Month: May 2016

On Saturday April 30, the society held its monthly lunch meeting in Richland, with more than 32 people present. Longtime member Carol Burritt of Elbridge brought a dress and hand bag that belonged to her ancestor Elizabeth Harmon Kent (1773-1817) who was one of the first settlers of Redfield with her husband Deacon Amos Kent. The cotton dress is in remarkable condition and the patchwork handbag is a unique everyday item that is seldom passed down in such good condition.
