I have entered all I have and here it is---still think your Elizabeth is
a dau. Study this and see what you think. When you get the
other-remember a lady told me 20 years ago that the unmarried Elizabeth
with catharine Hanna was nee Cecil and married a Cecil in PA and I
cannot for the life of me remember her parents but I just do not think
it was Levi-he was never that I have found in Tusc. co., Ohio. Think
two more daughters are Eliz.Smith and Deborah Forshey and possibly a dau
married a Craig. Note there are no marriages cuz Monroe co.'s are gone.
