Sandy:
Thanks for the observation. I have not researched my husband 's line
that much. They were from the Edwards and Wabash Counties. If this
happens to be a cemetery you have indexed I would be delighted to have
the list of names. Even if I can't determine at this point that they
are some of our line I would submit it to the Greathouse web page
(rootsweb) that I subscribe to. If it is not indexed and you would be
going to the trouble of writing the information out I would not ask that
of you. I will keep this in my files and when I really get started on
the Greathouse line (if I ever get those Orrick's resolved) I will
contact you to give me a hand.

Thanks again, Carolyn
