Amy, I am mailing you the copy of the TAG article that documents the facts and dispels the myths of the Clement/Edward/James story. Edward was NOT brother to Clement and James as we thought for many years. The article I'm sending you will show the true lineages of Edward Bate & Susanna Putnam as well as show what does and doesn't check out in the records. Watch your mailbox.
