The Mudd Children

[Rsmyth]

Thank you for this info some of which I may have known but forgotten. Nettie had to sue her former boss to get the "Booth sofa" back!
Thomas may have been living and working 3 blocks from the home of Frederick Douglass at the time of the abolitionist's death.
John Best! Where is he buried? It appears he died sometime after 1870 but prior to the next census. Spangler died in 1875 and was buried in St. Peter's Cementery, in originally an unmarked grave. Could Best be interred there?
The article written by Stella's former student is very telling!
The Doctor wrote a letter from prison saying he received a trunk containing "a quantity of very fine clothes." Wonder if he is wearing them in the newly discovered photo by Dave Taylor?
One small typo. Jeremiah Dyer - should the date read 1859?
Thanks again for all you efforts!
