I would like to know your sources for the children you list. I have tried for years to connect children to William Compton without any luck. By the way, in case you aren't aware of it, Rachel Compton married Daniel Wilson sometime after William's death. Doug Corbin dcorbin@dialnet.net ---- Original Message ----- From: Mary L.
