Hi Kelly and Mark I know of two connections with the descendants of Rachel EATHER/John NORRIS - their daughter Rachael NORRIS married John COLBRAN. Their son, Thomas Henry COLBRAN married William Charles BAILEY who is a descendant of William BAKER (convict 1790 Neptune) and his life spouse, Mary Ann Raycroft - through their daughter Mary. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WilliamBaker-Neptune1790/ William Charles BAILEY was also a double descendant of Ann SMITH (sister of Joseph SMITH) - from two of her spouses - Thomas BAILEY and George TAYLOR - yep, Ann's grandchildren, Jane Cleaver and William BAILEY married. I have a lot of information on these two families.
