Dear Worcester County Listers,

I wonder if anyone connects with George BANCROFT, the famous historian, who
was born at Worcester in 1800, died in 1891, and is buried at 'Worcester
Rural Cemetery'. His son by his first marriage (to Sarah Hopkins DWIGHT),
John Chandler BANCROFT, married (in 1864), my wife's fourth cousin five times
removed, Louisa Maria DENNY, daughter of Edward DENNY (1806 - 1874) and his
wife, Cornelia (nee LARNED). I am reading George BANCROFT's History of the
United States at present, and it's one of the best pieces of writing (let
alone history) that I have ever come across!

Yours, etc.
