In Reply to: HENRY B son of James W Barnwell Distr SC <642.html> by Sharon of 1115

One correction I need to make. Henry B. Overstreet is the son of James Overstreet (not James W.) and first wife, Elizabeth "Eliza" Bowen. The source I had from the Overstreet newsletters has him listed as James W. Overstreet. I thought I had another source with the middle initial "W." but after double checking my sources again, I did not find it.
