I am allergic to a raw potato held in my hand and I will break out in hives if I try to peel a potato. So, like Grandma, I cook them with their jackets on. And eat the jackets, too.

I forgot there was one other brother who went to Oregon. I know very little about him. He may have been the first one to go in the US Cavalry. He was living with his sister in 1880. He was George Allen Armstrong. I descend from their half brother Christopher who homesteaded in Oklahoma. ** 1850 Indiana State Census, Chester Township, Wabash Co.

The pilgrims were primarily Presbyterians. After they has assinated the Archbishop of St Andrews, they became hunted and killed. One of the popular means of dispatch was to tie them to a stake in the tidal flats of a bay. Then slowly watch them drown. That is the motivation for the words "You take the high road, and I'll take the low road, and you'll be in Scotland before me." They learned fast. They became the most cruel ruling government America has ever known. Ken Kimble

Hey, Bob, You lost me now...I was just answering Marylin's question about not being able to find much about the Winthrop Fleet by Googling for it...just thought that Winthrop Society site was very helpful. I'm not sure if you have me mixed up with Marylin who asked the original question...there are so many people of a similar moniker right now that I'm not surprised if anybody is confused. I wonder if there's a rootsweb list for the Winthrop Group...would not be surprised if there is. Cousin Marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert E.

That's really nice, Mary. Glad you enjoy it! It's really interesting how all of a sudden the list has become so busy and active, even if it's mostly OT right now.

Thanks, Bob...I think Marylin said she had already tried looking for the Winthrop fleet and hadn't found what she wanted. That Winthrop Society website is very good...lots of info, even portraits.

Sorry, Cousin Marilyn, I connected with these Puritan folks a couple years back. My wife had an ancestor, Ralph Tompkins, who was a passenger on the True Love which arrived on Sept 25, 1635. My connection came with the earlier group. Thomas Matson and Amy Chambers in 1630. My Armstrongs didn't get here until 1803. I suspect you are correct about a Winthrop group on the net.

My grandmother was a Maine lady from many generations of Mainers. She had a lot of uses for rhubarb besides pie...rhubarb sauce, for one. It was just rhubarb, sliced, poached until tender with a little water, sweetened with sugar. We just ate that in a bowl. Then there was "spring tonic" which, I think, was the concentrated liquid from cooking rhubarb in a small amount of water...if anybody knows what too much rhubarb will do to you, I think that's why it was called spring tonic: it cleaned folks out and got them going after a long winter, or I suppose that's what it did. (Thanks goodness I never had to try it!) Also, if she had indigestion, she had a blue bottle from the pharmacist of "rhubarb and soda" which I think was probably bicarbonate of soda and some concentrated rhubarb "juice." Rhubarb, in these parts, anyway, is the first plant that pokes through the still icy earth in the garden and is the first fresh plant available, especially in the olden days when you couldn't buy strawberries from Florida or California in the market, for sauces and pies and other goodies. No wonder it was called "pie plant." Although it's a vegetable, it's use is that of a fruit. The leaves of rhubarb are poisonous...I believe they are loaded with oxalic acid ( or some such)...but the stalks are very useful. Besides using it for pies, tarts, upside-down cake, fruit bread, jam, conserve, etc., I like to cook rhubarb, add sugar, then strain the rhubarb and use the sweetened "juice" for punch. It's terrific mixed with lemonade. People don't know what the flavor is, but love it, and I've had people who say they hate rhubarb love rhubarb punch. And, of course, there's John up in Alaska making his rhubarb wine... I remember when I was a little girl my grandmother would tell me that the huge leaves, made lacey courtesy of some kind of chewing insect, were parasols to make shade for garden fairies...kind of a nice image.

Dear Marilyn, Governor Winthrop brought a fleet of ships to Massachusetts in 1630. Try looking up "The Winthrop Fleet." A second smaller group of ships came in 1635.

I cant connect to any Armstrong's in Oregon as yet. My Armstrong's are said to be from England to Canada to the US in MN., MI., and WI. with one daughter going to CA. Her name was Elizabeth (Betsey) Armstrong and she married the brother to my gg grandfather Charles Hodges who married Mary Ellen Armstrong. They were the daughters of George Armstrong and Mary Ellen Kline or Cline (it is said that she was a short German woman so I am inclined to think it is spelled with a K). Charles and Benjamin Hodges are the sons of Josiah (sometimes called John in census) and Nancy Hart. Elizabeth being the older sister and Benjamin being the older brother. Other children of George and Mary Armstrong are Allen, Elijah and Katheryn. There may be more that I don't know of. I've heard that there was a John but haven't been able to find him. Other children of Josiah and Nancy Hodges are John, Thomas, Elmira, Abigail and George. I have found this family in the 1850 census in ME. the 1860 in WI. and the 1870 in MN. But am unable to find the Armstrong's anywhere in the US census with the exception of Mary Armstrong Hodges in MN. in 1870 and Elizabeth Armstrong Hodges in CA. I believe it was the 1900. Charles Hodges died about June of 1872 and Mary Armstrong Hodges married a man by the surname of Crawford nothing else is known except that the Hodges boys (William and Frank) didn't like their step father and went to live with uncles in NE. I don't know if these uncles were Hodges or Armstrong. So you see I haven't much to go on.

I, for one, would rather have a plate of grits. Maybe even a peacock pot pie. Tom C.
