Plot:

Daniel Trowbridge out of Travis was my great Uncle. He is buried, now, at Osage City, Kansas and has a name plaque on the Avenue of Flags at the cemetery there.

The Trowbridge roots of my grandmother Rosa Ethel Trowbridge and Daniel's (her brother) go back to the Captain Trowbridge who served with Admiral Nelson in battles which preserved the English way of life of that era. The archives of the family are in Trowbridge, England and Taunton, England. Thank you so much for all the work you have done in this bit of history.
