Andrea Cobb:
I saw your posting and I may have some information for you, but
will have to track down my sources. I'm just beginning to get heavily into
it, but I have several hundred Ryersons and relations in my PAF 4 Database
already. Unfortunately, when I first started, I didn't document all my
sources with each person, so now I'm having to review them all to document
sources with actual text from whatever I have. Be glad to forward anything
that I can.
I have a Ryerson family bible (Family Bible of James N. & Abbie E.
Ryerson, my great grand parents on my father's side) that I've pretty well
exhausted for sources (lots of names and dates). But this is not the
Thunis info. Just forwarding it for what it's worth. All bible info is
copied below exactly as recorded on various pages:
-------------
Family Bible of James N. & Abbie E. Ryerson
Inside front cover is label: "James & Abbie Ryerson Family Bible.
Sons: William P. , Frank, Horace
In back of Bible are the following titled pages:
