Genealogy: Chasing your own tale!
Thank you all! I stand corrected. Years ago, when I was first catapulted
into the genealogy business by my [sneaky] son, who said "Dad, you researdh
the ancestors, and I'll pay for it" {then I got on the internet, and the
research has cost me so little I never gave him the bill}. . .I don't
remember who told me, but I was told Kesiah was a nickname for Elizabeth and
that they were one and the same person. I held onto that belief until I saw
evidence to the contrary. My copy of that page from the Summers Co book
doesn't have a date on it . . .
Isn't that what these discussion lists are for? to find and disseminate the
truth? I've learned more about the Meadows/Cale(s) relationship in the past
two weeks than in the past twenty years . . .I'm delighted. Now I have
census figures and info on relationships I never saw before . . .
Now if we could figure out when and where John died and is buried. . .

Wasn't John's grandmother Isabella Burnside Cales?

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG! . . .we're talking about
Sarah Elizabeth Dick
Cales, wife of James, mother of
Eliza, Magdalena, John, Archibald, Isabella and Luverna. ????
Marjorie Williams' book doesn't include the "Elizabeth" with "Sarah
Dick".
That doesn't prove anything except that I didn't know it . . .
