Of course I remember you. I think of you often and wonder how that illusive Caywood
research has been going. I was able to determine that it was indeed Katherine Headley
and if you want, I can send you lots of information on what I found on her and her very
long long line. Apparently, from what I found out, the family goes back to England and
were nobles, so you know what that means. There were records kept. let me. I have been
trying lots of ideas about finding that man, and have come to the conclusion he must have
been a merchant sailor. I had found Katherine once in the census with the boys, but not
Jacob. I also wondered if he died prior to 1860, which is the census I found them in. At
one time I actually found her in a Quaker record recording James' birth, and her
maiden name and age was also listed in there. Let me tell you, we have lots of Quakers in
that line! And mostly buried in Tuckerton. When my grandmother told me be careful of who
you called cousin, s!
he was not kidding. We got lots of family down in South Jersey.
