• (from an original letter) 4th Mo., 22nd, 1933 Dear Mrs. Wildman, Enclosed please find the picture of Amos Lee, as promised. My daughter, Nellie Amelia thought you might like to see the line of ancestry, so I traced it out. I do not know your ancestral grandmother's maiden name, as my records trace our line only after my grandmother's father Amos (with) Sarah Lee. We can trace the Pims back to Richard born about 1580. Young folks are not so interested in genealogy sometimes as we are when we get older. So if thus is not interesting to you, you can just scrap it. Cordially Mary R. Walker {ed. note Mrs. Wildman is Elizabeth Lee Wildman (Bean) born 1906} contributed by Mrs. Wildman's grandson, Michael M. van Beuren {note: The Amos Lee mentioned is the one born Feb 3rd 1797, son of Sarah Pim Lee and Amos Lee}
