McBeth Family Legacy
My family has lived in Veronaville for many years. It all goes back to my too-many-greats-to-count grandfather, Duncan McBeth. He fled from Scotland when King Duncan was murdered and his throne usurped. My great grandfather loved his country and his king, and it pained him greatly to leave it. So he found this place to begin anew, a place called Veronaville, where the old ways were still much in tradition.
It has been 10 generations since my great-grandfather lived in this house, the same house I now own with my family. His diaries and photographs live on, as well as telling our story to each male heir in the family. As I said before, grandfather believed in the old ways and that meant that boys inherited the estate, not girls.
When he first arrived in Veronaville he had very little money. He was able to buy a large piece of land, large enough for his gardening and building hobby and for a great house that existed, at that time, only within his mind.
He began working and slowly earning his fortune. It was hard at first, living with so little, but he knew it would eventually make his family strong.
He worked so hard at times that he would return home and collapse on the sidewalk.
After many nights of sleeping on an old sofa, he was finally able to purchase a bed and some other items he needed for his small homestead.
After a very lucky discovery at work, he received a large promotion and was finally able to build a modest house.
He then decided to focus on finding a wife.
