Re: Puritans

Well, I got interested in my family history when I was 10.  We had a large reunion every year,  singing, eating, games, etc.
Mine was spent at my great grandfather's knee, (Joseph Paschal Baker) telling me and others about the place his relatives came from, which was Midway, Ga.  The most wonderful people from all walks of life and went into just about every field.  Teddy Roosevelt was one of those.  His mother did water colors and she gave her best friend one of these.  Years later after she had passed away, Teddy visited the area and my cousin, one of the Bakers.  gave him the watercolor.
I have never been to Miday, would like to before I die, but I would differ with you on the watermelons.  The best sweetest watermelons come from Hope, Arkansas.  Monticello was the home of my birth.
