The Whetstone Connection

Yes, it should be noted that my great-grandmother had some distant cousins of the surname Whetstone. However, Sharon Whetstone should know that she is not related to us and our Whetstone connections. I did spend some time on Ancestry.com checking this out and I don't see any connection between our Whetstone connections and Sharon. I should not have to explain this basic data to the entire planet when this elementary fact is as obvious as the nose on your face, figuratively speaking of course. Our Whetstone connection is complicated to explain because it comes down through the Smiths but still there is no connection to Sharon and no reason for Sharon and her crew to imagine that they are related to us and the Smiths either for that matter, not to be confused with those other millions of Smiths to whom we are not related. Enough said about that. Of course, we are not going to trace this back to the Middle Ages of Merry Old Englande. I suppose there could be a connection somewhere in the dawn of history, perhaps before the invention of the alphabet, but that would be of no concern to us in the present 19th century milieu of northern Pennsylvania and/or upstate New York. If you dig a little deeper you will see that Sharon is just a Nebraska prairie dog so obviously there is no connection to our family's ancient Whetstone connection.
