Letter To Editor

Dear Mrs. Latham:

In 1850 the Samuel Hartley family was living in Rappahannock County. At that time the family consisted of wife, Elizabeth Compton Hartley age 34; sons George 14 years old, Thomas 11 and Henry 6; and daughters Francis 8, Eliza 4 and Sarah 2; all born in Virginia. Samuel was born in Pennsylvania about 1810. His occupation was silversmith. A family history is being prepared in which it is hoped the above named people, their ancestors and descendants can be included. Facts pertaining to them, their wiv6s, husbands, children, grandchildren, etc., are needed for this history. The birthplaces and parents of Samuel Hartley and his wife, Elizabeth Compton, will be especially helpful. Any information your readers may have on this family will be greatly appreciated. Letters from descendants, relatives, acquaintances and others having any knowledge of them are invited.

Thank you for your assistance in this endeavor.

Very sincerely,

L. W. King

Simon Sloan - warmed and buffeted in the womb of family life, discovering - in the funny, nasty, puppy fames of boyhood - his body and his mind, lapping up culture around him, gradually becoming a person, at once qAfque and the child of his time...uri|t®in April of 1942, the cord is cut aVlafo (maybe) and Simon Sloan is bdrn into the world of Others.”
