THanks Walt.
You know then I guess I do l;-)
   I still have not got very many mile stone stories on my family.
I think the ( duel) was the funniest thing I read, too bad it was on my relation, possible my great grand father, yup only 1 great between me and 1843, most of the other people I found is 4 , 5, and 6 greats in my family. One reason I am searching so hard is because I think there are a few still alive and would like to meet them.  I found a few Coopers, Maupins and Matneys , looking for a Penrose. Also looking for who ever IS decorating my Uncles grave Guy Matney in the Independence Cemetery.
    I am trying to save enough to cover 10 Matney graves with permanent markers, seems they got left out, my Aunt who wanted this done passed away a couple years ago at 90, I did get a taped visit with her.
