Shirley here is some information on John Watkins and Catherine Edelen.His will is enclosed. We think her name was Mary Catherine. She died after John Watkins. Your right there is nothing to be found on a Catherine Blyzard. I think because of the will that Giles left they think this is his daughter. In his will he only left permission for Thomas and
Catherine to lease land. If this had been his daughter she would have got more than just a lease. On top of that the other kids never let them lease the land. It did not happen.
There is a notation to this fact in writing in the court. I can not find my copy of it at the moment. Thank you for responding. I was going back and checking old postings. I do not know why I did not receive this. Brenda
