Thank you Jefff and Mike for your feedback. Something interesting - my cousin mentioned that in the Declaration of Independence, when there were two s's, the first one was done in a long form, like an f. So the abbreviation in Mary Smith's letters were, indeed for Miss!

I checked the Surname Registry on the website for Machen, but unfortunately, there appears to be no one interested in that name. If would have been good information for someone to have. Anyway it is now on the Forum if someone searches in the future.

Thank you again for your help. I really appreciate it.
