    1. [SRY] Thanks for the CERONIOs...

    3. I won't sing like Bob Hope, "So, Thanks! for the CERONIOs..." but I will say thanks for the help. They are a fascination for me and married into my HICKS line. I have even written an online, six-part series on Stephen CERONIO and my searches for him and for his family. Sadly, it was at the tail-end of my searches that I realized he never got to leave Philadelphia! Just before he was due to go, he was caught in the horribly devastating Yellow Fever epidemic in the fall of 1793 in that "town." However, his descendants did travel overseas--namely two of his sons, and later his former wife (who apparently came to join her sons). Captain James CERONIO, apparently the oldest son, came to Feejee, New Zealand, Australia (where he met a woman and father two children by her), and India. He lived most of his life in India. Stephen's son Edward was also in India, but he doesn't seem to have lived more than about 25-30 years there before dying (this part is not yet certain). He may have married a Mary ?, who after his death moved to Middlesex County, England - that has yet to be proven, though the only CERONIO of the times did die there between July and September in 1857, having been born in a "British Colony." So I've mostly wrapped up that search and wished to express appreciation for all your assistance. Signing off, Vince Summers
