Harman Clark is probably the best one to shed light on this. This first Tamson (according to John's scheme) was wife of James. Some believe her last name was Hillary, but I don't know where this information comes from. The second Tamson, was the wife of John WILLEY, according to Harman. I have information that suggests that Tamson, wife of Elijah Libby b. abt 1798 was Tamson DROWN, daughter of Moses DROWN and his second wife Lois ALLARD. Lois m. third Joseph GRAY, one of the sons of William and Hannah (FOSS) Gray. This is pieced together from secondary sources, including an Ancestral File submission, and should be treated as speculation. Cindy Walcott Grand Isle, VT -----Original Message----- From: John W.

I suppose after her grandmother. She was born 1758 and married a Hilley or Hillery. I hope I have you sufficiently confused as I hate to be the only one with this problem. ...John ([email protected])
