you certainly have the right family. it is definitely the son and grandson
of Henry Sr.

I cannot imagine anyone tearing a page out of a bible with some information
that was written about 200 years ago. If it is authentic, that would be an
act of vandalism.

I question the reliability of the dates, they are very close to what I have,
but an email to a mail list isn't the most reliable source. I would love
to believe it, but, things that sound too good to be true, usually aren't
true.

Just an old cynic,
Alfred
