I have been working on their history for a long time, and although I have never been able to go further back than John & Elizabeth, I have managed to fill in some of the detail. Your Joseph has always been interesting, as he married three times, and the records are very inconsistent about his place of birth. I would be very glad to share information, and look forward to hearing from you. Susan Sherman Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
