Who would know.  Only Mr. Hall would know for sure.  Haha.  (This is a repost...I completely misread your 'articles being feminine in nature' comment.)  Thanks for reading the thread.     

Yeah, I could have worded that better.

Mr. Fox’s Family must have had quite the happy surprise! I wonder how often that sort of mix up happened?
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Didn't hit them? Hopefully that guy worked on shot placement later in life.

Re: The guy who was hit by lightning while feeding the hogs.  I found a Wilson Lavengood at Find A Grave, but he would have been too old to have been hit by the lightning. He did however have a son named Daniel, and he was the one that got hit by the lightning.

How nice that you were able to reach across a gulf of 100 years to give remembrance to, for all intense and purposes, a forgotten, needle in a haystack.  This is what I like about the thread.  Very nice, Fish.
