Garry, Thank you so much for the info on Malinda MUSIC and Simon Peter FELTY. Here is the info I have on Malinda's origin. I know alot of research has been done on the MUSIC/MUSICK families of Virginia. I would love to be able to connect this James to the right MUSIC family, as I suspect the research has been done on his line. The FELTY info you gave me is included here. I thank you again for your help. Rebecca Weigold Newport, KY IF ANYONE HAS ANY FURTHER INFO ON THE FAMILIES BELOW, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
