Marla Fair - [email protected] For anyone interested in these lines or in the city of Middleton, I have made contact with several lovely people in England and have jpgs of the city, important places in it and of the tomb of Hugh OLDHAM, from whom I descend. He worked for Henry VIII and was quite influential at the time. The tomb is elaborate and beautiful. I will send the photos to anyone interested. I also have information on this OLDHAM line back into the 1400's thanks to David OLDHAM, a lovely man who has helped me much. I have info on the BLACKMORES to, if anyone connects, again thanks to another lovely man from Devon named Roy. Marla Fair in Troy, OH researching: OSBORN/KNOKE/HUNTER in Putnam Co.
