Sent this round to some of you before I joined the list. Maybe someone
will recognize the source.
Hi - just found an intriguing post on Rootsweb that originally related
to Hester Ann Caton and Hines Linn. But it points to a a source I didn't
know about.
Has the following quote:
BEGIN QUOTE However, in the same book that I found the petition, I found
a reference to a William W. Lynn: "In the letters of Jesse Caton, Sr.,
Hines C. Lynn was the guardian of his four children - William W. Lynn,
Frances M. Lynn, Harvey H. Lynn and David H. Lynn in right of their
mother, Hester Ann Caton." This quote is from page 374 of "Some Boone
Descendants and Kindred of the St Charles District" by Lilian Hays
Oliver. Her reference is from "Letters of Administration of Jesse
Caton, Sr., Box 10, Vault of the Probate Court, Warrenton, Missouri.
There are no McCoys listed in the book. Marilyn END QUOTE
Any of you ever been to Warren, can get to Warren, have a contact there?
The letters of Jesse Caton might have some really interesting stuff
about Jesse's family and their life, as opposed to just the "Bible
entry" stuff that I have.
