Hi, Patricia, I am astounded!!!!!!! Thank you very, very much! There is ever so much more there than I imagined, dreamed, or hoped! That is fantastic! Sorry to cause you to type so much, but I certainly do appreciate it. Most of this land must have been the land in Lewis County owned by Laurence and Mary, thougth to be my 6th great grandparents. Recognize lots of these surnames as those of the spouses of their children, too, and they suggest more clues, too, for the unknown surnames. THANK you! Very best regards, Jane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jane McCann Walsh [email protected]
