I think I have mentioned to all of you previously that I have twin girls (13 years old). All this talk of twins and wedding expenses is really starting to bring my anxiety level up...LOL...For the past 13 years I have had to buy two of everything. At one point, I had to move some of my furniture out to make room for their stuff. They rarely like or want the same things. Do not ask them where they want to eat or which movie to go see as they will NEVER pick the same thing. They HATE being referred to as "The Twins", and bicker and argue non-stop. Yet, they do not like to be separated (yes, at 13 they still share a bedroom), all dental, doctor, eye appointments have to be made together or they have a melt down. And nothing brings them closer together as someone picking on one of them. In first grade, a little boy pushed one of the girls, and the other one saw it from across the playground, ran over and kicked the little boy in the head. (All I could think was...Please don't sue me...Please don't sue me!) They are a walking paradox....can't stand to be together and can't stand to be apart. Enough to drive a Mom crazy. And yes, they are asking to go to the festival next year.

Hi Shelby, did you go to Twinsburg? I didn't go but I live in Northfield about 6 miles from there. I was busy but if I had known I would meet you I might have gone.

My husband and I married in 2001... It was a shoestring budget wedding. All told it was about $300. Hey I found my wedding dress at JC Penney for $14.99, It cost more to dry clean it!

Hello - I received a message from a lady on the Burchetts. The Elizabeth d/o John Burchett did marry Charles Randant. I thought that might be an error and could have been Charles Ransom Workman - wrong. The only George Washington Burchett I find is one born in 1857 and died in 1859. So Doris, we still need to find your Elizabeth and George Washington Burchett. They are somewhere in this huge Burchett clan. Rick

Ok... I know I'm slow sometimes, but where is East Fork of Twelve Pole. I know Twelve pole is a creek, but where is this??? Laura

Hello Doris - Please look through this gedcom: <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~burchett/burcdescratclif.html> This shows many descendents of Thomas Burchett born 1719 Lunenburg Co., VA. Rick

Hello Doris - This has to be the same family. The given name Benjamin is used over and over. I don't have the whole Burchett family in my papers. I can't find George Washington Burchett and Mary Hunt in my papers. I do show an Elizabeth Burchett born 10 March 1861 d/o John Burchett and Unknown. John Burchett married two times - first wife not listed but two children from this marrriage are Ellen and Elizabeth. It appears Elizabeth Burchett did marry Charles Ransom Workman but verification is needed. The parents of John Burchett are Benjamin and Elizabeth (Watson) Burchett. This is now a matter of wading through the Burchett gedcoms plus posting to Floyd, Lawrence, and Carter Co., KY lists. (Elizabeth is shown as marrying Charles Randant in my papers but that is too close to Charles Ransom Workman.) In short, I am sure these are your Burchetts - now a matter of pinning them down.

Rick, This is Doris again. Some info I have on Benjamin Burchett, maybe not the same one, is that my Benjamin and his three brothers were the first to secure grants in the part of Louisa (Sandy) Valley. Am I assuming the one you have written about is the same as mine? I hope! Help, help, and thanks so much.

Rick: Thanks so much for your response on the 'Burchett' line. What I have is: Elizabeth Burchett was born around 1858 in Floyd County, Ky. and married Charles Ramsey Workman 22 April, 1880 in Lawrence County, Ky. Her father was George Washington Burchett, born 1834 in Floyd County, Ky. Her mother was Mary Hunt. George and Mary married 14 Dec. 1855. George's father was Benjamin Burchett who married Nancy Lewis in 1821. This may have been another Benjamin Burchett that has been posted a lot, really not sure. I am trying to find more information on Benjamin Burchett and all his children. Any clues?? Again, thank you for responding! All this has been helpful for me including Gracie.
