Hi, I have been away from my computer and the list for a while and would like to repost my line in hopes that someone might recognize my ancestors as being part of their family tree. I am including only 3 generations beginning with the oldest and going through my gr-gr-grandparents, David and Elizabeth Massengill Cosby. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
