Hello Jean ! This is Al Metts in San Antonio. I have been reading your message to Frank. I promise not to nag you! But, since you have all those Buckingham books, when you have a spare moment, please, will you look for Mary Howell of Buckingham who married Jesse Thomas in about 1779. He came home to Cumberland from Valley Forge. His first wife, Sally Wood had died leaving him with five hungry kids and a crop in the field. He married Mary Howell and she gave him seven more kids. I would like to know more about Mary - her parents and her marriage. Please?
