Kathy: I felt a slight leap in the heart at the sight of Elizabeth Jones Barr, daughter of Moses Jones but I believe your dates are earlier than mine. Let's don't give up. Moses may have had a son Moses that married my Isabel. You never know!!!

Dear Ruth, I don't think Moses had a son Moses. In fact, I know that he did not. :( I still want to write with you and I will send the names of Moses' children next time I correspond.
