Thank you, Robert, for this complete report. Can't find any connections yet
but will save this information in case there is some real breakthrough. At
best, Joseph P. and Sally McKinster, were related to my great great
grandfather, Titus. Titus' had both a son and grandson with the Joseph "P"
McKinster names so in all likelihood they were related. I have often
wondered where the "Phillip" name came from. I note that many times in this
family, names were passed on down through the generations!

Many thanks for your assistance. Any other data you might discover would be
wonderful!
Pat P.
