I have a copy of a photo sent to me of my great grandfather Percy Sydney Wraight taken I believe between 1890 - 1910 it shows him dressed up and with a small coach replica being pulled by a large pig with two young children seated I would like to obtain if possible a copy of the original photo as well as information re the location correct date and the people shown in the photo. It could have been taken at Ashford or Whitstable or Gillingham, any information would be greatly appreciated

The Beneteau name is derived from this location -- Beneteau dit La Baleine.

all I have to go on is that we are native (mic mac) from canada

Creampuff is a Russian tortoise who Angelique and Jonathan adopted/rescued from a teenager June 2013. They estimated that he was at least 5 years old possible older so his 'start' date is his estimated birth year. Creampuff is expected to live for 35 to 50 years and may outlive Jonathan and Angelique. He enjoys roaming the yard and eating weeds during the summer and sleeping under his heat lamp inside all winter. He does not enjoy the cats sneaking up behind him and tapping his shell but he can't run away fast enough.

Mt. Hareb, East Tenn. Sept. 18th, 1886 Mr. W. J. Bradshaw Dear Sir -- Your letter bearing date July 14, 1886, addressed to Mr. George B. Bradshaw, asking for information respecting the history of his branch of the Bradshaw family, was sent to me, and reached me on the 13th day of September 1886. As I know of no number of his branch of the Bradshaw family or better prepared than myself to give a history, I will give you all I know -- but it will be very imperfect in detail and especially in dates. Mr gret-grandfather was of Wales and spoke the Welsh language. His name an date of coming to America, and occupation, I never heard or have forgotten. He came before the Revolutionary War. He stopped or settled in Maryland or Pennsyvlvania and died before the war, when his family was small and his children young. He left but four children: three sons, James, John and Christopher, and one daughter, Francina. Christopher died before maturity. Francina married a man by the name of Marr and after the Revolutionary War closed, went to North Carolina and settled in ?Caboarrop? County. I know nothing definite with regard to them after this. James, perhaps the oldest son and brother, having obtained some degree of education in Pennsylvania, went to North Carolina and was repeatedly elected to and served with honor and some distinction in the House of Representatives and then in the senate of that State until age rendered it unadvisable to serve longer. He had sons and daughters born to him -- but I know not how many. Some of his daughters married men of respectability by the names of White, Morrison and Weddington. The Whites and Weddington families, so far as known were farmers and many of them moved west after the war of 1812 - and to me, their history is lost in the great west. One son, Amzi, became a Presbyterian Preacher, left Carolina, moved and settled near Nashville, Tenn. soon after the war of twelve - did a great work in moralising the early settlers - and remained until the close of the late unholy war, then went to Texas, and soon died full of years and honors. Some of his family still live in and around Nashville - but I have no particular knowledge of them. John, my grandfather, and ancestor of the line of George B. Bradshaw, of Annapolis, was a boy soldier under General Marion. Perhaps not 18 years old, when Cornwallis surrendered to General Washington at Yorktown. The war over, he appears to have gone to Pennsylvania and learned the Blacksmiths trade and was among the first who discovered the art of putting whoop tyre on a wagon wheel. Prior to his day, irion was put on in pieces as ?felloes? Having learned his trade he came to Virginia and worked some time at his trade. He married in Pennsylvania, Miss Agnes that is Nancy Clendennen. Leaving Virginia he came into what was at that time the territory of North Carolina, now the State of Tenn. and settled in what is now Jefferson Co., east Tenn. He was a Presbyterian and lived a consistant christian life. He followed farming and worked some at this trade until near the close of this life. He died in the 75th year of his life in Dec. 1818. He and his wife had nine children, three daughters and six sons: Elizabeth, Jane, Francina. Elizabeth married Richard Grace and they both died before the family was grown. Some of the children died, the living married when grown, moved to the west and are now lost from my knowledge. Jane married her cousin, Thomas Rankin, the great grandfather of Rev. George C. Rankin of Chattanooga, who is now making himself known as an advocate of prohibition. Jane and her husband, who was a farmer, are both dead long since and all their children, except two, but there is a vast number of grand and great grandchildren living in this community yet, and some in the State of Indiana. Francina married James McQuiston and moved west. The sons are: William, James, Samuel, Christopher, Richard and Thomas, who died when a child. William married a Miss Bingham. his occupation was farming. He became a great musician in his day in this section. During the war of 1812 he enlisted in the regular army as a soldier during the war, so as to secure the double bounty. His bounty embraced Boones’lick in Missouri, and he went to it and his family history after this is to me entirely lost. James was a farmer and blacksmith. He married and moved to Kentucky. Since then I know nothing worth writing. Samuel was a farmer and a carpenter. He married a Miss Dorcas Prigmore of pure French blood -- at an early day in the history of Tennessee, soon after the war of 1812.. He moved west across the Cumberland Mountains into middle Tennessee and settled in Franklyn County, and