Nancee, I am inclined to agree with you. I have never heard of the Wakefield book that Sherry Mazzetti is referring too, however most of her Wakefields, and mine, are the same. They originated (as far back as traced) to NC, SC, and GA. I have ancestors from two different Wakefield families, whom I believe to be related, but it is not been established, just seems very obvious. The joy, and spark, of research is new blood. I recently had mail exchange with a wonderful, and determined new researcher, working on both Crocker and Wakefield lines. She not only established the identity of my Arthur Crocker's brothers, and a sister, but also solved the mystery of "Aunt Betsy Riddle," who was born a Wakefield. Dori
