Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

Recently started to research my genealogy. Andrew and Mary Peachy are my great, great, great grandparents! My line is through their daughter Eliza. Seeing the pictures is amazing and my resemblance to Mary Peachy is astounding.
I always enjoy looking at old pictures. With this picture, I'm really drawn to the eyes. They look very kind.
ReplyDeleteHe does look like a kind man.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think he looks like a gentle soul.
