Sarah, Thank you for the names of the parents. > Robert Huse (md) Elizabeth Dempsey(this is the one I gave before) > Parents ;Thomas & n/a; , William & L A For anyone interested, Elizabeth's parents were William A. Dempsey and Sarah Ann Wood. The L A listed should be S A, a mistake often made when transcribing. Cathy
