Henry[B] is son of Ben. Henry[H] is son of Henry and husband of Dorothy. I detached Henry/Margaret and Sam from Henry[H]/Dorothy and attached them to Henry[B]. But that meant I had to detach Henry/Susanna from Henry[B] and attach him to Henry[H]. So we now have Henry/Dorothy no longer childless. Josiah remains s/o Henry[B]. After I did that, things started to make much more sense. Now we need to take a time trip in history and remember when we had Josiah as a s/o Henry/Margaret. He bequeathed to his "mother" Jane Butler and I argued that this made no sense, since his mother was supposedly Margaret [wno everyone had now renamed as Margaret JANE BUTLER.] I argued that it was a serious niggly to have his father just months prior write his will naming her as Margaret and providing for her care, yet his son names her as Jane and again, provides for her care. There's such as thing as over-CARE :-) But I eventually assumed Josiah might have been referring to his mother-in-law Jane, even tho I wasn't really comfortable with that either. NOW attached as son of Henry[B] whose wife is unknown, it makes perfect sense. Henry[B]'s wife was JANE who married John Butler after Henry's death. Right now this is what I have....... Ben md Liz Greenhaugh .....1) Henry md Jane LNU who later md John Butler ..............1) Josiah md 1] unk Cheatham, 2] Anne Elizabeth LNU ..............2) Samuel ..............3) Henry Jr md Margaret LNU Henry md Anne Lound ......1) Henry Jr md Dorothy Hardaway ..............1) Henry III md Susanna Williamson I'm still working on the timeline and have many recs up in the air as far as which Henry they belong to. I'm still not positive I have Henry/Marg and Henry/Sue attached to the right parents......... Moving right along...........!! Nel
