Hello, Folks. Caves in the early 1800's should not be difficult
to trace. This riddle might be easier to solve if we knew where these
families lived before Texas. Likely places would have been AL, GA,
TN, KY, MO, NC, SC, VA. Does anybody know? EGT.

The information below was received today-from a Jim DODD who lives in
Milam
county, Texas.
He is a cousin to Beulah KITE HUNTER KUNKLE and Dovie KITE HUGG
MCKOWN, and
sends this information. It is just a start on 8 pages of longhand.
This is
the first three pages.
I am sending it to all the researchers that I have in file with these
names.
Please let me know your feelings about this information. Mrs. H.E.
Dodd
said that the grandparents were triplets---and this brings substance
to a
long held legend in our family. Submitted today-in hopes of opening
more
doors. Judy HUGG GRIMES
