Jeanette (Jean)was born in 1898, lived til 1994 (96 yrs), so she remembered some of these people.I'm pretty sure she remembered her grandmother Margaret Joseph Louden, and she, too, grew up in Winnepauk (Jean, that is).We have got to be working on the same family, but how to connect them?I just looked at notes I took from Jean, and see that she said that the Loudon's were not farmers but had what her grandmother called a farm (whatever that means).She referred to Bob Loudon as a second cousin (of Jean's), and said he had a farm and raised strawberries.Why don't you e-mail me directly and we can go further with this.I have quite a few notes from Jean.I have census images on line, by the way.And in 1870, James Loudon, age 42, and wife Margaet, age 37, are on next page to David Loudon,age 45, and Isabel, age 35.All born in Ireland.Both men worked in woolen mill.The date on that prayer book I mentioned is 1851, not 1852.Please e-mail me directly at [email protected]
