WOW,so interesting. my grandmas people were from Scotland,Skenes rumored to be Druids. One of my grandfathers was raised by Tecumseh's tribe they scalped my grandma,killed 3 boys & kept Peter Waggoner for 20 years. When his father found out he was alive he went after him & begged him to come home for a visit. They wouldn't let him go back to his Indian family,kept him locked up & drunk, then started sending a pretty young widow to feed him & he married her & stayed with the family. my grandma that was scalped was a cousin to Lewis Wetzel the Indian killer. Maybe we can find some relatives on this board ?

I am related to him too. My g grandmother was a White. She was born in 1888 and lived to be 101. I remember going to her house as a child and had homemade noodles and chicken, fresh raspberries in the summer.I still make the noodles. She was a quilter, I have several of her quilts-one unfinished, one of the last ones she made was for my son when he was born in 1980, I have her quilting frames, and a rocking chair which she carried from the store, took a bus home and carried it up a hill to her home.Always thought she was widowed with 2 daughters, but he left her and remarried someone in the mid-west.
My maternal grandfather's family lived on their piece of property since the 1600's in SW Pa.

I go back to Salem, MA and have 2 of the girls in the Towne family that were "accused" witches-one hung, the other was imprisoned in Boston for a while (both are Gr Gr..grandmothers from different family lines). One of their brothers I just discovered was a gr ..grandfather of my husband so we are 10th cousins!!

When my daughter started researching my father's family in England she found a lot of working class ancestors -- many were domestic servants-- and then great excitement-- in one census she found that the family had a servant themselves! (They had temporarily moved up in the world)
On my mother's side we found a few convicts sent out to Australia from England -- but that is a source of pride for anyone in Australia studying their ancestry.
