While running family names Kimsey and Randolph through newspapers.com I ran across a flurry of articles all around 1893-94 mentioning my kin as possible heirs to a long forgotten 80 acre parcel of land in the heart of Philadelphia. David F Randolph owned the land in late 1700’s, died and nobody knew he was the owner. Have any of you ever heard of this event? The articles ran newspapers all through the country. On a side note…. I also learned one of my ancestors was a dwarf! “Little Susie Randolph”.
I’ve attached the newspaper articles.
