Dear Cousins:
Sorry I'm late. Laziness and the making of 3 quilts for
friends of my sons new babies, are the reasons. It's such fun I hesitated to
put the work down to do the Newsletter. I hope I'm forgiven.
Some interesting tidbits in the Newsletter this month. I
hope some of you .will send more information on not only PROVINCE RAWLINGS, son
of NATHAN (1750-1821), but also of the other sons BENJAMIN SCOTT, and whichever
MICHAEL might be NATHAN's son. We have a lot of material on JAMES and NATHAN
Jr., the other two. Also if any of you might know whether ASAHEL who and Nancy
Pendergast had a son MICHAEL. I couldn't locate an item I had concerning a
lawsuit brought about by the sisters of BENJAMIN, son of PROVINCE who was
killed in the Civil War, which they brought against their brother NATHAN who
had been appointed administrator of BENJAMIN's estate. The sisters believed
NATHAN had looted the estate. As it turns out the estate amounted to just a few
dollars and all the fuss was made for naught. When I locate it I will include
it in a future Newsletter.
I'd like to mention as well why I include random obituaries
in the Newsletters. It is done in case any of our subscribers might be able to
locate a distant relative or descendant. I hope it helps.
Remember, too, as I have mentioned several times before, we
print the information you send just as we receive it. If there is more than
one version of the data we print both versions with an explanation. And we ask
for corrections when some dates or names or places are incorrect, so don't
hesitate. We all know that the further back we go in time the more chance there
is of error.
I hope you all had a great summer...and that the fall and
winter will be a happy season for you. Fall is my favorite time of year except
I wish I lived in more northern climes because in California where I live there
is no fall or spring. Ah me!
