Hi RAILSELLER -- Thanks very much indeed. This information is quite helpful in piecing the puzzle together. The biography mentions the first daughter and first child of L.D. Sherrow: "Sarah, July 17,1834; widow of Jacob Weaver, of this county." Would there happen to be any information on this couple and their families somewhere else in the records, since they are "of this county". > For the record, L.D. (Lorenzo Dow) Sherrow and Mary Elizabeth Hammersly Sherrow > are great, great paternal grandparents to my wife and therefore Sarah and Jacob > are great grandparents. Is anyone else on the list connected to this family ofr line? I'd be delighted to hear. Warmest regards, Carl Smarling
