Mr Jackson Day, Thank you for the good information. I will save it. I am "on the trail" of a Warman(Welman) connection to Bealls. Mary Warman a decendent of Ninian Beall m. John Watkins 1715. Well after looking at your files I am interested in the name "Verlinda". It is such an unusual name so I don't see it much. However I have a Verlinda ROBY b. 25Sept1760-11Aug1847 who m. 1783 Stephen WARMAN d. 1789. I believe she was the dau. of Thomas ROBY who d. aft 1783 and Dorothy who also d. aft. 1783. Does any of the above have any meaning to you? Thank you Beverly On Sun, 22 Feb 1998, MR JACKSON H DAY wrote: > Date: Sun, 22 Feb 1998 16:06:16, -0500 > From: MR JACKSON H DAY <TDHM26A@prodigy.com> > To: BEALL-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [BEALL-L] Thomas and Verlinda > Resent-Date: Sun, 22 Feb 1998 15:08:24 -0800 (PST) > Resent-From: BEALL-L@rootsweb.com > > -- [ From: Jackson H.
