Well, this is really going make me do some backtracking. Thanks for the article. Do you think it possible that Elias' wife Malinda was married twice? I have her as the wife of Roger Parrish too. Roger had 4 wives we think (still documenting this). Do you by chance have the names of the other children of Elias and Malinda? I may be deleting a lot of names out of my data base. Ann Robbins
