Me

This is the list of what Ancestry tells me is the "direct line" from Warner to myself. I have gravestones of many of my fourth great grandparents. If you had told me that I would have found any of them in that generation (or earlier) I would have told you you were nuts. But, that was 2004, before people were finding them for me. What a difference online collaboration makes!

The carved information on Warner and his wife Susanna is classic for the period. Notice that her year of death has a space between the 18 and the 43.

I am so glad to see these gravestones!
