Darn good thing Charlotte was my ancestor, for I would have wasted my $34.97 + tax. In my opinion, it doesn't live up to Sally ARMSTRONG's impressive credentials as a writer. Yes Charlotte was quite a woman, though I'd already known that from other descendants who had researched her over the course of many years. Her 2 x great-granddaughter married a fellow from Bedford/Sackville Halifax Co (my g-gp), in 1892. They had 9 children, majority of whom stayed in NS. Most of them also had large familys (my grandparents also had 9 & 47 grandchildren). So there are more than just a few descendants still around NS. Sadly Sally also protrayed Phillip HIERLIHY in a very poor, inaccurate light, which I think would upset some of his descendants .. know it did me. Phillip's brother or uncle .. relationship is not entirely clear, but thought to be his brother ... Timothy HIERLIHY was the founder of Antigonish. I had not known that until recently. Are you another descendant? Toni ~ Ontario
This week, I had discovered the informative website for Charlotte: Charlotte Taylor - Her Life and Times <http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/charlotte_taylor/index.htm>: Diana Trena wrote: >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Doug @ Judy" >Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 9:01 PM >Subject: Re: [NS-L] Confusing Family Relationships > > > > >>Trena - Are aware a book was recently released on the life of Chalotte >>Taylor?
