Hi all,
This message was for a Scott but keeps getting sent back so I am posting
it for anyone interested.

While tip-toeing through the internet I came up your message as
attached. I am decended through Sophia Root Cook's brother David Vinton
Root. David went to Mo from Huron Co. and married Margaret McDonald.
They were my gg-grands. My g-grand mother was Vintie Root McDonald and
she died while on a "vacation to visit her cousins" in NE Ohio in 1906.
She is buried in Cleveland.
If you have not found the Roots and Vintons yet I have some of that
stuff. Both go back to the 1500's and England. Root was "Roote" and
the original ancestor was Thomas, reported to be a Huguenot. What I
don't have is the newer guys. Names I see in the messages for Huron
seem to go back into the Root geneology. ie Mehitable. I have pictures
of David and his father Josiah. None of Phebe.
I am only one year old with research so a newbie. I would like to
exchange info if you are interested.
As a side line. I graduated from Galion High School. "a few years
ago". My mother still lives in Galion, and I visit two or three times a
year. Now I have a reason to visit longer....Research...first hand.
My Aunt Dana. Who got me started by "willing me her notes" would have
been imazed to find what she was seaking so hard for in the 60's was
just a few miles from her bothers (my father) home. Dana was an editor
by profession and lived in Chicago. She wrote for the Hoody Doody
program among many other things. Unfortunately my father passed on 5
years ago at the age of 83 but he would have loved this stuff!!!
Really do hope to hear from you.
