Doris, Duh I'm having a senior moment here. You meant that you are a decendent of the son Benjamin, right? If so you might find this post interesting: http://genforum.genealogy.com/harper/messages/931.html Sherry is also a decendent of Benjamin (the younger one), but I haven't heard from her in a few years.

Judy, That is right, actually it is my husband who is the descendent, and Sherry is his cousin. I have been doing this for his mother, she has been a fountain of information from her grandparents on down. You come from a large family if my information is correct, Thomas had a lot of children.
