Where in the world have you been???:) I have been posting queries on
this line since the very beginning of this list!:) I am descended from
James' son John who married a Barringer and from their son Harry who was
my great grandfather. Do you have a copy of the letter from Rev. John
Strain? or any records for that matter?? I have a copy of David's will
that I received from my research this summer at the NC State Library
here in Raleigh.
