Aspen Grove Farm

• Projects involved in the preservation, modernization, and restoration of the house.
• Aerial photograph of the farm.
• Selections from the diary of Jeremiah White Graves. The diary covers the period from 1823, when he bought the farm, until his death in 1878. This selection is from the period when the old wing of Aspen Grove was constructed.

Genealogical Stuff

• A photo essay on the old Hunt cemetery in Pittsylvania county, containing the graves of Elijah Hunt, Ryland Logan Hunt, and Emily Ann Winfrey.
• Another photo essay on the my trip to the old Joseph Towler house by Towler's Bridge in Pittsylvainia County, Virginia
• Text file containing Blanford Towler Anderson's compilation of Brumfield court records (converted into e-text by Betty Anderson Cooper of Suffolk, Virginia)
• Selection from an e-mail to the BRUMFIELD-L by Adam Umperovich detailing possible exploits of possible ancestors.

Miscellaneous text files of note

• Two recipies for chili con carne.
• A poem by my great-grandfather published in a local newspaper in 1939.
• Notes for a book that Sara and a friend were working on a few years ago.
• What appears to be a draft of a chapter of that book.
• After a friend loaned me Ryan & Pittman's book Noah's Flood, I collected what people posted about it on the ANE-L mailing list for him. To my great surprise, that's shown up linked from a few websites. So now I can't get rid of it.
• Yet another draft of a chapter from Sara's book.
• Sigh... Maybe she'll move this stuff off here soon.

Here is the contents of my old lensflare account -- lots of raw data, not much formatting.
