Hi, Doug, I saved a note of yours from a while ago. In it you mention that there may be a connection to Lord Carteret, Admiral John Paul Jones and back into Dutch New Amsterdam. I finally found my connection to this family so I'm very excited to find out as much as I can. In your note you also mention a site that you know of that covers this family. I'd love to take a look. Do you have the url handy? I see you're in MD. I'm in NJ. I work in Parsippany and the Morris County Library is only 10 minutes from me. I can check out anything you'd like me to check on for this line. I'm still fairly new to researching but the people at the library are very helpful. Thanks Cousin! Chris Strube :)
