On 8/30/04 (6:19:31 AM MDT), in a posting to [email protected], Honor Conklin ([email protected]) asked, "Is there anyone doing research on Lewis (Louis) Vittrey of the Bronx area who was the second husband of Mehitable Betts in the mid to latter 1600s? I would like to have sources for information on him, especially his European origins and his occupation." Honor, this is just a guess, but possibly the Bronx County Historical Society might be of some help considering that the area that is now the Bronx (that then was part of Westchester County) had such a low population density, that any resident of the area would be easy to find in the records of that time (???): The Bronx County Historical Society 3309 Bainbridge Avenue New York, NY 10467 Tel: 718/881-8900 eMail: ????? http://www.bronxhistoricalsociety.org/index86.html Good luck.
