Fran, I saw your note below. My family file stops roughly at Edmond Smothers -- getting information on his ancestors has really been tough.. I am aware that Edmond's father is thought to be a John Smothers; but where did you get the birth date for John (1762) and his wife's name (Prudence Box).? I hope all is weel with you and Jim.
