Dear Alice, WELCOMEWELCOMEWELCOME!!! I, too, descend through Mastin, Richard, Elizabeth, etc. We have been accumulating several of the Mastin and/or Richard (he was rather prolific) descendents and are considering a "work-shop" type of get-together this summer in Hamilton Co. I am in the process of losing my mind, as my husband and I pack to leave our home of 28yrs in Wisc., to move to Ill. (Paris, Edgar Co.Ill), ironically about 2 hrs N. of Hamilton Co. We move 01/13 and I don't know when I'll be set up with a new service. Please keep in touch! I would LOVE your Wade info! I will be On-Line until the 12th. Thanks! Sandra Brandt 910 E.
