WARNING: The following outline is "gathered" information which has not been
verified by more reliable sources. I have pieced this together from 3 years of
emails on this and other lists, Don Lewis transcripts, personal readings, etc
but have spent no time verifying all the details. I have "gathered" what I felt
was relevant, dumped what didn't fit and kept what you find below for
curiosity's sake. So, with that proviso, I offer this piece of "gleaning" as a
framework for future research.

Incidentally, I have no particular interest in this family but have a great
interest in this county and in sharing that which can be found and preserved.

I hope it helps.
Eric
