Re: Quarterman connections

["MIKE AND NANCY REU" <mandnreu@charter.net>]

JSQ,

    Good to hear about from you about our connections.  Note: Ann Caroline
Quarterman was the 2nd wife of Alexander Sanford Quarterman, not Thos.
Quarterman.  He was ASQ's father.  I see a Thomas Wm, married to Louisa
Walker, & son of the Thos. who was ASQ's father.  No, Corinne Way was not my
mother-in-law!  Corinne never married or had children.  She was Mom's 1st
cousin - her mother, Corinne Quarterman Way was the younger sister of Mom's
mother, Ann Elizabeth Quarterman, who married Joseph Edgar Way.  She was his
2nd, much younger wife - my husband always gets a few raised eyebrows when
he tells people his grandfather fought in "The War"!

    I know Jemima was John Quarterman Sr.'s daughter by his 2nd marriage,
but haven't done enough Way research yet to see how Joseph Edgar and Albert
Morse were related.  Mom said the relationship wasn't a close one.  Mom was
Lucile Ellen Way, who loved history, and died 3 weeks shy of her 103rd
birthday in April, 1999!

    I'm still trying to find a copy of your Quarterman book that I can peek
at before purchasing it.  We were in Washington DC recently with just a few
hours to spare, so we hot-footed it up to the Library of Congress, sure that
they would have a copy.  Of course they do - but it hadn't been processed
yet and wasn't available!  I'll try the Midway Museum again the next time
we're down that way.

    Thanks again - Nancy Reu
