1999 wow. Sarah Ella Van Ness and Chris Lemon are my great great grandparents. I have
been investigating the link back through Joseph Van Ness/Nest, of New Jersey. Seems what
I can determine so far Joseph and his brothers were brought west by their mother Abigail
(Warne) Van Nest because of an abusive spouse father. She changed the name to Van Ness to
hide the children from their father. Not definitive yet but looking like a very plausible
avenue.
