To the family of Mary Jane Pritchard:
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I am a third cousin to Mary--which means we have the same great great grandparents---James R. Isaacs and Rutha Cook. James & Rutha are buried in the old Isaacs family cemetery in Thompsonville, Illinois. I am doing genealogy on the Isaacs family and would welcome contact from any cousins.
Sincerely,
Julia ([email protected])
