    1. Re: Roll - Gideon Marsh attn: BILL
    2. Bill, Thanks for thinking of me and my Marsh line! It looks like you found a sister, Julia Anne, for me. At first I was confused by this, but now I'm excited! You see, the year that Julia Anne Marsh married Robert Cauldwell 1841, was the same year Eliakim Marsh had a daughter named Julia Ann Marsh (b. 1841). On Eliakim's death certificate it does say his father was Gideon. And in the census index, there is a Gideon Marsh that I've considered, and he was in Westfield at one point. This is falling into place nicely. Yes, I'd love to have those pages photocopied. :) Maybe I can find Julia Anne's line somewhere else! I have used Littel's book before and it is very good, but also has mistakes large and small. My cousins' Townley line is in there, and Littel has Matthias Townley christened in 1751 yet his supposed father was born 1760. Odd, that. I have the feeling that our family lines will bump again because I keep reading the same names over and over again in the greater Elizabeth, NJ, area. Robin Chalmers
