An Email from a Contributor

I received an email this week from Mary Louise Pipes ( her maiden name) who is a descendant of Windsor Pipes of Mississippi. (Windsor Pipes was John Pipes Jr.'s brother). Mary is a decendant of Isaac Pipes who was a Civil War soldier (CSA) and was at the siege and fall of Vicksburg in 1863. She visits our pipesfamily web site often.

Bob,
Thank you for the reminder . . . once again, I've spent
hours at your website (printing out pages and trying to put some
of the pieces together about our illustrative ancestors).
As promised, I'm putting a $100 "check-in-the-mail" TODAY . . .
wishing it could be more. (a few more months down the line, it may be)
Thanks to all of you for the wonderful pics, articles, links, etc.
I've found it fascinating how you all have tracked our "Yankee" family
as they journeyed south to eventually become "Rebels"!!
Best of luck in this labor of love in the cemetery restoration.
Sincerely,
Mary Louise Pipes (Bills - Adams)
P.S. for anyone who's interested or has more info, I'm from
John Jr.'s brother Windsor's line . . . when that line of David Pipes
finally migrated to Mississippi and Louisiana, my great grandfather
Issac Thomas Pipes (and his wife Louisiana Stone) had 9 children,
of which my grandfather Louis Ballard Pipes was born 1869 on the
Beechgrove Plantation in Clinton, LA. The family came to Texas in
1876.
