I want to thank everyone who responded to my John Konvalinka e-mail address
request -- including John Konvalinka!

I was trying to contact him because I received the following message:

>I noticed on your webpage that you list Hugh Sanders and his wife
>Catherine Hoskins, and their son Nathaniel Sanders/Saunders, the Baptist
>minister with his wife Sally Pattie. I descend from this line, but have
>never seen the surnames of either wife. What source did you use to
>obtain this information?

>I descend from Mary Saunders who married John Straughan. They moved to
>Kentucky from Orange County, VA. Please let me know your sources for
>your Sanders/Hoskins/Pattie information.
>
>Martin E. Hollick
>

I could recall corresponding with John Konvalinka and Ralph Sanders about
Rev. Nathanial Sanders, so that's why I was seeking him out.

In the meantime I asked a Baptist historian about Rev. Nathaniel Sanders
and received this reply:

>Dear Bill, A man from Virginia Beach, VA, named William P. Boyer wrote
>GENEALOGY NOTES ON THE SAUNDERS FAMILY OF ORANGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA in 1983
>which gives the traditional version of that family's history. I do not have
>a copy, but Mr. Boyer is still alive because I saw his name listed in the
>Virginia Historical Society's sign-in journal last week. I bet he would be
>willing to send or sell a copy to your correspondent.

So anyone who knows who Nathaniel's wife and mother's name were, I think
Martin Hollick would appreciate hearing about it. And I'm sure some people
will be interested in Mr. Boyer.

I don't have a web page, by the way. So that part is a mystery.
