Hi Ed and the list:

June and I have been looking for ole Singleton for more years than I like to
think about! I surely hope someone on the list can help her. Singleton is
one big puzzle, and another one is Joseph Rhea/Ray who married Amy Allen. I
would love to find who Joseph's parents were. My dear 95-year-old friend in
Oregon has been searching for him for more than 50 years.
