I've uploaded the first story to my Articles page, here.
I originally submitted a version of this (with all of the citations present and kept under 3,000 words!) for the IHGS Diamond Essay competition in July. It was shortlisted but didn't win, but I was happy that my first foray into genealogical essay-writing wasn't a complete write-off!
Part of the purpose of publishing it here, aside for a story for good folk to read, is to make it discoverable; perhaps there is further information out there and, some time in the future, someone else will be able to put more pieces of this story together.
I hope you enjoy it!
