Patricia, I also go back to William Vernon of Newport, the Revolutionary War Secretary of the Naval Committee.My line ultimately goes down through Samuel Brown Vernon of Chicago; my grandmother and her niece were the last of the line to carry the name Vernon.I would enjoy exchanging information on the Vernon line -- most of what I have comes from the 1879 NEHGR article on the family, Lippincott's article on the family Bible which came from the estate of Ambrose White Vernon, and family information from my grand-aunt, who posthumously got me started in this whole mess.
Thank you, Jo Bahry
