Hi Linda...... I hope my copies of correspondence is not more than you intended. In addition to Fordyce Logan, Jr., do you have other resources that may be helpful to me? It appears Fordyce has not much more than I had and he, too, may be assuming some errant conclusions. Unfortunately, it was two centuries ago and people just don't record as much as we should. Are there independant family notes or recollections or other documented data available? Also, will it be possible for me to get a copy of your Stephan's) ascendent Barnett family?

Other have her name documented as Stapleton. But both with the father's name of William. Perhaps these are "your people". Linda Barnett
