Ste. Arc, I keep hearing about the Marmaduke name. It sound familiar. Not wanting to show my ingorance, which requires an extreme amount of effort on my part everyday. (which reminds me, James, did you notice how I misspelled "astronomy" in my message? Dumb!) Anyway, I'm drifting here. Who were the Marmadukes? It would be helpful to all of us from this line to know who Jacob really married.
