Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 166 Send Message	David I've just googled and found the following: Cornwall Online Census Project, transcript of Piece HO107/144(3) ... ,,Elizabeth Rapjohn,,20,Servant,DEV,should be Devon ,,Anne Berryman,,20,Servant,In county, ,,Jane Benney,,20,Servant,In county, ,,John Rigg,20,,Servant ... freepages.genealogy.rootswebcom/~kayhin/40144b.html - 86k - Cached - Similar pages Change the I don't know which census this refers to as I haven't looked further but it would seem worth a check with rootsweb, especially as Elizabeth is often shortened to Betty. Alternatively, there are lots of google entries for Lake Rapjohn in Washington, USA. If the above is no go maybe Betty came from the lakes area. Good Luck, Jo.
