Naming Patterns: Joseph. This ties in someplace to this line. Not sure where yet, but it was someone that was respected and possibly a family member. We should go in that direction for a connection, either on this side or the other?

There are also some others, a Simms (nephew) and then some Clark's that are adopted (possible children of one of the sisters. Delete this message after you all have read it. THANKS!
