      The 1699 birthdate as given on the PAF cannot be correct as Rev. John
      would be 86 upon his last child's birth. Nancy (Ann) was born ca 1785.
      The date of 1720 is probably closer to the truth.

      Families tied into the Gerards (directly or indirectly) were the Van
      Metre, Dubois, Sheperd, Hite..pps. 254-264 from West Virginia Families
      show origins of these families as being near Pelmel , along the
      Potomoc
      R. , in Prince Georges County, Md; earlier origins might have been Salem
      County,
      N.J., even earlier in Long Island, N.Y.
