I've not seen a copy of the article you mention but heard (have seen) parts of it. I'd be interested in the answer to your query. BTW, I don't have the maiden name of William's wife, Elizabeth. Can you enlighten me? Thanks Al Rose

Hi Al, I can only give you a name that needs to be proven. The name that I have is Elizabeth Wilkinson, but I have no documentation. For a source I have Nancy Mauro of Floridia. Her e-mail address is mauro@gte.net Perhaps she has a source. If she does, please let me know. In "A Tale of Old Newport" it only mentions the wife of each of the sons by given name. Best regards, Max
