….But In Addition => A JUNE 29 2016 EMAIL From Lorna Baldner Grow, Filled Out More of The Importance Of These Findings, For The Sarah Vinke Biography (SVB), In Which Lorna Says =>
….”In order to have a better understanding of Sarah Winnifred Jennings, we look back to the family, whose Great Grandparents, Zebulon and Rhoda (Leslie). Jennings, natives of New Jersey, [who had] moved to Penn. Life during the early 1800's was primarily rural with hard working families barely eeking out a living. However, Sarah W. Jennings’s Grandfather Henry, decided to on (speculation) to purchase ~1200 acres In Iowa, and eventually move there.” …. [The writing of SVB] “Doesn't have to be "Like" a novel, but can be more narrative. I bet your daughter [Margaret] would be good at suggestions. Let her study about it and she will come up with some more
ideas. ”
Next Lorna Suggests An Example Of Sarah Finke Biography Writing:
….”Why would a young farmer in Fayette Co. Pennsylvania, with a family of twelve, buy land in Dallas County Iowa in 1854, 8 years after Iowa became a state in 1846?
…At that time, [his son] Jacob Jennings was 3 years old and his father Henry Jennings (I can't figure out if Jacob was born in 1851, and he was 41? when he married Catherine Bromfield Henry had 12 children. [We can] Can generally state the Jacob was one of 12 children. Without going into detail can put their migration 9 years after he bought land. This intro might be an introduction by way of a forward or preview or something like that.”
