[Howard Fear]

Hi,

Below is the message I forwarded  to the FEAR Single Name Society , and the
response by Tam Llewellyn.  In my original message I should have said:
I have two children: George b1790 and Joseph b1803 to Joseph FEAR & Mary
GANFIELD.  that John b1840 was son of Joseph b1803 & Eliza Went.  If anyone
can connect John FEAR m Ann CHAMBERLYN to Joseph& Mary, I should be very
interested.  I hope you find something of interest here.

Howard FEAR
