Don: Something to chew on here - A Blues CLUE - my ggrandmother Mary Seese was a twin, her mother Temperance Mayfield Seese had three sets of twins and her brother Samuel Mayfield had two sets of twins, and their mother Permelia Streight Mayfield had one set of twins. In your response to me you stated that Helen and Permelia Shuman were twins and had a connection to your Streight family. Sounds like Mary Temple Kendall had a connection to the Streight family as well. What do you think? Chris PS Although Permelia Shuman married Jacob K Streight , I wonder if she herself might not have been a Streight or a Dragoo?----Original Message----- From: Wvcaver@aol.com <Wvcaver@aol.com> To: SHUMAN-L@rootsweb.com <SHUMAN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, October 12, 1999 8:59 PM Subject: Re: [SHUMAN] Permelia Shuman >Chris >Permela Shuman is my 4th Great-grandmother. >Sara Temple/Kendall/Shuman has been a stone wall to me for at least 2 years >now. >Here is a sample of what I have found. > >According to the book: >William Kennedy & Related Families of McFarlands Run >Monongalia Co.
