| Hood Cemetery. One of the oldest in the Germantown section of Philly. | Some Revolutionary war Vets are buried here including Charles Colladay, my ggggg-grandfather |
|
|
|
| It is a very protected cemetery. Since it is a historical landmark and because it is in a ghetto (the words of our cab driver) | Of all of the Colladay Section this is the most legible. It is John Buddy Bergman the husband of one of my gggg-grand aunt. You can barely make his name out. But it is what led us to discover the other Colladay graves in that lot. |

| A bigger shot with more extend families including Ashmeades and Butchers | The base of the North end of the Brooklyn Bridge. This is where Charles Henry COlladay Lived in NYC. Of course the bridge wasn't there then, and his house isn't there now. |
