My list is long, as it contains not only direct line ancestors but "side lines" as well: PARSONS, SIMMONS, DUNCAN, OGIER, BENNINGTON, PIGMAN, DAVIS, HOUSEAL, MC CONNELL, ARMBRIGHT, PAXTON, KAUFFMAN The first five surnames are direct line, the rest are "side lines". Hope someone can help, especially with the PARSONS line which eventually goes back to Pennsylvania. By the way, my uncle Laird Parsons married Nita KEMP. Any connection with yours, Michelle? I also have a Caroline JOACHIM (or JOACHAM or possibly VERGLER) who married my gg grandfather, Joel C. PARSONS. They settled in Wapello, Louisa, IA in the early 1840's. Does this JOACHIM name sound familiar to anyone. Could really use some help with this one. This is a great idea, Connie. I am sending this with a prayer in my heart that the flood gates will finally open on the Parsons lines. I have lots to share on the DUNCAN, OGIER, SIMMONS lines. 8-) Willa Parsons Griffin Spokane, Washington
