I received a message today through ancestry.com from a Westervelt descendant. Susan Ann (Westervelt) Newcomb is one of my temporary brickwall ancestors. Temporary because I haven't really done "reasonably exhaustive research" and chances are good her parent's names are out there somewhere. If her ancestor and my Susan were brother and sister, that might make it easier to identify their parents, if they are listed together on a record such as a probate record. So I may spend a little time this cold winter day seeing what I can find!
