Arlene, Thank you for posting this - I had not seen the reference to Mira Labar before - I just contacted the family tree owner to see where they got that information. I believe James Vanorman was a brother to my ancestor Jacob Vanorman - the father to both of them Samuel that lived in Stroudsburg, Monroe Co., PA.
