Hi, Mary.  I wish that I could help, but unfortunately, I don't have any additional information on the Appin branch of this family.
With best regards,

Hi, Sandra.  I can do that.  It might be better for me to say that there is no moderator research required, otherwise it is misleading as my research is far from being perfect or complete.  As I stated previously, my research is only a beginning point for someone who has an interest in this family.

For research purposes.  This is only a starting point
that has many errors.
