Hi Jim - could you possibly supply a little further information to help me out here. Perhaps some information on dates and places of some of the later events you have mentioned would be useful, particularly if that information can be compared with Census records. It might be handy if some of this information was available to allow me (and others) a chance to take an independant look at the ancestry without having preconceived ideas based on another persons information. In other words - the 'Fresh Approach' which might help turn up any possible discrepancies or errors and may also help dig out new information that might previously have been 'hidden'. (Or just not found.)
