Hi Glen!

Your family sure did get around :-) Thanks for the great info! I have
found Thomas and Samuel on the 1870 census and from that I've been able to
narrow down the area of the district they lived in (luckily I recognized
some of the surrounding names). I've already put out some feelers to
friends in the area. I'll post whatever I find to the list.

Earl and I finally finished the first floor --- two days ago! Just in time
to be filmed for "Old Homes Restored" on HGTV yesterday. The show won't air
until the summer --- I'll keep you posted.

Have a great holiday!
Kathy
