Thank you Sherry for catching my spelling error. You asked: >Am I correct in understanding that Joseph the surveyor was Jotham's brother? Yes, according to the J.C. Hartman article in the NEGHR which has Joseph on pg.234 and Jotham on pg. 236. I should add this article and page for reference. One thing I truly missed out on was last summers get together and looking into the Histories of the various towns in the area. I should also have referenced "History of the Town of Antigonish", by 3391. D.G.Whidden. The number '3391' is his lineage from Jotham, thru Jotham's 3rd child, Elizabeth, then her 3rd child, Harriett, then her 9th child, Charles B., and his 1st child was D.G. Whidden. -- Rannie
