Forget-Me-Not



REQUIEM

T.M.Glover, USN Seabees WWII

Under the wide and starry sky,
    Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
    And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you grave for me:
    Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
    And the hunter home from the hill.

(Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850-1894)

  4. I've also been looking through the branches of our Glover family tree for years with little info prior to their emigration to America. In fact, there are different, but possibly related, Glover families on both my mother and father's sides. If you use the "search" tool on my main page, you can read more about what I've discovered. Who knows? We might be cousins! (You may know better than me, but since "Glover" was a trade, it may have been a common name throughout England.)

  5. Glover, your well written and descriptive adventures of Matthias Button is greatly appreciated. I am his 8th G-G-daughter...now researching his father, Thomas Button, Sr. born/died in Harrold Bedfordshire, England. Such a journey! God bless you in this adventure.

  6. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. My father was adopted so I am painstakingly trying to put the pieces together (Thank God for DNA) and Hezekiah Hoar is showing up as my 9th great grandfather.
