Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2003 17:14:55 EST

Just thought you might want to make a correction on my great grandmother's
marriage record so as not to confuse someone. Elizabeth apparently gave her
previous married name of Collins (instead of her maiden name) when she
married W. D. ("Wid") Madden, since she was actually an Amburgey. She was
first married to John Wesley Collins and they had several children. If you
need more info, let me know.

You do a wonderful job on the Knott Co. site Gloria, and I'm we're all very
very grateful for you!! Thanks so much for your time and effort. You and your
hubby are in my prayers. Bless you!

Below is more data on Elizabeth Amburgey from my file.
