Hi John, Is this the message that didn't come through? I googled up the following: Warm regards, Jane <A HREF="http://www.google.com/help/features.html#cached"> cache</A> of <A HREF="http://www.ancestry.aol.com/library/view/news/articles/dailynews.asp">http://www.ancestry.aol.com/library/view/news/articles/dailynews.asp</A> Clipping of the Day : The number of prisoners who died in dungeons and prison ships near New York during the Revolutionary War, was 11,000. They were buried in pits and graves, and thus remained till 1803, when they were gathered together, and in 1808 they were deposited in a vault erected for that purpose, in Brooklyn; but that has now become dilapidated; and an association of Brooklyn has been formed to remove the remains to Old Fort Greene, and erect a suitable monument over them.
