It is tempting to believe that the Thomas Clagues were one and the same person - can I ask you where you found Robert's birth? I would like to find out more about the Clagues as Margaret was my great grandmother. At present I have more on the Collisters. Where is your connection to the tree?

Is aanyone else researching this branch?
