The Aunts always said she was a cousin, but never wrote down how. Do you have that info on her so that you could send it to me?? I haven't had a chance to look for it yet, as I am trying to piece together my husband's French Canadian background. There must be a lateral to my Rufus family somehow. Would be delighted to know how. Also, the Edward name has recently surfaced. Do you know the source of that? Is Edward the brother of Rufus and William? among others? Hope you can oblige. Thanks very much, Betsey B. >> I'm sorry, but i think you have me confused with someone else. i am a barton...but my name's not dorothy. i haven't researched my tree as much as you seem to have...sorry that i can be of no help. this mail was probably supposed to go to someone else, yet i don't know how i ended up with it. sorry again.
