If I have posted, I found on google book search while search for relatives in Virginia. I know Early was a Donegal name as I have seen it in records I have. The source they gave was the Bulletin of the New York Public Library. Just go to google book search and put in the search Early and it will probably come up again. If I find it again myself, I will send the url. Janice In a message dated 9/11/2008 1:06:06 A.M.
