Hi,
The mention of this book perked my ears up. My SINGLETON's left IOW
early 1700's for the colonies. Sounds like this book covers this time
frame. Could someone tell me if and where I might purchase a copy or,
at least, someone who might do a lookup. I know there were Singleton's
there at the time and still are. I just can't find mine!

Thanks so much,
Tom Land
