<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aquitaine, post: 3813489, member: 602&quot;]Local, no. But having grown up summers for a lifetime on Block Island, and Mom having bought property there, often with decrepit old houses on the property, which often had abandoned old contents that she sometimes wound up selling and sometimes donating to the Historical Society there, I still have some things and am still somewhat involved, although minimally at this point.&nbsp; But B.I. Goes back to the 1600’s and it’s first settlers which I believe also included Massasoit Indians, so it has a deep history!!&nbsp; I also have some old papers/records which I have NO CLUE how Mom wound up with them, which WILL go to the Historical Society involving what was common practice back in the 1800’s to “indenture young men/boys until a certain age” when they then became free to stay on or move on!&nbsp; GREAT READING!!!!&nbsp; I love this old ‘stuff’ but know it should be preserved, and so it will be!!!!&nbsp; SORRY for the tome!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
