Mr. Bill,
Sorry to be so long about staying in touch, but my wife had a stroke. Things seem to be better now, and she is home.
You once offered to check your sources for Robert Slyvanus Latimer, born 1820 or 1821, in Tennessee. If it is not too much trouble, could you reply and let me know if you had any luck?
About 3 weeks ago, we lost one of our older Latimer relatives here in Mississippi. Mr. Thomas Latimer died shortly before his 94th birthday. Until recently, he was driving and still lived by himself. He was a born hunter and truly loved his hounds. So much so that at the burial ( in the country cemetery where we have been buried for over 135 years), one of those present remarked that he hoped a deer would not come up or all the Latimers would leave to hunt.
If I have any information you are interested in, please let me know.
Thanks,
Allen
