Hello again, cousins, Most importantly: THANKS for the information that everyone sent to me and directed me toward about all the Nicholases and Elizabeths. You all have both confirmed and corrected my preliminary findings. As I said I was confused about the three Nicholases, and now find I am not descended from Nicholas III after all, but it was his half-sister Elizabeth who married Nathaniel Haggard (who was himself the son of Elizabeth's aunt Elizabeth.) Thanks for clearing that up for me. Just like everyone else, I come up with further questions the more I find. Here are my latest ones: Is there more about Jane Brown, second spouse of Nicholas II? I've also seen it as Jane Brown Austill. Does this indicate a second marriage for her as well, and that her maiden name was indeed Brown? I also am lacking dates and sources for her. And "sources" is my second question. While waiting for some possible sources to arrive by snail-mail, I am currently wondering about the mysterious Lucy Cornelius. Where can we find sources and/or documentation of her dates and marriage to Nicholas I? I've seen other postings on this question, but must have missed seeing the answer. Thanks again, cousins. It sure would be nice if all branches of my tree responded as quickly and helpfully as the Gentrys. Now if I can just assimilate fast enough myself....(I've been told I'm getting older...)
