Bill.. Thank you for the info on the Chalfant and Stone families. I am sending a copy of your email to Lucinda Durbin, who, looks to be a 3X Granddaughter of Chadds, and will be eager to talk to you I'm sure. Also, I am sending a copy to our local (Mon Valley) mailing list, as I believe there may be others there who would be interested in your (and your Aunts) research. Thank you again, Mike Donaldson Cindy and List... Hope this additional info is helpful (see below) Mike.
