I so wanted to go to the conference in August, but it was the same week my son got married. Just couldn't figure out a way to squeeze both in. It would have been a great time to do more digging. I'll let you know if I ever head back (no more family there so fewer excuses).Susan Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009218875010743399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542530643192060714.post-56277089175152635892011-01-17T22:13:40.114-06:002011-01-17T22:13:40.114-06:00That is so exciting!

I stopped by Chestnut Hill when I was on my way back from the FGS conference in August. I could not find this cemetery, but I still enjoyed driving around the area. It's so pretty!Jennifer Sepulvadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167830746219581066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542530643192060714.post-77723363415429987802011-01-17T16:54:49.976-06:002011-01-17T16:54:49.976-06:00We have a connection here.

I haven't done any research on the family beyond placing William with Samuel & Sarah in the 1850 & 1860 census listings.Susan Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009218875010743399noreply@blogger.com
