HI Sarge, thanks for helping me understand the RACER/WILHITE/WILHOIT connection. I do have Paschal and Jonas and wives in my tree at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=rockracer1&id=I0603 but didn't go as far as wives' grandparents.

SUAM ?? (Old Frederick-Old Shenadoah German surname) Chocy

I have an 8 Family Origin Program if you need it. You may be sorry leaving Roots Magic.. They keep you fairly up to date. Email me. I would suggest you keep it in both computers. I haven't tried making a copy to see if it would work.

Thanks John, I wonder if he was in the area of PA where his son Adam was living. Don't we wish we could get a redo on all the early Church records -- and census and courthouse etc. Sadly today, there ware some who still do not see the value of all of "these old papers". I wonder what our descendants will find from our time. Motivates me to get something permanent created with all of my "old papers" because I sure don't plan on taking them to the grave with me -- many years from now, of course. Take care.

Sometimes it takes many clicks to finally get to the data. That said, I can find no data that Cassandra SHOWN descended from the SCHÖNE family. Different databases give her name as Cassandra and as Katherine. Any databases with either's pedigree show a Peter SHOWN, Jr., whose father was Peter SHAUN, Sr., and whose grandfather was Nicholas SHAUN, both from MD. It is interesting, though, that SHOWN and SCHONE/SCHÖNE would be pronounced the same in America, and it IS also possible that SCHÖNE could have been written by a clerk as SHAUN. Anyone know of a member of the Virginia SCHÖNE/SCHONE family ending up in MD around 1725?

In early KY records there was a Polly Wilhite listed on pre 1850 Census. From the Census it seems this Polly was head of the household. It is fairly unusual for the women to be listed. I printed the Census due to Tobias's name being on the Census also.

The two eldest sons of "Blind" John Yager, Moses and Aaron, were killed in the RW. Cathi Clore Frost located their records recently and should be talking at least a bit about them in her presentation at the Reunion on the Yagers. Also, "Blind" John is considered a Patriot by the DAR for assistance to the cause.
