Gene (Post24). If there wasn't any "confusion" and everything was clear and settled, we wouldn't need to communicate with one another. Don't think of it as "confusion", it is really a search for the truth. If you are confused now, can you imagine what it was like a few years ago? like nobooks on Powell, no books like The LAS book, no computers, no ready copies of the Census. People like James Hall would get an idea and write to someone far off, and wait several months for a reply - if he got a reply at all. He and others had to wait until vacation, so they could visit a Library in some distant city. We do more research in one evening than they did in a year, and we have made progress. Two years ago we didn't know whether Sarah Slater lived or died - now it's on Google. Stick with it - we need you.
PS. Does any one know what the "J. J." stood for?
