Here is a transcription of one of the letters:

And who is Anna from Mexico? how does she fit in with our 1914 Juarez story?

Don't forget that Mary Ella and John H.C. Smith lived in Chihuahua, Mexico from 1865 to 1868

One of the cemetery small favors was in St. Louis, at Bellefontaine.
Lots of famous folks buried there.
My list from the quest included in these photos.
This place had lots of civil war (and afterwards) folks. And I found a marker for a family named White.

I want to know the maiden name of Don's wife (could his son, David, be part of the cursed lineage)????

To unspill Smith's blood would probably require a Sullivan to make the ultimate sacrifice to save a Smith. Sigh.

McPherson's family tree shows an ancestor of PS who died in 1875. Sullivan is Patrick Sullivan, correct? And Sullivan died in 1875.

If so, it would stand to reason that Patrick Sullivan is the ancestor of both McPherson and Kerry.

Any of my logic faulty there?

Edited to add link to McPherson's family tree.

So it appears that what I was reading as McPherson on the family tree is actually M. Pierson.

So maybe I was completely off about this.

The family tree from McPherson's update two weeks ago was a page he got from Lothar and how he figured out that Kerry was a descendent of PSullivan. We haven't found a direct link to McPherson yet, have we? Who are Don's parents? His mother might be the link - do we know her maiden name?

On that page I see Comstocks and Pierce and Hilbert and Pierson but according to Don's update, those lineages were all gone (that was as far as Lothar had gotten on his own research). It was Don who figured out Kellie married Ben and then traced down to Kerry.

I'm hoping something in Don's new papers shows us that connection between Don and the Sullivan line (so he would be part of the curse).
