General Notes: gave power of attornery to John Trimple, aug 17, 1753 ???? double check
Not sure if actually Alexander's Son. No mention of him in supposed father's will. I'm thinking maybe son of a different brother. double check birth dates of the other Johns in his generation.

That's all I know of Cynthia. I don't look down the female lines. I will get around to finding when/where she got married, when she died, and where she's buried. But females are a second priority to me, since they don't continue the family name. (That may sound horribly sexist of me, but my maiden name is McComas, and it saddens me that I can't carry my family's name on)
