Marie, I have found some letters written to my mother in the late  50's
and early 60's from Frances Sellers, Giles Co TN., which contain some
information. Even a mention of a Bible belonging to Henry Sellers and
Elizabeth Hinkle, with birth dates of children and some marriages.
There is too much to type and Roots-L will not accept attachments. I can
either copy and mail or scan and attach to private e-mail (this would be
a long download and probably the mail would be just as fast).

BILL, I'm sorry.
I haven't rec'd any files from you or a letter the last day.
NOW, I'm not real bright on computers. But, try and answer this first.

YOU scanned a (one?)  letter from mom and saved it on your computer with a
name as = mom1956.jpg or =
YOU saved this one letter as a separate name on your computer?  =
TRY and explain how you have saved the letter , etc.

OK, you have 20 files.
These means you have 20 files with differant names?
SO, you could send me the ONE file that has moms letter or etc in it?
In ONE email?
LET me know where we are here. Sorry, I'm not too bright here.

This couple later went to Giles County TN ---I would like to correspond
with anyone with knowledge of their ancestors and descendants. I find a
lot of information on Giles County Johnson's, but having a hard time
separating them. I am descended from John Wilson Johnson and Frances L
Sellers. John Wilson Johnson first married Rebecca Johnson.
