Hello Linda, Perhaps we are, though as you know, there are many, many of us. My ancestors migrated through New York City about 1790 and thence to Western N.Y. then to Michigan. This Octogenarian was smart enough to leave Michigan and establish in Mississippi. If your lineage traces back to N.Y. state, there may be a linkage. Perhaps we are acquainted. Are you the Linda Taylor who attended the local Unitarian Church a few years back? Appreciatively, Bill T. In a message dated 1/12/2007 2:53:20 P.M.
