Dillingham Blvd

If you read my last post, you know that my relatives helped to dismantle the Jamestown Exposition homes at Sewells Point. Some of the homes were saved and  became part of what is known as "Admirals' Row" on the Naval Base.

Naturally, I wanted to know more about these homes, so I googled them. To my surprise, I discovered that the famous homes are on "Dillingham Boulevard," named after Admiral A. C. Dillingham.

Whoosh! Mind blown... I contacted the Dillingham family expert (in England) and learned that I am descended from the New England Dillinghams and so is Adm. A. C. Dillingham. The Admiral is my cousin. And an important road is named after him in my own hometown.
