Surnames: DERTHICK DETHICK SWAN SKINNER WELCH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DYB.2ACE/846.1 Message Board Post: I show your Elmira DERTHICK as Elvira instead of Elmira ? - and that she married Alanson SWAN and she died August 1866. Believe she was the sister of Julius. I show Elvira (or Elmira?) as d/o Ananias DERTHICK 1750-1827 (changed at some point from DETHICK) and his 2nd wife Tryphena SKINNER. My wife descends from Ananias and his 1st wife, Mary Ann WELCH. There is quite a bit on these Derthick/ Dethick families in a book by Spencer & Goodpasture -titled "Derthicks and Related Derricks". Elvira is mentioned on several pages in this book and will be glad to search more for her in the book if you write direct Email. - Allan Griffith - Bloomington, IL - alternate and presently preferred Email: magrif@gte.net
