My apologies for deviating from my chronology, but I wanted to post & didn't have time for the last family below. The next post will be my four 1800s families, all on Mom's side! After that, I'll be dealing with the ten families that I haven't traced back to England, Scotland, Ireland or Germany, where I suspect they originated & the Low family, which I goofed up on some 15 or so years back.
