      Editor's Note: Seems as this "Christian" is too old to be issue of George, probably his brother...DAH.

      Hi Cousin David.

      I've found a new cousin whose gg grandfather is John W Clonts, son of "Johnnie." She states her grandfather, John H. Simmons, told her that John William is a Jr and that his father was John William Clonts Sr. This supports the D.C. Clontz statement found in "The Annals of Upper Georgia Centered in Gilmer County" by George G. Ward" p. 221 that John W."s father was also named John W. I sent a copy to you several years ago.

      She also says that Sarah Jane's (sister of John W.) 1906 Cherokee application lists Christian Clonts and Peggy as her grandparents. If so, Christian and not George is our gg grandparent. I'll try to get a copy. She is asking if I think Christian is our gg grandfather and the brother of George. What do you think? Hate to lose George because we have some solid information on him thru his service and pension records. I thought these Cherokee applications would give some important information, but John W. and J. M. A, only spoke about Mahala's parents.

      This cousin is Janice ? and lives in Powder Springs, Georgia, just northwest of Atlanta, email is TennisClay. Calling her this weekend.

      Haven't talked with you in some time. Hope all is well.

      The best, John R. Clonts in California

      HI David,

      Barbara and I returned home the 19th from my one and only high school reunion,1947, in Tennessee. Afterward we toured several counties in NC. Probably the best find was in Cabarrus County library where the batism records of Organ Lutheran Church were found.
