Dear Hazel, Pat and list, Just to confirm what everyone has been saying, Mary is more of a problem in this family than David. I have a total of 30 different Mary's in my data base. I have merged about six duplications and there may be more. I have three with a date of birth July 20, 1781 and no thread to tie them up. The Mary that m: James Meredith is not the same Mary, d/o Wm and Hannah Sanders.
