Nance, Re your article dated 9 Nov 2000, Legal Profession in ECC. I read with interest the item on James WICKHAM, judge of the circuit court. In the article it states that his parents were Patrick and Catherine (Quigley) WICKHAM. This contradicts my husband's family history. His history says that Patrickwas surnamed BARNEY not WICKHAM and that Catherine Quigley was reallyMargaret Quigley, although one or the other of her names could have been reversed, i.e. Catherine Margaret or Margaret Catherine, preferring to go by just one of the names, and that she was born in Canada, and that she was Patrick's second wife, his first wife having died on board ship on the way to North America. The direct line of descent goes: Patrick Barney (parentage unknown), father of Thomas Barney, father of Melentus Barney, father of Helen Barney - my husband's mother Can anyone on the list shed some light on this difference in surnames? I'll be glad to discuss it with them. Thanks for your assistance, :>) Barbara Wickham
