Mudd Descendants visit Fort Jefferson NP

I sure hope Linda can scan and put those online because you have me totally confused as to why I have never heard or read of Demond before. His statement(s) would certainly have been picked up by someone else over the years unless they were just found recently in someone's attic. I have checked indices in the best books, The Evidence tome, trial transcripts, and cannot find any reference to him. I asked Joan Chaconas, who proofed your book and wrote the foreword, and she told me that she had questioned you about the same thing because she had never heard of him either.
