[Dear Editor,]

I have been doing research on the Setliff or Sutliff family tree for the past 11 years and am at a standstill. I am in hopes some of your readers will supply me with more information.

My father was Dennis Noel Setliff born 1897, Grandfather Robert Lee Setliff born 1874, Great grandfather John Abram Setliff born 1851, G. G. Grandfather Burnett (Barney) Sutliff born 1820, G. G. G. Grandfather Abram Setliff born 1741, G. G. G. G. Grandfather John Setliff born 1695.

[Dear Editor,]

The picture on the front page of the May, 1984 issue of THE MOUNTAIN LAUREL, "Bell Spur Baptizing 1901" had family members of mine in it. It was my great-grandfather and grandfather, Elder Mat and son Willie Blancett.

If some of your readers know more about the Blancett history, I would appreciate them getting in touch with me. My father was Marion Green Blancett and mother, Wilda Horton Blancett. I know we were related to the Barnards, Cassells, Jessups and Turmans. My mother's grandfather was a Bowman.

Thanks,
