David, based just on the similarity in names and the time frame I am positive that our lines are interconnected. If you have not done so, please check out my family website at the following site. You can also check out my ancestors on my mother's side of the family since she and my father descended from brothers about six generations back.
http://home.earthlink.net/~roywdavYou can check out my mothers' line on the ancestry.com website. Just type in my name in the search field and you should get to a site where both my father and my mothers lines are listed. It's on the Online family tree section of Ancestry.com
Good to hear from another long lost cousin.
