Hi - I've been in contact with a number of my cousins for a while now (Laurie Spandorf, Pat Swift, and others). Randy saw an old msg I had left on the lsit some time back. I have the trees back to Jeremiah and I've noted that several cousins are 'working' on the connections bet. Jeremiah and others. I have an unexplained notation in an old family album that Jeremiah was somehow related to Zachariah (unk which) but such a notation proves nothing. Thank you very much for your couteous response. As you say, undoubtedly we are related but..... Take care and thank you again. Walter L Dutton Richard A. & Jean C.
