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. You can read our first story about the life of Lucretia Stout Brewer by clicking each link (in gray or blue) below. Check this blog in the future as more stories are added. If you're aware of an interesting story about our family, let us know, and we would be glad to help publish it here.

I would love to hear the cassette recording of my grandmother. It would be wonderful to hear her voice again. Thanks for posting the story about my great grandfather.
