Re: proctors and tapscotts - yanceyAlso, Joseph, do you think there is any chance that your godmother may have known Jerry if that was such a tight-knit community? Thanks, Cheryl...

I will check on the Swann and Hawkins names for a Jerry, Je..

Yes, this Sherod/ Sherwood seems to be the one in the Revolut..  PINKNEY Descendants-Where R U? - cynthiaI have been looking for these leaves on my family tree and have not found one member descendant of this family.

Re: New Newspapers added Genealogybank.com - Tim PinnickGreat job Vicky but to the rest of you out there, the question I raised was if any of the "new additions" were AA papers.
