Thank you too, Carol. I am also pleased that someone is hunting in the
same forest as I am.

I appreciate the tentative tree showing family of Catalina Van BIBBER.
I can add that into the database here as "tentative" until we are
sure. I hope if anyone sees corrections or additions they will post
about that, but it makes sense so far.

Sorry, not yet, only a birth date and place, supposedly 7 April 1722 -
Cecil County, Maryland --along with a reference to Register of
Marriages, Births, and Burials Vol. I - North Sassafras parish (MD)
St. Stephen Church. I have not seen that book.

Might be; otherwise he may have hired on to work somewhere or
apprenticed to learn a trade --he was or might even have been working
at sea on a ship. Was there anything in Orphan's Court about William
and Jehu?

About Enoch David and the NJ connection --there is an descendent of
Caleb AYERS on the NJ-list, I wonder if you have run across him yet. I
know we transcribed a land transaction of that family, which has not
all been posted back to that List yet. But checking archives of the
NJ-List for late 2005 and for 2006 might yield something.

I have no more suggestions at the moment but am thinking about this
whole thing very hard and hope to add in some more in the near future.
Whatever I learn I will be sure to bring back here.

Thank you again for the Cathalina Van Bibber tree.

Best wishes,
Liz J
