This is an exciting rendition of a fire that happened there, and a bank robbery that happened there in bygone days.

Congratulations on finding out this information! My great-great grandfather as well as other family members were among the founders of a town in California.

That’s really cool, going to visit it now? My 9th great grandfather founded Hartford, CT with some others. The best part is we bought a special unique breed cat from Hartford four years ago. I have a cat in part from what my grandfather did long ago.

Actually, I HAVE been there, a long long time ago...when I was a kid. I had lots of relatives and ancestors there, and in the surrounding area. I remember it being a pretty area...but not much else.

Sounds like we may be cousins many times removed.

I am descended from John Warner through his son Andrew.
