Well, I just didn't look hard enough. I overlooked James and Mary on my
sorted page list of families
(http://www.angelfire.com/ar/pyeatt/pglstsorted.html) and then when I went
to my researcher family lines page - I didn't have a link to James's page
from there. But, I have now located what I have on James and Mary
(http://www.angelfire.com/ar/pyeatt/JamesP.html) probably most of it pirated
from Laverne off the list : ) But, still lack a list of descendants, etc.
for Benjamin and source documents if anyone has abstracts. Thanks, Marianne
