Many many thanks to William (Bill) Atherton for offering to do some "lookups" for us. I don't have any Washington Co. books, so might ask him to do one for me. So far in my line I have only been able to go back to about 1804 when it was St. Clair Co. Thanks again William, Robert Middleton Robert J.
