When you ask a question on the list that may interest others, it should be answered on the list.   Bill In speculative defense of those who replied to me only, perhaps they felt that the information they were offering was already well known to list subscribers. In any case, whether to reply to sender or list is not always an easy call. The message I sent (included below) did go to the entire list and contained in the second line the name of the town, "Merrill," which had been offered as the location of the former "Jenny" in two separate messages that were sent to me personally. Probably I should have made it more obvious. Sorry. To be honest, because the default for this list is for replies to go only to the sender, I thought I might be scolded for sending to the entire list, but I wanted to let the list know that I had received help and to reduce "clutter" by sending only one reply even though I was responding to two messages. Also, in another reply to sender, a WIMARATH subscriber informed me of an abandoned population center called Jenny near Crandon in Forest County. Thanks to all for your help. -rex ----- Original Message ----- From: Rex To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 7:32 PM Subject: Re: [WIMARATH-L] Where's Jenny? Thank you Sharon and Alice. Looks like that was an easy one for you. Checking my 2002 roadmap of Wisconsin I see that Merrill is not far from Wausau. This makes me suspect I have "the other" William Averill who keeps popping up. I have seen him listed repeatedly on land records filed in Wausau during that era as a "junior," which rules him out. My Wm. A. was not a jr. and was probably in Weyauwega, Waupaca County at that time, 1864 -- though I can't prove it, he was there at age 13 living with his parents in the 1860 census. Thanks for your help -- better service than a "convenience" store! Good luck with your research. -rex Tallahassee, North Florida
