Virginia, I knew about the marriage of Mary Ann Herren (Herron, Herrean, etc.) Adams and Dabner Pennington. I wonder if you have the full text of that 1976 article in the Ozark publication? I'd love to see exactly what it said. I agree with you that this is a wonderfully informative site. It's attended by people who demonstrate that they know more about these issues than any others I've found.