died there. Some of this children married there and some went into Alabama. How many are still living, what their circumstances and where they are now living, I have no knowledge. Christopher, great grandfather of George Brown Bradshaw, of Annapolis, was a farmer and carpenter. He married a Miss Mary Davis of Jefferson County, Tenn. Having a desire to preach, he left off farming, moved up to Greenville, Green Co., and by his carpenters trade he procured a liberal education at Greenville College, then controlled by Reverent Charles Coffin, who came from Connecticut to Tennessee. He continued under Dr. Coffin until he was licensed and ordained to preach. His famiy meanwhile increasing. He then moved from Tennessee up into North Carolina and settled on ?Reasus? Creek, Buncombe County, three miles north of Asheville. He preached at Asheville and at Mills River twenty miles south of Asheville, and many other points in the mountainous country, until his family was nearly all grown and several of them married. He and his wife raised twelve children -- seven daughters and five sons. The daughters were: Polly, Nancy, Eliza, Ellen, Martha and Harriet. Sons: John, Nicholas, Isaac and William. Of the daughters, Polly never married. Nancy married a Mr. Beard, who was wealthy, having a large interest in the gold mines of North Carolina. He sold his interest and moved to Missouri. Since that, I know nothing of them. (This is where the page is missing--slw) Mr. Taylor, settled in Sweetwater and were doing well until the late wicked war was forced upon the country. For want of knowledge and statemanship in the Chief Magistrate. The Messrs. Charmachale also persuaded her to give her promising son Nicholas to them, giving her asurance that they would do a good part (?) by him. She gave him up and then sold out her interests in the south and came to live with her daughter, the Taylors, in Sweetwater. The war broke nearly everybody -- by the pilaging of the soldiers, both North and South. The war over, the Taylors and the widow left Sweetwater, moved up into Grainger County, East Tennessee and settled near Marshall’s Ferry, on the Holston River where they are now living. The Charmichals kept Nicholas til the war. He being grown, entered the army and fought throught he war as a soldier, then married a daughter of Judge George Brown of Knoxville and moved to Texas and is raising a respectful family of which George Brown Bradshaw is one - to whom you wrote on the 14th of last July. Richard lived with his parents and took care of them until they died. He was a farmer and being fond of reading, tho he never attained the self education of Elihu Barrett, yet he attained a high degree of useful knowledge -- by studying and reading all the standard reading he could reach or borrow. He was a great reader of the Bible and acquired considerable political from Jefferson Correspondence and such works. He married a Miss Lydia Prigmore, whose parents were both raised in France. Her father, Joseph Prigmore, was a french sailor. Richard and his wife raised five children, four sons and one daughter. Sons names John, Joseph, Thomas and Hardin. Daughter: Nancy Ann. Richard filled the Office of Magistrate with great credit and then served in the war of 1812 and 1833. Was electd to the Convention that revised and amended the Constitution of Tennessee. He did all he could to change the Constitution so as to end slavery in Tennessee without war, by gradual emancipation, but did not succeed in this humane effort. Yet he lived to see it done away by a vote of the people and another change of the Constitution after the war was over, and died in Oct. 1872 being nearly 86 years old. He was a strong advocate of Temperance and a warm supporter of Home and Foreign Missions and all benevolent enterprises. His family: John, when grown up learned the tanners trade, then he married a Miss Rawlings, settled near the old homestead and carried on farming and tanning and having acquired a tolerable english education and being a natural mathematition, also at intervals taught school. He and his wife had eight children, six sons and two daughters. One son and daughter dying in childhood. They raised six, all lived til the war. One was killed at the Big Bla___? at taking of Vicksburg, another died since the war, who was a fine scholar and a good educator. The others are still living, some here and some in Texas. John is still living in his 77th year. Joseph was raised a farmer and still lived and able to work, a farmer. He married a Miss Sarah G. Blackburn and they had nine children: four daughters and five sons. One dying in childhood they raised eight daughters and five sons. One dying in childhood they raised eight to maturity. Three of these died in the war. The three daughters married. One was made a widow by the war, left with two lovely little daughters. The widow, with the help of her father raised and educated these daughters and they are both married to respectable fine husbands and are starting lovely families. Another daughter married a man named Darr, lived til about the close of the war and died leaving five daughters and two sons to be cared for by a kind father, but scorned at by others, anon highly favored. The father has educated the children well with good prospects and one son is married and doing work as a mechanic on the railroad. The other daughter of Joseph is married to one of her Bradshaw cousins and has five children -- four sons and one daughter and is now educating them. One son is looking forward to the Ministry. Another son of Joseph died just when ready to begin the practice of medicine. The two living sons are married, one has a family of seven children, five sons and two daughters. The other has no children. Next comes Thomas R., the writer of this. With the others he was