This message is in parts because of its length. All of these individuals
are included on the GOTCHER HomePage at

http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~giles/gotcher/gotcher.htm

If you can fill in any details on these lines, I would greatly appreciate
it. I hope to update the HomePage in late July and would be very happy to
incorporate shared information into the database.

The GOACHER / GOTCHER family married into the HAVINS / HAVENS family a
great many times. The families travelled together from the Tennessee area
to Missouri and then on to Texas.
