If this is a good fit with other information you have, please reply to this message and I will transcribe the remainder of the biography. I AM NOT RELATED TO THIS FAMILY AND HAVE NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THEM. I'm just making the most of a $2.00 buy on eBay... If this helps you, please "pay it forward" by helping another researcher.
