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

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.
