yes he is. Absolum is brother to my great grandfather James. their father is William. James som Marshall is my grandfather. I have tried for years to find info on William and all I can find is from book by Patterson about history of Tatamagouche, that he came to Bayhead in I think 1814. I can't find who his wife was, who would be my gggrandmother. Happy to share what I have on family.