raised on the farm and when grown, quit the farm and went to Maryville College, then studied Theology in the Southwestern Theological Seminary located at Maryville, Blount Co., East Tenn. and entered the Ministry in 1851 in connection with the New School Presbyterian General Assembly. I married (1) Mrs. Blackburn, she had two daughters, one died in her sixth year. Then my wife died leaving one living daughter. After a reasonable time I married (2) Miss Gap, she had one son and died when he was twelve days old. I gave these children to the Aunts and went to Madisonville, Monroe County and preached there at Sweetwater from 1855 to 1867. In 1861 I married (3) Mrs. Biggs -- she had no children. She was delicate and had a brother in California and from his writings she thought if she were there she would have better health. We went there in 1867 and for one year she appeared to improve, then she began to decline and coninued to decline more and more until it was evident if she remained there she had but a short time on earth. In 1872 we returned to Sweetwater and remained there until Nov. 1883 when she died. In 1863 my second daughter of my first wife died leaving me but one child living -- the son of my second wife. He is grown, a farmer, and a good vocalist. Is settled being married on my old patrimony (?). When my third wife died I broke up housekeeping, left Sweetwater and came up to Jefferson County to live with him the remainder of my days. He has no children. Hardin was a farmer, married Miss Rawlings. They had five daughters and four sons. He and his wife both died before their children were grown. Several of the children have died, those living are mostly married and scattered abroad. One son is practicing Physician in ? County. The daughter of Richard, Nancy Ann, married a man by name of Alexander; he died and her child died. She then married a Mr. Franklin, had one child and he died and her husband died. She raised her son who is a farmer and now married. John, son of Richard is in his 78th year, Joseph is in his 76th year, Thomas near 74 and Nancy Ann about 70. There! I have given the best history of our line of the Bradshaws that I can. So you have not given your genealogy further back than 1828 and New Milford, Connecticutt. I cannot tell whether we are of the same line or not and if we are I cannot tell where our lines connect. But I suppose if they meet at all they must meet in Wales or beyond. Respectfully, /s/ T. R. Bradshaw

Henry was the son of the empress of Germany and grandson of Henry I. Henry knighted Guido and made him commander of the English army and gave him the manor of Kirkling in Cambridgeshire. Among the descendants of Guido de Jeanne, was a Henry de Jeanne, who was a graduate of Oxford, England, in 1611 and became a lecturer on Theology and Divinity in Oxford University. Henry de Jeanne had a son William de Jeanne who was born at Bristol, England, January 25, 1618. William de Jeanne became a student at Oxford University, but was expelled under the “Decrees of Uniformity” that provided that persons not holding to all of the articles of Westminster Creed, could not be educated in the schools, academy, colleges or universities of the realm. William, being expelled as a dissenter, joined Cromwell and became his chaplain. When Charles II was restored to the throne, William de Jeanne fled and changed his name to escape ecclesiastic persecution, hiding for some time in the wilderness of Monmouthshire, where his lst wife, name unknown at this time, died. He then took a ship and came to New Haven, Connecticut, where his uncles William de Jeanne had come with Elder Davenport’s colony in 1634. The uncle was the first town clerk of New Haven and finally changed his name to Janes.(Jayne) William de Jeanne arrived in New Haven in 1670, and in June 1675 when he was past 57 years of age, married Anna(annie ) daughter of John Beggs(Biggs) and the same year in company with ten others went to Long Island sound and purchased what is now the town of Brookhaven. Brookhaven runs from the sound to the Ocean and is twenty two miles lengthwise of the Island. Under a regulation of the crown, the Indian title had to be extinguished before a grant from the crown would be made. Having made their purchase of the Indians, they made applications for a grant from the crown. The names in the deed from Setauket of the Nassau Indians and his associates run in the same order as the names in the crown grant--Nathaniel Brewster, Nathaniel woodhill, William Jayne and Ebenezer Hulse. this grant was completed in 1678, and allotments made to the grantees according to the New England system , the remainder of the land after allotments vesting in the crown. When the town was organized in 1678, William Jayne was made one of the trustees of the town and remained a trustee until 1709, when his son William Jayne Jr succeeded him as Trustee and his second son John Jayne was elected constable and collector. William Jayne I was married on 10 June 1675 at New Haven , Connecticut to Anna Biggs, she was 22(b 1653) the daughter of Thomas Biggs (1622-1704/5). She was his second wife, the first died in England. Anna Bigges Jayne died in 1682 at Setauket or Brookhaven, Long Island, NY leaving 4 children. William married for the 3rd time on or before 25 Aug 1682, Ann Jennings, eldest daughter of John and Ann Jennings of Southampton, Long Island. Ann Jennings died before 1693, when he married for the 4th time in 1693/4, Mehitable Jenkins, a widow about 35 years old. She died 21 May 1727 at Southold, Long Island, leaving 1 son born when William I was in his 82nd year. William's son, William II was a Presbyterian minister, the first one at Seatuaket,LI,NY. William Jayne I;, died 24 March 1714 at age 96 at Setauket, Long Island and is buried in the Presbyterian church cemetery there.

