Tom No, he was an ag lab (surprise, surprise!) Vanessa haha! She married into my family, not a blood relative at all. But I have found a female from about the same era (late 1700s) who lived into her 80s. But she was in Norfolk County lunatic asylum! nell

Helen - it obviously kept her young (perhaps this is the secret, find a man 20 years younger, if you can keep up you'll live to 98!) very refreshing to hear it sometimes works the other way round to the norm.
