Greetings! Just wanted to mention that I had the opportunity to meet a direct descendant of a West Springfield gravestone cutter I've been researching for the past six months, John Ely b. 1735 d. 1815. We met indirectly through the list and spent an afternoon *meeting* his family as he passed through on his way from New Mexico to New Hampshire. Thanks, Cyndy, for bringing us all together here! Here's a link on the book I recently published on the gravestones found here in town - gives you a little background on the research I'm doing: http://www.dogpondpress.net/images/Covers/AgaAdv.jpg I'm always eager to share info about burying grounds and stonecutters - let me know if I can help with your research.
