This has been great fun to read! Daniel Boone has a lot of quilting decendants!
On my mom's side great, great grandpa Fleischman drove the Liberty Bell from the Chicago train station to the Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in the late 1800's. He got the job as he could drive his team of 12 black horses and the beer wagon backwards down the alley to the tavern.
On daddy;s side his great grandparents lost six children to cholorea in one week in the early 1900's. They went on to have six more children-my grandpa was the youngest.
Now I have to research putting an avatar on here.
