Kathleen, WIth all due respect, and I mean this most earnestly: Carolyn Jett is the President of the Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library. One of her biggest concerns is copyright infringement-especially when it involves her own publications. May I politely suggest to the good Book Doctor that you paraphrase her work and her words and put them in a more concise manner, rather than, well, "borrowing" them word for word into many paragraphs? A gentle suggestion. Craig Kilby On Sep 14, 2011, at 11:54 AM, Kathleen Much wrote: > Hannah Fox, dau. of David Fox d 1669, married Capt John Mottrom. Their son > was Spencer Mottrom Sr, who m.
