Penny -

You're absolutely correct.  The delete button exists for those not
interested in a specific topic.  I'll never understand why discussions about
genealogy are often shut down on this list.

Does anyone know of a connection between the Eppes family and the Red
Bollings (descendants of Pocahontas) in the early 1700s?

Thanks to those who started this interesting exchange of information.  It
would have gone undetected by me if you had not posted the info here.

I agree that this is interesting and also very pertinent to our study of the
Virginia way of life.   I have my own beliefs, but I do think that if
something was going on in the Jefferson household, it would not have been
looked upon very well and with his standing in the community, I am sure
people would have looked the other way.   Not an uncommon practice of the
time.

For those who are not interested in this information and discussion, please
use your delete key as the subject will clue you in.

I get about three hundred (300) emails a day and I scan all except the
advertising ones for clues to my ancestors.  I have found links on more than
one occassion. You can do this very quickly and I know if I can manage to do
it others can too. If it is a topic you knowyou are not interested in you
can do it even quicker. Just hit the delete key.  Why should I not be
allowed to receive these kind of topics, just because one or two people
complain!!
