Dear John, ,,, One of the families I was looking at was Thomas White's (the father of Harriet White). His baptismal date was either 6 Oct 1775 or 1776 (couldn't read the year). Most of what I found, I have to figure out how to verify. I did find some of my old records from the early 1960's that will help. It's possible that some of what I have will sound familiar to Bob Spring (Tacoma) or Tody, but I have not had time to write to them. You asked about Harriet ('Tody') Cleveland. Tody was one of Reginald ("Uncle Rex") and Violet Spring's 3 children. She was probably my mother's closest cousin. As you know, Uncle Rex was a wonderful story teller, with a great sense of humor and Tody inherited his ability to entertain. She is quite hard of hearing and can't see well either. . . a cataract in one eye and macular degeneration in the other, so she uses a 'reader' (forgotten the term for it) to magnify. She also uses a walker, and does not go upstairs in her home. Both Tody and my mother were named Harriet after Harriet Spring Salmen. And I wouldn't be surprised if Harriet Salmen were named after Harriet White (of Cardington, Bedfordshire, England.) Tody's husband, Spencer, was an attorney. He died ~ 1950, when we were in Germany; he was found hanging in a barn (a presumed suicide). I'm giving you the sad details, aren't I?! From what my mother told me, she kept his law offices open and did quite well. She moved from Snyder (outside Buffalo), N.Y. to Tucson years ago, and her house is about a block from her only daughter, Charlotte. Tody told me that she thinks people don't survive when they go into assisted living or care centers. You can tell that she is fiercely independent. . . a Spring family trait, I am sure. She really does remarkably well. Charlotte goes to her hous
