Nancy Flanders,

In a message dated 98-07-16 09:16:01 EDT, you write:
<< I have in my line John Pickard, who married Jane Crosby in 1644 in
Rowley.. I know nothing more about either of them and would be pleased with
any information. I am descended from their daughter, Sarah, who married
Thomas Hammond in 1679. >>

I have found 2 names but they both seem to be too young to be the John you are
looking for, perhaps a relative?Also found about 8 more PICKARD stones will
send if interested. Also found an interesting "wife of", information follows
(PLEASE NOTE: the "stone number" is the author's number not the cemetery
plot#)
