hi Joanne, I probably should have clarified that statement to provide two reference points one to Lady CHarlotte and the other to Robert E. Lee. I also show BL and Charlotte with 7 children and will check where I got that. I am clear that the ancestry as shown by the reference that I have has errors in it, not just errors in the Calvert appendix for my line. But the way the author presents it is using mostly Nicklin stuff so it is unverified by me until I get there. But this tree is what got me more for Thomas and his son Thomas C by knowing where to look. The general thread is tenuous at best as it is because directly in the ancestry is Cecilius(2) but then of course Benedict Leonard. There are indications that this could really have been part of the Alias Harrison mess--I haven't ruled it out. all I can say is starting with Thomas I have documents, references in books family records and Census data. Starting with Thomas C, add Court Records, Land Deeds and Starting with Albert, records, death obits, marriage licenses, cemetery locations, land deeds and so on. Working backwards from Thomas C. So, I am working backwards from Thomas C. Gathering data, records and sources and working on finding THomas and his father Isaac right now. But that is a large step from what I knew in December. Isaac b1735 m Frances "fanny" Bullitt or possibly Bullock boulet boylett my Thomas(1) b1769-84? m Anna Ewing (have some records onward Thomas C b1803 m 1820 (Clare) m Elizabeth Johnson Albert Gallatin b 1830 m Mary A "Polly" Cain John Ewing b1856 m Martha Lemasters Arthur Clay b1876 m (3 or 4) Amanda Sylvesta Rose Arthur, my grandfather. dai
