GDG- Meade's grave

[128thpa at comcast.net]

Walter:

Thanks for the info on the good General's grandfather.  I am familiar with him as he was a friend of Elizabeth Graeme of Graeme Park in Horsham, Pa, outside of Philly.  Meade's grandfather was instrumental in Elizabeth gaining her home back after it was taken away because her husband was a Loyalist.  The home belonged to Elizabeth through her father.  Lots of intrigue here, but not the place to talk about it.
