Ann,, that was lovely thank you. Even if it doesn't work for the Halls it was great to read. I was listening to bagpipe music at the same time while reading!! There were two other Wellcox, Willcox families in Chester Co in the same time frame and I see in Jo White Linn's Tax List book there were several in Rowan. I will have to track them down. Thanks again, GerriAnn GerriAnn Lockman [email protected] Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.
