Good Things to Eat

The things to eat which Grandma | knew how to make out of material: grown on the farm were legion. Per- haps there was only one thing which. she made more popular with the men: 7.

Grandma would bake three slabs of batter made out of Gramp's spring wheat flour about 14 to 16 inches square. On her big blue platter she would lay one of those slabs of baked dough witil a bit of butter spread over the surface and then spread a thick layer of wild straw- berries, juice and sugar. On top or this a second layer just like the first proceeding. Then on top of these two compartments a third layer with all the accouterments was laid, thus making a three story structure bf the most enthralling and stomach satisfying food ever devised by the brain of woman or ever to bring a grin to the hired man's face.

BOONE, SCIDMORE,

REYNOLDS

References state that Col. Daniel Boone's daughter Rebecca married Philip Goe. Many years ago the fol- lowing was received from a descend- ant of Daniel. "Rebecca, daughter of Daniel married a Mr. Scidmore and had a daughter Susen Scidmore: Reynolds of Shelby county, Mo. who. had son Daniel Reynolds who mar- ried Mary Mitchell and lived In Mas- well, Calif. where a son Clarence S. Reynolds was born Oct. 31, 11871." Is there one generation missing in my data? Or did Rebecca marry twice? (I have history of children of Clarence).

REYNOLDS, SCURLOCK PERKINS

Clarence S. Reynolds '(see above) married Louisa A. Curlock, daugh- ter of Levi and Henrietta C. (Mead) Scurlock. Levi born Sept. 30, 1843, Ohio? Iowa? Was soldier in Civil War, son of Thomas, married 1838 Julia Perkins, daughter of Dan

Erastus Lewis Perkins. Thomas Scurlock lived 'Ohio, removed to eastern Iowa, Strawberry Point, to Cheokee prior 1863 the;n to farm on Richland Creed, near Waverly, Tenn. about 1890 where he died prior 1900. Thomas had brothers John (his twin said to have married Emily Jane Perkins and had son Clinton D. who lived In Iowa City, Iowa); Joshua (who went to Kansas prior to Civil War); and Hugh who went to Cali- fornia. Want data Thomas Scurlock and maiden name of Julia's mother, wife of D. E. L. Perkins. (Thomas and Julia Scurlock had 13 children: Erastus, Jasper, Levi, Newton, John, Scott, Francis, William J., George W., Henry, Mary A., Thomas H., and Susan M.)

Spotsylvania county. She was the daughter of Daniel Bolling and wife (who ?) She had brothers, Daniel and Lewis. At some time (when ?) the family moved to or near New Albany, Ind, where the sons Daniel and Lewis lived and died. Sarah Elizabeth Bolling on March 4, 1847 married Isaac Franklin Biggs, of Elizabeth, Harrison Co. (farmer). They lived at or near Ellzabeth, Ind. until 1865 when their 9th child was born. There were 13 children. I think more were born in Elizabeth, Ind. Sarah Eliztbeth died 1884, buried in Jasper, Co., Ind. where they had liv- ed six years. Medamsville cemetery.

Daniei Bolling was direct descend- ant of Pocahontas, theIndian maid through the marriage of Robert Bol- ing to Jane Roife, daughter of Thom- as Rolfe (son of Pocahontas) and Jane Poythress.

I wish to establish the direct line of Sarah Elizabeth Bolling Biggs to Robert Bolling, to Pocahontas.

I have the book Pocahontas and her descendants, but it is only thru the 7th generation.

There is a book Bollings in Am- erica but very scare also I believe a record of Stitle.
