Paul,
I am sure that ROBERT FEATHERSTONE and THOMAS FEATHERSTONE are one
of the same. Possibly his name was Thomas Robert and he went by the name
Robert. Because they are the only two Featherstones mentioned and it seems
strange that they both married Sarah's from Barham, then Thomas disappears.
what do you think??
