I went way back into my archives to 18 July 1998 and retrieved an e-mail from my dear departed friend Billie Allen. Billie had been in contact with a relative in Laurens, SC who had shared a lists of births from the “Charlie Rivers Family Bible.” [1]
Billie stated that “Catherine only sent me one page of births and I will contact her for more info:”
