First, I would like to thank all those who sent me information on and off
the list on small stables built on pillars. Also the
discussion on the Underground RR and its possible archaeological evidence
has been quite interesting. Jim Delle may have
such a feature. HOWEVER,
What happened to my request for information on small lead seals
(KEYSTONE FOOD with the keystone symbol)
dating from the mid-20th century and the Middle Atlantic region??? Has no
one else found such items?
