Description

The beginning of this letter is of Julia thanking Minnie for pictures she took of an older family house. Julia also thanks MInnie for a photo of an old church. There is a photo of the cemetery that has the tombstone of her grandfather and another has Attaway Guyther Shadrick's tombstone. There are some mentions of correspondence between her and Olive Guyther Hodgkinson. One major thing of note was an article from the Washington Post Minnie sent Julia on the Dent Family History. It brings up that there was 900 acres of land in Charles County called simply "Guyther". Julia figures it must've been owned by Nicholas Guyther. According to Julia she was certain that their cousin Jennie's mother was one of the "Cheverell" girls. Minne also wrote to Julia about a Dr. Arthur Hebb who may be related to the Guyther family. Julia says there was a John Guyther in the 1700s who had a daughter named Jane Guyther. She thinks the may be a connection through Jane.
