I have a copy of an old letter written by J Meek White - has to be this same person as the children's names and their whereabouts are listed and the names are the same. Would love to send copy of letter to anyone needing more info on this person. This letter was found in my own grandparents' family trunk - Tee Duke "Boo" and Willie Nellie Salmon of Brighton, TN
