Hi Folks,
I have no responded since none of the names mentioned were connected to the
Peases I have been researching.
However, I did enjoy receiving the daily blurbs and would continue to enjoy them.

I am the daughter of Walter Pease Jr., granddaughter of Walter Sr. (brother of
LeRoy, Allen, Arthur and Lorrain), all born in Providence, R.I. Their father was
Arthur Strong Pease, son of Col. Leroy Bidwell Pease (b. 1842, Enfield, CT;
d.1916, Utica, NY).
I need to find strong evidence that Arthur was biological or adopted progency of
Col. Pease
