Hi all,

I should have listed that Benjamin Piatt as father of William is only an
opinion -- sorry! Dick is correct and I initially got that opinion from him
and another researcher.

By the way, the original info on William and Hannah from Ken Lemmon actually
originated with me -- Ken is my father-in-law, so what I have sent recently
supercedes that. He had my initial research, to which I have subsequently
added and corrected.

Jeannine Lemmon
