Time and Place: Solomon Butler and Charlotte
I had previously posted most of this material separately, but I wanted to bring it together to show the full picture. Back when I first wanted to know the family history, I was told that we were descendants of Solomon Butler, a free Black man, and a "slave girl." The story preserved Solomon’s name, but not Charlotte’s. Why had her identity disappeared from the family account? While researching the brothers, Anthony and Moses Allmond, from whom I was told that all the Black Allmonds in […]https://genealo.me/2026/08/24/time-and-place-solomon-butler-and-charlotte/

Amazon World Zoo on the Isle of Wight has announced the birth of twin #RedPanda cubs, born on June 17, 2025.
The arrival of the cubs is a success for the zoo's breeding program, which paired 10-year-old female Xiao with 10-month-old male Flint, imported from Belfast Zoo.

We use different cargo bikes for different work, picking the most efficient solution for the job at hand Because it would be ridiculous to use a sledgehammer (truck) to crack a nut (deliver a small parcel to a residential address) #CargoBike #IsleOfWight #LarryVsHarry #Yuba

The #IsleOfWight tells the story of Ginger Tom — a cat that is said slide in and out of people’s letter boxes through the night. If you meet him, and offer him a special type of gingerbread (named after him) he will grant you his ear and give you advice.
But here’s the rub, if he does not like the treat he will not tell you, but his advice will be bad. It is only he enjoys the ginger that he will give you good advice.
If however, he visits and you have nothing to offer, then Ginger Tom will leave, never to visit you again.
A fresh batch of Ginger Toms was baked just this morning: they are thick and soft and made with real ginger.
