This is great! My gr grandfather was Charles Ira, son of Samuel, son of Joel. He and your grandfather were brothers! I know the story of his mother and sister's death, and the toll house. You probably know that Samuel is buried in Cairo OH and Eliz in Maple Glen PA. I also have a photo of Samuel with his obituary and one when he was younger. And a handful of narrative stories from a publication by the Springs Historical Society. And a bunch of conflicting info about the Morts...!

I now own the log cabin that Charles built, about 1-2 miles from the Addison toll house. (We don't live there - it's a project to say the least! But we go there often.) I have pictures of the toll house, too, and can easily get more. I'd been told that Charles and my gr grandmother rented the toll house as newlyweds. I didn't know about Samuel until one day when I was visiting during "Old Pike" days and his name was on a list, hanging on the door! But they didn't have years or other info on hand, so I am very curious what you know!

You can email me directly at laralutz@aol.com - I'll do the same and send you my home contact info. I'm excited that we've connected and happy to share -
