OK, a reminder.. I think some of these Johns are intertwined a bit.. And
these pages are not real clear... If you see a ? After any name (one or more
?)..then I can't make out the word/s. Also dates are mostly written "sep
18, 1704/5, etc.. I have taken the initiative to change them to the format I
am using here. Keeps the question of is it a month or day clearer. Marge
Campbell.
