Nancy,

It was the elder Corinne I was referring to, Corinne Quarterman Way,
daughter of Alexander Sanford Quarterman and Ann Caroline Quarterman.
The elder Corinne married Albert Morse Way, who was the younger Corinne's
father.

That explains how both Albert Morse Way and Joseph Edgar Way are descended
from Edward Way (c1710-1762or1763), but by different numbers of generations.

Second cousin twice removed.

I'm also descended from Edward Way, so we're also related through that line.

And Edward Way was a son of William Way Jr. of the witch trial story.

She inherited the Quarterman long lifespan, I see.

In our database we have a Norman Alexander Way b. 1899,
who was apparently her younger brother, but not her.

Midway Museum in Midway, Ga. Historical Soc. in Savannah, U. Ga. Library
in Athens, Valdosta Public Library, Valdosta-Lowndes County Historical
Society, etc., all have copies, as well as probably others.
I think there's one in Vidalia and one in Homerville, for example.
