On another line I have, which is Elliott, there is someone thinking they are descended from the same ancestor, but the second generation is from the South and no where near where our person is. People just pick up names and claim - without doing enough research. This usually happens when there is something very favorable: Seldom do you see claims to descent when there is anything scandalous attached to the name!. It's fun though, and pleasant when someone like you has a good sense of humor. Nice to communicate with you.
