Dear Cousins on the List; Please join with me to hold our Cousin Kay Comin's husband Bob in your thoughts and prayers as he faces some troubling recurring symptoms that may be related to a previous tumor and stroke. The causes are unknown, and of course, fearful. Our love and best wishes go to Kay and Bob and their family. Family, connection and the concentration of love and good will are positive and beneficial in every circumstance and we hope that spirit of family concern will radiate around Bob and Kay as they face these new health problems. I have just received a great gift from Bill Trott in the form of information from the book, "James Start of Stafford COunty Virginia and his descendants," by Mary Kathryn Harris and Mary Iva Jean Jorgensen. St. Patrick's Day is full upon us, a big deal here in Morrow County, Oregon, and I have not looked this over in detail, but the previous information Bill shared with the list indicates this will be very helpful as we track and reclaim families from the Philadelphia Perimeter. THANKS BILL! More on this the first of the week, but already I believe the Grays are ones who are mentioned in early Cecil County records, where the Penningtons originated. The Williams are undoubtedly connected, and one of my Williams families had both Jeremiahs and Josephs, sooooo I feel this will provide some excellent clues for the Northern Virginia families of the Potomac Perimeter, and especially many of those who ventured into SC and TN. MORE thanks, Bill! Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn Carolyn McDaniel cmacdee@centurytel.net ========================================= --- Visit American Crossroads --- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads --- Visit Backcountry Crossroads --- http://www.backcountrycrossroads.com
