Thanks to Larry Kistner for his on-going work on this family. Somehow I had disconnected Mariah Bailey and David Greathouse from the main family. Thankfully, my back-up showed me where I went wrong, and that is now corrected. Deleted Virgil A. Greathouse, son of Rachel Walser. Census, obituary, and other data show this child was clearly in error. We already moved Virgil to what is now the Herman Groethausen family, and left this one while we made certain there was not a second Virgil A. Greathouse before deleting completely.

Orphans information for the Vernon George Greathouse family has been moved to Solomon Greathouse and Catherine Little.

In the Herman Groethausen family, we have new information on Ida Greathouse. Also, James Muncey and Elizabeth were in orphans as well as in Herman Groethausen, and we have incorporated notes and other information into the Herman file and deleted them from the Orphans.

12 Apr 2008	We have updated information for Mary Elizabeth Vandal married to William Anderson Greathouse and their descendants. There is compelling evidence that Mary Elizabeth Vandal/Vandale was married to William Anderson Greathouse in our John Greathoue and Sarah McDade family, not to William Asa Greathouse, as previously thought in our John Greathouse and Catharina family. Patti Lalack Hutterli contributed much of this family's information and has provided convincing evidence that this is the correct connection for Mary Elizabeth Vandale to the Greathouse family.

Areas with the most new information include descendants of: Tilghman Howard Aley, Samuel B. Greathouse, Freddy Younger Greathouse, Cleveland Greathouse and Charley Lee Greathouse. Thanks to Marvetta Springs Childs, Sandy Faler, Patty Hutterli, Melba Magnus, and Larry Kistner. We have also removed the Leroy Pennington line from John and Catharina as we have now determined that this family belongs in the John Greathouse of Virginia and Elizabeth family.
