The last few weeks I have been preparing to apply for membership into the Daughters of the American Revolution.  So I had to pull out the Webster family Bible wherein my legacy resides.  The Bible belonged to my third great-grandmother, Sarah Norton WEBSTER.  It was given to her in 185[3] as a gift from her father, Calvin Price WEBSTER.  It is in critical condition, so this is only the second time I’ve opened it, as I needed to gather some final sources for my DAR application.

Dear GeanaSanta, This year I am asking for some unusual items that relate to my family’s history. An original, first-run edition of the Webster’s dictionary that my distant cousin Noah Webster produced. The desk that my 10th great-granduncle, Robert Treat, used during his time as governor of Connecticut in the late 1600s. The medals that were awarded to my grandfather, John Cahill, for serving in WWII. Yours truly, Julie Posted for the 62nd edition of the Carnival of Genealogy.
