Hey everyone,i'm wondering if anyone else has made this connection?my 5th great grandmother was Nelly Webb,who was the first wife of Joseph Greenway.I have been trying to find Bob (Robert?) Keyes since he has found a lot of the deeds in Sullivan Co.,that make this connection.But unfortunately his e-mail address is invalid,or atleast i can not send him an e-mail.Here is the deeds and information from his website (not working now) that definitely seems to suggest strongly that Nelly Webb is the daughter of John Webb and Mary (Adams?).Credit also goes to my cousin Rieta for sending these.
