I have good news and bad news: I recently spoke with Elizabeth White regarding the next volume-- of the Desc.'s of John Howland through his daughter, Hope Howland Chipman. The bad news is that it will not be complete in 2002. It seems that desc's keep popping up and the volume is now over 1000 pages! Rather than publish it without these new lines, Mrs. White wants the book as complete as possible. I agree, better to take a bit more time and include more descendants. So, good news--more descendants are being proven. Also, vol. 4, those through Howland's daughter Elizabeth, is almost complete, so there will not be much time between the two. I cannot give out Mrs. White's phone number or address, so please do not ask. Thank you. Gail Adams Editor of the Howland Quarterly
