My great geandfather was also Frederick Dearborn Wight, by way of May Quine (Wight). My grandfather was Harry Quine. May & Harry had 4 son’s, Tom W.Quine,Richard W.Quine,Harry W. Quine, and Jack W Quine. Jack died at burth, and after my grandfather died, The children were put into military school in Denver.
after that thay moved to california.
My father died in 1975, and my uncle’s soon after. I’m looking for some family history. Any History on F.D. Wight, sons, daughters, anything on May and Harry.I know F.D.Wight did not approve of Harry and May and disowned or disinherit May for marrying him (or other reason’s ?)
Also I found a letter F.D.Wight wrote when in the Army(1st Division, 5th Arny Corps. at Appomqattex.)This is where I found it–
Saddleback Vally trails

Usually on large shell. Especiall in Florida, and along the Eastern Coast. Does anyone know what the symbol stands for?

I most recently visited the gravesite in July,2007. It is a remarkable monument, considering his death in 1903
