Joe, Sorry to send this directly to you. My attempts to send to list keep bouncing back. I know the problem is with the sender.HA!!!! Spent the last three days in Itawamba Co., Looking for info on my family --I ran across quite a bit of info on Thomas Dutton. Of particular interest was info in the index of loose probate packets, etc in the courthouse. I did not get to these and there were air conditioning problems and terrible thunderstorm. I did get deed, marriage and tombstone info on some folks. Plan to return next week to check the packets and nothing else. These were two entries: Thomas Dutton vs. OB and GB Patterson , then TJ Dutton, Minor. Let you know what I find. By the way, I was looking over the info from Eula' CA contact. Laura Dutton, daughter of Thomas Dutton and Mary Katherine(sic--have copies of documents signed by her) Bates was named Laura Ann Dutton, not Laura Bell. I have pictures of the old home place and a few other things if any one is interested. Also have copy of the marriage certificate of Thomas/MC and their daughter Laura/John Chesley Bethay. If you'll give me instructions again maybe I can get things posted on the list myself. Plan a trip to take additional photos in the cemeteries. Will try to get photo of gravesite of Aaron Dutton. Location is very isolated and may be unreachable now as the Tenn/Tom Waterway has made access to some of Itawamba Co. impossible. My sister's brother-in-law is in law enforcement and has offered to accompany us. Let you know how it turns out. Sonya
