I have an old teapot that my mother-in-law, Maida, gave me many years ago. I treasure it because it meant so much to her. It had once belonged to her Grandmother Rosanna Fancher Thomas. The teapot had a tray to match but when the Thomas household was dispersed, Maida and her sister, Hannah Rose, split the set.  (The picture to the left of the teapot is a picture of my Granddaughter, "Chloe A Little Bit" and her cousin Joseph meeting for the first time.) This teapot belonged to Chloe's Great--great-great-grandmother! The high chair is one I bought at an auction. It's a great plant stand but a little tippy for a baby to sit in! Jacob and Rosanna Thomas settled in Aztec, New Mexico after traveling by covered wagon from Altamont, Illinois. This was a second marriage for Jacob Thomas. There were several children from his first marriage but only one surviving child, Maud, from his marriage to Rosanna. Front: Jacob Thomas, Maud Thomas, Rosanna Fancher Thomas Back: Elizab
