Hi List- Has anyone researched the family of John Henry (s/o James A. s/o Jesse) Treadway and Araminta "Minnie" McCune? I am using Vera Treadway's "Children of Jesse" and suspect that some of the children are double entered. Has anyone researched this line with a different source? The book lists" Ruth Rufus R. Walker W. George Sherman Louisa Tursa Louisa Eulna Walker Dillion R. R. (male) Rufas Ellen Victoria Ruth May Alice M. Both Walker's have the same birth date and are married to Clara Belle Lewis so I am safe in assuming they are the same. Were there two children name "Rufus" and is R. R. a third "Rufas"? Did they have two girls by the name of Louisa. I know some families named new children after others that had died but I am skeptical in this case. Any insight would be appreciated!! Also, does anyone know if there is an index to "Children of Jesse"? If there isn't, is anyone interested? At this point I would be willing to put one together if it would be helpful to anyone else. Let me know... Sincerely- Heather Johnson [email protected] ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Heather, I suspect they are the same person. In that same book, Vera listed my great-great grandfather William Henry Treadway with a brother Jesse and a brother 'Iafra"...apparently either she or whoever provided her the information had seen an entry for Jesse written with the first elongated "S" typical of the 19th century (which looks like a cursive "f") and interpreted it this way. Without documentation, it's difficult to know how accurate some of these family listings are. Unfortunately, that means redoing the research to document it.
