Caroline: I have been SO BUSY with family (the LIVE ones!!..as in 4 kids,
and 4 grandkids, in and out) that I haven't had a chance to do much with
what you said. Thanks for your reply, and info about your SARAH PETIT or
LOAFMAN/LOADMAN. I don't have anything back into the 1600's yet, but am
working on it, so will put this with my material. The furthest back I have
found anything is when one WILLIAM LOAFMAN dies intestate in Virginia,
leaving three orphans, John, Edward, and Elizabeth in 1747. Then I skip to
OUR EDWARD LOAFMAN, who marries OUR SARAH (SALLY) PERKINS, on 24 July,
1810, in Caswell County, N. C. Right now, I am working on building
something in between those two.
Please let me hear from you if you have anything of interest, and I will be
glad to do the same.

A fellow net searcher,,,and possible "cousin"
