How can someone get a hold of the book you mentioned?I am searching for a link to a miracle:my gggrandmother's maiden name was Nancy Gaddy (or so she believed).She should have been born about 1858.My grandmother remembers her telling her that she was orphaned at an early age, believed that the orphanage was in Thomasville, NC, and that she was later adopted by a doctor in Asheville,NC.She believed her name was Gaddy because she came to the orphanage on the same day as a boy named Woodfin Gaddy,who she believed was her brother.She had been told that her parents died in a flood, and that she possibly had some Cherokee heritage.She then married William Henry Woody from Mitchell Co.,NC.She died in 1935.Any help anyone could give me would certainly be appreciated.I'd love to solve this age old family mystery.
Thanks
