Hi John,

I will be most interested in any replies to your question about Ann MACOM.
Ann and Nathaniel PLESTER are a set of my 4xgreat-grandparents. I have also
wondered about a possible MARKHAM connection, but cannot find anyone of that
name in Souldern or surrounding parishes. It was also suggested to me that
the name could be MASON, but that doesn't fit anyone in Souldern either.

Regards, Michael
