Descendant note:
I am Kay (Bigelow) Mentzer Sewick. My roots are: John (1), Samuel (2), John (3), Jotham (4), William (5), Levi (6), Lafayette, sr. (7), Lafayette (8), Elton (9), Keith (10), Kay (11).  I told her that I had alot of family history information that has
been passed down in the family that could add information to what is on your web site, especially about Lafayette, sr. and after. I also find inaccurate information on your web site under the Surnames section and I can verify the correct information.
