Dear Josie and listmembers, I have to be sure to clarify that when I said I had read that the Iroquois helped the Quakers in Upstate New York, this was more a query than a statement because I have no idea if it is true or where I read it. So take it with a grain of salt till we can find more evidence that it was actually a fact. I'll keep looking and post if I find anything to support the information. Sorry. Thanks for the kind words, Josie, and when I'm looking for stuff on Bedford, Co.VA, I'll keep an eye out for your Whitely's and Maynard's. Barb Temple
