIG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 10, 1999 8:26 PM Subject: Re: [VACRAIG-L] Steve please contact me about Ross Cemetery > Hi, How wonderful to find a cousin!
