"A few dates I do not get but will try to get them.  Will get descendents of these 7 that left descendents.  Their descendents live in many states but think I can get it all for you.  It will take more time.  Bring the data I give you back with you.  I have a copy and we will see if you have the dates correct.  Of course anyone is liable to make mistakes in copying."  A.V. Williams
