The various genealogy reports about our family are useful and interesting, but most of us also enjoy reading stories. One of our family members, Susan Johnston Moore, volunteered to periodically provide narratives based on the research into our family.

If you're aware of an interesting story about our family, let us know, and we would be glad to help publish it here.
