His comment went something like this: &quot;She was a pretty girl -- and still is.&quot; The picture confirms it.

Doesnt it drive you crazy you know nothing about them. I have photos like that in photobooks from my dad who is now gone. I keep hanging on to them hoping to run into someone that will know them.

You are very fortunate to have your ancestor&#39;s diary and to have this glimpse into their day to day lives.

We&#39;re descended from Thomas Sprigg and Eleanor Nuthall as well through their daughter Martha I believe. I think I&#39;m about 11th generation down. Interestingly, my oldest son&#39;s mouth bears a resemblance to the portrait of Thomas. <br />I was under the impression he did have children with Catherine, though I could be wrong.<br />Have you ever traced the family tree back from them? Eleanor&#39;s is quite interesting.Katielee4211http://www.blogger.com/profile/14994959732687391703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10057646.post-1177720965591347632011-06-08T20:37:38.871-05:002011-06-08T20:37:38.871-05:00Thank you so much for visiting.
