    -------------------------
    Hi Karen , I may have already sent you this, so if I did
    just ignore it. You
    asked if I knew when and where Christian Cones died. It was
    9-11-1777 in
    Georges twp. Chester county, Maryland. I apparently had
    said that Jacob and
    his wife Jane McCullough was born in Lancaster Va. It was a
    typo error as my
    records show Lancaster, Pa. How many children do you have
    for Jacob and Jane ?
