Connie: Thank you for your efforts. Did you send this to Deb Gunther? I will forward it anyways. You and I are related through Thomas Killam (named spelling changed to Killam when he moved to Boxford, MA). Do I have a story for you. The long and the short of it is I found the old and almost forgotten Killam/Chase Cemetery in Boxford on the former land of the farm that Thomas bought from Zereberal Endicott, grandson of Colonial Governor of Massachusetts, in 1701. I have info up to my elbows (almost swore) on Thomas. This line is hard to find others who are researching it. That is one of the smaller reasons I am writing my book on the family. Thomas served in Major Appleton's Company during the King Phillips Wars, you will see his named spelled Kyllam. I will probably have to call you to relate all the info I have, it is to much to write. I am off to Florida for three weeks on June 13th, so we will have to share findings either before or after then.
