Could you please post on the list your generations down from Eleanor Cecil
[Mrs. Thomas J] Witten and Rebecca Cecil [Mrs.James B.] Witten?
My husband descends from Sam and Rebecca White Cecil through their son
Zachariah and wife Nancy Ingram, so I know nothing of the DAR Question. [I
am eligible on my own but not a member]
but would love to have your input on these two of your ancestor families
as far down the line as you might care to go.
I am sure others on the list would agree.
Thanks.
