Hi list-members!

My name is Gordon David Thayer (I go by my middle name), b. 24 Oct 1931 in
Glen Ridge, NJ, m. 16 Sep 1956 Henrietta ("Retta") Meta Holt; three children,
four grandchildren.

My Nutter lineage is:

Gordon Nutter Thayer, Bertha Irene Nutter, Charles Polk-8, Josiah Shepard-7,
Grafton-6,5, Valentine-4, Henry-3, Anthony-2, Hatevil-1.

My great-grandparents were pioneers in Colorado, travelling by covered wagon
from Pueblo to Ouray in May, 1877 (took over a month for the journey). I am
in the process of publishing a book titled "The Nutter Chronicles" containing
the reconstructed letters that Emma Frances (Lidey) Nutter wrote to her
mother back in Illinois about her experiences as a pioneer woman.

Lines I am interested in, besides the Nutters, are: Breckwoldt, Delaplaine
(de la Plaine), Junge (Young), Osterman(n), Holden, Holt, Howard (Hayward),
Lidey, Orth, Nicholas, Skinner, Thayer, Thorn(e), Thurber, and others.

How's that for a "wish list"?

Ciao, David
