Here is an email I did: (this was returned, no longer valid email address) Sunday, October 10, 1999 10:02 PM To: kacycroy@aol.com I have an old picture, circa 1900-10, which looks like a wedding photo of Francis Logan Smith and Cora Hudson. I saw your query, which doesn't really relate to Francis. Did you have any information on him? Where did Velia Melinda die? Did they have children? Thank you! (Would you like me to email you the photo?) Lisa Rieger Your query:
Ringgold County Query Archive One April 1997 through January 1998 Name: Kacy Croy Email:kacycroy@aol.com Location: Santa Ana, CA, USA Date: Friday, January 9, 1998 at 14:48:07 Comments: Looking for informaton on Benjamin MILLER and family. They resided in Jefferson Township, Ringgold Co., Iowa. Benjamin married Sara Ellen RUBY about 1862 there in Ringold. Children: Elizabeth b. 1863, Ida b.186?, Sara 1868, Velia Melinda b. 24 Feb. 1870, Amos b. 1872, James b. 1874 and Laurana b. 1879. I am a descendant from Velia Melinda who married Francis Logan Smith and died at age 31. I am mainly concerned about finding a death record for Benjamin. I have been unable to find him in any census after 1880. His family can be found in that area and I am sure he remained there untill his death. I also have information on the Damon/Rockwod family if anyone can help or needs help with that line. Anxious for a reply. Kacy
