Lesley, Please respond to sscook@mindspring.com regarding the 3rd Resurvey of Sarah's Delight. I sent you another e-mail and am very anxious to correspond with you on this. If I am right, I believe my family has owned a farm for four generations on this land, and my father and mother are still there and own it. Please, please, please respond! Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Lesley Shockey <lshockey@citynet.net> To: PAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com <PAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, February 02, 2000 8:49 PM Subject: Re: [PAFRANKL] Pen Mar >There was a large amusement park located on top of the >mountain.
