Hello Jan, I am going to put these names on our list of "Names To Keep An Eye Out For." Ancestors just didn't stay in one spot. They moved around a lot and often had business dealings in counties other than the one they lived in. Hopefully, we will trip across some information on these good people somewhere in the ROOTWALKER region. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. "Land Of The Free!"
