Donald R. Clark,

Hi. Thank you for this informative e-mail sent to the list.
Could you please send me an application by e-mail attachment for First
Families. I may also qualify for membership in the Civil War Society but I
need to research that aspect. I am relatively new at genealogy.

I believe I may qualify for membership through my father, Clayton Clay, who
was born in Lawrence County, and his maternal ancestors who were the Denin
and Payton families of Aid Township.

Thank you,

Barbara Clay Pasch
Largo, FL
