Karen,
I've been impressed with all the great records you've uncovered. As you
know I've long suspected that "our Charles" is the son of Stoddard, and
known
that in fact Stoddard had a son named Charles Lewis, born the same year as our
Charles, but from what I've been told, we still need a document that says that
"our Charles" is THE Charles Lewis that was born to Stoddard and Abigail. So
I'm interested in knowing if the DAR will accept the link we have made or not.
Of course, even if they do, I'm stuck proving the link between Charles and
Henry - also very strong evidence, but no actual document - not in Henry's
pension papers, or any family papers I've seen. So I still have a ways to go.
The last thing I mean to do is question your wonderful contributions toward
solving the mystery, Karen. Without your research, I never would have known
what became of Charles after he and Henry parted ways. Good luck to you!
