Bonita,
I have an Elizabeth Vawter who married a John (I think) Stott
in KY. Several of the Stott children, along with the Hicklin's
and Denney's crossed the Trail to Oregon between 1845 and 1851. Any
interest?
I descend from the Hicklin's and Denneys, but two of the Denney sister's
married Stotts.

-------------------------
June - I am not a Grinstead descendant, but do have a little information
on the family because of their connection to my Vawters. According to "The
William Grinstead Family in America," compiled many years ago by Gorrell
Shumaker, Rev. Winfield Scott Grinstead was the son of William Alexander
Grinstead and Regina Vaught. William Alexander Grinstead was on of eleven
children of Edward Walton Grinstead and Catherine Donavan who were married
in Washington County, Virginia, 20 February 1810. No sources for any of
this information is given, except that most of the data was provided by
Mrs. W. D. Grinstead of Bonner Springs, Kansas.
