Patti - Many thanks...it will take time to digest and enter it all. When I replied to your message I also sent one to Larry...and it was returned. I have just resent it - about an hour ago, as when I sent him a test message, he rec'd that one, and didn't realize he was having a problem receiving. I am also sending this to teh list, so if others need this info, they can get it, and this will include Larry. BTW, in what records did you find that Samuel had 3 wives, and that the 3rd was blind and an Indian? The Indian background has been pretty prominent through all lines, but have never had anything "in writing", or a name to go along with it.Since Susanna was his last wife, I would assume this be her, but I'm not sure. We know that at least one wife had to have been a YARNES or YEARNS, but don't know which one, and what her first name was. The name YEARNS was carried down through the family for generations, through both male and female lines. The YEARNS research is another whole can of worms. There are one or two lines which left NY and hit Ontario and PA, which hold possibilities to be connected to Sam's wife. I dropped working on it about 1 1/2 - 2 yrs ago, and haven't gone back. They are VERY elusive! I think I have mentioned to many of Sam's descendants that there was an Elizabeth COVEY who died in 1777, while living with other Royalists being housed at places like St Therese, Montreal, etc. This record was mentioned amongst records concerning other families who settled finally at Caldwell's Manor, so I find it pretty strong circumstance that a COVEY be mentioned. I think this is likely his first wife, and mother to at least Samuel Jr. Comments on this?
