cos1776 20150713 Note: something seems amiss here as Jeremiah only named a son John in his Will and there is no son John listed in JM Rankin's letter. JM Rankin supposedly left Lexington for Tennessee abt 1830, so it would seem that he would have known about a son (his 1st cousin) named John... More research is needed...
