Thanks to all who have so quickly responded to my query about Hosea and Japeth. I am new to the list and overwhelmed by all the information! I need to sort out my notes, but I will get back to you all. I am researching my mother's line:Beatham, Withee, Washburn. Hosea's dau, Mary (Polly) married John Harlow Withee in Norridgewock Me area, and I haven't gotten back to much information on Hosea. Thanks again, Marian Tobey Perkins
