Thanks everyone for the input. I think I will look in Letcher County next. According to census reports James was born in Virginia and Nancy was born in Kentucky, so maybe they got married near her home instead of his. This couple lived out their lives in the Pound area of Wise County and many of their descendents still live there. I have found some of them, but I am still looking for more. Thanks again for the help, Cathy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
