Mr. Clark: Your information on the Hampton/Stites/Manning/Fitz-Randolph connections was truly helpful to me, as lucky bystander in the rich NJROOTS dialogue stream. By odd chance, both my paternal and maternal ancestors include Stites sisters in the early 1700s, and Mannings and Fitz-Randolphs further down in the line. My question to you is this: Can you tell me more about the sources you cited, namely the publication information on: 1) "Woodruff Chronicles"; 2) "NYGBR"; 3) "Woodruffs of New Jersey"; 4)"[FAV CD]". Much Appreciated.
