I'm still waiting for the post when you discover that one of your ancestors hopped on The Hannibal thinking it was the Connecticut River Ferry, except he ended up in London rather than Glastonbury.
I have to say I appreciate the high quality writing of yesteryear on such a mundane piece of news, they stole, “12 white fantails, brown and white feather leggins and carrier pigeons.” Nice, vivid reporting!
Did you try to collect on the $5 reward for tips? :)

Yeah check the passenger list!
This made me laugh - I'll have to look into that...
