        Looking at your site, I see you are connected to this line, but I have not been able to figure out how you connect. Is it through Pearl Ward, who married Orville?  I remember visiting them and my Gt Aunt Miriam when I was a child, growing up in Essex Co.
        Looking forward to hearing back from you
