Hello Cousins, Would it be safe to say this? Ambrose made a deed leaving land to his son Thomas. There is no mentioning wife or other kids. Could be assume that there are no kids other than Thomas and assume that wife passed before deed was made in Sept. 2, 1658? Thoughts, comments welcome, Robin ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
