Happy Black Friday!
My family tree has some roots in New Gretna. Sears, Allen, Mathis, Cra(n)mer, Leek, Gauntt. I'll stop there for now! ;-)
Last night I had Thanksgiving with four generations of direct Mayflower descendants! If you descend from a New Gretna Sears, you too are likely a descendant of William Brewster.
I look forward to seeing Bass River genealogy and history discussed here.
And thanks to Pete for all his dedicated hard work preserving Bass River Township history!
