I want to point out an error in the book on the mother of Allen Ledbetter. Father Robert Henry Ledbetter. Mother book has A.J. Tucker - should me N. J. Tucker for Nancy Jane

I have documented proof of the name and she is my ggrandmother. You can handle this any way you choose, but if ask, please refer to this note. Mary A. Hudson mahud@rollanet.org

2/21/02 We have since learned the correct name of this lady taken from Bible records her name is Rebecca Jane Ledbetter.

Also my e-mail address has changed if you want to or please make the correction when you have time. from mahud@rollanet.com to mahud@fidnet.com
