Cousins: This is to inform all of you of my new email address. It is jmolitz@cox.net Cousin Julia Wright Molitz

Julia, I sent the story and the site disproving it to Bobby Prosser. Joyce Park Riggs

Bobby, OK, I did not have a senior moment. I found the story it is below. In a message dated 3/17/2005 1:46:51 PM Pacific Standard Time, Jmolitz@aol.com writes: << Dear Cousins: Below is a good story I just received. I would like to start a discussion of what you all think. I thought penicillin was invented during the 2nd World War or was it the 1st.? Does anyone know? Can the story below be true, if not it is a good one anyway? His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly. "I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.

Bobby: Oh my, did I not send the story when I ask the question. I have been cleaning out my mail box so do not have the story or a copy of the orginal email I sent to this site asking the questions. Someone help me out for maybe I had a senior moment.

Cousins: We have our very first recipe from Vicki McCarty for Irish Soda Bread. Hum! sure sounds good. Vicki gets a great big shamrock for being the first recipe submitter. JoAnn Prosser is going to send in a pot roast recipe in time. She has also sent to me a couple of good categories so look for her suggestions later. However do not what for a food category to send in you recipes. Send in when you think of them for you may get busy and forget. Well, I guess I should think of myself on that account. Most forgetful person in the world. I'm off to test Vicki's family Irish Soda Bread recipe. Wear Green!!!!! Julia

Hope all are wearing green today. One does not really have to be Irish for all are on St. Patrick's Day. How about those Irish recipes, does anyone have a good recipe for corn beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread or any good stories that deal with food or St. Patrick's Day. Anyone eating corn beef and cabbage today? I need those recipes and stories if we are going to have a CRC cook book. Julia

Gardner: I have had some good response to the cook book but no recipes as yet. We would love to have you join us. Just go to www.chestnutridgecousins.org where you will find the info on how to join and our upcoming meetings 10 & 11 of June in Marshall at the Horton State Park. Send you recipes & food stories to me Julia Wright Molitz at jmolitz@aol.com. We are just getting the cook book off the ground. Welcome to our mailing list, hope to meet you at the June meetings.

Cousins Let us start the ball rolling on collecting recipes for a cook book. So this week let us submit those good old home made biscuits recipes. Even if your mother or grandmothers recipe is a handful of this and a pinch of that send it to me. Do you have any stories about biscuits? I have a couple, one is: My father always laughed when he told this story about his mothers (Willie Etta Armstrong Wright) biscuits. He said they were the best biscuits anyone every made right out of the oven. With a slab of sweet butter nothing could be better. But when those biscuits got cold you could throw one at a wall and knock down the wall they got so hard. Let us include in this cook book not only recipes but stories about food as well. The recipes do not have to be all old. I am sure many have biscuit recipes that have added ingredients like cheese or onion or a quick step recipe. Maybe a special biscuit for parties or a sandwich biscuit. Or just how do you like your biscuit? Send all to me at jmolitz@aol.com Cousins Julia

Thank you Polly for your helpful info. Does sound as if the dates may be a little off but then who knows. My Armstrongs came to Lincoln CO., between 1800 and 1820. There were people in the area when the NC land grant office was opened around 1783. Julia In a message dated 2/18/2005 5:39:27 PM Pacific Standard Time, pdodson2@charter.net writes: << Dear Julia, According to my History of Bedford Co. Tn,.On May 24, 1784 , 9what is now middle Tn ) the Capitol was in East Tn. In 1808, the Tn. legislature met at Kingston and formed a new County called Bedford( 2000 miles) The first courts were held at the home of Mrs. Ann Payne until 1809. Then Lincoln Co. was original a part of Bedford. The above information would probably conflict with the birth of Sarah Armstrong b. abt. 1761 in Shelbyville. Maybe it was in the wilderness. We plan on celebrating our 200th year of Shelbyville in 2007. Cousin Polly >

Dortha: I have many Armstrong's in my date base but I am sorry I do not have your Elizabeth b 1817. There are so many Armstrong's in Middle, TN. Martin and John Armstrong registered the NC land grants and I think the whole Armstrong tribe came west to Middle, TN. John and brother Martin received 5000 acres plots for their pay. Much of it in Lincoln and surrounding counties. I have not been able to connect these two brothers to my Armstrong's.
