PART FIVE
Handwritten Genealogy with the J. J. Sams' Journal
Hello List,
Below is what I transcribed today from the
handwritten chart that was included with my copy of J. J. Sams'
Journal from the Newberry Library. The copy
I have was written, not like below, but in the form of a family tree
or genealogy table. I've tried to follow
it as it was written down.
Now, I don't have ANY idea who wrote it but
I doubt that Jehoiada J. Sams did......the main reason being that I
believe he would have filled in his wife,
Sarah's, DOB and the names of all 8 children, also I believe he would
have known his own Mother's name and I think
(my opinion) that he was much to modest a man to write the word
"writer" under his name. Like a lot
of other good writers, I think he would have called himself a "story teller."
My comments when I wasn't sure of words I followed
with my initials so you would all know that wasn't part of
the original.
