Lea, I reread my posting and what I was thinking did not get into what I was typing. I said " . . . I can take this line back to Hugh Belcher . . .". What I MEANT or SHOULD HAVE SAID was, I have names that I can research to CONFIRM this line back to Hugh Belcher . . . I received a file from chapman @erols.com that showed this information: (Please note, I have NOT documented any of this, I always work backward, starting with the ancestor that I have already documented.) WILLIAM THOMAS BELCHER, b. 1615 in Warwickshire Co. Eng. as the son of HENRY BELCHER, b. 1575 in Warwickshire Co. Eng. Henry Belcher, b. 1575 son of WILLIAM BELCHER, b. 1534. William Belcher, b. 1534, son of EDMUND BELCHER, b. 1506. Edmund Belcher, b. 1506 in Guilbarough Eng. (Can't read my own writing, may be Guilborough Eng.) son of JOHN BELCHER, b. 1478. John Belcher, b. 1478 in Stafford Eng. son of HUGH BELCHER, b. 1450 Hugh Belcher, b. 1450; married Havis Belson, daughter of Thomas Belson. I just want to be as certain as possible, that my William C. Belcher is the son of the Moses Belcher shown in this lineage. Thought perhaps if I knew about his brothers, I might be able to find out something there. ANY help would be most appreciated. Judy Smith
