The Grandpa I Never Met you did well telling about your grandfather and all the children, I don't believe how you kept track of the family,

Thank you Gert. I don't keep up with it all. I had to do some research. I'm learning some things too.

Comment from Annmuma
Well written. It is always amazing to me when I read about life in those times, how the women survived!! I understand this story is about your grandfather and I'm making that first statement as sort of an 'aside'.
Good work and I look forward to the next chapter. ann

Thank you Ann, I agree. I'm glad we were born a little later. Women had it bad in those days. I really appreciate the review and comments. Beth
Comment from R. Marc Goodson
Excellent writing. I particularly like the linking of family with the 'times' Your descriptions are vivid and I could easily follow the trials and tribulations of the individuals and families.
It would be an interesting writing adventure to put your knowledge of family into the context of a historical novel. I only found one catch: "...Charles Broadwater, whose ship Robert & John made trips..."

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job, Beth, with this chapter of your family
history. I enjoyed reading it. The research you did is evident.
The picture was a great pairing, too. You chronicled the
generations well. Your story was well organized and filled with
super interesting details. I knew how many women died
in childbirth, and how many young children didn't live
long, too. There will never be any generations in the future
like those of the past. The families were of strong breed and
worked so hard--no running to WalMart for anything little thing.
Respectfully, Jan
known as Bob, was born five generation(s)
developed a hardy taste for liquor, (hearty)
