WOW, Thank you so much I will try to find out more on Betty, funny she did not list Hilton who was her son but he may have died before then. I really do want to find out when Betty died. My wonderful ancestor John Smith sold the land from under her and then moved to Maine. Thanks for the names of the daughters, I figured there had to been some but Rhoda was the only one I knew of. Have you done the DNA? They have done a good job with it but there are just too many people on it that do not show their tree. But I have found some interesting things. Thanks again Loraine.
