I have a couple of question for anyone: According to McKenzie , Ann Smith Sherwood who died in 1843 is buried with her two sons and daughter-in-law in the cemetery of St John's Church, Crestwood. Where was St John''s and Crestwood and what denomination was St John's at that time?? Secondly, d.i.l. was named Surbraney . That is a first name with no maiden name given. I have never heard of the name and hope someone can shed some light as to what nationality she might have been .....or possibly it was a family surname given to her as a first name. Thanks, Maureen In the depth of Winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible Summer. Camus
