Dear Ms. Staton:
I have just read your posting of information regarding Sarah Reffit.Was she one of the German emigrants or just accompanied them? We have always heard the name was French, but some names, in the area of Franche-Comte like those in Alsace-Lorraine, may have variant spellings depending upon when the Germans or French controlled the area. My Reffitts were here a good deal earlier than Sarah in question; my gggrandfather having been born in Kentucky in the 1820's.
