Nancy, Sorry to have taken so long. I've been terribly busy. The information I have is taken directly from a copy of my grandmother's ancestor sheet which was given to me by an older sister. I cannot guarantee that there are no mistakes. She did cite her sources, so it shouldn't be too difficult to check. I'll be doing that as soon as I have some free time and would be happy to update you on anything I might find. Meanwhile, here's what I have:
"AUTHORITIES PROVING THE LINE OF DESCENT FROM ANCESTOR
