[WED]emigration

[Mary Thacher]

Dear Mary,

I am glad Judy Weber is in  touch with you.

James Dyer (b. 1820) also founded Manchester in Delaware County, so
understandably there were more Somerset people there.

Edith Polder's maiden name was Ham, possibly her father George Ham, son of
Robert and Elizabeth Ham, was the grandson of John and Harriet in the 1850
Cemsus.  I will check that out.

Thanks again for all the information,

Mary Thacher
