Tombstone Tuesday ~ More Greeleys

These gravestones were photographed at the Senter Burial Ground, in Hudson, New Hampshire.  It is located very close to the Londonderry border.  I live not too far from this burial ground, and near Greeley road where Horace Greeley's grandparents had a farm.   I previously blogged about the Greeley family, and the famous Horace Greeley, at this link:  http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2010/03/horace-greeley-remembers-londonderry.html

  1. My husband is through another line of the Andrew Greeley Family (his 9th great-grandfather). His line most recently (before moving to Maine) was from the Hopkinton and Kingston area. Thank for publishing this, my mother-in-law will love it. She was always told they were cousins of Horace growing up.
