Dave,
Thanks for this, these are my great great grandparents. Zoeth's mother's name was Hypsobeth Harlow & he was born in Caledonia, Queens Co. Zoeth & Elsie's son Benjamin was my great grandfather, married Sarah Ann Brownell & their daughter Eunice was my grandmother (father's mother). I love this stuff, thanks again.
