The family makes Wikipedia

I was sharing some family with my sister tonight when I discovered that the branch that I can trace back the farthest (so far) has a Wikipedia entry. We descend from the LaRue line, via the Hodgen-Keith connection.

I do know of one error in the entry. Rebecca Hodgen Keith Thomas is listed as dying in 1845. She is found in the 1860 census for Ripley, Brown, Illinois, in the household of her son Charles Wintersmith Keith. She is enumerated as Reba Thomas. The young R. Keith in the next line is her granddaughter, my great-great-grandmother.
