Many THANKS to 'Jared McDade' for contacting me and suppling me with the Birth Date of Jared Stocking, Jared and Lucy's Marriage Date, and all the Birth Dates of all their Children in Lucy 'Bigelow' Stockings Diary, and Photos of Stocking family. I have worked on this family for well over 16 years and without this information that Jared supplied me with, I was not able to complete this without him. THANKS JARED!
