I cant remember where, actually I can but I dont want to say so until it is proven, but
many a researcher out there has placed that John "Jersey Blue" Carman in with
Jehiel and
Nathaniel, as well as Daniel, and, mistakingly, my Thomas. Patricia didnt make an
"honest mistake", she simply provided information that has been speculated about
for years...only
she warns that one needs to verify their own information! I dont think she made such a
grave error that she should be publically knuckle-whipped and scorned I consider the
posts on
these lists as skeletons...then go and find out the real deal! I thank Patricia and Dan
and everyone else for the information that they have provided on this list. How I choose
to
use the information is of course, entirely up to me. I also vote to keep the toggle
"ON". I cant keep going back and forth to that GenConnect board every time I
think about it,
which is rarely, and the automatic notification is great! I wish all boards had that
feature. david

As Dan Carman pointed out, this John is not related connected to
Nathaniel
and Jehilah. I picked up information from the next pension request which
was about Nathaniel.
Would be interesting if anyone has any more information on either of these
branches they would like to post.
