Thanks, Ruth...
I may get my CHANCELLORs back to the boat someday, and then I'll take you up on your
kind offer. Can I be of help to you over here? I'm located in Virginia, about eight
miles from the ocean in what used to be Princess Anne County (named for Queen Anne before
she ascended the throne, of course), now the City of Virginia Beach.
About the unfamiliar place names... Goochland County, named after William Gooch, the Royal
Governor of the Virginia Colony from 1727 to 1749, is about 50 miles north of Richmond,
VA, the state capitol. Franklin County (named for Benjamin Franklin) is about 200 miles SW
of Goochland by roadway, probably 150 or 160 miles as the crow flies. A bit of Virginia
geography/history for you. 8-)
Thanks, again,

Helo Carolyn,
My Chancellors come from Walton, Somerset, England. The names and places
you mention are not familiar but if you ever have a connection to the
English ones perhaps I could help.
Cheers Ruth
