Joey's question is:
This Maine author's father was the founder of 'Youth's Companion', the first magazine specifically for children. His brother was a composer who wrote the tune for 'It Came Upon the Midnight Clear', and his sister was also an author. Who is it?

Nor think I. But we all know the cruelty of my sister Meg.
Meggy's not cruel!!!
Emma wrote: "Meggy's not cruel!!!"Thank you, Emma! 🥺
Hints...this author was born a poet, was born in the same city as Longfellow, and wrote one of my favorite poems, which I don't think anyone else knows is one of my favorite poems. 😂

She would be the one to know your jokes. 🤣
Emma wrote: "Meg wrote: "And you did have one name right earlier, Emma! 🤣"I did?? 🧐🤔 Then why didn't you tell me then!!!!! 🤣"
The first name, but not the last name!
Meg wrote: "Emma wrote: "Meg wrote: "And you did have one name right earlier, Emma! 🤣"I did?? 🧐🤔 Then why didn't you tell me then!!!!! 🤣"

I just looked back, and I've said Noah Webster, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. 🧐
And the only one out of those three it could be would be Longfellow, but you said yesterday that he lived in the same city WITH Longfellow!!
Emma wrote: "And the only one out of those three it could be would be Longfellow, but you said yesterday that he lived in the same city WITH Longfellow!!"Right! And his first name ain't Henry!
Meg wrote: "Emma wrote: "And the only one out of those three it could be would be Longfellow, but you said yesterday that he lived in the same city WITH Longfellow!!"Right! And his first name ain't Henry!"
Yes it is!!!
Okay, if you're wanting Longfellow's brother's name, I just found it, but not in my brain...so I'll wait for Dorry.
