Somerville
I would like to say thank you to Jerry Watson, who responded to one of my queries on Genforum.  He supplied the parents, grandparents and greatgrandparents for my "brick wall" Ernest Somerville.  Ernest is not his direct line, our lines connect somewhere back in the 1700s - my Samuel is a brother to his James.  I will try to finish adding the info from Jerry as soon as possible!

Also Carla Underwood provided significant information on this Somerville line by sending me a copy of "Descendants of Jonathon C. Sheppard".
