Is anyone researching the sisters DESIRE and ANNA DOWNING who married into the HAKES line in NY during the late 1700's? (1776 through 1778) Desire and Anna were daughters of HENRY DOWNING of Stonington, Ct. There is also a family of Downings in Delaware County, Oh. that settled there during the same time period as my G/G/G Grandfather Nathan Hakes. Are these related? Esther
