Interesting stuff Eric, can't wait to see what you find. Nicholas is a new name and one I have not heard before. Do you know when naming patterns started or how closely they were followed? (Ex. first son named after fathers father, then wife's fat...
I have already scanned all of my aunt Gay's pictures. I have several of my grandfather, his brother, and their dad and mom. I only found that one of Wesley D. I did find a book that had some hand written information in it and also made a scan of it. Like I said I need to get busy and scan it all and put it on a disc.
We have started Chemo and it is going well. So far no bad reactions. I have heard from Sis and I need to take time to scan all my Pitchford Documents and pictures and send her a CD. since I have no children I am so glad that someone wants my Pitchford research. I just wish i could find someone that wanted the rest. I have a 4 shelf bookshelf full of Notebooks.
I will be going back to Webster County to the Mt. Zion Cemetery where Wesley D. and his father Eli Pitchford are buried. My Dad and Grandfather are also buried there. Susannah Jane Alford's parents are also buried near Wesley D. and Susannah. I have taken pictures of all the tombstones. I don't know if I told you but I found a picture of Wesley D. with his 2nd wife. I was just amazed when I found it at my great aunt Gay's. She had many pictures that she had inherited from John Pitchford, my great grandfather and the son of Wesley D. I am still looking for a picture of Susannah Jane. I think that would be a great find.
Print it by all means. If you have the facility to remove the paragraph i put in in error which was in brackets. Look forward to seeing the site you mentioned. Marie

Lindsey,
I am sorry but I am trying to figure out who you are. We are cousins my grandmother was Mary Lou, and my father is George W Denton Jr. I love the picture of grandma and I had never seen my greatgrandmother. My aunt Ruth looks beautiful.
