Hi,
You have all been so quiet! Hope our list isn't broken :-(
I have been busy filling in gaps on the Poca connection ... and in the
process found the following of considerable interest:
This is in the family of Robert Carter HARRISON of previous messages we
have been talking about - mayor of Chicago. LOOK at MEREDITH - we have
MEREDITH in Limestone Co. AL ... relation??????
I believe this MEREDITH was in Mississippi Territory and not all that far
really from Limestone! If anyone knows anything about the MEREDITH's I
would be much obliged. I have a gut feeling that the Carter HARRISONs in
Limestone and possibly the MEREDITHs there will connect to this line -
would love to figure it out!
I am real busy helping Andrea with her homework etc. going to bed early and
getting up early (abt 4:30 am) when I can do some genealogy while they the
rest of the fam sleeps :-) this is gonna be a busy year!
becky :-)
