new direction

 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:

Checks written by David Joy Wright in 1899

 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.

Might be fun to see if I can find these people in the 1899 City Directories and see what type of work was being paid for but not all the checks where cashed in Northampton so I might have to look in a few directories.

Location of David Sanders Mills

 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:

1858 Map of Whately, MA

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.
