Tombstone Tuesday: Benjamin Learned 1741-1818

Learned

Midge Frazel has inspired me to start scanning in some of my gravestone pictures.  Interestingly, I have some gravestone rubbings done "back in the day," when such things were still allowed.  One is framed in my office.  This is Benjamin Learned who served in the American Revolution.  The place is Dublin, N.H., a beautiful cemetery on a hill overlooking a lake.

One was from the gentry Drake family, the one that included Sir Francis Drake and one that was descended from royalty. The other was not. The royal, gentry John Drake died early, whereas the other John Drake moved to Windsor, Connecticut and had six children by two wives, and died there on...

My XY Line Per Nat Taylor, I've learned something new. It's now become vogue (or am I on the leading edge of this trend?) to trace your XY line, that is gender alternating per generation. It is interesting that this line, unlike your patrilineal line or umbilical line differs for your siblings of the opposite sex. For me its: 1. Martin Hollick 2. Sharon Pinkham 3. Clarence Pinkham 1912-2007 4. Kate Kinmond 1885-1918 5. Ernest Fiddler Kinmond 1845-1904 6. Marjory Milne 1817-1891 7.
