Hi Ethel Thought you might be interested in this chat session although not sure what time that would be for you. Maybe you belong to this newsgroup already. Guess I told you I was already writing to the last Kennison emailer -TPTHOMAS- although each of 3 times he contacted me this year it was as if the first time. In the last one he gave me info about Nancy Kennison-Sylvester Bell's family but not sure about the entry for Justus -- " I don't have anything on the ancestors of Samuel Bell and Nancy Kennison, but I do have info on some of their children. This comes from Neil Broadhurst's "Births & Baptisms" book. Julia Ann Bell, oldest daughter of Samuel Bell & Nancy Kennison was born in Shefford on 8-15-1829 and baptized 11-12-1848. Laura Diana Bell, 2nd daughter of Samuel Bell and Nancy Kennison was born in Shefford on 9-14-1831 and baptized 11-12-1848. Justus Bell, aged 34, son of Samuel Bell and ..........., maiden name Ketzeback, was baptized 9-14-1872. If I find any more on Samuel and Nancy K., I will let you know. And I will check your web site. Regards - Harold" Somehow the more progress I make on this line the less I'm sure of. Just when I think I have some real information it turns out to cloud the issues instead. So what's the Samuel + Justus Bell connection with a Ketchback? Maybe she was a witness and could have gotten names mixed up. Anyway thanks for passing along his name. He does seem to be very interested and may be able to find some connections - assuming of course that has a super sharp mind and flawless memory like us spring chickens. I'm still curious about Henry Kenaston saying that he has siblings for Nancy but never answering my inquiries after that. And then finding on Ancestry.com that his Kennison's don't add up- if you go to her parents (Josiah?) or to siblings and then back to her she has a different family. Its very weird - not sure how this could happen. Do you think you could ask him if he as a Nancy Kennison and about her family? His said b 1803 dau of Samuel Bell same as my records. hkenaston@hitter.net (Henry Kenaston) Well since Zini's in the shower maybe there's a chance of our going out. Have spent some time trying to figure out what to do about my cataract and looks like I'll have it done Thanksgiving week as recovery is short. Then I will be so happy to finally have all this medical stuff behind me and be healthy the rest of my life. It sure has consumed far too much of my attentions this year and is a real nuisance and distraction. What a horrible situation with the election. Sounds like it could go on for some time. Have a good weekend.
