Hi Joy, Thanks a lot for these. The weird part is, I have RAE's by the name of John, his brother James, a few Williams, an Andrew son of John, etc. but can't tell if these are them yet. I'll keep them in my files. They apparently went to Canada in 1825 so its very possible the directory was done before they left.
