I've seen the registers of St. John's Episcopal Ch. where they married
but have not seen anything about the parentage of the young
grandmothers. That Mary could be mine but she would have married Moses
Greer when fifteen, which was not unusual in the era, or at least in
my family, or so it seems.

Evidently you have the book. Is there a Eleanor Hugues family in the
registers? I'll get in touch with willowbendbooks to see if they
have a copy if you think I can find the other parents listed. Billie
