I come from a family of Straws in New Hampshire. My father is Robert who was born in Lebanon, NH in 1928. There are 4 of us siblings living in New England and one in Wyoming. I'm looking for information about our ancestors. I know that in the 1800's, there were Straws who were bosses at the Amoskeag Mills in Manchester and I believe that there was a Governor of NH who was a Straw. I'd like to find more specific information.
