Thanks to those of you who took time to send kind words and fill me in on this list. I'm on several other lists and they are strictly genealogy, so I was surprised by this one. It's nice you have such camaraderie. I had noticed the different spellings of Marilynn, Marilyn, Marylin (mine). I was named after a grandmother Mary and mother just added on the lin. My greatgrandmother was Clarissa Armstrong Bedunah born 16 Jun 1959 in Stueben Co. NY and died 30 Jan 1927 in Otsego, Allegan Co MI of a cerebral hemorage. She married Moses Bedunah 6 Jun 1883 in Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo Co. MI. They had 7 children, my grandmother, Julia Ann, being one of them. I have some pictures of Clarissa and also of her gravestone if anyone is interested in them. Her parents were James William Armstrong b 19 Apr 1917 in Yates Co NY and Teressa Louise Decker b 2 Aug 1823 in NY. James' parents were Isaac Armstrong b 1778 in NY and Roxalana Hovey b 7 Sept 1788 in Norwich VT. That's as far back as I go. If anyone is connected with any of these people, I'd be glad to hear from you. Just a couple months ago, I came into contact with three Armstrong relatives, so I've amassed quite a bit of information but haven't had time to really delve into it and all it means. Thanks for reading. Marylin
