I so enjoy reading this story. This is one of my great great.....grandparents. My name is Thekla. I am a decedent of Thekla Patton Dobbs. My grandfather was a Jones.
Well, I'm tickled pink. I don't normally get to see other Theklas in the wild, much less a cousin — nice to virtually "meet" you :)
I'm also descended from TPD, but through Irene (Lettie's sister, assuming that's your Jones). I think we're very lucky that prior generations + contemporary cousins of this family line have done so much research on it already and freely shared their findings.
