Are you related to the Shumways in the Blanding area?

If there are Mormons anywhere with that name, they are all from one prolific man.....my g-g-grandfather Charles and his 4 wives.

There are an estimated 30,000 descendants alive today.

My grandfather on Mom's side was a son of FW Cox which makes me and Stray cuzzies.

I dated a Walter C Shumway descendent. She used to bear her testimony to me over a cold beer.

I happen to have very large hands, a legacy from a long line of big marmun pricks.

I ask because I've been reading about artifact diggers/thieves/black marketers in the Four Corners area. One of the most notorious ones was Earl Shumway. They were able to jail him because of DNA left on a cigaret butt at one of the thousands of ruins he broke into. He's supposedly dead now, but as one BLM ranger said, "He's been dead before."

Ha ha!

And my relatives all think that I'm giving the shummies a bad name.

Dayum.

And here I thought all the grifters were on the Smith side of my family.
