Hello Virginia, Well, it seems like our lines are getting into a tangle of connected names, Oxford, Berryhill, Barnett, Spratt. Costen. One name leads to another and another that all twist around and find themselves bringing in the sheaves so to say. Well Since the names Berry etc are also connected to the Oxfords etc. I am glad I contacted you looking for the source of Berry Berry hill etc. I just today got about 60 pages of Barnett gen taking my Barnett's from 1066 (time of William the Conquer) in England to Scotland to Londonderry Ire to Pa in America 1731. From there to N C Meckleburg Co to York Co and other places in S C etc. The Spratt's ( Sprott) sometimes spelled, came with William Barnett's, ( parents and 3 sons ) , from Ire abt 1731 as the Thomas, was born on way here to Pa from Londonderry Ire. I will have to copy these pages as the Spratt's are there etc. I haven't had time only to glance but not digest it all yet. Now to find where the Oxford's come in with the Berryhill and Berry comes from that in N C. The Oxfords were in N C coming from England. and also in with the Catawba's as the Spratt's. Boy is this one for the books to figure out. I wonder what some of the other Oxford's are going to have to add to all this. Maybe there are some out there that can add to these mixup of names. I will have to get what you have and send it to Jim and Linda and get it all together to see what gives here. How about it cousin's, do any of you have connections to these names? I will need to know how many copies I'll need to make and all your addresses for a copy if you want to check this out. I will have to put into my Gen program as soon as possible so a chart can be printed out. I have from my William , son of Thomas and the Spratt and on down to add. Then my Barnett comes into the Samuel Lane line in Grayson, Co Tx. There are Oxford's in Tx also. I have what you want with the Spratt's i think Virginia. Glad your feeling better. I just got the patch and stitches out of my eyelid operation today. Will have the other eyelid done on 15th and by 2000 I should hopefully be able to drive my car once more. Send me your addresses. and lines with these names soon. Virginia, I live in western Wash. between Tacoma and Olympia. Maxine Baldwin P O Box 177, Roy Wa 98580 [email protected]
