Sammie, I'm sorry to be so long in replying to your message. I was hoping that someone else would jump in with some answers to your questions. I'm not a descendant of this line, so I'm not sure how accurate my information is. I have no death date for Mary Sifford, but assume that she died before Samuel married Maria Roseboom. My notes assign all of Samuel's children to his second marriage. I don't have even a guess about your other questions, although they point to some good research projects :) Have you been in touch with Pat Sorenson about this line? > -----Original Message----- > From: Max & Sammie Leap [mailto:thewoods@yuba1.yubacoe.k12.ca.us] > Sent: Thursday, March 26, 1998 10:44 PM > To: Justin C.S.
