Comment on Webster-Pettit Connection by David Thomson

David Thomson — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 23:50:32 +0000

I am a descendant of Alexander Brodie and Barbara Anderson of St. Fergus parish in Aberdeenshire. On of their daughters, Mary Brodie, married Alexander Center and they and their family lived in Monquhitter ABD. Their oldest son Alexander married Susan Chalmers and lived in and around St. Fergus. Alexander and Mary’s son Alexander Center married Alexander and Susan’s daughter Sarah Brodie – i.e. they were first cousins. Alexander and Sarah had 8 children that I know of, including George and Sarah Isabella Janet. Those two and possibly other children of Alexander & Sarah emigrated to the US, probably in about the 1860s. The older Alexander and Mary Center and many, if not all, of their children emigrated to Wisconsin in the 1840s and then to the San Francisco/Oakland/Santa Clara area, and have many descendants there. I have more info on the family if desired.

Comment on Patrick Fleming information by Rick

It would seem that we may be looking at different Fleming lines. Our Fleming ancestors came from Ireland and settled in Trumbull County, Ohio in the latter part of the 19th century, between 1860 and 1870.

Comment on It could be my year by Rick

Rick — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 21:03:17 +0000

2010 is nearly over and for the most part, it’s been a pretty good year. I’ve been employed most of the year and seems like it will be stable for the foreseeable future.

I met my weight goal of 12 stone (168 lbs) in July and have stayed with in a few pounds since. I’m starting to consider losing another five to 10 pounds.

In late September I suspected I had a hernia. It was confirmed and I had surgery at the end of October. I’ve pretty much recovered now.

Household and computer projects have been slow to get on track but I’m planning to get working on both in the near future.
