Tim, you asked for Robyn Close's family site, its at
http://www.bmts.com/~blesauvage/closefamily/history.htm She did a lot of
work on it. There are still several Closes in Canada from this line. She
lives in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada.

In follow-up to the Lanarkshire reference below, info in the History of
Tucker COunty (West Virginia) says David Close and Agnes Ferguson arrived in
the US about 1847. He initially worked in the mines around Lonaconing and
New Creek, Maryland before moving to West Virginia. Does this open up any
possible connections with other Close families? Also would Robyn Close's
website be helpful? Seem to be at a dead end. Pam
