I just thought of something. My mother had a line with the last name of Carpenter. She told me once that we are related to an astronaut named Scott Carpenter and (possibly) Richard and Karen the singers. But they could not be considered ancestors because two of them are still living.

Too funny I have to find where I have the book stashed. I write poetry too!! I will have to dig for the book I know what it looks like but not where it is right now. I will look up Bell, Mine would be Manning or Morrison.

On my Mom's side, we are related to J.Edgar Hoover (per family gossip- not proven yet to my satisfaction). On my Dad's side two of my many greats removed were deans at WV University and have a building named in their honor on campus. From what I have heard, the Purinton clan has the longest running family reunion in Mass. than any other family reunions in the USA.
