Sereatha married Joseph Nickerson and they had my grandfather James Marshall Nickerson, who had my mother Hilda. Sounds like we are related. My great grandmother on my mother's side was Sarah Ann Sears. Sarah and Seretha were first cousins. I don't know who Sarah's parents were. Linda in Massachusetts.
