Bill, Thanks for your kind offer. I am a descendant of Abel's son Hezekiah and am not planning to document the Goodsells extensively. I do know (or think I know)) that Hannah's father was John and her mother was Abigail Chidsey. If you could give me vitals for Hannah and her parents, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Bob "James W.
