Well, wouldn't you know it. I had the paper in front of me yesterday but can't locate it this minute. My gggggrandfather James Garretson was married to her and I found in going thru yesterday's papers that her sister was Sarah, but don't remember who she was married to. Someone did email me some info on the Abrams from the New Castle Church records last year. It gives marriages as William Abraham & wife Maria had child, Joseph b 2/18/1716; Joseph married to Margaret Farrys 1744 and their children Mary, Agnes and Sara. Also marriages: David Lewis and Agnes Abrahams 9/9/1766; Joseph Garrison and Sara Abrams 1/1776 and my James and Mary Abrams 4/1770; Benjamin Rothwell adn Margret Abrams 1/1773. I am thinking that my James and Joseph are possible brothers, but the only information I have on James is his birthdate and who 3 of his children. He is my brickwall and any help would be appreicated. Linda Cathy Berger wrote: > I'm interested in your Mary Abrams. Do you have anything on her family?

I just learned that a lady that is going to publish a book on my relatives has info on the Abrams for several generations. I will wait for the book to come out next year and learn who those people were. If you would like info from that book, contact me in probably Feb. and I will let you know which Abrams were in the lineage. Linda Cathy Berger wrote: > I'm interested in your Mary Abrams.
