Della,
If you will take the advice of an "old genealogist", please do your own
research for two reasons:   (1)  You will get the personal satisfaction of
"finding clues" and really learning the family history    (2)  You will
know that the information you receive is truly documented.

I am, to be quite frank, horrified by some of the stuff coming over the
internet.  Much of it is plaguerized works of others and because the person
did not do the research himself, many errors result.  Even in my own
published works are errors which are later corrected.  However, if a person
did not get the later correction, those errors will float around for years
and years.  I always advise a researcher to use every tool available but
then to send for the actual documents.

I have put your name in my "computer brain" and will certainly let you know
if I come up with something.  
Jean
