The couple then relocated to a house on Federal Street not far from Sally's childhood home. In 1835, Sally passed away, and George, as often was the custom, married her sister, Betsy.
Despite a slew of suitors, Betsy had remained single. According to family tradition, on the night of George and Sally's wedding, she made a vow to her lonely father that she would never leave him. And she hadn't; the loyal daughter lived with Jerathmael until his death in 1827.

Now, after nearly 5 years of the illegal occupation of Iraq and over 5 years of the immoral occupation of Afghanistan, we all know, even those who watch the propaganda news networks and are in denial, that this war is not only gone horribly wrong from day one, but is a sham based on deceit.

Seinfeld’s Kramer Ruins Career With Racial Insults (UPDATED)
There's an old line: "When I told people I wanted to be a comedian, everyone laughed at me. Today, I'm a comedian, and no one's laughing at me now!" Was that written for Seinfeld's "Kramer," Michael Richards? Richards, a veteran comic actor, sketch comedian and longtime cutting-edge comedian unleashed racial-epithet crammed rant onstage at The Laugh Factory, sparking a firestorm that will most certain downsize — if not virtually destroy — his career. Yes, he'll still have his Seinfeld residuals. But so much for product endorsements, major Hollywood parts or a new TV show. He is now damaged goods. The story was broken via a video posted on Harvey Levin's great show biz news site TMZ.com: Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A.
