I am assisting with the research on Ann Ruckle trying to connect her back to the Ruckles of the Southwell estate. Here is what we know: One of my great-great grandmothers was > Ann Ruckle. I know nothing about her except she was the 5th wife of James > Hillis and the mother of my great grandmother Plezzie Hillis, born in 1857 > in Courtland or Delhi Ontario. Does anyone have further information? Crashmo is no longer AOL. At least the direct message came back. Fred H. Hayward (Embury, Philip)

Fred, According to my records, your line goes: Caspar, Sebastian, Daniel, George of Adare, Daniel, Ann. I'm descended from another of George of Adare's sons -- Michael. I notice that Ann's first cousin, Adam Glazier married Mary Hillis. Adam is the son of George of Adare's daughter, Ann and Henry Glazier. Henry and Ann Glazier are buried in Dereham, Ontario. Adam and Mary Glazier moved to Lapeer Co., MIchigan. I don't know how your James Hillis connects with Mary. Carole Richardson is still at AOL. The correct address is Crsashmo@aol.com. I hope that I've been of help...........Karen Opgenorth
