    1. Genealogist Nightmare - OFF TOPIC
    2. The Thill Group Inc
    3. Crazy with Confusion A psychiatrist visited a California mental institution and asked a patient, "How did you get here? What was the nature of your illness?" He got the following reply. "Well, it all started when I got married and I guess I should never have done it. I married a widow with a grown daughter who then became my stepdaughter. My dad came to visit us, fell in love with my lovely stepdaughter, then married her. And so my stepdaughter was now my stepmother. Soon, my wife had a son who was, of course, my daddy's brother-in-law since he is the half-brother of my stepdaughter, who is now, of course, my daddy's wife. So, as I told you, when my stepdaughter married my daddy, she was at once my stepmother! Now, since my new son is brother to my stepmother, he also became my uncle. As you know, my wife is my step-grandmother since she is my stepmother's mother. Don't forget that my stepmother is my stepdaughter. Remember, too, that I am my wife's grandson. But hold on just a few minutes more. You see, since I'm married to my step-grandmother, I am not only the wife's grandson and her hubby, but I am also my own grandfather. Now can you understand how I got put in this place?" Shared by Kathleen M. Winn who received it herself.

    2. The Thill Group Inc
    3. On the Lower Merion Page. http://www.lowermerionhistory.org/texts/first300/part04.html It talks about a property that ends up in the hands of a descendant of Dr. Thomas Wynne's. It starts with: Thomas Lloyd, his wife, and their children arrived in Pennsylvania in June 1683 after an eight week journey on the ship America. Lloyd's wife, Mary, died shortly after their arrival. Three of Lloyd's daughters would later marry men who would each serve as mayor of Philadelphia. Upon Lloyd's death at age 54, an unimproved 118 acre tract was sold to David Price, Yeoman, of Merion, who immediately settled on the farmland in 1694. On land, identified from then on as the Greenhill tract, Price built a solid stone house, known for 269 years as the Old Homestead. Over the next dozen years, Price added adjacent land until he owned almost 300 acres. In 1731, Price conveyed 207 of those acres to his son Issachar, a carpenter: "...houses, outhouses, Edifices and Buildings." For almost 30 years the property was leased to a succession of farmers: John Hughes, John Evans (who owned land northwest of the Hughes farm), and Ludwig Knoll. "John Hughes was active in colonial affairs, member of the Pennsylvania Assembly, and friend of Benjamin Franklin (who appointed him Stamp Distributor for the Provinces). Upon his death in 1772, Hughes' land was inherited by his son, John, Jr. John Hughes, Jr. married Margaret Pashall, the great granddaughter of one of the original Lower Merion settlers, Dr. Thomas Wynne. Both John and Margaret died in their twenties, leaving two daughters. The orphaned sisters were raised at Greenhill by a cousin, Mary Hollingsworth. But the Hughes girls, unmarried, both died in their twenties."

Just thinking. Love Queenie Joyce Computer for now ok. They(msn and verizon) still trying to get the bugs out. I hope soon. I am also via Noah Abraham though not headed to Wales this time around. Darn! I was there in 1966 with my mother. I so look forward to seeing the photos so I can compare. My mother (Evelyn Abraham Benson) came to believe she may not have identified the correct farm as Thomas Wynne's. I'll await the experts report!
