Jean,
This file you sent me could be a very important file for me, one in which I
can give you only a minimum of assistance, because I did not have it myself.
Sure hope we can track it down. Could I have Tom Carothers email and/or web
site. I will be doing a search as soon as I get this off to you.
Anyhow, below is my Carruthers contingent. I DO show son Wm marrying a
Sarah, but I have none of their chillins (I asume the list is suggested of Wm
and Sarah's offspring, rather than that of John and Rosksolannah). Remember, in
the will I attached to last message, Wm was the prodigal son who had to return
home or forfeit his bequest.
Do we have a surname for Content? I see 2 Browns and 2 Thomases. Any
relationship to each other? With this many surnames, one would think some
verification would be possible. Thanks Jean, for thinking of us.
I am copying Jean Witherington, who is our historian and official record
keeper/authenticator. This could be a very helpful find.
Best and again, Thank You
Barry Wetherington (Witherington/Widdrington)
PS: Decided to copy list

Hello Barry,
May I please beg a favor? I was sent a
GED.COM today and it has John and
Content's son William married to Sarah Harvey. Very little data came with
this file. I would like to verify this data by you before I enter into my
program.
Tom Carothers who sent me the file does not have this line connected to any
other Carothers? He must feel there is a connection but no notes were sent.
Thanks for any help,
Jean Wilson
