Sam, I can't add any validity to your ancestry but I think that's an awesome story. I love it when I find family names permeating my growing lineage. I found years ago that my sister, Nancy, and my cousin, Carrie, were named after women in our family back many generations. So far back, in fact, that our mothers didn't recall those long-gone women. It seems that mothers had been naming daughters after their mothers and grandmothers for so many years that no one knew the original bearers of those names and didn't realize they were repeating a tradition. We are "cut from the same cloth" it seems. :-) Still give me chills. -Teresa
