Thank you for answering so promptly. My mother was Annie Louise, sister of Myron Ewing, and Kelley Ranslow-Renslow was my great great grandfather.
His daughter Mary Ann was my great grandmother. Her daughter Hetty married my grandfather John Ewing. I now remember your name from the Ranslow
List -- which has been rather quiet of late. I'll be glad to give you any info I have, but you probably know as much as I do. Still searching for Charlotte
Wilder. I am one of those who believe that Ranslow was once Rencellaer, and I truly think we will never know his anticedents. However, once I have my
books unpacked (I have just moved in with my son Stephen and his family), I will send you my genealogy of the Ranslow-Renslows. I just received an e-mail
from Larry Renslow, and it was a pleasure to hear from him again. I do admire his get-up-and go.
