Yo Patrick! :-) Sorry I didn't mention your name earlier in my reply, and Anne Whitaker McCRACKEN too. How's grad school coming along? Well I hope! Same for you and Anne too, if ya'll haven't sent me your WHITAKER data, please do so, and I'll do the same. And, let me know if ya'll don't have a copy of the photo I took of Abram's and Lydia's grave. Will be glad to send one. BTW, any specific grave sites everyone need. . . . from the Surry County region? I stop and try and get as many grave markers as I can of our own ancestry, but CSA veterans as well, regardless of surnames. Collection now is over 1000 and counting. :-) Next week, hope to get to Rockford.
