I have a pic of the girl in a window, clearly, as I was leaving I snapped a few random pictures of front of house, the picture shows the little girl clear as day!
Mike Harris , Could you please upload this photo of “Katie” seen in the window? I would really like to see it. It has directions below how to upload an image. Thanks in advance.
Mike, Do you still have the photos?
did you ever receive the pics from Mike?
I have them and a few more!
Thornbury Farm is closer to the opening engagement of the Battle of the Brandywine (the wall at the Birmingham Friends Meeting House) than the final one, which took place on the high ground south of Dilworthtown.
I used to ride there when I was a lirtle girl. I witness a few odd things. The horses would plant their feet and snort at the farm house. Also, I saw about 10 horses running in a small circle in and open field as though there was something surrounding them. The field is where the battle took place. Lastly, the radio would often change by itself to classic music. I have more stories as well.
