Was your Stella May VESTAL related any way to theThomas VESTAL line from NC? My husband's line is descended from Thomas/William/and then Martha Frances VESTAL, she being his g grandmother. Anyway, some ended up in Sonoma Co., Shasta Co., and Fresno Co. in my notes. Also, try looking in the counties in and around San Diego area in the CA fed land records list... http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ca/ca-land.htm . Look here first before you reply to my e-mail on your line. You will probably find your ancestors on this list. Let's hope so, Happy Trails, J Also, visit my 4 personal home pages on spirituality and genealogy: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/3718/ -----Original Message----- From: Wesleiser@aol.com <Wesleiser@aol.com> To: VESTAL-L@rootsweb.com <VESTAL-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, February 23, 1999 10:29 AM Subject: [VESTAL-L] Re:VESTAL >Hi, > I just joined your site yesterday when I learned about it.
