    1. Hello, my name is Adelina Sowell and James Retherford was my husbands great grandfather. As a matter of fact, Danny Curry had just posted something on Facebook about the Retherford family reunion, which Michaeal had wanted to be added to any notification list and take part. We used to live fairly close to Holmes county but moved to Kentucky this year for a new position of mine.
      Could we have permission to use some of you photos and information to fill in our blanks on the family tree? we've gotten fairly far on it but I have never been able to find any Native American connection at all, even messaging a few other people on Ancestry who are supposed to come from the same line as well as checking the Indian Rolls and Fold3.
      My email is adelinahay@hotmail.com and I'm AFRHsoldier20 on ancestry.

      Thanks, Adelina
