We have had a genealogical mystery for years and there are over 20 of us trying to research this. We have known for years of our Jacob Blair I marrying an Indian (we thought Cherokee) named PRINCESS SANDUSKA.....somewhere we were told in a place called the Big L in Pennyslvania. We have never been able to find such a place. Then lo and behold we find out there are Indians that are called the Sandusky Indians. Very very close to our Indian's name. Is it possible that the Big L is somewhere in your county? Is there any information or resources on the Sandusky Indians? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much , John Blair !^NavFont02F03040006NGHHJM9BA0 Maggie's World of Courthouse Dust & Genealogy Fever http://www.infinet.com/~dzimmerm/mindex.html *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* God Put Me On Earth to Accomplish a Certain Number of Things.

Hi Everyone, This was posted on one of my other lists and I thought you might be interested. Maggie ------------------------------------------------------------------ FORWARDED MESSAGE - Orig: 7-Aug-98 7:22 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The following article appeared in this weeks Vermilion local newspaper: Migration Info Bill O'Brien, of the Inland Seas Museum, and I met with Ms. Lois Cunniff the other day about her project of obtaining historical data on the great migration of Connecticut pioneers into the Western Reserve territory in the years 1790-1830. Cuniff has grants from Connecticut and Ohio to complete a CT-OH Western Reserve Film Project. This will be shown on PBS and throughout the schools in telling a portion of American history that has more or less been forgotten, and yet it was the seeding by people of the great Northwest territory. Stories, incidents, events, diaries about the trip from CT by horse, oxen, walking, or by water would provide basic material to expose the migration, just the stuff Cunniff needs to complete the project. Also stories and experiences of the pioneers in settling the new lands is required. Anyone having a link to add to this historical chain can forward it to this address: Lois Cunniff Productions, Inc,. 27 Washington Sq. N. #2C, New York, N.Y. 10011, 212-477-5055.

There is a great orchard in Huron Co. By coincidence my mother and I are driving up there today to pick some and then can them at her cousin's place in Norwalk. The name of the place is Walchers Orchards. It is in the Fitchville / Greenwich area. I am sorry I don't have the exact location. But if you get anywhere near that area, the locals could give you exact directions. We have gone there many times before, and the peaches have been wonderful! Good Luck. Lauren

Jim Couldn't get through on the address on your msg. So..... Peach Orchards that I know about are: Burnham Orchards, 8-6 Daily, 2 mi. east of Berlin Heights on Rt. 113. AA Phillips & Son, Downtown Berlin Heights Quarry Hill Orchards, 8403 Mason Rd., 1 mi east of Rt 61 in Berlin Heights. There are also orchard on Marblehead, but because of the construction going on at the Edison Bridge, (Rt 2 & 6 over Sandusky Bay), I would not recommend them. Traffic can be horrendous.

The name was for its time obviour because it was Downstream on the Sandusky River from Upper Sandusky. Several Years ago I traveled, I think, Route 20 towards Toledo. Along the side of the road a few of the original milestones were still in place. On one side were the letters "LS" for Lower Sandusky and a number. On the other side was the letter "P" for Perrysburg and a number. the numbers, of course, were the miles to the respective cities. I don't know when the change was made.
