Hi Eric, Thank you for informing me of the New Stray Leaves Site and the Blog. I made it !! The site looks great. Just as an update, I am a descendant of a John J. James and Mary Polly Carrel / Carroll, through their son Elisha Rollins James and Drusilla May Hargis, through their daughter Eva Elizabeth James who married a Thomas Pulaskie Kuhn. Still searching for more information on John J. James and Mary Polly Carrel / Carrol
