Discoveries

Posted September 7, 2024 by Archive Owner

There were some interesting discoveries made in sorting through documents and photos at the Hutchins home on River Road this past summer. Among them were very old family letters, including letters written to Mark Lisherness Hutchins (Thurston’s father) by his brothers who were Union Soldiers in the Civil War. One letter from Enos Hutchins is dated September 13, 1864 - almost 160 years ago to the date of my writing this post! These letters are all being uploaded to these archives. I hope you enjoy discovering their contents along with me! Any help in transcribing these would always welcome!

Puzzles

Posted September 7, 2024 by Archive Owner

There are always puzzles and brick walls in researching the past. Here is one from the Johnston/Gallagher family tree. There has always been a family legend that Mary Davis was a Mayflower ancestor Well, my mother had sketched out in a tiny notebook the way this ancestry tree might have looked. It doesn’t fit with many of the trees on ancestry.com but it seems to fit with a few. There is more research needed here!
