can help me straighten it out.

I have Thomas Prettyman, the son of William Prettyman and Elizabeth
Waples. {Source: Descendent Chart prepared by Ruth Montgomery 19 April
1999)

Thomas Prettyman married Comfort Stockley dau of Benjamin and Patience
Tilney (Source: "Colonial Delaware Assemblymen 1682-1776" by Bruce A.
Bendler. Page 109 "Stockley married Patience ___, by whom he had eight
children: .... Comfort, who married ____ West."

I also have that Comfort married Peter West, son of Robert & Elizabeth.

Any help is most appreciated,

Eva (Mrs. Dana West Ruben)
