Went to my class this morning and then did my routines. For the most part I am following my planner and like the results. Sweetie has decided to participate in a car show here this Saturday. Nice surprise as he hasn't done that in several years. He hired a young fellow to detail his car and is very impressed with his work.
I went to my DAR luncheon yesterday and was able to hand in all my information so my sponsor can submit my application. I have enjoyed all the research I've had to do and learned many interesting facts about my family along the way.
Here's just one: My son's father's family is from Knoxville, TN and in doing research for his side of the family discovered that his 10X grand father from his dad's side and his 10X grandfather from his mother's side, that would be me, were friends. My ancestor grand father was Silas Crispin, first cousin to William Penn...Their mothers were sisters. This I've know for many years. Seems like my son's ancestor grand father on his dad's side and his ancestor grandfather, Silas Crispin, along with William Penn, were friends in England and sailed together on the same boat at the same time to what is now Philadelphia. Proving of course, once again fact is stranger that fiction.
I think I already told you that my 9x generation grand father founded the town next to mine where I grew up and that the property where my brother lives was once owned by our 9x generation grand father. I lived for over 15 years never knowing that my 9x generation grandfather was the founder of the town and that he was buried in a cemetery less than five miles of my home. Must have past that cemetery more times than I can count never know I had any connection to any of this.
