Thomas Briggs b1828 Edinburgh, deep mine shaft contractor
I have an 1885 Shaker Almanac that has an etching of him and a 7-page article/ testimonial about his life and recovery from persistent illness through the use of Seigel's Syrup, an extract of roots made by the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon, NY.
Will scan and e-mail if interested.
If you have any American Hopkins in your ancestry, please let me know. Thanks, Lee
