Hey Briscoe,I live in Shreveport, LA.Commodore and his daughter, Lillie were living with Rhoda and William Watkins in LA in 1900?Etta must have died in childbirth.I recently found a conclave of Curingtons,in Franklin Parish.The three Cureton/Currington boys who crossed to LA,James, Frank, and Aaron, all spelled their last names differently.All these cousins don't even know they are related!!Some Curingtons are living within throwing distance of my Cureingtons--but will swear they are not related.I figure the boys must have argued about something once they moved here.I have still not found James' first wife.I found him in 1870, living in Catahoula parish with his friend, Richard Posey and Sarah Posey--from Bulloch Co Ala.Richard had a sister Sarah, so maybe this is my long lost gggm!Richard Posey's family lived next to a Hilary Hooks family in Ala, that must be where the first name of my ggf (Hilary or Hillrey) came from.That family also had a daughter, Roseann(or Roxanne) that may be James first wife.Anyway, if you come across anything, please let me know!!!Sharron
