Dear Toni,
Thanks so much for your posting of the
Hartshorn material.
I was astonished to read some of the names and recognize many of them. The material may be of immeasurable value to many of us.
My purpose in this email is to promote your considering
Derick Hartshorn as the recipient of the book. Without doubt, he is the guru and source for many of us researching this area. I am from northeast
Ohio and recognize many of the names and, thanks to
Derick, am researching the line from
Monroe County,
Ohio. Many of the names( especially the
Meredith name) may well result is solving a long-time mystery for many of us( the husband of Ann Meredith/Merideth). And that is just one example !
In any event, I would like to propose being a "backup" to
Derick should you not be able to make arrangements for any reason. Derick certainly is the one who should have the material and will cherish and care for it. I believe I can offer the same care. I believe I can speak for many Hartshorns researching this line that the information needs to become part of our research and whatever I can do to ensure that, please contact me. thanks, Ed
Hartshorn Monongahela, Pa
