Thinking of my gg grandfather, William L. Mathues, born today in 1862. He was Treasurer of #Pennsylvania 1904-1905 and was convicted in the PA Capitol Graft Scandal. He died before he was to serve a sentence in Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. #genealogy #history

My ggg grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social died on this date in 1902. Most known for being the judge that convicted Boss Tweed. A true American hero that saved New York City; I will continue to do my best to preserve his memory & legacy. #genealogy #familyhistory

What a remarkable photo to share. A moment from 1906 still looking back at us today. Imagine the stories, hopes, and lives that followed that day. Photos like this turn family history into something you can actually see. Thx for sharing. #Genealogy #FamilyHisto

An interesting #genealogy & #familyhistory fact, my great grandfather was in the same class at West Point as General Patton. #genealogy #history 🇺🇸🪖

My great grandparents' wedding photo from Oct. 1906.

Boss Tweed deserves his own film.

Photo comparisons are one of my favorite #genealogy pastimes. In this one I think my grandpa George looks a lot like his great grandfather, @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social

There’s a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from caring deeply about someone who’s been dead for 200 years. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

I want to take a moment today to honor my great grandma, Eleanor, who was born on this day in 1890. My Dad's Gaga, the granddaughter of @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social. A woman who lived an interesting life & had many unique experiences & opportunities. Wish I could have met her. #genealogy #family

On this #PresidentsDay I reflect on the time I held in my hands an original letter that was penned by George Washington. It was once owned by my ggg grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social #genealogy #history #USA 🧬🇺🇸📜

Susan B. Anthony was born #OTD in 1820. She dedicated her life to women's #suffrage, and campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's property rights, and more: susanbanthonyhouse.org/her-story/bi...#OTD#suffrageActive until she died in 1906. She never got to vote in her lifetime (well, legally that is).

@jernealogy.bsky.social I thought you would appreciate this record I found in a 1900 edition of the Chester Times regarding my gg grandfather, William L. Mathues calling on the Weather Bureau for the Media, PA bi-centennial celebration. #weather #meteorology #genealogy

Found this great caricature of my gg grandfather, William L. Mathues in a 1900 issue of the Chester (PA) Times. Definitely a reminder to not skip leg day...🤣 #genealogy #history

I'd like to share these two photos I was able to purchase of my 3rd great grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social from the Brady Handy Collection taken during his stint in #Congress as US House Rep from 28D of NY. #genealogy #ushistory #familyhistory www.loc.gov/collections/...

Thanks for sharing! I was thrilled to discover I am related to her through my Wilson ancestors. #genealogy

This #familyhistory fact still blows my mind. My gg grandfather George T. Montgomery was one of the Masons guarding the GW Bible during President Harding's inauguration. #genealogy #history www.gwbible.org/the-bible

Today marks a sad day in my #familyhistory. My gg grandfather, William Lincoln Mathues, Pennsylvania State Treasurer 1905-1906 died way on this day in 1908. His shocking death was attributed to pressures from his involement in the PA Capitol Graft case. #genealogy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William...

Why is this in my saved photos?

Thinking of my paternal grandparents, George & Bam married on this day in 1947 in #NYC at Grace Episcopal Church on Broadway. #genealogy #familyhistory

@lronlacy.bsky.social I see you often share about the Saturday Evening Post. I'd love to confirm if the man in center (holding book) of this Raeburn Van Buren #Prohibition era print from 1925 #Philadelphia Sat Eve Post is based on my great grandfather. ebay.us/m/WnBVlr

🎸HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH RICHARDS!🎸 Keith is 82 today! May he live 82 more 🥳 Here's a portrait I drew of him for his special day 💖 #KeithRichards #TheRollingStones #RollingStones

I grapple with the discovery that my paternal great, great great, & great great great grandparents were all literal millionaires, yet I grew up in poverty. One medical tragedy changed the fortunes, opportunities, social standing of my family. #Genealogy #Ancestry #FamilyHistory

Snazzy dressers run in my family. Richard Harding Davis-my great great grandma's 2nd cousin. My great grandpa. My grandpa. Me. 😂 #genealogy #familyhistory #fashion

Daniel Huntington's painting of my ggg grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social that still hangs today in the NY Supreme Court. It was commissioned in honor of his retirement in 1886.
