Hello, David
I did not know ofThomas V.N., the brother of William, both sons of William W. and Mary Saladin. Am not sure that I shared the following information with you previously.A handwritten note from my aunt, Jeannie T. Cason, dated 1941,stating "Aunt Delly told me".The latter is my great aunt and she would have been 78 years in 1941.She speaks of a visit when she(Aunt D.) was about 16 yrs old fromWilliam W. and Mary S. and the latter told of reading college lessons to son, William, who had some kind of eye condition.The younger William went on to graduate with honors from college and became a Unitarian minister in Brookline,MA.Just wondered if that may give some hint of where to locate Thomas, or the denomination.I have D.O.B. for their father as January 12, 1827. Also have the latter as both doctor and lawyer. Jean Ann Lemon
