No, Maggie, I have none of the details. Knew 65 pounds had been paid but
not by whom & did no know Nathaniel paid his passage tho figured some of the
family helped. Would appreciate the details & also the names of the other
Pinneys involved. Those names might help me connect to my other Pinneys.
Thanks. Pat
