AWESOME! i'm so glad you wrote -- i lost your contact info too. e-mail is
samonteith(a)aep.com, cell phone is 614-203-0963.
we have another burrell hooked on this stuff -- i just loaned all my records and research
to my nephew tim, who lives off 71st in indy. if you're going to bloomfield, you want
to visit the shaw/van slyke cemetery too -- it's a very small family plot behind a
3-story red brick factory they refer to as the glove factory. i think we've already
talked about that. i'm in boston on business, and off the top of my head i don't
remember whether it's cornelius or pieter, but one of them has a headstone that stands
about 4 feet tall or so, and has his whole revolutionary war record carved on it. first
time i was there, i had to climb a barbed wire fence and cut through a cornfield to reach
it. last time (a year or two ago), the town has now lit it, put up a flag and a little
marker - it's nice. cornelius donated the land the county courthouse is on -- i guess
they didn't think it was right for him to be buried in a cornfield. am anxious to hear
about the pix -- keep me posted!
