Upon further investigation, I'm not sure either.But, my husband's paternal grandmother had a grandmother by the name of Eliza Lence, whose parents were Boston(Bastian) Lence and Elizabeth Lence. I'm told that many families married cousins back in the 1800's.Eliza married a John Russell.My husband has told me that his grandmother told him her grandfather was a chief of an Indian tribe, but he can't recall what tribe.It could be that she was referring to a gr-grandfather? Could this be our connection?I tried to send an e-mail to turquois39 but it was returned.Do you have a different e-mail address?I am still new to computer genealogy.Have been doing genealogy for many years, but am still learning all the technology of the internet.If you would prefer, we can communicate via e-mail.