Timothy Jayne died on 20 March 1790, while on an exploring expedition in the lake country of central New York, at a little settlement at the head of the Cayuga Lake, where Ithaca now stands. Captain Timothy Jayne was a tall man, red-headed and utterly fearless. Penna. Archives show that Captain timothy Jayne of Northampton Co. Pa. who formerly lived at Setauket , Long Island, born there in 1741,was sent on a recruiting trip in 1776,to Orange and Suffolk counties, New York to get enlistments for 10,000 men to be known as Hart’s flying company ,which was authorized by Continental Congress early in 1776 ,organized in Brunswick, Pa, July 27, 1776,composed of separate battalions to be ready for any emergency. It is said that he recruited a number of men who were of Jaycee families in what is known as Kaltins Battalion. The following Jayne names were found on the rooster. Captain Timothy Jayne, brother, John Jayne, 2nd Reg Orange Co; Lt Issac Jayne, Ensign Ebenezer Jayne and David Jayne. the fifth brother William Jayne IV, did not serve from Northampton.

Return officers of the 6th battalion of militia in the co of Northhampton , Pa. payroll of Capt Timothy Jayne Co. It is said 59 men by the name of Jayne who served in the revolution and only 18 men of this name survived. Only a few privates escaped death. The officers were exchanged for British officers. Captain Timothy Jayne was exchanged for Captain Swan of the British army. The brothers of Timothy Jayne were all officers except John Jayne. The children of Timothy Jayne and Sarah Allen were: 1.

The witnesses were Ebenezer Jayne, Issac and Elizabeth Jayne and the Witnesses were no doubt his brothers and one of their wives. I cannot account for the other children. William, John, and David Jayne all moved to Luzerne Co. now Wyoming county, Penn and settled near Meshoppen, Mehoopany, Tunkhannock area , Wyoming Co , Pa. William Jayne 4 settled in Wyoming Co. and married in 14 Dec 1797, Elizabeth Bunnell, who was born in Middle Smithfield, Monroe Co Pa and no doubt their families must have known one another and moved to Wyoming Co as I have them being married at Meshoppen, Wyoming Co. Pa. Elizabeth Bunnell was the daughter of Benjamin Bunnell and Catherine Berry. She was born 13 Feb 1781 at Middle Smithfield, Monroe Co., Pa.

Bernard Gadd - Gadd’s grocery shop was the largest of a block of shops on the corner of Heaphy Terrace (now Grey St) and Te Aroha St. The main entrance was on a diagonal across the corner. At the corner was a green painted horse hitching post (still there in a new position) Down the Te Aroha St side next to the shop was a barber’s and at least one other shop, at one time the Misses Rowe’s' home cookery. The other small shop on the Heaphy Terrace frontage was a butcher. Next to the butcher was a metal driveway. At a short distance down it was one (I think) petrol pump and the drive-way ended at the provisions store, a large wood building on concrete base raised about a metre so that vans and trucks could unload onto a small loading dock. In this place were kept the foodstuffs awaiting transfer to the shop- the large cheese wheels in cloth, the sacks of flour and bags of grain, the compacted mass of dates and so on. It was heaven for rats. On entering the shop there was usually a small display of seeds and garden or maybe also hardware items immediately to the left, then beyond that along the wall to the left a counter where bread was sold, usually white loaves, always unwrapped. Beyond it was a small doorway onto Heaphy Terrace. On the left hand side of the shop was the office where Frank often worked on accounts and orders and so on. Where that wall and the one facing the bread counter met was a doorway into the storeroom behind the shop. Between the office and that doorway was a customer filing system comprising a flip down set of hardboard panels to which accounts were attached with clips, and often Frank was seen dolefully examining the overdue accounts. A long counter ran in front of the longest wall attached to which were long rows of shelves reaching to ceiling. A moveable ladder on a runner like a librarian’s ladder could be moved along the shelves. The trick was to remember where the different kinds of goods were shelved. At the end of the counter was a huge refrigerator for butter and cheese and perhaps eggs, and in a recess at the top of that the shop's 'takings’ were kept and the Gladstone bag for Grandpa Herbert Gadd to take to the bank each day. The fourth wall also had a counter in front of it and on this counter were the bacon slicer machine and a simple wire with toggle which was the cheese slicer, and beside them a weighing machine. The shop stocked an amazing array of things from gardening tools and seeds to tea - at one stage anyway Frank and David packed their own blend of leaves; tinned foods, fresh foods, kerosene, cleaning products, biscuits, lawn mowers, rakes, spades, household products of all kinds probably including simple china, tilly lamps, long cakes of taniwha soap that had to be cut into shorter lengths. David used to talk of how they’d tried to persuade Pearson to leave out the carbolic acid in his Pearson's sandsoap and how the factory (now a wool scourers) eventually had to close down because people no longer wanted the strong carbolic. In short, it was very much a general store which for much of its life delivered boxes of orders by van as far as Newstead or by bike. David was the sign writer and prided himself on his blue backgrounds and fancy