Since I have done so much on my family, I thought it was only fair that I do a little looking on my husband's family. I must admit that I don't have a great deal of information. It seems that as a young man my father-in-law had feuded with his father. As a result, he dropped a "T" out of his surname for many years. Then, in the early 1950s, they came to a sort of peace and he put the "T" back in his surname.
