Sorry, Bill, but I don't have the author's name. That has been my downfall in all my years of researching. When I find something, I get so excited and engrossed in reading and copying that I sometimes forget to write down the author's name. The title actually does not include the word Amesbury. Yes, I am descended from Richard, son of George and Susanna. Or, at least I 'will be' when I can prove that David born in 1719 was the one who came to Biddeford about 1748. Many of us are working on it and we are 99% certain but lack that little bit of proof.. Rosemary
