I had Elizabeth Kersey at first, looked on rootsweb, several people had her name as Elizabeth Barwick Kersey. It should have been entered in notes, of their research. I entered in the wrong place. Maybe someone can help us with the correct name for her. Sorry for my error in posting to my file, which I passed on to others.
