From my research this family line ties with several printed in the book. Information to me provided by Evelyn Pedigo Crouse. Corrected by Teresa G. Whittemore

On page 196 Mary Ann Clark story: I, Mary Clark Pryor, am responsible for this mistake. I thought I had correct information on S. Donoho, female age 9 in 1860 census of Macon County. Since the book was published, I have found that the Susan Donoho who married Newton West is really the daughter of William & Amelia Davis Donoho. Now I am back to asking, what happened to Mary Ann Clark and Rod Donoho’s daughter?

On page 189 The picture shown to be Carter triplets is really the Owens triplets. I turned in a picture of 6 children: The Carter triplets and the Owens triplets together but somehow before getting into the book it got misplaced. The story that went with the picture that was printed also got misplaced and is not in the book. The saddest part of this is that the lady I interviewed to write the story has since passed away and I do not even have a copy of it in my computer. It started with Thompson Cornwell’s daughter Amanda who married William Williams and came down to the Owens triplets’ children and grandchildren.
