Hi, Shannon 8/14/2007
Sounds like you should join the 18th C studies listserve and post
your query to its members. (I'd recommend digest format.)
It would help to specify the religion/ethnic background/town of the
families involved--I'd assume rich Quakers and rich Anglicans would
have had different ways of approaching this, ditto Germans vs.
English.
