Diane, I share that story every chance I get. Have never been lucky enough to have it happen again. I am decended from William Bingham Meade, hero of the battle of Cowpens in which he was wounded. He settled in Logan circa 1800. Harry -----Original Message----- From: wboatr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: May 24, 2000 7:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WVMINGO] Starr's in the Creek ! Harry, thanks for the story, that was cute. I descend from James Starr, 1798, Logan, WVA. Diane
