I was just wondering if maybe, just maybe this person might be somewhere in your tree? Regretably I don't have my paperwork right in front of me but from what I can remember... Maria Jane Clouse married a Thomas Lee somewhere in England. They immegrated from Whitby, Yorkshire, England I believe sometime after they were married. that might have been 1854. (again sorry I don't have the dates in front of me) And they apparently settled in Nebraska. They had eight children. Does this short story at all fit in your tree? Joandrea
