Deanie,

I'll check my records. The Gregories does sound familiar.

There were several Corder families that lived in Crawford Co., AR. So far,
I have not been able to connect my family with the Corders who moved there
from Wayne and Whitley Co., KY. Those Corders have been well researched
and share a lovely history. One member of this family married into my
cousin's family--the Stevensons.
