Yes, that is the scale.

The following photographs are of Anthony Jones Morris, the son of Anthony Saunders Morris, and Rose Hill and Gristmill in Pemberton.

I am familiar with the image in Boyers book, and in fact, my family has had a copy of it for ages and has maintained that it is, indeed, from Hanover. Of course, this could be wrong. It was also published in R. D. Wood Company, 1803-1953 - what was the Florence Iron Works founded by Richard...

Attached is a photograph of James Athanasius Fenwick (1866) and a photo of his home taken by his cousin, Richard Woodmansie Jones, in 1910. Fenwick was raised by his uncle and aunt, Benjamin and Mary Howell Jones. Born in 1818, his mother and father, Susan Howell Fenwick and Athanasius...

Doubtful. I don't really know though because i haven’t spoken with him in nearly 20 years. Don't really know him.

The watercolor still exists, though I've never seen it in person. My cousin in NY has it. It was likely painted between 1840 and 1845, as Harriet was born in 1825 and her father, Benjamin, owned the operation until 1846, at which point he sold it to Richard and Samuel. This is a better image...

I, too, suspect. There was a major rift in the family because of how this all played out.

A. J. Morris is A. S. Morris's son.
