Hi, Val!Looks like you found some more interesting items on our family.Another note of interest is that somewhere along the line, the spelling of PROWSE was changed to PROUSE.Rebecca's name was PROWSE (or so it appears on the document copies that Sandy W. sent me), but since everything was hand written in those days, it must have been later "interpreted" as PROUSE.
I'm glad to finally know where the GROVES name came from, but I'm still mystified as to how there can be so many unrelated people named Walter Groves Whicker.My grandfather, uncle and cousin were all named WG, but I've found others with the exact same name who claim NOT to be related to "our" branch of the Whicker family.
Stay well and have a great 2002!
Bill Whicker
