 My mistake Loo
 When i wrote them out out[ after scribbling them in a notebook] i logged them by name and dates and must have written Adam A underneath John and Helen
 so when i came to send them to you it looked like two graves.
 They are all on the one gravestone and Adam died 1808. I must have misprinted this the first time i sent it .
