Dear Barcley et al,

I tell you, our ancestors, especially the old Quaker families, used and
re-used every single scrap of useable goods, and I believe they also
re-used their names generation after generation! I can see I
definitely inherited this virtue. My middle son and his wife are
expecting their first child, so I researched the names that have been
passed down through the family. It is shocking, and slightly funny,
that there are really very few names overall, but they were just
recycled with every generation! Thanks for all the info; through this
short odyssey of the Painter family, I have discovered several cousins
to my Townsends,
