They are from the same family tree but I don't remember exactly how they were related. I have to find that tree on the Net again and put it in my genealogy program. I have subsequently found out a great deal about Barbara. She was born in Hampshire Co., VA (now W.VA) about 1796; married (1)Robert McLaughlin in Madison Co., OH in 1815 and (2) Henry Coleman in 1831 in Fayette Co., OH; and died in 1879 in IN. I'm descended from Robert McLaughlin. If you run across any McLaughlins from that time period in your wanderings, I'd sure like to hear about them. They're proving to be very elusive. Carol
