Oh my, bless him, indeed.
I don’t know how the test publishing company changed the story. I gather they decided to call the rabbit a hare, and made the eggplant into a pineapple. Also there appears to be something about sleeves. And they made up questions for the students to answer. I would not have done any of these things. But it has nothing to do with me. I cashed the check they sent me after about 8 months, and took my wife out to lunch at a cheap restaurant. I believe, she ordered eggplant.
Unfortunately, in the early 1800s, the distance between Waynesburg and my area is a long way, genealogically. Lots of tall hills and woods that keep people from marrying too far outside the immediate region.
What's your Hawkins ancestor's first name?
I don't even know where I should post this: movies? fanfiction? literary?
Anyway: The Lizzie Bennet diaries, a webseries. The first episode is pretty charming.
William George (1799-1876). I think he probably grew up In Greensboro; at least, his mother was buried there. His mother was from Springhill, a daughter of George Wilson. His father was William George Hawkins, too.

That is all.
But I've always lived where there basically isn't any other Asian population (if only I had known Kat when we were kids!) so it's not that startling.
Such a missed opportunity, Liese! I knew some Asians, but they were Filipino and, mostly, moneyed Filipino at that. One friend's grandpa was the governor of one province, the rest were all kids of doctors. So they didn't think of me as one of them since I'm a halfsie.
But yes, we should have known each other 30 years ago!
eta: Oh, just bless his big old heart to bits.
Huh. I worked for the company that wrote that test. I have no insight to offer.
I just found a reference showing one of my ancestors was fined for "disorderly talking in meeting" in 1648.
I'm finally watching Scandal for the first time, and:
Ooooooooh.
Yes, I finally watch the fist ep this week, and I loved it. What I did not love -- the "naive" little white girl who is going to bring a conscience to the firm. Let's lose her and concentrate on the people making shit happen.
