I have finally found my ancestor in your GenPage. I saw your posting on Jan. 5 in the GenForum and followed it. Cornelius is my ggg-grandfather. A family history said that he was one of seven brothers that came over with Lafayette to fight for the US.  After reading your info, I guess that is wrong.  I have Mary Lucinda (15336.5Bt) b. Mar 17, 1802 VT.  Married James Blair 1830.  Children:
Elizabeth
Persis
John D.
James D.
Matilda
George D.
Adam Hiram
William
Mary Lucinda

I got her birthdate from Roy Blair, he is gone and I don't know where his work is.
My mother and aunt have tried to find out if one of his sons still have the info.
My mother was elated with just seeing the page on Cornelius.  Wait until I get the rest of the history for her.
Thank you for breaking one of the walls on my moms side.  Even though Blair is a common name. It is that that makes it hard to find the right line.  The others are Hess, Zimmerman, Mautasch and Hunkey. Thanks again, Jack Kraft

 hi: my cousin lynn jones wrote to you concerning cornelius bigelow, and I figured his
 mom got her info from roy blair referenced by Jack Kraft on the memo below cornelius'
 name on your site. I think maybe roy blair got it wrong because what you had makes more
 sense. It referenced a couple of Bigelows  who fought or drummed in the war of 1812 so
 this is maybe where it came from. People always have a way of exaggerating stories in the
 past and in the present. I just wished I could find the proper Blair line, but I've looked and
 it doesn't seem to exist for our line. I read all the information that you had on your site and
 I was quite thrilled as most of your other email correspondents are as was my mom who is
 85, I'm sure happy to have found you. I guess we are also cousins many times
 removed. May I use the material as reference in my genealogy?  It won't be for some time
 i'm afraid as i have to do the paternal side of my family . When it is through do you want
 our family link? thanks again gayle bowman-gohlisch

Christine and James Allingham. My second husband Peter Gohlisch and I have no children.
thanks gayle
