Boice & Sue, Your folks who migrated from VA to IL are interesting, however let me explain our fair-to-middlin' JAMES database. For other than our own line, it is overwhelmingly pre-1800. That is, if you have more on your Southampton Co folks, we may (or may not, of course) be able to help. The potential value to you is that even if there isn't a match right now --- there may be later, and then we'd get back to you, if you can provide enough data [names, dates, locations] to permit reasonable ease of identification if/when some distant cousin might emerge. You decide. Sue's Uncle, Keith (Forwarded by Sue James Lloyd, The Woodlands, TX)
