Fragmentary 1813 obituary segment with disjointed details
An OCR fragment from a 1813 notice mentions a family of blue children born to Jorge Wand Inabella Roseberry and references a sequence of places and people including Sembeley, Mr and Mrs Kinder, Shem, and Jarvis. The legible portions hint at a journey to a cabin on a new edge of Tray and nearby locales with unclear dates or clear events.
