Carole, I noticed in your list of surnames, the name MACK. My ancestor, Joel FOX, possibly married a woman with this surname. Her name was Elathene or Alethia or something similar. Wondering if you have any possible matches from your family. They had at least 2 sons, Henry and Gustavus, born in 1806 and 1810 around Saybrook.
