I am posting this letter from Tom as it may be of importance to a cousin. Or maybe perk an interest? ~Gypsy~ Sure...Cousin! Would like to join. I Visited my mother in hospital in Torrance, CA. and came back with 20's letter where one cousin visited Halifax, Mass...the farm of my great great grandfather Orin S. Bearce. I also saw pictures of his wife... I notice the name Eliza Jane Bearce crops up in several families. Picture of my great-great grandfather sure looks like he has Indian blood in him. Take care. Enjoy your messages. Tom
