Hello Listers,

I have been in touch with Robert and David offline and appreciate the exchange very much.
Robert very helpfully took a look at the microfilmed references he mentioned in his post. He thought that there wasn't anything in them that would connect Mary Doddridge Humphreys to Richard Humphreys emigrant abt 1826 to South Africa. These references are:
1)"Doddridge Chapel Comunity Yesterday and Today" by Cecilla Ranck and 2)"The Settlement and Indian Wars of the Western Parts of Virginia and Pennsylivania, 1763-1783" by Joseph Doddridge
From David I received a Descendancy chart of Richard Doddridge, b ca 1530, merchant of Barnstaple. There is a lot to absorb from that chart!
Thanks to all who helped.
I would like to contact Denis Grahahm who has posted to the list previously. I tried to use the email on his profile and it was rejected. Denis, Can you please contact me?
Thanks,
Pat Lowe, Woodbury Minnesota
