Yes, please.

To quote from the section on John Quarterman Sr.:

 ``Liberty County, Georgia, families married and intermarried so many
   times and names were repeated so often in one generation after another
   that it is almost impossible to untangle the names, dates and generations
   with accuracy.  An effort has been made to report as correctly as possible
   the various family connections, but with full knowledge that there are
   many errors.''

We have copies of it.  It's a fascinating book, although also probably not
completely accurate.

>  Is this where you want corrections & additions?

Yes, please.