lettering and figures. The staff were Frank, Dad [David] and in later years Doris plus usually a man or boy. Behind the main shop was the large, dim and odour-filled provisions store with its small upper deck. Here was the row of grain bins for wheat, barley, flour, probably sago, rice, dried peas, and lentils. The bags of flour, the tins of kerosene, paraffin or turps, the boxes of tea, and all products too bulky, dusty or smelly to keep in the main shop. Weevils were a scourge, getting into flour, dates, porridge and so on. Grocery was a labour intensive, physically tough trade. Goods were usually bulk supplied and had to be put into the smaller quantities that customers wanted by the grocers. The cheese wheels were rolled into the backroom, the outer cloth cut away and the inner muslin torn off, the wheels cut into chunks to store in the fridge to await the customer, smaller hunks resting on a wooden square on the counter. There were two main varieties, tasty and mild cheddar. Grain and flour had to be brought in by the little wheeled trolley and emptied into the bins. Dates had to be cut into smaller blocks, kerosene and other fuels that came in bulk transferred into bottles or kept ready to decant into the customer's own container. And shelves had to be restocked which involved carrying quantities up the ladder. Annual stocktaking was a nightmare of constant moving up and down ladders and calling down quantities. During the Second World War rationing made things tougher. I remember the dining room table at home heaped with the ration slips pulled out of ration books, mum and dad counting away. The ration totals had to square with the amounts sold. Petrol was also rationed and that brought a court fine when it was found that the ration slips didn’t quite square with the sales, though dad was always angry about that and the judge’s unfavourable remarks, saying that in fact the discrepancy was on the side of the state not the shop so if there was as the judge claimed signs of dishonesty it certainly wasn't by the Gadds! The cardboard cartons of orders customers left at the shop or phoned in were piled up in corners then sent out in the van or bicycle. They had to be delivered to the back door or housewives were displeased. Since the variety of goods sold was so extensive – sometimes even stocked for a single customer wanting out-dated products - there was always considerable stock in hand. This must have been a strain on the shop’s finances. However, the shop survived the Depression. As time went on rival groceries opened up, including a small member of the Marriott’s chain almost opposite, which eventually went out of business. The next largest grocer was probably at the Five Cross Roads, and those in Hamilton East. As the customer base shrank, there were fewer deliveries and only the three Gadds as staff. Southwell school students came to buy a penn'th of broken biscuits, some of which were broken by the staff in order to keep the kids happy because too few biscuits actually got broken to meet the demand. (I suspect they made a loss on those transactions.) Counters had to be scrubbed down with sandsoap, the floors were bare timber, the light bulbs dim. Many goods were sold in brown paper bags ... I remember a flour bag ripping and me running back to a displeased parent in the shop with a white trail dribbling behind me. Shop hours were long, about 8-5 on weekdays, late night Friday plus Saturday mornings for many years. I have no idea how they continued to work so many years since none of them were in first class health. My father had to resign in the early 1950s unable to stand the pain any longer of climbing the ladders and being on his feet all day. The Gadds were such honest business people that few people could believe they also weren't into over-charging, under-weighing etc. But they paid themselves low wages - I think dad got about $8 a week – and kept profit margins low, and tried to accommodate the quirks of long-standing customers. The values dear to the three Gadds were different from many other businesspeople in the city who assumed that they too must be ardent National Party supporters and I recall one election day (held before a law change on weekdays) women running into the shop to pass on the bad news that they feared National wasn’t doing well. The war years were tough, with not only shortages of things like biscuits but many products were unavailable such as chocolate, lollies and rice and basics like butter and sugar and tea were rationed. The shop belonged to the Four Square group, individually owned grocer shops sharing in a wholesaling arrangement run, I think, by Burgess Fraser. After the shop was sold it was torn down and a more modern style supermarket built. Celia Reed – The hardest thing I found when working in the shop was adding up the prices of goods bought – sometimes up to 20 items e.g. 1/3 ½ d and 15/6 etc in front of a customer; sometimes the lady would be talking to you while you tried to add up or else watching carefully in case you made a mistake! Frank and David could add up so quickly (and I expect accurately too) and made it look easy. Rosalie Williams – The family store was an exciting place for me as a child. I remember the long counters and how busy the shop was. Aunty Dorrie worked there then with her brothers David and Frank. I remember the big tins of loose biscuits in Gadd’s Store and the happy childhood memory of Aunty Dorrie letting me tuck in to the tin of broken biscuits kept under the counter.

