    1. Charts 250 feet worth--7th Annual Norwood Reunion
    2. Jane Thursby
    3. The dealine for getting your money in for the reunion is rapidly arriving. April 15th for money, April 24th for reunion. Plenty of parking and room to spread out with your family, pictures, and memorabilia. ANNOUCEMENT: We now have charts covering EVERYONE that Kitty has in her database. The chart from last year has not, however, been updated so the new people Kitty has added to her own line will be covered in a listing. The new charts add up to about 220' (yes, that is feet) of charts. Adding that to the 30 feet of the Thomas M. Norwood chart, we now have charts totaling 250'. We have also put together a listing of everyone's name with on what chart(s) they appear. Because of how the charts needed to be created (there is a 30' limit per chart) this could mean a group could appear on more than one chart. If, however, a person is related twice to the same chart group, they will appear on that chart once with full information and the other times with just their name and the note "This is a duplicate person". If you see this look for them on the same chart again closer to the top. Come spend some time finding your ancestors and YOURSELF. If you are not there or your information is wrong, then you haven't sent it to Kitty (or she has made a mistake--NO, can't be that). Don't forget to bring pictures and other family information to share and scan. Let's get this right. Now, Kitty--About who you have as the children for Nehemia Moxley and Elizabeth Norwood---hmmmmmmm. ================================================ COME EARLY – DOORS OPEN AT 2:00 PM There will be refreshments before dinner. Dinner at 5:00 PM catered by Mountain Gate of Thurmont, Maryland The Fire Activities Building Twin Arch Rd. and Rt. 27 Mt Airy, Maryland $13.00 per person.

    1. 4 weeks until--7th Annual Norwood Reunion
    2. Jane Thursby
    3. This reunion is different than any other reunion I attend. We are both family and genealogy oriented. Some people come just to hook up with other relatives with the same interests. I am a Norwood, Watkins, Claggett, Moxley, Mullinix, Beall, Lewis, Shipley, Barnes, and several others. I have met relatives from each of these familes at the reunion. Last year I met a 3rd Cousin from my Watkins family. The next day I was at his house sharing more information. This is a fun reunion without games or auctions. Just good talk and information sharing. We will have Doris Day, a Norwood Cousin, doing a spinning demonstration. SUNDAY APRIL 24th 7th ANNUAL NORWOOD REUNION Surname list in order of frequency count.

    1. Imminently Threatened by Development: The LaGrange (Barczewski) farm in Glasgow, DE
    2. Historic Glasgow Park
    3. Imminently Threatened by Development: The LaGrange (Barczewski) farm in Glasgow, DE Several private firms are aggressively attempting to purchase and then immediately develop the entire Barczewski farm (also known as the La Grange or Dr. Samuel Henry Black farm). This property is crisscrossed by state and Federally recognized wetlands and over 1 mile of drainage, is in the Christiana watershed, contains part of the Glasgow recharge aquafer, and is bounded by over 3/4 mile of the Muddy Run Creek. The 136 acres of woods on the farm are in a US Department of Agriculture's local National Resources Conservation Service long-term tree management plan. The Barczewski farm's 236 acres contain two documented Native American Indian camps, earthen works from the British and Hessian occupation of Aikentown (Glasgow), remnants of the Benjamin Latrobe feeder canal from 1804, and several structures on the National Register of Historic Places (Dr. Samuel Henry Black). Dorcas Armitage Middleton Black was the wife of Samuel H. Black. General Lafayette named the farm "La Grange" while a visitor there in October 1824. The Federal US Censuses of 1810 and 1820 for DE/NCCo/Pencader Hundred, show that there were three FREE African-Americans (unnamed - husband, wife, and daughter) who were part of Dr. Samuel H. Black's household. The farm is located near the northwest corner of Routes U.S. 40 and Del. 896 in Glasgow (New Castle County, Pencader Hundred), and is comprised of a single tract of 236 acres. Approximately 100 acres are pastures, and approximately 136 acres are wooded. The Muddy Run creek and some of its tributaries run through and form the 3/4 of a mile of the northern boundary of the property. This property contains the historic home and farm of Glasgow's early physician, University of DE trustee, and state politician, Dr. Samuel Henry Black. The land, however, had been farmed for over 100 years before Dr. Black acquired it. The property has a carefully restored historic home and preserved granary, each dating to 1815, and more recent barns and outbuildings dating to the property's days in the 1940s through 1960s as the West End Dairy farm. Other family names associated over time with this farm include Middleton, Frazier, Leasure, Congo, Cooch, and Veach. Dr. Samuel H. Black built the property's granary. The building incorporates consolidated storage and processing functions and wheeled vehicle access. This building is the earliest documented example of a drive-through granary of the type that was to become popular throughout the Northeastern U.S. in the mid-19th century. In July 1974, the large manor Federal period home and the granary were incorporated into the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places (NRHP #74000601). Areas of NRHP significance of this property include Health/Medicine, Architecture, Social History, and Agriculture. In 1985, the La Grange granary was incorporated into the highly selective Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) / Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) conducted by the US Department of the Interior and maintained by the US Library of Congress (Survey # HABS DE-216). There are two archeologist documented Native American encampment sites on the La Grange farm (the Butterworth and the Barczewski sites). These sites date from 10,000 BC to 6,500 BC. Many authentic Paleo-Indian and Early Archaic periods' arrow points, axe heads, and other stone implements have been found on the farm. In the farm's woods there are authenticated, intact remains of British and Hessian earthen trenches from the September 3, 1777, Revolutionary War battle of Cooch's bridge. The trenches run parallel to the remnants of a historic and ancient, but now abandoned road, of which the last remaining vestiges exist on the LaGrange Farm. The earthworks are also parallel Rt. 40 West from Glasgow, DE, to Elkton, MD, and face Iron Hill. There is also documented evidence on the farm of Benjamin Latrobe's venture to build a feeder canal in 1804 (New Castle County Historical Marker NC-59). The feeder canal remnants are intact. The canal was to be built from the Elk Creek to the Christiana River, with the ultimate goal of the canal connecting the Delaware and Chesapeake waterways. The project failed, however, because the state of Delaware ran out of money before the canal was completed. The remnants of the feeder canal run from Rt. 40 West through the La Grange farm. In 1996, Anne Barczewski was honored with a prestigious historic preservation award from the New Castle County Historic Preservation Review Board. The Board placed a protective Historic Zoning overlay upon the entire 236 acres of the La Grange farm. In 1997, Anne Barczewski was recognized as Delaware's Tree Farmer of the Year. On June 27, 1997, Anne Barczewski told preservation advocates, "If it was my last word, my last breath, I'd say 'no' to a developer." If you would like to help protect this property from development and permanently preserve its historic, cultural, and natural resources for future generations, please contact The Friends of Historic Glasgow, ATTN: Nancy V. Willing, 5 Francis Circle, Newark, DE 19711. Telephone: (302) 366-1855.

    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Clark/Patterson/Leonard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wEB.2ACE/130 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on these individuals. A entry on one of the lds sites gives her name as Susan (Clark) and another as Susan(Clark)Pittman/Patterson from MD county unknown but married my ggg grandfather Matthew Leonard some time between 1768-1774. A son William may have been the first born around 1774-1775 in Louden county Va. I cannot find a marriage bond in Louden or any of the surrounding counties so they may have married in Md. Susan's birth could be anytime between 1745-1755. Matthew was born in Ireland any time between 1740--1750. Any info much appreciated. Nora
