Bill,
Still another connection. Richard and Grissy were my ggg grandparents (is
that enought g's? ) Their daughter, Nancy married John Hamilton. Their
daughter, Susanne married Green Lands, They had Minnie, my Dad's Mom.
I've been talking some to Hilman Barger, here in Paducah. He is a SBarger
through Mother and Father. I believe it is Jacob and Maragret Moll. They
don't have email, but their son, Brian does. He is a little young to be so
interested now, but am hoping I can get him interested in geneology.
I am making progress with my new scanner, but am having trouble with copying
two columns. I havne't forgotten you...(promise to send Barger things)
Sharon
