      To Dwight Thompson
      Date 20/03/2015 12:17
      Subject Comments: Dwight,

      I noticed Minerva B HASTINGS' name is spelled as Minerva and Minnerva. [2 'n's]
      Still working on her and her family after all these years. Her son Thomas MORRIS
      ended up in KS. I can try to find that data for you if you are still interested.

      Most sincerely,
      Kathy McDowell Cline
      Kathy McDowell

    Name:
    • Have found her middle name to be Maria as well. Have since found out that the lady with the middle name of Maria, IS NOT this Minerva, but another lady from New York.
