CJK: I'm beginning to wish I had never started with the Axson line. I have Samuel and Elizabeth You m. March 1, 1787 and one child, Elizabeth, b. 1790. Also two other sons, Edward and John of undated births. I have their? son, Jacob, b. May 27, 1795, a month after Samuel's marriage to Mary Ann in April, 1795. ??? OK, so if Jacob was the son of Mary Ann, he would have been born just a month after her marriage to Samuel. If Elizabeth You and Samuel m. Dec. 2, 1800, were Elizabeth (b. 1790) and Jacob (b. 1795) the children of Mary Ann, or who? Help, anyone? I will post my Girardeau line in a separate message. Edward
