Dear Steve,
I read with interest your entries on the Conwell Family Genelogy Forum. I am a descendent of Yeates, John Sr, John Jr, etc.
There seems to to some confusion about John Srsfirst wife, Comfort. The information I have, and yours agrees, is that Comfort was a Claypoole. However, there was another posting (I think it was dated Oct 12, 2000, that says Comfort was a Cromwell, and that her parents were Joseph Cromwell and Comfort Daisy.
I also read just yesterday on the Mormon Church Family Search Pedigree Resource file that Comfort was a Cromwell, and that her parents names were Joseph Cromwell and Comfort Dorsey.
Since I have not done any of this research myself, I do not know what to believe. What proof do you have to support the Claypoole name? (I hope that doesn't sound too harsh. At this point I am merely curious.)
According to a very distant cousin whose family actually did the research, I am descended from John Sr's second wife, Susanna. Susanna is the mother of John Jr.
Do you have any information on Susanna? I have nothing at all, only her first name. (I hope you don't tell me she never existed.) Also, I have nothing on Elizabeth (Betsey), John Jr's wife, except her name in his will.
I will be very grateful if you can provide any additional information. If you have any questions for me, please ask. Although I don't have a book, there might be something I can help with.
Perhaps another distant cousin,
