Darn, Rob. Vicki and I just returned from seeing the movie Nebraska. (We're both big Bruce Dern fans.) I was hoping for a million dollars...

Very good, Betty. That's him. You win best wishes for a mild winter where you live!

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-17-2013 01:03 PM

Roger Taney's wife - Anne Arnold Phoebe Charlton Key Taney?

RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-17-2013 01:23 PM

Sorry Roger, it's not Anne Arnold Phoebe Charlton Key Taney.

Hint # 1- Her father was a prominent Whig politician.

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-17-2013 04:09 PM

Mary Elizabeth Bliss whose father was Zachary Taylor?

RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-17-2013 06:19 PM

No Roger, it's not Mary Elizabeth Bliss.

Hint # 2 One of her sons became a Catholic priest.

Hint # 3 Think Union Army.

Was this woman General Sherman's wife?

RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-18-2013 03:38 PM

Yes Roger, it is Ellen Ewing Sherman. Her father was a Senator Thomas Ewing, three of her four brothers were Union generals and her parents raised William Tecumseh Sherman after his father died in 1829.

Your prize is a trip to Joseph Stuntz's toy shop where you may select a toy for Xmas. Perhaps you'd like one of Tad's favorites- a toy soldier.

This person has been mentioned many times on the forum. Who is he?

RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-20-2013 05:51 AM

Michael Burlingame? (Professor, AFAIK, cui horem, horem.)

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-20-2013 06:51 AM

Correct, Eva! Good job. I thought Anita's gift to Roger M. was a wonderful idea, so I will give you the same for Christmas. You win one free trip to Joseph Stuntz' toy shop. Ruth Painter Randall writes, "To enter it was like going into a Christmas scene in toyland." Mr. Stuntz was a wounded veteran who had come to America from France, and he loved to carve all kinds of wonderful toys. Enjoy, Eva!

Great prize, thanks Roger!
