Dear Jim, I will do some checking I had some Nova Scotia addresses. I think David Scranton went to Nova Scotia way before 1790C.If you figure that the girls married aroung the age of 10 They would all have m. in the 1770's The way the letter is written Thomas had tried sending other letters but didn't think they had gotten through. I think the Scrantons were aroung when Eunice got m. 1774. Lois Strong Eunice Strong b. Aug. 16, 1752, m. 1774, d. Oct. 22, 1828, Dea. Simeon Coe, b. Feb. 12, 1775, d. Oct. 25, 1838, s/o Simeon Coe and Anna, a farmer at Durham, CT., after 1790 Whitestown, NY. He m2 Sarah Coe of Litchfield, NY. Loraine Strong b, Mar. 18, 1759 Catharine Strong, b.
