Also let me know if you need CARRILL from Hist. of Salem? Also if you want details on any of the sibs' families I can copy them too? Hope this helps. Children of Robert not carried down, sorry. Barb

I'm a TRASK descendant as well. I'll try to add some value to the discussion a little later in the weekend. But, I am also interested in the CARRILL information from the "History of Salem." Thank you! I appreciate it.
