Terra (or some alternate spellings) can be found in several databases at RootsWeb and elsewhere, going back at least 5 or 6 generations of her ancestors. = One of the family members told me she was related to Phoebe Apperson (mother of William Randolph Hearst). I found Phoebe's ancestors but I haven't come up with a connection between the two lines. = Any ideas? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
