Beverly,When you are researching this name, do look at other spellings. I have always done this and often have found someone I might not have if I hadn't. Because throughout our early history, people have varied levels of education, they spelled their names in different manner. This forum (which used to be quite large and therefore reached a larger audience) has now been broken up into the different spellings. This makes it somewhat difficult for those, like myself, doing a single name publication. I actually have materials which can be said to get at the roots of many genealogical puzzles,back to our English roots. I will not, however, ever publish my complete research on a forum like this as I do intend to publish a four part set in the future and I do not want my data (much of which is not available elsewhere) usurped from under me. I have, however always tried to help fellow researchers with their connections to both the New England and southern brances of the family.Good luck and don't give up.Linda Kendall Sawyer
