Thanks to both Edna and Nancy for their replies. I am having a very hard time documenting information published in a book, THE RUNYON GENEALOGY, which contains most of the information published and known about the John Masoner and Massie Runyn family. I have been unable to document any of the citations or rather comments the Runyon's have listed. Most of the Masoner researchers have accepted the Runyon information as fact but it just doesn't add up to what I have been able to find. Again thanks for your help.
