Hi Norma, the message must have been partially cut off by AOL, because I remember the prose part but not the descendancy? I hate using computers that are not mine, because I don't have access to files the way I do at home. Sorry if I have caused anyone more confusion!!

Mongtomery's parents Shirley, I assume you are referring to the long message posted by David Middleton Edelen, when you say in a message to Bill Howard that you haven't seen it. You replied to it, so I think you did see it. It had a great deal of prose at the beginning, then a descendant list for Peter, giving spouses, BMD dates for his children and other descendants. You mentioned birthdates of Francis and John Baptiste given in a Bible. What were those dates? Also, you mention Elisha I and Elisha II. Were those the persons David had born in 1743 and 1745? David shows a set of twins, Margaret and Elisha born 14 April 1743, both of whom died the same day. Then he shows another Elisha born 5 Apr 1745. David also showed Joseph and Mary born 12 Nov 1737 as Margaret's first born. Thank you for the information you have been posting. It is very useful!
