The name John could have been our bridgets brother being she named a son John, wishful thinking Something is off with these names or last names, for instance my mom back in the 30's changed her middle name to her first name I just found this out after all these years, back then I guess you could change things. Also at childbirth at times if they could not afford to keep the child they would give the child to a relative. So the cousin could may have been someones sister or brother. I will do some more checking, are you in PA Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
