Hi Lynda, I would be so happy to present the application to Terri and Bobby;
Bobby cherishes any thing
that has info concerning his mother, the late Betty Baker Marchi. I am
working toward joining DAR my
self; hope I can make it. This is such a nice gesture from you. As to the
info on the birth date of Julian
I got mine from the application for First Families of Gallia which had been
submitted by Betty and her
sister, Mary Margaret Baker Willis who is living. I will check with her to
see where they got their info for
their applications for FF and get back with you. As for Gallia County
Census questions; just direct
your questions to Henny C, Evans; she will know. Thanks in advance for the
DAR application. Anne
