Gail: Could Clarissa Ann WHETEN have come from the Miramichi area of NB? There is a WHEATON/WHITTEN family there in the 1851 census into which two CARROLL brothers married in the 1850's. If your Clarissa could have some connection here, I have more info at home and could look it up. ------ Joe Carroll_Joe@htc.honeywell.com
