From Uncle Will Finch's letter (July 9, 1906) written by Pearl Eugene Harrison (Aunt Lolly):

My grandfather, Joseph, and his brother, John, landed in New York City just after the Revolutionary War. They came from London and were from Warwickshire. We're related there to the Cabel Loft family and to the DeLawney, Staunton, and Courtenay families. My grandmother Finch was a Mary Stewart, closely related to Mary Stuart of history----the orthography of her name (Stewart) indicating the English branch of the family.

On the arrival at New York, my grandfather remained in New York and Uncle John went to South Carolina, from whom nearly all the Southern Finch family is descended. The family names of Joseph, John, William, Charles, Henry, Eliza, Mary, Sarah, Jane, and Harriet runs through both families and the family resemblance is very strong.

My father had two brothers, William Staunton and Charles, and sisters, Sarah, Maria, Eliza, Jane, and Harriet. Do not know what has become of them, as immediately after the Civil War, as soon as they learned of my adherence to the Southern Cause, they disowned me and I have ever since been an alien from that portion of the family. My grandfather Finch lived partly in New York City and partly in Belleville, N.J., 12 miles from the city.

On my mother's side, her father, Elijah Kress, was of Holland Dutch descent----her mother, Silsby of Puritan stock. She (mother) was born in Bath, Steuben Co.,N.Y., but during her childhood moved with her parents to Clarence, 18 miles east of Buffalo, N.Y. where she married my father. I was born in Buffalo in September, 1830. In 1832 we moved to St. Thomas, Canada West (now Ontario) where your mother, Mary Emma, was born. Shortly after, my father was arrested as a "Yankee spy" by the notorious Colonel Pierce and after examination, was banished from the province under penalty of death, and in a heavy gale, we were forced to take passage on a sail vessel for Detroit, where the cholera was raging.

We passed though this suord ordeal, and the next year found us at Monroe, Mich. where father had charge of the U.S. Arsenal. 1837 or 1838 we went to Adrian, Michigan, where in 1840 your Aunt Amelia was born. The next year we returned to Buffalo --- then to Erie, Pa. Where we resided a number of years --- then to Mercer, Pa., then to Greenville, Pennsylvania, from whence our family came by sections to the South and here we have been for nearly fifty years, an isolated branch of the Joe Finch (NewYork) family.

On my mother's side, one of her sisters (Hannah) married a Robert Eunoon, of Scotch descent, who lived in New York City. His son, Eugene Eunoon, was a brenet? Colonel of the 6th N.Y.Regiment (bloody sixth) in the Civil War.

Now I have given you in brief, the outline of our family history. On the one side we are English and Scotch origin ---on the other, of Holland Dutch and Puritan stock. Now shake all together and determine, if you can, what you are. Well, I sumit up thus --- I am eligible to the St. George's Club on account of my English ancestry --- to the Caledonians, for my Scotch lineage --- to the Knuke? bockers? through my Holland Dutch grandfather and to the Mayflower or Puritan stock through my good grandmother Selsby, and to the Revolutionary through the same and last, though not least, to the white lily of this glorious Southland by my allegence to her in her days of tribulation and by being discarded by my nearest of kin for my fealty to the land of my adoption. I am not ashamed of my record. The several nationalities in our family heritage combined, make us strictly an essential American, the noblest one of all. Should you visit Niagara, it is but a couple of hours run byrail up to St. Thomas. I have not been there since we were exiled on board a sail vessel in a raging storm. I have a vivid recollection of seeing my father dragged out of bed at midnight by Negro soldiers in British? uniform and carried away a prisoner. This was during the Canadian rebellion of 1833. In 1833, I distinctly remember the hurried preparations for the defense of Monroe from a threatened attack from the Indians. In 1838 or 1839, I was on the first passenger train on the Southern Michigan and Northern Indian R.R. from Adrian to Monroe --- and many, many incidents from my childhood come to my mind.
