When she died in 1906, one of her children ended up in Philadelphia. This sounds as though the HAMPSON family was tied together in this rather small area. Can you give me any HAMPSON data on connections which might have existed between Tarrytown, Newark and Philadelphia? Bob Robert Sheldon Telford, Long Beach, CA
