Now, I understand Sir Isaac left no issue, unless someone has a Winchester marrying Sir Isaac's nephew of something like that then I should probably exit this list tomorrow evening. Knowing my long shot was just that a long shot. Thanks again. Sincerely, Warren Winchester "Undocumented Genealogy is only Mythology"
