Thanks to all of you who responded to my request for help in deciphering faded pencil in a family Bible. Your responses were most helpful and overwhelming in their sheer volume. You are all very helpful people, and I appreciate the time all of you took in answering my question. --Debbie Cowman dlcowman@juno.com researching Allison, Babcock, Belknap, Carman, Cowman, Dodd, Gould, Litch, McNeil, Millican, Sweet, Veatch--for now (!)
