I don't think I made it clear that there were two Erselius men, both born in Germany, both called Richard, though the younger was Richard Paul. Both came to England and lived in or near London, and both were basically gardeners. The older Richard died in England, but the younger ran off with the barmaid from the Cock and Ball, first back to Germany, then to Connecticut, followed by Pennsylvania. His widow died in Boston in 1948, but I don't know when Richard Paul Erselius died. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
