My dear POE "scounderals" of an sort..just kidding...."Biscuit" is the name of an popular dog over here that teaches the little kids to read in Pre-school. But to me...when I think of Biscuits...I think of " Michie Tavern" back in Virginia...it's historical and has been around since the late 1700;s and its thier main thing they are known for..making biscuits. The tavern...it  actually started out an grinding mill and graduated to what was known as an "ordinary" in it's day..or Tavern..like like your pubs over there....now an restruant. I think of thier Ham biscuits using cured,. Virginia Ham molasses beans and ale for starters and I'ved made many what they called "Christmas Welcomng Bread"  in the past also. Michell's are ancestorial family kin to the Reed/Reade family...wives are sisters. One sister is my paternal mother's side..most likley kin to Bemjamin Franklin's wife as they were quakers also..But Lawson's owned many Taverns back in Kentucky..esp Zachariah...he was quite weathly from his tax records. President William Hnery Harrison in his eary years was his land surveyor for many of them...most ot eh family has documents on all thier works of the day. These taverns served the first National Road across the US at the time..or highway...in it's day for the employees whom felled planks and laid them down for the roadway. Another thing that came out of this was stage coach Inn's..of which one ran in front of Col. James Martin's house. I have information about his house and Inn from their historical sociiety back east...anoither item of this Reed-Larkins marriage out to Oregon eventaully. Our presitgious Massachcusetts (Charlestown) Edward Larkin was an wheeler by trade I understand....and wheels are an part of not only "sacred geometry to these "Masonic Lodge" memebers...but they also are prime to transporation for all  mankind. Many of them went down as farmers by trade when they were not building the nation in roads.Col. James Martin was also an road surveyor also..besides John Lawson most likley...and also Indian Tader for the Government  through his daughter as well...Susan Gist out of Baltimore Maryalnd. Because of thier "Masonic Lodge" connections they dealt with many of the French also..as in Paul Reever. John Sevier of Tenneessee..and in general many people whom would stand for American "roots" later on to our history. Today's ethinic affilations is lowly eroding all that as to the part they played in America's early founding.days. My mother's brother...owned three farms and his own trucking liine back east last time we talked..so its still much into the family. He is the last of my mother's generation left...may not be alive by now..have no idea...I know his wife "Eleanor" passed away some years back. .
