What is your relationship to Jonathan. He is my great grandfather. He also has a great great granddaughter who is on this list as well. We are both from the George Johnson/Susan Seazholtz line. She and I have both worked on this. Since she lives in the area. She has a located a lot of materials and done the in the area research. This evening when I get home from work I'll put together the dates for you. Sarah was Sarah Yahn, daughter of George Yahn and Elizabeth Oberholtzer. Jonathan's father was Joseph Seasholtz and his mother was Susan Latshaw. Gary -- Gary D. Johnson Richmond, VA gjohnson@i2020.net or gjohn1@juno.com
