Maybe you folks can help me. My ancestor Nancy Easton
is identified in family histories only as "a Quaker
from PA" She is, from my research, descended from
Phillip Easton. She married William Davis who has
siblings who married descendants of Leonard Phillips.
Her other ancestors are Moorman, Douglas, Reynolds,
Church. I would be interested to see if there are any
of these names in the Hopewell MM.

Thanks,

Sandy
