Lanita, I found this note in my files. Hope it is of some help. Please see my web site at the address at the end of this note. My ancestors settled on the West Fork of Mill Creek in 1799. If you find any connection, please let me know. Ed ........................

My Thanks to all for your help and info... I am quite excited about the prospect of getting to go to one ancestral county where I've never visited. If anyone stumbles onto SCONCE or MAYFIELD, please let me know. The SCONCE is definitely mine, and I am still researching MAYFIELD. Thanks again!!
