NOTICE TO THE LIST -
Please understand that I can check a surname and even check that a
particular given name appears under that surname. Once we get into
requests for birth or marriage information, this is beyond what I've
offered to do BECAUSE it will take too much time.
Moreover, ****THIS IS IMPORTANT*** this book does not have much in the
way of church records - except for the Pennington Presbyterian Church as
mentioned in my original offer.
An index entry in this book may refer to a court record, that that person
was on a jury, a one-liner extract which refers to where that person
lived, etc. It is NOT a book of genealogies per se or descendancies and
I wouldn't want people to buy the book and be disappointed that I misled
them.

Back to the request...
Please see my preceding posting for the DILTS surname. There are two
index entries for WILLIAM.
For SMITH, there is, as you'd expect a page - about 75 entries - but no
MAHLON.
For THATCHER, I already gave this information in a previous message.
For BESSON., there are two entries
For BESONG, there is one
