Carole, The document you mentioned is a rather large book. I have a copy, and it is pretty thorough collection of Iams history. I'm descended from the Iams of Greene Co., the most recent one being Elizabeth Iams who married George Smith in Greene Co.in 1826. She was the daughter of Thomas Iams and Mary Jane (Polly) Smith of Greene Co. I would be interested in hearing from anyone descended from these Iams.
