RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-16-2013
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...
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-17-2013
Who is this man?

RE: Who is this person? - BettyO - 12-17-2013
Judge Roger Brook Taney -
Taney was related to Mason Campbell (whom Powell chose to represent him and who refused.)
Reverend Stryker's wife was related to Campbell and Taney -
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-17-2013
Very good, Betty. That's him. You win best wishes for a mild winter where you live!
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-17-2013
Do you know her?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-17-2013
Roger Taney's wife - Anne Arnold Phoebe Charlton Key Taney?
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-17-2013
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
Mary Elizabeth Bliss whose father was Zachary Taylor?
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-17-2013
No Roger, it's not Mary Elizabeth Bliss.
Hint # 2 One of her sons became a Catholic priest.
Hint # 3 Think Union Army.
RE: Who is this person? - Rogerm - 12-17-2013
Was this woman General Sherman's wife?
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-18-2013
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.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-20-2013
This person has been mentioned many times on the forum. Who is he?

RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-20-2013
Michael Burlingame? (Professor, AFAIK, cui horem, horem.)
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-20-2013
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!
