Interesting.  My Blocher’s lived in Spencer County Indiana and that is where Barbara Blocher ended up marrying Thomas Bristow.  Coincidence I’m sure.

	Where did your Bristow’s originate from?  My Bristow’s started out in Kentucky and then went to Indiana for a few generations and then on to Iowa.

		For Pat - I just found a few of the pictures I told you about of Gallahers headstones in Columbia Co., WA. I still am unsure exactly which cemetery this was. It was probably Smith Hollow or Covello Cemetery maybe Bundy Hollow cem?. I will email you the pictures, one has a name & date you can make out pretty good.

			Thank you for this. I think some of the Gallahers went to Washington as well, but no idea which ones. This may help.  If you do get a picture, I’d appreciate it.

			The Columbia (and later Asotin) records are important also, sometimes it’s easy to forget the change in county lines!

			I was at an very old cemetery many years ago in Columbia Co., WA. where my pioneer families went - lived & died, Walla Walla/Dayton, WA. & area. I remember seeing a very old grave & the name Gallaher on a headstone. I forgot the first name. It was at Smith Hollow or Covello Cemetery?. The cemetery was not taken care of it's up a a small hill where the farmer was plowing all around the hill & even getting into the graves - closer & closer. We walked up to the graves from the road & it was out in the middle of no where. I can't find that name at Smith Hollow & Covello online, darn. Next time I'm up that way I will go there & take more pictures. 

			*Don't forget to check out Columbia County for your family graves that went that direction.  You never know where they ended up in the end.    Nancy
