Janice - I didn't realize that a whole year has passed since your last msg re those elusive Bosses in early RI. Are you thinking that Joshua and Josiah may have been brothers? Certainly sounds possible to me. Now if we could just find the next earlier generation! Josiah/Mary Ann Sherman are my 3rd grt-grandparents and I have good data from there til now if any of it would be helpful to you. Josiah's son, Joseph apparently lived in and around So RI, but his son George (my grt-grandfather brought his wife and young family to So Calif in early 1890s. My father, Mervin "Pat" and I were born in Los Angeles, my children in No Calif. Then it starts to get messy again with grandchildren and grt-grandchildren scattered from coast to coast!

I live in Tucson AZ, where it is getting HOT, right around 100 for the last 2 weeks, and that's just the beginning. My husband and I usually leave town and head to the cooler NW - Oregon and Washington about the 1st of June, return in late Sept so I expect to be on the road for a while but I do check my e-mail at least once a week, wherever we can find Internet hookups. I promise to answer quicker next time. -Patty Sue
