I've also discovered a way to create info graphics from the information. here is the one on my mom.
here is the podcast on her
here is the link to her biography
it's been a while since I've posted her. in that time period I've hand a stroke and am now in recovery iv started a podcast based on my previous research here is the first episode:
Today would have been my Great Grandfather David Joy Wright's 174th Birthday. If you want to see what I've found out about him up to now you can red his biography here.
My cousin Jim found a set of check that David Joy Wright had written in 1899 in his father's documents and he set them on to me. They arrived yesterday so I thought it would be appreciate to scan them and post them today.

I found the location of David Sanders Gris and Lumber mills, shop, his home and the home of Benjamin Franklin read on a 1858 map of Whitely, MA on the Whatley Historical Society page.
Here is the full map:

The properties are in the south central area of the map and here is a close up showing them. David Sanders is labeled David Saunders on the map and Benjamin Franklin Reed ids R.F. Reed.
