Well, I just didn't look hard enough. I overlooked James and Mary on my sorted page list of families (http://www.angelfire.com/ar/pyeatt/pglstsorted.html) and then when I went to my researcher family lines page - I didn't have a link to James's page from there. But, I have now located what I have on James and Mary (http://www.angelfire.com/ar/pyeatt/JamesP.html) probably most of it pirated from Laverne off the list : ) But, still lack a list of descendants, etc. for Benjamin and source documents if anyone has abstracts.
