Dan,
A small correction. I did not "conclude" that Benedict had three sons among
the eight children he professed to have. in wasn't it 1764? The published
copy of the original letter which I have seen, has him stating to the
secretary or whatever the official title was of this assistant to Frederick
L.B.7, that he HAD three sons. I do not know that one of these was a John.
What happened to your/my quest to establish whether or not two of these
three sons were the later supposedly "died young" ROBERT and
"disinherited' WILLIAM.
The wedding guests of your WILLIAM will have to be researched and proven
otherwise beforre I will get off the argument that the ROBERT and wife
buried in the cemetary about 25 miles from where I grew up are not the
ROBERT and wife and WILLIQAM'S wedding.
Gorman and Nicklin and some others did not have imformation developed since
through this E-mail advantage, nor more recent revelationsd like that
letter. Research, not reiteration, of flawed history, is the need. If I
weren't nearly 72 and way the h--- out here in Montana , I would be in the
archiver and Library of Congress and kick some geneological ----.
Last I heard much from you, you were heading in there, to check some
things???
Regards,
Galen
