She found the same names in almost all counties including John, James, William, Henry, Thomas, Samuel, Ann and Mary. She followed these names and only a Charles disappeared from her search. She states that he probably went to Barbados. There was some connection between some Farmers and Barbados according to her book. She does not know if these Farmers are related to the line that the book is mainly about. This book is in the Bedford Public Library. Tim Witt
