Julie,
Where did Edwards son James get to? You said he wasn't mentioned in the records...do you know
what became of him? Was there an Roderick in the family? I am looking for a line of PA
McConnells and having a hard time. You family is around the time of line....could be a
connection...thanks Lisa
