Rick,
YOU DEFINITELY DESCEND FROM THE IMMIGRANTS, JOHN SR. AND MARGARET (CHAPMAN) LAING!
According to the newspaper clipping of 1885 mentioned in my previous posting:
It mentions that Webster Laing is son of Abraham Laing and Susannah Thorn.
Abraham Laing who married Susannah Thorn is son of David (and brother to my ancestor, Jacob Laing) Laing and Mary Shotwell Thorne (they were 2nd cousins). David is son of John Laing Jr. who married Elizabeth Shotwell. John Jr. is son of John Laing Sr. and Margaret Chapman.
This is your genealogy:
1] John Laing+ Margaret Chapman
2] John Laing Jr.+ Elizabeth Shotwell
3] David Shotwell Laing + Mary Shotwell Thorne
4] Abraham Laing + Susannah Thorn (This may be where Webster ancestors may come in)
5] Webster Laing + Margaret Noe
etc.
