Cyndy..you are a treasure! Thanks once again..I want to pass something on to
you..sometime ago I asked you how I could obtain copies of some old
Middlesex Countycourt records (1600s) and followed up on the sources you
gave me.I always like to go to the original sources when I can. Today they
arrived..and are a real revelation. Both BOND and SAVAGE have the wrong
information about this ancestor. I am sure this is certainly not true in
most cases. but if it were not for your help, I would never have been able
to access the original doocuments. I cannot thank you enough.
