Thanks for posting the links.

Roger,
What a fantastic purchase!

Laurie,
Here's a an article on the the Mudd family's recent descendant gathering this past July 2019. https://www.pressreader.com/usa/maryland...0752807832

Thanks, Anita. The Maryland Independent that carried this story originally is one of the local newspapers in Southern Maryland, so I had already seen it. I couldn't get the text to slide to the left here, so I don't know if this version carried the photos also, but there is a nice one of Mary Mudd McHale, a great-granddaughter (daughter of Dr. Richard), who has been very supportive of the Surratt House and Society through the years. If there are photos of the Mudd docents who did reenactments of Dr. Mudd's return, the lady portraying Frankie Mudd is Kate Taylor, wife of Dave Taylor.

Does the article also mention that there was a very bad traffic accident that involved some of the younger Mudd descendants en route home from the gathering? Thankfully, no one received very serious injuries.
