My brother Tom up in New York has been working with me in trying to unearth family history that we never knew as kids (Family schisms: Don't ask).
He just found a long-forgotten monograph on the Vails of NY and NJ that reveals the shocking truth -- in the old days, our family was full of Quakers!!
I'm going to need to do some serious reading to sort out all the connections. But it's a big clue to why my branch of the Vails doesn't have a military history to speak of, and that we all talk funny.