I have Skelton & Cooper family on my dad's side, all from the southern states, some were in the different wars. I always hated History now I'm finding out how interesting it can be when you had family there. My family were not very forth coming with stories or information. My dad always insisted we came over from Ireland, but I think good chance could have been England. That's what makes this so interesting. Every once in awhile I get thrown a curve ball I wasn't expecting but more interesting. My mothers side, Borgmann; Fuchs; Gruss; Ortwerth all came over from Germany & very mysterious about their past, No one, including the 14 kids never talked about that part of the family, After they all passed is when I found out my grandfather Borgmann had a brother and sister that were born after they got over here. I've been trying to find out all these secrets and learn why. This side is a big challenge. but slowly I get bits and pieces with a lot of research, and the friends I have met thru places like this, have helped me a lot.

Solomon is a service dog that we, some of the WikiTree team members and supervisors, met when we went to [[Space:WikiTree_at_RootsTech_2014|RootsTech]] in February 2014 in Salt Lake City. Solomon belongs to Tom Flynn, President of the [http://www.avenueofflags.com/ Avenue of 444 Flags], who occupied the booth across from us. Avenue of 444 Flags is a wonderful organization that works to honor the memories of U.S. Veterans in several ways, as their website states, including: *The Avenue of 444 Flags is itself a salute to all honorable American veterans of all wars. *The area within the circles of flags surrounding The War on Terror Veterans Memorial is a Cremation Garden, a permanent resting place for the cremated remains of honorably discharged veterans and their families. *The memorials of those interred in the Cremation Garden aren't chunks of stone planted in one place, telling only the dates of their births and deaths. Rather, they are stories in the Tribute section of this web site that fill in what happened between their births and deaths, accessible from anywhere at any time. *The Tributes pages also tell the stories of many other veterans who have protected your freedoms and your way of life. Some are buried in other places, while some are still living good, productive lives. By these stories, you can learn a lot about the sacrifices they have made to serve you and our nation. You can also learn about American and world history, because links within the stories connect you with the historical contexts in which they occurred. Solomon was trained as a wheelchair service dog so he can do things like remove socks and shoes. He also loves to play catch and get belly rubs. As evidenced by the pictures, Solomon was a big hit with all the WikiTreers! [[Image:WikiTree_at_RootsTech_2014-33.jpg|400px]]

:'''THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS''' :Everybody has a dream of inheriting a million dollars . . . or more . . . and that dream is no different than the dreams our ancestors had. Such is the case with my great grandmother, her sister and her aunt. First the background . . . :Carrie (''signed her letters "Cad"'') and Rosa were sisters, and close ones at that! Rosa was born to Mary Jane Ziegler and her first husband, Joseph Don L. Gantt, and Carrie was born to Mary Jane and her second husband, Jeremiah Mark Carvell. Aunt Julia was Mary Jane's yougest sister, Julian Ziegler Keim. :Julia lived in Newport, Pennsylvania, the area in which she was born and raised. Julia was married to Abraham Frederick Keim. Rosa married John Hamilton, a widower, when her step-father was pastoring in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania and she remained in that area. Carrie married while her father was pastoring in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and she and her husband, my great-grandfather, settled in Washington D.C. :Carrie's husband, Edwin, was an attorney, and as such, saved everything! He saved carbon copies of letters he wrote to our family and attached them to the ones he had received. This is how I came to acquire these letters. There were all in a box my father received shortly before his death. My mother gave the box to me because ''"I was probably the only one interested in all of this junk.''" She was right. :The stage is now set for the series of letters exchanged between the three women. Thursday morning (No Date!) Dearest Sister: Wish you were here this morning so I could talk instead of write. can't write fast enough. Mrs. Mc Cra-- is coming over to help me fix that black silk skirt and jacket this morning so must write a flying hand. You know I told you Hun's new office is all Law and this morning he said "By the way Caddie that is true about Han's Graffs money there is about Three hundred millions in the Bank of England awaiting the heirs to claim it, it is cited as a case in one of the Law books in the Dep't Library and is a true case. We are going up to the Congressional Library to look over some other books and if we can, work up a case. My souls if we only could get hold ever since I am married (seems to be out of context to me!) and guess I always will. I pittied her awfully. Hun is deep in the mysteries of