The entire North family that resides in and around the Tampa Bay area loved your article on "our" family's cabin in Lansing, New York. How great that the cabin, or any structure, would survive that many years. Although I have never visited your Lansing - the North's first stop after leaving the Royersford, PA area outside Philadelphia in the 1790s, my daughter and I did vist Lansing, Michigan in 1995.

Although I am a great family genealogy buff, I've not yet had a reason to tour Western New York. Until now. Do you have additional photographs of the cabin? Or more family history? Were any Norths there to see the moving. Are there any Norths still living in Lansing? When they moved in the 1830s I don't think any of my North family stayed behind.
Again, great article, Google is so, so great.

Please do publish my email and include my email address. I hope to hear from "cousins" as well as any of your readers who may be interested in the North family that spent 3-4 decades in your beautiful part of the country. We have visited the family's original home site outside Philadelphia several times, it's right where MINGO CREEK empties into the Schuylkill River, 20 miles west of the city. They all left just after the war ended and traveled to your area with their "payment" for service in the colonial army. And, then, as you're aware, the entire family moved "west" to Michigan. I have an extensive genealogy and love to share.
