Cousin Anne: Received your address, downloaded the picture. Will mail out the book tomorrow.
We may, well I'm almost certain we are Riley cousins also. Do you have any Riley family info? I'm pretty sure Anna Riley had a sister Jenny Riley who married Tempest's brother Andrew Slinger who was my GG Gfather. Henry Slinger their father is our common progenitor which makes us about 4th cousins Slinger and about 4th cousins Riley. It is interesting to see how the names Henry, Tempest, Andrew, Riley and others flow down through the family tree as you will see when you get the book. The reason I think the two Rileys were sisters is because Lois Heddens of Iowa a USA Slinger cousin was working on the Riley line and sent me a Riley work sheet a couple of years after we published the book. I believe I remember seeing the two girls listed as sisters on the family sheet. I looked for it tonight but didn't find the folder it is in. I saw it a couple of months ago so I know it's here somewhere. Will keep looking and hope you also have some information on the Riley family.
Sauk County WI is next county west of Columbia County where my branch settled and a little north west of the Capital, Madison. Merrimac where Tempest is buried is about 40-50 miles from Cambria near where Andrew and family settled. I will try to copy a map to insert in the book for you.
Keep digging, Cousin Phil.
