I still belong to DAR but I don't belong to Colonial Dames any longer. I established 10 or 11 lines in Col. Dames. Wow, 1971!!! That sure was a long time ago. Woops! Now I'm telling my age I'm not eligible, Ellen. There is a possibility with a southern ancestor, but I don't think anyone has proven him yet. It's my husband's family and he qualifies on ever so many lines. FRANCISCO, TAYLOR, SPENCER, WHITBREAD, ABRAHAM, WYNNE. One day my granddaughters may become interested, but it looks like maybe I'll have to wait for the great granddaughters. John HAMILTON moved to the same area as Enoch ABRAHAM. Enoch married Jean/Jane Hamilton, so there are two lines with the Am. Rev. ancestor, one from her father, one from her husband. Really, I didn't know too much what I was reading. Now I'm not sure where I put the envelope. I've gotten rid of a lot of "stuff" but there is still a lot of stuff here, that I'm putting in cubbyholes until that day....
