For those of you who may not receive the Laurel Messenger

In
Vol. XLI Number 1 - Feb. 2000 issue (Brothersvalley area), there is
a
write
up on the Cable Family that goes back to Abraham Cable and wife Mary
(____),
son Michael Cable, b. ca. 1763 who married July 5, 1795 Barbara
Smith. The
children that was mentioned in Michael's estate papers were: Susanna,
Joseph, Jonathan, Samuel, Benjamin, Michael and Leah.
>From here on down in the article is on Samuel Cable (1812-1893) married
Elizabeth Helsel and has a very nice picture of him and seperate one's on
his daughter Elizabeth and his son Benjamin Franklin Cable.
Unfortunately, the most accurate items in the "Samuel Cable Family" article
are the photographs. I'm listed as a source for the article but had no input
and never saw any of it until I received my copy in the mail. I don't even
know what the "Cable Family Notes" are that I'm supposed to have authored.
There is a lot of wrong information in the article and would advise you not
use it.
