Donna - well, when I get home I'll look into my reference material. One of my maternal lines (Martindale) also married into the BUCKMANs, so I may have something to contribute there. We'll see. And some of the other surnames also ring bells in the back of my head. I'll write back when I have something more definitive. Thanx for the reply; most helpful.
