Meeting a descendant of William Long Dimmitt...

I had the good pleasure of connecting with one of the descendants of William Long Dimmitt!  I searched for information via Ancestry.com, coming across a few listings for William.  Taking a shot in the dark, I sent a few messages.

Much to my delight, a message was returned within a few days.  The 5th (I believe) great grandson of William Long Dimmitt, Arch McKirdy messaged me and provided me a much deeper look into our families history.

Arch is a masterful genealogist, and I am SO impressed with his work.  He provided me with information and photos which I did not have.

Either way, it seems as if William's actions weren't appreciated by the authorities.  I'm curious what it was, if anyone can read this better than I.

I am so grateful for Arch McKirdy and his wonderful genealogical research.  I'd love to hear family  stories he's garnered through the years.  I have a feeling we would get so much deeper understanding of the life of our beloved family.
