Hi Barbara, I just wanted to wish you good luck on getting into the D.A.R. although I don't have any information on your Melinda Ginger who married Thomas P. Nichols or any of the other names you mentioned. I am in the D.A.R. under Edmund Williams, a pioneer of Carter Co., TN. If you were looking for a Williams name I might be able to help. My Williams family has been prominent in Tennessee in and around Johnson City, TN.. Good luck to you! I know it's alot of work, but keep on looking everywhere you can think of. ~Martha
