http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/bbs53x/mocwmb/webbbs_config.pl?noframes;read=10420 . Rose Cramer in her 1972 history of Wayne County cites the oral history of the Holmes clan. As you can see above Young Finas Stephens had daughters married to Dennis and Holmes clans, all 3 of which are tied together in the 7 from Wayne county killed in Arkansas at the end of the war which stimulated the search for the connections. Not to mention that I hiked to "Rebel Cave" many times as a Boy Scout and camp staff from Camp Lewellen over the years.
