Hi, I noticed your edits to the article on Hawthorne. Judging by your user name I thought that you might be the owner. I (Jeff Reed) grew in Marengo County, near Vineland, and also have family around Gallion (the Cox family over near the old Alfred Hatch Plantation at Arcola) and Faunsdale (Ballard family) also. I was wondering (if you are the owner or a relative of the owner) if I might be able to visit some time to take a few pictures. I live in Mobile now, but get back up that way to visit my family every chance that I get. You can email me at altairisfar@gmail.com if you would like. I cobbled together the article from info found in the books Silent in the Land and the Heritage of Marengo County, I'm sorry if I got some of it wrong. Iwould love the opportunity to just see the exterior of the house, its so rare to find an Italianate plantation house. Thanks.  Altairisfar talk  01:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
