www.suffolkchurches.co.uk This is a site that I find most interesting and have spent hours here just looking at the pictures and reading the information concerning these churches. I have no one from this area of England, but am most interested in history. For those of you that like history or have folks from this Suffolk area of England then you will surely enjoy this web page. When you first go into it don't be slowed down when you see the medallion on the front. It came from one of the churches.. just click on the enter and enjoy.... It will take literally hours to see and read all the information here.. Enjoy. Jeannie <>< list mom

Well I thought that your email was one I have seen before ..... Have you gotten it straightened out yet? Every time they update anything at rootsweb it sends everything in a tizzy....

Happy Independence Day. I AM THE FLAG OF THE      UNITED STATES OF AMERICA I am the flag of the United States of America. My name is Old Glory. I fly atop the world's tallest buildings. I stand watch in America's halls of justice. I fly majestically over institutions of learning. I stand guard with power in the world. Look up and see me. I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice. I stand for freedom. I am confident. I am arrogant. I am proud. When I am flown with my fellow banners, my head is a little higher, my colors a little truer. I bow to no one! I am recognized all over the world. I am worshipped - I am saluted. I am loved - I am revered. I am respected - and I am feared. I have fought in every battle of every war for more then 200 years. I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox. I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy, Guam. Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam now me, I was there. I led my troops, I was dirty, battleworn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me And I was proud. I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries I have helped set free. It does not hurt, for I am invincible. I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled on the streets of my country. And when it's by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts. But I shall overcome - for I am strong. I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon. I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours. But my finest hours are yet to come. When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battlefield, When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier, Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I am proud.   MY NAME IS OLD GLORY   LONG MAY I WAVE.   DEAR GOD IN  HEAVEN LONG MAY I WAVE

Hi every one.... I rec'd this, this p.m... have a houseful of company and haven't had a chance to review it, but thought that the rest of you may want to...... Sounds interesting to me..... and I will get to it as soon as I can... we are never to old to learn new things..... Jeannie <>< list mom -----Original Message----- From: Jim Elbrecht [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2001 12:14 PM To: Jeannie Dalrymple Subject: Re: PML Search Result matching ("declaration of independence" or DOI) and (signer or signers or signed) Jeannie, I'm sure your heart is in the right place-but if you're interested in history, you might be surprised to learn that most of 'facts' in that piece are stretching things. The biggies; Only one of the signers captured was not performing his duties as a soldier when captured. [and probably 6 or more were captured in all] Nine died during the revolution-but none at the hands of the British. [though a few were wounded in military actions] None lost 'all he owned' -- most particularly, not Thomas Nelson- who did certainly contribute massive sums of money as well as his expertise at great personal sacrifice.. . But in spite of the war he died one of the wealthiest men in VA in 1789. Most of all-I have yet to find any indication that the British paid any attention at all to the Declaration or its signers during the war. [actually, we paid little mind to it ourselves until the 1820s, which is why it is so difficult to track down facts about the Signers] I have detailed corrections to the published essay which most closely resembles this email at http://home.nycap.rr.com/elbrecht/signers/HARVEY-reb.htm and a bibliography page if you'd like to read more about the Signers at http://home.nycap.rr.com/elbrecht/signers/BIBLIOG.htm Jim On Tue, 3 Jul 2001 11:15:22 -0600, you wrote: >===================================================================== >A result of your requested PML search.

Thank you for this bit of history. Priscilla ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeannie Dalrymple Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2001 11:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [KYMONTGO-L] tid-bits, R.W.& B. ..... jd <>< list mom Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Continental Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants Nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time, and we fought our own government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid. Remember freedom is never free! It's time we get the word out that patriotism is not a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games. ==== KYMONTGO Mailing List ==== shh, be verrrry quiet.......I am hunting forebears.

Hello Paul, I am helping a friend. His name is Ed Hall. So I will forward your e-mail to him. I do know this much.... His family always referred to this person as EDWIN R. HALL. (but the death certificate says Edward; we think that the latter is a typo.) Anyway, the July 16, 1924 KY Death Certificate indicates that he was a retired farmer, age 89. (So he was born ABT. 1835.) I would suspect that your HALL's and my friends HALL's are cousins. Thanks, Deborah

I was just at the Mt. Sterling library yesterday. In a file cabintet in the Kentucky Room they have cemetery records, including those for Macpelah. Good luck. Kathy
