Many thanks to all who responded to my question. It's been an interesting subject. I'm working with a friend who has info telling him his ancestor was born in Lakewood in 1756 -- clearly, there's some sort of problem with that as Lakewood didn't exist in 1756! <g> And while I'm here --- can anyone tell us why a fella residing in Mon. Co. would serve in the Revolution under Somerset Co. and further, is there some sort of source that would provide proof of him being in Somerset Co. at that time? Thank you everyone -- you're a GREAT bunch of folks -- Terri
