Hi all--I just got word from Jeane Freeman through her local friend that her computer has crashed and she will be *oob* for a week or so. I sent word that the Thomas-Bratten material I sent her can be replaced. What a bummer. Question--Do any of you know what a Magnetic Healer is? One of Deb Whaley's ancestors was one, and we wonder what it was. Did he use magnets to cure diseases???? Or what?? Deb also asks what INTESTATE means. Deb, if your ancestor died intestate, that means he left no will and ALL descendants will be listed. Dying intestate is a plus for researchers, because wills do not always tell ALL of the descendants-- ONLY the ones that the writer of the will WANTS to be an heir. If any of you sent me a message on Tue. and I did not reply, it is probably because a message disappeared from the screen before I could read it. Do any of you know anything about any Ebenezer Whaley? I just got some info from Dale Cantrell that an Ebenezer was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Baltmore, MD. (One Hundred Years of History, 1802-1902.) We would like to know about him, as he was involved in the early Worcester Co MD activities.
