Thank you so much for your kind words in your discussion of my article! As you well know, such things are a labor of love so any acknowledgement or positive feedback is greatly appreciated. I remain hopeful that further evidence will one day surface to confirm (or refute) that Louisa Beard was indeed identical with my 4-great grandmother Louisa ([–?–]) Streeter, the second wife of Thomas-1 Streeter and the mother of his nine children. Many of the Streeter children also migrated to the Midwest, so some of your readers may be interested in the genealogical summary (or the sources cited therein) at the end of the following NYGBR article from 2011:<br /><br />Streeter, Perry, “Streeter Immigrants of Greene and Steuben Counties [New York]: The Common Origins of Elizabeth (Streeter) Faulkner, Thomas Streeter, and William Streeter, at Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead, Sussex, England” 142:47-61, 117-130; available online as www.perrystreeter.com/streeter.pdf.<br /><br />I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can solve the “cold case” mystery of what became of Richard-2 Streeter, youngest child of Thomas-1 and Louisa ([–?–]) Streeter, after Richard is last found in Doon Township, Lyon County, Iowa in the state census of 1885. I have made contact with multiple living descendants of “Uncle Richard” but his ultimate fate remains unknown.<br /><br />Congratulations on your lead article in the July issue of the NYGBR! Now I need to revisit every case in which a New York State probate record failed to provide the direct evidence that I was seeking—in some cases, I may have given up too easily when other evidence might still reveal a connection that I assumed too quickly did not exist!Perry Streeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13680156627864206927noreply@blogger.com
