Actually, I did send a message to him. I actually thought that he was the
one who you heard from...or did you hear from either one of the people I
sent messages to?

Hi Mary!
I'm not sure they were in Durham. Apparently, George was born in the Isle
of Man. But who know what's correct in the lineage I found. No citations.
And I have the two sons of Joseph and Leora. I didn't have Franklin's
death. Thanks! He was married to a Denison.
The 1747 baptism probably does fit somewhere. I'm going to sytart
collecting those. Let me know if you find more!
Did you send message to Anthony Cowley's ancestry box? I'd sure like to
find him.
