Hi Pauline, Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I do have a copy of the NEHGR series. One of my biggest stonewalls is trying to prove or disprove that an additional child of Lois and William was the Rev. War vet William Gifford (1754-1758 - Aug 15, 1846) that followed his children to Erie Pa. Enos Peck Gifford (b. 1791-1881) was a son of William Gifford (1754-1758 - Aug 15, 1846).
