> This is all I have so far, so anything You or anyone else can add

one

other
children also Miranda was born in La Porte so if she

IN. If
> there is anything you can add or change of this Please let me
know.
> > Today I mailed you some information on the Cannon family. As I told
you

example, I had

> > one of her sons naming his first daughter Lillian but my mother had

you

the

niece,

Bellingham,

Historical

and Museum
in

the brother of
my

extensive research

either.

wrong and that

born

showed Miranda
as
