We are certainly looking at the same Pleasant Adams and Ruthie Sutherland, so the estimated birth date I had for Pleasant of "about 1730" must be incorrect. Do you have birth dates for Pleasant and William? I only showed that Pleasant and Ruthie had four children: William (who died in infancy from a cat scratch), Lucinda, Hannah (born 1/22/1813 and died 7/1890), and Rebecca (born 2/22/1820). Therefore, they must have married by 1810. My records show that Rebecca's second husband was Henry English and that they had 6 children. Her third husband, James Garner, and she had 3 children. By then my records appear accurate. It is the earlier generations that interest me. If you can provide more information about Pleasant, William and their parents, Richard Adams and Susannah Dawson, I would appreciate it. In any case, it appears that we are distant cousins. Thank you. Jim Hogrefe Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
