Tom, I can`t tell you how exciting to find some news like that, I have so many questions, I do have some information and census records (or copy's) of them in TN but there ages were different, I have some pictures of John and Elizabeth's grave stones, I also have pictures of Jacobs family, but don't know who Johns parents were. Can you scan pictures or letters into the computer? I would love to have copies, if you don't mind.
