Person:Jesse Harvey (3)

My name is Judy Probasco Sargent and I am a great great grand daughter of Isaac and Sarah Harvey. I recently found your website at Ancestry.com and read the paragraphs that were written about their trip to see President Lincoln. I know for a fact that the note they received from President Lincoln and brought back to Clinton County with them is NOT at Swarthmore College. If a note is there it would have to be a copy of the original. My Grandmother, Myra Probasco, was a daughter of Jesse Harvey, (one of Isaac and Sarah's sons) and she told me how the note had been kept in a clock on the mantle for several years. However, Grandpa Jesse threw it out with some other papers before he passed away. I do have a newspaper clipping of my Grandmother reporting that to the local paper also if you would like a copy of that. I have no idea how the note would have ended up at Swarthmore College, but I thought I would share what I knew. Judy Sargent: jsargent@@erinet.com

P.S. I live in Clinton County, three houses west of where Isaac and Sarah once lived.
