Hi Wayne:
. Perhaps someone has information on my above named gggrandparents. Their
1st daughter, ELIZA ADELINE JONES, b 09 Nov 1863 in Sullivan Co TN, m my
great grandfather CALEB MILTON SEAL(E)(S), ( b 04 Apr 1854 Rose Hill, Lee
Co VA) 23 Oct 1879 (not sure where). ELIZA was the oldest of 18 children
according to family tradition. Some of her siblings are: CAL who m. MOLLY,
BILL who m DORA, "DOC" and JIM. These siblings all stayed in BOONE and
MONTGOMERY COs in IN after the families moved there sometime in the 1880's.

I am hoping that perhaps someone may have information on an "incident" that
occurred either in LEE CO VA or surrounding area, probably betweeen 1884
and 1886. It seems that my ggrandfather, CALEB SEAL, and my gggrandfather,
SAMUEL JONES, and probably others, were involved in the "accidental death"
of a fellow "fell" into a cave and died. I believe the incident was
political, altho, back then it could have been some sort of feud, too.

If anyone has information on any of the folks or the "incident" mentioned
above, I would sure be happy to get it. I have much family info on the
SEAL line from the late 1700's on forward that I will glad to share.

Thank you to any one who has information or who can tell me where to look
for it.

Nancy/IL
