Rachel, I can make a connection, but, where and who do you want it connected to?Septimus Jasper (SJ, as he is known to his grandkids) is buried in Bluefield.His son, William L. still lives in Welch.SJ was the younger brother to my grandfather, William H. who was born in Chesterle St., Durham County, England.The family immigrated here in 1871.They lived in several places while moving west.They settled in Canton, Ohio until buying Cole's Ferry in Halifax Co., Va.Their Parents were Thornton Kell and Emily Bertram.Both are buried in Canton.I have known William L. in Welch for several years.I had the disrinct priviledge of meeting his cousins last year at their reunion in Princeton, Va.William comes to our reunion (the Sunday after July 4, in Wilmington, Oh---all are welcome to attend!) each year.I hope this helps.Oh, by the way, where are you connected?I live in southwest Ohio.
