Yes, I am the researcher Judy hired and I also have a pile of inputs for the Laymans about 6 inches high. Whittling away at that as time permits and continuing to add info I find locally as well - more confirmation of info rather than a whole lot new. Now, bear with me because I still can't find the fit - who are William's parents - is it Ephraim and Elisabeth Deyo Layman?

Sylvia, this is what I have - part of it I received from Judy Morgan. Beginning with William and Emma (my gr-gr-grandparents), I added from Grandma and Mom's statements, plus my own knowledge. The ironic thing about all this is that we never knew Grandpa William Layman had any siblings. Once we connected, I found out that MY branch was the elusive one!!
