Some works in progress
I would most like to know the families of origin for my greatx3 grandparents Rosanna "Rhoda" (Layman) Stratton aka White and Joseph Stratton. Another couple of brick walls I'd really like to solve are Cornelius Shaw and Phebe Joslin.

Thanks for your post about PGM William Briscoe's article in the new NEHGR. Do you have a link to the issue? I haven't seen it yet. It would be good to be able to source his profile.

I got interested in the project when my investigation into my neighborhood found I was living on land that a former slave bought from his enslaver after he was set free in 1819. He is buried several streets away from me on what was turned into a park in his honor. I am the New Jersey team leader for the USBH Project.
Anytime you have questions, let me know.
