return, married and had lots of children as did JM. >>
Carol Anne - this note from Jim Freeman opens the possibility that the two
"Patriot" prisoner/settlers may have known each other - especially if they
were in business together! I wonder if your MARCEAU contact knows
anything about (a) POLLEY and (b) the axes.
