Dear Pat,
Be sure and stay up north until the hurricanes are over! The last one
was not very nice.

Subject: [DEN] Jones/Griffiths/Roberts/Williams Ruabon/Baltimore/PA/OH
According to the marriage bann of our (I believe to be our family)
John Griffiths b. 1799 N. Wales/Elizabeth Jones b. 1805 bop (can't
read it but I think it is Ruabon of an older splng) in Denbigh signed
this bann 27 Apr 1822 by John Jones Currate.
This was witness by William Roberts/Mavis Richards.
This couple had three children bapt in this parrish, but must have
moved between
each birth. The dates from the records in Wales match
those in the bible of this couple that we have.
I have them coming to the US 1829 arriving in Baltimore. I am
still working on
getting ship's name/record
I have John's naturalization papers which lists a Robert
Williams
as some sort of sponsor or someone who would vouch for him. I am
wondering if this person was really the William Roberts listed on his
marriage record and the names were just transposed. Just a thought.
I am wondering if anyone might give suggestions as to where to go
from here bk in
Wales.
I also believe that Elizabeth Jones also had a sibling Thomas
Jones b. in Wales I am wondering if I might be able to find parents
that might match these two and then have another generation bk in
Wales. Elizabeth was b. 1805. I have three possible b/c for her in
church records for that yr.
I have a census from OH where her brother lived on her farm for
some time. I think I can pull up an age giving me some est of yr of
birth.
I have been making headway with this family and some off branches
this yr in the
US I hope it continues until I leave for FL when it
gets colder here in the midwest.
