I, too, would be interested in hearing from the poster who has information on this Mortimore family. I am a descendant of a Mortimer who ended up in Mississippi, but we can't go any further back than our great great grandfather -- and his story is shrouded in history. Perhaps there is a connection here?

Someone sent this to me, so I don't know it's origin. INTERESTING IF TRUE The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500's: 1. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. 2. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." 3. Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs." 4. There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. 5. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a "thresh hold." (Getting quite an education, aren't you?) 6. In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." 7. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." 8. Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. 9. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust." 10. Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." 11. England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer." And that's the truth... Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! ! Educate someone...Share these facts with a friend. Betty Pace

The following information came from W. Hinshaw's book "Hinshaw Encylopedia for Quaker Genealogy, Vol. I". I have that Phillip Ham died on May 28, 1814 at age 74 years old. He was married to Priscilla Saunders b. May 10, 1817 and died December 5, 1781, daughter of John Saunders and Jane (-?-) Known children were: Hezekiah (1768-?) married Sarah Stewart on Jun. 9, 1787 in Guilford County, N.C., Jane (1771), John (1775-1819), Elizabeth (1776-?) married Mr. Johnson, Joel (1778) and Anne (1779). Hinshaw - p. 781 - Deep River MM Phillip Ham Priscilla Ham Ch: Hezekiah b. 12-15-1768 Jane b. 2-15-1771 John b. 9-10-1773, d. 2-25-1819 Elizabeth b. 1-28-1776 Joel b. 3-19-1778, d. 4-10-1778 Ann b. 2-16-1779 Hezekiah Ham Sarah (Stewart) Ham On same page, 8 children John Ham Elizabeth Ham On same page, 2 children Same page at botton: Philip Ham d. 5-28-1814, age 74 years Priscilla Ham, wife of Philip, dau. of John & Jane Sanders, b. 10 May .., d. 12 April 17_1 My digital copy from Family Archives is unreadable for those dates. p. 812 1 Mar 1784. Philip declared intention of marriage to Mary Mendenhall; intention discontinued 5 mo 6 Sep 1789. Hezekiah, son of Philip & Priscilla, Guilford co., married Sarah Stewart 5 May 1800. John condemned for his marriage out of unity (outside the church) 7 Feb 1803. Elizabeth Johnson (formerly Ham) disowned for marriage out of unity. 6 Jun 1803. Ann Johnson (formerly Ham) disowned for marriage out of unity p. 791 John Sanders d. 3-14-1790, bur. 15th, aged about 85 years. Jane Sanders d. 10-1 or 2-1793 p. 570 26 Dec 1767 - Priscilla Ham (formerly Sanders) of Deep River, disowned for marriage out of unity My guess would be that the b. date for Priscilla would be 1747. That would make her 20 yr old at marriage. The Sanders family was not listed in Hinshaw. My suggestion would be to go to a library and see a good copy of Hinshaw.

Mona, We were looking forward to meeting you. ----- Original Message ----- From: M.

Unfortunately, I'm still not working, my house in Arizona still has not sold, and I'm cutting expenses where I can. I'm sorry to do that to you when I said that I would attend, but I hope that you'll give me another opportunity some time in the future. Hope all is well with you. Thanks Katherine. Maybe we can do lunch again some time?
