Fleetwood: This makes sense---thanks! It still makes Lucy a first cousin to James---through Charles and Elijah, sons of James, b. 1703. I cannot PROVE that James (b. 1703) was a Rev. War Soldier, but it is published in a book that he went to War with his grandson, James Wimbish (this, I know, does not make it so!) I cannot find my copy of this statement, nor the name of the book. I'll quote it exactly and give the source when I find it. Bill, of Fairport, NY and Clara are looking into this also. TTYL Felicia -----Original Message----- From: Fleetwood M.
