  1. In the back of an old picture frame I have uncovered a pastel drawing of a lady with the tag Aunt Famy. My mother believes it to be a picture of the sister of her great grandfather, Rev. William Linton of Paint Pank, Va. Her given name was Euphemia.

    • Oh, how interesting! Euphemia Carson Linton, born c. 1815, was the daughter of John Barton Linton and Susannah D. Jarvis. Their other children were William, Sina, James B., George A. and Seth Linton. John Barton Linton was the son of William Linton and Euphemia Nisbett.
