The book "House of Grimmett a Family Genealogy" by William Ordway is 1000 pages of history, pictures, and genealogy. I just looked at one page to get a sense of what I'm going to need to do and I am not familiar with his indexing protocols. I will return early next week to work on this draft where there are a number of holes. One, for example, is John whose parents were John Mcilvane and his first wife Correy that has not been added here in Geni, or other trees. I finally caught it as I was going to leave, but have noted the spot for my return. It becomes increasingly difficult because descendants explode up and down the coast...many coming from Pennsylvania. I'll continue the search, but might have to read his lengthy histories. It's an overwhelming tome. I'll conquer this...I swear lol
