I did not mean to impose on you; if I did, I apologize. I did some Norwegian research for my own family years ago, and their christening records often list the name of the mother too, so I was curious about Esther and James Hilton's father William's wife. Interesting that the name Eleanor (from Nicholson?) repeats in James' daughter. William's first child Mary was baptised in September 1778, so that timing seems to fit also. If I should find that the family arrived in the US before Isabelle's supposed birth date, I will let you know. As you said earlier, that was a patron entry and subject to error. I'd appreciate your keeping me in mind for future info, even if it is years from now. I will list my e-mail without the @ (at) sign to prevent junk mail. You can contact me directly if you'd like. ballykindlar(at)hotmail.com. Thank you again, Lynn. Susan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