the Graff family and fortune, I have some fine data on the subject. Hans Graff was know in his country as Baron Von Weldon, a member of the peerage and the coat of arms is still in existance. We are going to get a copy if possible and Hun thinks we can. We are in direct line and I have our ancestors back eight generations. I will send you a copy of everything we get when we are through. When we are through getting data we will join the D.A.R. for we are eligible and it only cost $1 to join and two for dues after the first year it is only $2. Hun is going to see it to the end now is going to communicate with the State Dept on the money question tomorrow. The Chief Clerk is a friend of his I think. We were up to the Library again last evening, my! I enjoy this research very much only wish you were here to go with us. I wrote seven letters Wed. trying to find out where Elizabeth Graff and Peter Wolf were married but it seems that is where we are stuck. We have their births but no death or marriage record. But cousin Julia Grove says Elizabeth Wolf was the sister of Philip Graff who was her grandfather and the son of Jacob who was the son of John the son of Hance or Hans, see it is direct. THE REST OF THE LETTER IS TORN OFF (this is the continuation of a letter, however I have no idea which one!) Hun had a lovely letter from Dr. Wolf in Ind. he says the Graff Estate is worth $150,000,000 and the heirs have been advertized for. We have found from records in the Library that Hans Graaf come to the country in 1696 and first settled in Lan. Co., and the original homestead is now ocupied by Levi W. Grove a lineal descendant of Hans. Hans was given a thousand acres of ground in 1716 and another in 1717 by the King and the papers given him are still in possession of this Grove family. This is the same man. Mr. Wolf says he left Switzerland for England in 1695 and came to this country later, which this paper shows was the year following. My! We are getting down to fine points. You see we can go to the Library and get all this information when we know just what they want. I'm going to write to the Groves in Lanc. Co., as soon as we get hold of another book of "Early settlers," which will be a big help to us. We can talk this over when you come. Come the latter part of April as just now the weather is so changable. I am afraid you will take cold, and we want to "gad" when you come. The kids are talking about coming to see you and what they are going to do. Do write me a fat letter soon. Our love to all, Lovingly Cad. Newport March 8th 1900 My Dearest Rosa, I do not owe you a letter, but will write any way, as this will be a business letter. Do you have in your posession any old German Books. that had been given to Uncle Carvell, buy Grandma Lemon. If so would you please look through them and see if they contain any writing. As they are again resorecting (sic) that old long talked of fortion (sic) that the Groves in Maryland were trying to get when your Mama yet lived, but they used the name Grove instead of Graff which is the real german name. well however, several weeks ago there was a letter sent to the Post master in Millerstown, asking him if there was any Woolfs, or Keelys lived in the town or about the county. Signed by Atorney (sic) Jacob Woolf, (from quite a distance, (am sorry I have forgotton (sic) the place) But as the Woolfs have all died, the Postmaster handed it to Charley Keely, who's great grandparents were mine also. So Charley Keely, answered the letter and Atorney Woolf, wrote back saying that he was a son of Benjamin Woolf, who was my grandmas oldest brother (of couse he has been dead for many years, he was a doctor.) He had left his home in Millerstown when quite a young man and wondered (sic) so far from home that his friends never heard from him. I often heard Grandma talking of her brother Dr. So this Lawyer is a son of his, and he has received a letter from the old country saying there is a fortion of millions lying there for old Grandfather Graff's heirs, and Grandma, Lemon's Mamas name was Graff and her father was an Earl born in Wales and when a youth, there was a war broke out between the Catholicks and Protestants and he ran off. And never dared to go back, or according to the laws of their country would have been killed. They say he left a large fortion as his parents were worth millions. and no one else could touch his share and they say it is sixty or more million and in order to get this fortune Mr. Woolf, says they will have to have the old family record which he had heard his father say was translated in English from an old German bible to a Testament at his home which Ellie Adams said she had gotten from her Mother, but when they were burned out the Testatament burned too, So you see that is of no use. They say they must know what the first names of Grandma Woolf's parents were before they can go ahead and move since the Testatment is burned. They thought by ransacking all the old German books that belonged to Grandma Lemon. That they might be able to find the necessary helps. And I promised to help them to look up what I could. At the same time I have no belief that it will ever reach us. But some of the friends are very much excited over it. I told them if I were as