Re: Halfpenny, Kent Eng

Around the 1750's William and John Halfpenny were father and son (or son and father) Architects. They were the first to design what we call gazebos. It comes loosely from the Greek, meaning I am able to gaze. Have you found that most of the Halfpennys were at one time Jewish. Kent Synagogs could possibly have records. Although I that most of us were from York. My Halfpennys settled in Baltimore. Lee Halfpenny is a second cousin and had a reputation of being a boxer.
