It's probably the closest to Bailey and 230th. Will have to check and see if they still have records. BTW, what elementary school/high school did you go to? I grew up a few blocks from you on W. 228th St. (off B'way). I was born in '36 too... Jackie Ogden (formerly Bunnell)

Westchester is the place where my Thwaites family settled after leaving England in the early and middle 1800's. They appear to have been buried in St. Peter's Church cemetery in Westchester, also some of them worked for the Bolton Bleach Factory in Westchester. Kind regards, Pat

Before the Bronx River Parkway was built around 1908, there would have been a sloping hill down to the Bronx River. Bronx Park East runs parallel to the parkway.This is near the Bronx Zoo and NY Botanical gardens. There was also a Thwaites Inn on City Island that was a well known restaurant. It was a very old building and was once an inn and owned by a Thwaites family. It has since been torn down. Prior to 1900 there was very little in the area. It was mostly farms and wilderness. It is very likely that they are your family. In fact the area was part of Westchester until after WWI
