    3. "Attempt to Burn John Harris in the Year 1720" This is a lithograph that the family of my distant relative, Bucher AYRES, the oldest brother of George Bucher AYRES and son of William AYRES of Harrisburg, donated to the Historical Society. Apparently, I am thinking, it was the last copy available! It is mentioned in EGLE's Notes & Queries. I am learning a lot about this fellow. And, marvel of marvels, believe it or not! I found a photo of he and his wife on the web, available to a family member. For the two, I paid $52. They should arrive tomorrow or the next day. Also, I found a great fellow who had a copy of Bucher AYRES' "History of the Stewart Family." His wife's mother was a STEWART, dating back to the Royal House of Stewart... Unfortunately, the copy of the brochure had annotations all mixed in, and confusing the original booklet, by one Minnehaha FINNEY. I am hoping someone will have a copy that is older than that, lacking her interference, even if well intended, by an intelligent person. Yes, she was educated, and she was an authoress. She was from Sterling, Kansas, and she was a Stewart descendant. But she did the unforgivable. She tampered with a document of another. And without totally annotating her moves! At any rate, all help will be much appreciated. I intend to make this available, including scans of Bucher and Jane Alice Lyon AYRES, to the public, free of charge, perhaps on USGenWeb... Thanks, Vincent E. Summers
