Nice to make your aquainance, cousin. I haven't stopped to figure us out.4th sounds good. I see our connection with your Maria & my Jackson Delamater. I have the Connecting with our Past : Claude LeMaitre Book by Philip Delamarter. I also contributed our Jackson Delamater & Elizabeth Hollister lines down to present day, including our granddaughter born in 2001, just before printing. Do you have the book? or seen it? When recently visiting the Allen co Library in Fort Wayne, IN, I was amazed to find it there. Where do you live?, I am in Novi, MI. My Mom's cousin, Nancy Clark Lake lives in Jackson and has taken us around to the Highland cemetery in Columbia and showed us the farm and other Johnson family highlights, where my Mom was born in Jackson, etc. I really only get to Jackson about once a year, for the last couple of years. You asked if I wanted more info on recent cousins?, Is that a joke? to us genealogists. Certainly would. In my book I show Maria & Hiram Tuthill's family are Burr, Frances & Mary. Where do you fit in? My Grandparents were James Andrews & Edith Johnson, both from Jackson. My Mom Joan Patricia Andrews & her sisters were born there as well. They all came to Detroit area when my Mom was about 6, 1934ist. My GGrandparents George Johnson & Florence Delamater, both buried in Highland cemetery, Brooklyn, MI My GGGrandparents Jackson Delamater & Elizabeth Hollister both buried in Highland cemetery as well. Do you have any family photos you would share? Hope to hear back from you soon Kathy Lombardi mzfmlytr@cs.com
