    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZCC.2ACE/100.349.354.355.359.360.365 Message Board Post: I can tell you what you want to know about Gartins/Neaces. They lived in Russell Co Virginia at Hamblins Fort at Castlewood Virginia. 2nd generation first settlers in Breathitt, Pike Counties KY Quicksand KY Genealogy Society wrote a book on the Neaces in that area. They are brothers of Henry III although he was not mentioned in it. Sephrona and Scott are buried in the Lewis Cass Gartin Cemetery on East Fork at the old home place. Been there. I have researched these families for a long time. Ask any question you want. A de La Force book has been written and he says Margaret is definitely NOT an Indian. He has her line as does John Counts of Glade Hollow and Pioneer Recollections of SW Va. There is a twist to the Indian story as my sister told it to me the other day but I want to investigate it further before I relay it. It may settle this mystery.
