(She was killed instread.) I suspect that Queen Isabella in the late 1400's would have had a difficult time getting to Farrandsville since there was no European presence in Pennsylvania at that time. Is there another Queen Isabella, other than the one known to Christopher Columbus? -- Carol Courter Updegraff PO Box 222 Glennallen AK 99588-0222 cupdegraff@cvinternet.net
