<DIV><FONT size=3>When my father bought what was left of the Shea place at
Foster in 1943 (about 20 acres), there was a little house on the
south side of HWY 20 a bit east of Riggs Hill Road, that was being used as a
chicken coop during WW II. It was owned by a Mr. Flemming, and why I
remember his name I do not know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>One day (circa 1945-46), a crew came in and cleaned out the
house, and a family by the name of Thornbourough <sp> moved into
it!! I'm sure they did not know the previous occupants.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>HI all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ok you Brownsville specialists, here's one for you. (Cecil, this
guy may be a long lost cousin of ours!) Friend of mine
mentioned tonight that his GG?grandfather came out in 1852 and owned and
operated a harness shop in Brownsville. Some of his family are buried in
the old cemetery up on the hill along with some of my family. He also
told me a story that I think I've heard one of you tell before, about how his
gg? grandparents found an old abandoned chicken coop, fixed it up, added a
lean to, and lived in it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cecil - he also said some of the Webers lived in the Lebanon, Sweet Home
area. Sound familiar?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do the names or the story ring any bells with anyone. Thanks for
any info. Midge</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
