This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Betts, Lake, Gillette Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QFB.2ACE/1188.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Wilma, I messed up and sent an earlier reply straight to the list and not as a reply to you. Therefore, am again attempting to answer your message. My Betts line begins with Thomas S, Betts, b. England c.1808, married to Hannah Varney, also b. England. Married 1832 in Syracuse NY. Their children were Sarah Saul, Mary Betts, both married Hams brothers, who later lived in Barry Co. MI. Son Thomas S., my gg-grandfather, married Thresia Hunter Delavan, both b. Syracuse and buried in Barry Co. MI. I have not been able to trace younger daughter Abigail. Your names do not seem to relate to any I know of, but there are lots of Betts around. My g-grandparents had 15 children. If you are still interested, why don't you send me your E-mail address. Carol Kenyon
