Robin's First Dinner
Robin's First Real Dinner after her surgery, was fun to make. No Chef Boy-R-D here! Starting at the top - Sliced Tomato with Basil, Rice and Peas and then Braised Scallops in a Mango-Peach Reduction. And to help smooth it out, homemade Sourdough Bread. I think better than Denny's. Cheers!

Welcome to the Milton G Young Extended Family blog. This blog is designed for family members and family information. Have you traveled and have photos? Blog them. Have new family members? Blog them. Anything of family interest is encouraged. Besides with the cost of gasoline, airline tickets, hotels and rental cars, this may be the economic way to go.
"OVER THE RIVER AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO GRANDPA GREATS HOUSE I WENT; ON THE WAY WE BOUGHT SOME CHOCOLOTES FOR GANDPA GREAT TO EAT; HE KEPT HIS CHOCOLOTES IN A BOWL AND PASSED IT AROUND FOR MY BROTHER AND I TO TASTE; SOME PEOPLE SAY HE WAS SMART, SOME PEOPLE SAY HE WAS HARD WORKER, BUT I WILL REMEMBER HIM AS A GREAT SHARER." Abby Manning, July 23, 2005
The Wilsons came from Temple, Midlothian, Scotland (Clan Gunn) on the "Queeen of the West" and landed in New York City, NY on 1 March 1852. They were railroad people, both in Scotland and in Pennsylvania.
The Wests probably came from England. James Dixon West was a Captain in the Civil War for the Pennsylvania Regulars (Bucktails) and was probably at the surrender of Robert E. Lee. Mahlon Hibbs West - younger brother to James Dixon - was also in the Civil War (Maryland Company) and was sent to Andersonville Prison (GA) where he died of starvation. I have seen his grave marker at the National Cemetary in Andersonville.
Benjamin West, Sr was a renown colonial artist/painter. He studied in Europe and has been said to be the "American Raphael". He was commissioned by Kings and Popes.
The Youngs immigrated sometime prior to 1800 (Peter Young). The Gabriels came from Herbon, Duchy of Nassau, Germany in 1836. The Gabriels had one of the first woolen spinning mills in Allentown, PA. and were responsible for bringing to the area one of the first Jaquard looms. Their hosiery and knitted clothing was reknown throughout the East and in the mid-West. The Allentown Woolen Mill, later known as Henry Gabriel's Sons or "The Allentown Hosiery Company" was in existance until 1905 when it was moved to Coopersburg, PA. The goods produced were "... figured goods, coverlets, quilts, flannels, etc., for the farmers of the neighborhood who supplied the wool.".
