Follow up comment by Deanna Robert Roessler @ 21:31: Colin Angus Mackay that is the Resor’s house where my mom was a nanny. Governor Resor and his wife Jane had 7 boys. Jane’s maiden name was Pillsbury. Yes that Pillsbury. They were amazing people and we had contact with them until I was in my late teens early twenties when Mrs Jane Resor died in a car accident.
