Many Thanks,

Thank you for your help Lisa. That is the right family. I was trying to find out if Sarah was born in the USA, but it doesn't state place of birth, as I thought it would.

You're welcome.

Do you have "later" information about the families?

If not, I can keep looking. This mentions William J. son of Joseph H and Blessing B.:

Are you aware of whom William married?

This is a branch of my family that I didn't know existed until today - so I have very little info about them. Any help would be greatly appreciated Lisa. Thank you.

Lorraine: If you haven't looked yet, you may want to look at the rootsweb link. I'm assuming the information is correct about William's wife.
