I'm really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, its rare to see a great blog like this one these days.
I am thrilled with Elmer's research and was able to get copies of the deeds referencing my 5th great grandfather and 4th great grandfather Dr Nehemiah Roszell (Derosel) and George Marshall because of his great notations! Thanks so much for all the work of all of you.
