Please *carefully* watch the phrase "on South Branch" vs "on the South Branch". They are different places, but the "the" gets omitted in extracts far too often. While we're at it, don't forget to pay attention to whether you're reading a legal document or a family letter. Cheryl The letter in my ggrandfather's Civil War papers states "we went to school at South Branch" not in or on South Branch.
