Dear Doug,

I am passing your message on to other appropriate lists, to see if you
can get better input than mine. Since many Chester Co. families came
from Cheshire England, you might also want to join that list, in
addition to those listed above.

I have a Mary Greenaway (1662-1723)who marrried Thomas Mercer of Aynho
Northamptonshire, and Elizabeth Pennell (1670-1692) of Balderton Parish,
Nottinghamshire, who married Josiah Taylor, all of who removed to
Willistown. There has been some information on these families on these
lists recently. I will pass it on to you, if you give me some more
information on your interests.

I also would very much like to have more information on these families,
so please copy me on all correspondence.

Good luck !
