James Vaux and Mary Palmer are my fourth great-grandparents.  They had ten children between 1810 and 1831, all in South Petherton, and emigrated in 1832 to Aurora, Erie County, New York.  I am descended through their son, Samuel Vaux (1816-1880) who married Mary Ann Underhill (1815-1883).  

Lookee there - signatures of James Vaux and Mary Palmer.  How cool is that?
