Like many others here, I am also a descendant of Samuel and Catherine. Their busy lives were intriguing as they accomplished so much. Truly a love story and lots of historic tales. When I was young, I remember dressing up in the time period attire and walking in the Milesburg bicentennial parade. My grandmother, Verna (John) Miles was pictured in the National Geographic magazine at this parade. If anyone knows where I can obtain a copy, I would so much appreciate it.

The portraits were created by the famous painter Gilbert Stewart around 1823. I'd like to send a photo of the paintings but I'm not sure how to do that on this web page.
