Thank you that makes sense! Do you know how the word is pronounced? The word was probably
adulterated over the years. The birth place of William A Standish was published as Apoynay
in the book "Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio History, Vol. 2" and the
misinformation seems to have perpetuated itself in numerous family trees. A second
publication, "Clarke County Historical and Biographical Record" states he was
born near East Greenwich, Kent County, RI.
Appreciate the help~
Roberta
