We went digging in the antiquity section of the Dover, New Hampshire library and confirmed one branch of my mother's family that dated back to 1608. We also found two generations of of my ancestors that were buried in the Dover area on Varney Road and in the Varney Cemetery. The cemetery was very small (40' wide and 75' long) and grown over. Only four headstones were visible, but in very good shape compared to others we found in more exposed areas.

If you gotten this far down the page, please note. We are flying home on the 8th. The blog will be off line for a while. Hope you enjoyed the narrative, we sure had a great of fun. Final mileage for Missouri was about 400 miles and New England was about 1400 plus miles. The only regrets was that several of the Nation Park sites we wanted to tour were shut down, because of the little children in DC.
