Family Tree - Mother's Line; Seeking Information on Old Family Addresses

    One of the purposes of this blog is to make contact with members of my extended family tree.  In this post, I wish to invite contact from any descendants of  Andreas Peterson Longacre (1657-1718),  James Alexander (about 1770-1851),   Henry Seaton (1684-1719), and Clement Bertossa (b. 1833) or his son, Clement F. Bertossa (about 1856-1948)
     Here is a  member of the family tree that may be of some interest:

     My great-grandfather Thomas. B. Seaton's first wife's uncle was 1st Cpl. Riley Alexander, Co. F. 16th  Alabama REGT. Infantry, killed at Chickamauga.  Here is a link to more information than I ever wanted to know about that Civil War battle:  http://www.civilwarhome.com/chickama.htm

     The following addresses, over 25 years old,  are of distant relatives, most likely all departed.  I am seeking any information on them and their ancestors and descendants.   E-mail me at  rfsamt@gmail.com.
