Dave woke up after tossing and turning yet another night, 6 feet deep in Muskingum River aluvial soil. He had a restless night thinking about his parents and siblings who are as of this date unmercifully forgotten by all of their descendants, save Peter, who has been valiantly seeking to resurrect their memory and to venerate their deeds and issue. I know it is difficult to imagine the remains of a man who died in October 1826 in Washington County Ohio being in discomfort. But you know, our ancestral searchings and successes may provide succor for those who fell prey to that dreaded irrepressible force- gravity. There are no subterranian pharmacies. The dead need rest too. The best tonic for my 3G grandfather is the knowledge his kin are reilluminated in the bright warm light of consciousness and appreciated once again after over 175 years of existence in an intellectual near-perfect vacuum. Go. Get thee to: http://members.aol.com/fourc/ross.text.html Give Dave the peace he so much deserves and collect 5 or 10 sawbucks from Peter; 5-if you locate his place of birth and marriage and 5-if you identify his parents and help jump the Atlantic to the ancestral homeland. TTFN (and thanks--- you are such a good sport!) P
