Details regarding scanned image of Thones Kunders Signature

Judge Henry Clay Conrad, renowned historian/jurist of Wilmington, DE, wrote in 1891: Some Scraps of History of Thones Kunders and his Children. This dealt primarilly with the descendants of Henry Cunreds, the fourth son of TK. It is in the Judge's book that TK and all his sons' signatures were featured. A very few errors (like the # of siblings of Samuel, founder of Cunard Lines), nothing was further written about the family until Amy Metcalf Bowen's Descendants of John Conard of Loudoun Co, VA, 1939. These two books made the base of our works begun in 1957, Athlyn Lucille Perrigo Beckenhauer Luzier, 1913-96 and myself. The amount of plagiarism has been astounding. There have been three updates on Judge Conrad 's (yes, he used Conrad) work, done by descendants of John & Sarah Conard of Plymouth Meeting. About ten generations of Conards have been birthright members of Plymouth Meeting, Whitpain twp., Montgomery Co, PA. My group left PA c1757 for Loudoun Co, VA along with a lengthy procession of PA folks, mostly Quakers.
