This goes back to a June 29th posting entitled "Re Pleasant Carver". A
poster commented "I have been reading the posts on Pleasant. Who is the
father of Pleasant and from which family in North Carolina does he
descend? Is he from the Surry County group (Chistopher and the wives
"Ziegler") or from another North Carolina Carver? If it is the
Christopher (father Michael Gerber) who came into North Carolina, TN,
OH, IN, IL and on...then I would like to correspond."
I am a descendent of Christopher (through David, Alps, Silas, and
Leona), and would very much like information on this Carver-Gerber
connection.
Thanks!

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because
I was not a

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a
Protestant.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.
