Hi Anthony!!!!!!
Yup, the VA is getting very picky - particularly re things Confederate (gee, I wonder why???? - big grin here) and with sequestration, etc.
Sherryl Miller at the Lonoke County Museum is trying to find a McKinney desc. there in/near Cabot; I can sign if necessary (Lt. McKinney's mother was the sister of my g3-grandpa in Stewart Co. TN; making her my g4-aunt?)
Will keep y'all posted....!!!!!!
y.v.o.s.,
Ken
