If you have a local library card, you can do interlibrary loan as the Manatee County Public Library has them in circulation. Thanks for your support.

I found pictures of Eliza and, of course, Mrs. Joe. I find references to Mary's husband in Civil War data - but nothing about Michael Dickens. I'm going to keep trying - I have a membership in Ancestry.com and they have added foreign databases - i.e., England. He HAD to have been born somewhere! I won't write anything regarding the story so as not to give anything away to those who wish to read.Susan Humestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374042568634619411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723342246366700898.post-61362752936193169182007-08-26T19:54:00.000-04:002007-08-26T19:54:00.000-04:00Wow!

And I am humbled that you can see the real reason for my writing, to glorify God. Thank you such much. You are a great encouragement to me. As for your search for Michael Dickens, if you find him, let me know. I have been searching for him for over twenty five years. He just drops off the face of the earth. Either he was killed in battle or he ran away and changed his name. A lot of soldiers did that seeking a fresh start in Texas because it was not war torn. Again, thank you for your encouragment. I am on the home stretch now. About 15 chapters left to do to wrap up this stage of Eliza's life. Love, CathyIsland Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04338707720934732800noreply@blogger.com
