Sylvia, Thanks for the help with the number. I have a totally unrelated item for you. Sometime ago you sent me some information on Dr. Jonathan KING and his two daughters that married Barlow brothers., Jonathan King was mentioned as somewhat of a myth in the History of Barnard. Guess what? I found the inventory of the estate of Dr. Jonathan King who was residing in Barnard at the time of his death. He died intestate and the beginning date of the court record is 5 December 1787. This is all thanks to Darrell Martin the Windsor County list owner who found Dr. Jonathan King in an book that contains the index of Windsor County Probate. But it began with the information you sent me to encourage me to keep looking for him. I am so excited to have finally find my 5th great grandfather. Marla "Sylvia J.
