Recommend you check with our resident Fones descendant in N Kingston,
Charlie Carpenter. Email him at . Also, do you know if
William had any brothers or sisters. My Fones line from N Kingston settled
in the Oswego, NY area and I believe William may have lived their prior to
heading to Wales. Maybe we can help one another?
