Thanks Toby, I prepared to accept Bonnie's information as it comes from
Vital Records and as such carries a high degree of authenticity. Hudsons
History of Lexington is his interpretation and I guess with any old records
error can creep in and once established has a life of its own simply because
others searchers will pick it up and repeat it. Many thanks, James.

I have found IGI entries that are from actual church records. Was just
in SLC last week and found IGI records that were taken from film.
