    3. Looking for anyone who may have a copy of this paper the date is Sept. 12th, 1907 I believe it is a weekly paper? It has the 50th anniversary of Sarah Etta Bray and George Wilson Ryder in this edition it states that the editor had found the connection to the presidency of Sarah’s great grandfather John Custis of VA, who married Hannah Hawes of Yarmouth, Barnstable MA on May 03, 1792 her parents are James and Rebecca Russell Hawes. It states he could not put the information in that edition. My copy of the one page is a very poor copy with many smudges. Smudged is also George’s connection to the G.A.R. The editor hopefully did a later account to his findings on the Custis line of VA. Maybe people who have Custis connections to any of the Custis line in Yarmouth may hold the key to this information. The transcriber in Yarmouth changed John’s last name by 1 letter when he married Hannah to and “R” yet his bans, death and grave in the ancient Yarmouth cemetery state his true name “Custis” not (Curtis) as does all the Custis line who are buried there. For all the people who can not find Deborah Custis parents who married November 07, 1844 in Yarmouth to Captain Henry Bray just look for Henry Custis who married Sally Young January 16, 1817 in Barnstable and you’ll have her parents. The only article that is clear is the one that states George and Sarah’s first born Wilson was the first birth ever listed in their paper. You’ll also find John Custis again not (Curtis) had a brother Thomas who also married a Hannah Hawes September 19, 1805 Yarmouth and her parents Ebenezer and Temperance Taylor Hawes. Deborah’s sister Louisa Custis who married Nathan T. Hallett hopefully someone has this information on our Custis lines. Any help on these articles would be most appreciated thank you Wanda of ME -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