anxious as they were, and could not find the names any other way. I would go at once to the old Maryland graveyard, and see if it could not be found on an old tombstone. But Abie sais they would have a good time finding it. But they say that old Grandpa Graff was the only Emigrant by that name that ever sailed from that country, and that we are all h is desendants (sic). Well this may all be, But I don't intend to loose any sleep over it any how ha, ha. Don't suppose you have ever saw such writing, but indeed I am kept so busy that I find so little time for anything like this. Had company all day, and for supper too, and have no help so you see it keeps me very buisy. (sic) Must close. hope to here (sic) from you soon. With Love to all, from both, Ever you Loving Aunt J. Written under this is the name Margreta Hengesson in a different handwriting. Monday Morning Mar. 12, 1900 My Dearest Sister: Will try to write you a more composed letter. I scarcely know what I said in my letter Sat. was so excited and nervous am feeling more like myself this morning. I certainly did have a time of it last week the kids seem to be alright this morning. Buzz looks haggared though. My dressmaker did very well she made my black and brown paid and a light shirt waist, then I fixed over my cheviot skirt took my satin skirt and made me apleated flounce for the bottom then took the blue for an over dress, it looks very nice. My plaid suit is very stylish looking, have the waist trimmed in light blue silk. My shirt waist is sweet. it's blue too, anything so its blue. Here is a sample. Well since I'm an heiress its well I got something to wear in case we are summoned to England suddenly. ha!ha! I for one don't think there is anything in the fortune business, we might have some noble blood in us but as to the fortune, it is queer we never heard of it before. If we can find out the name of the Earl and Grandma's maiden name and what part of Wales they came from, we can get a great deal of information right here in Washington, as Mr. Roberts a friend of ours was born there in Wales and goes over every few years to visit his home, was over last year. Then too, we can go to the Congressional Library where they have the name and record of every nobleman and his family in England, and through friends here we can find out if there is such an estate to be settled, so don't put any money into it before you let us know the Earl's name if you can find out. Of course I know nothing but what you have told me and that wasn't much to work on. There is another way of finding out if this is true by writing to the Consul, of course he will charge a fee, but we will first find out the name and then we will know what to do. I was telling Dr. about it. he gave me some good pointers. Their family has the next to the oldest record in this country. His father has traced his family back seven hundred years. The Camerons are nine hundred years old. Dr. says the most important thing is the mans name. Do you know the name? Wish you had sent Aunt Julia's letter to me so I would know more about it. My guess we will be as rich as the "Sam Hill" my souls! maybe we are related to Em Hill - ha! ha! Wednesday evening we are going to a very swell receiption. Hun was to a Banquet Friday night and was sick Sat. ha! ha! Sorry to hear of Mrs. Atkins being ill. hope she will so recover. Remember me to Mrs. Shively - Ellas and all my friends. My love to all the family. Lovingly Your sis Cad Tuesday (same letter) My we certainly will be rich if we get all that money ha! ha! no danger of us getting any the case is too "obscure" there are always lawyers ready to stir up such cases. I'm like Aunt Julia. I'll not loos any sleep over it. ha! ha! well we will do all we can to find out about it. The M.P. on my letter stands for Member of Parlament. (sic) ha! ha! My! I am so glad you & Mr. H. are coming next month. Wednesday (same letter) Just had a letter from Aunt Julia saying that she made a mistake in your letter by saying the Earl was from Wales as he is not from Wales at all its Holland ha! ha! and the fortune has now riz to $7000000 ha! ha! my! don't you feel rich? They have found the names and ages of Grandma & Grand Pa Wolfe in an old book up there but what they still want is the names of Grandma's Great Grand parents which I am sure they will never find. Aunt Julia says its all true about the fortune being there but to get it is something else. She says she remembers Grandma Lemon saying how wealthy her ancestors were and how when they lived in Maryland her father used to go after the interest of his money and come home with his saddle bags filled with gold and silver. The Lawyer is a doctor. ha! ha! Woolfe from Indiana and there are two of them, oh, it certainly is mixed. Aunt J. says she is sorry she made so many mistakes in regard to this in your letter. My! souls, I wrote and asked Aunt J. to send us the address of the Wolfe who is stirring this thing and she says she had forgotten the address, but he lives in Indiana some where. ha! ha! This is all very exciting ha! ha! Will send your Aunt Julias letter later as this is such a budget am afraid it won't go for one fare. So we are not welsh we are German see? Perhaps if we could get the address of Mr. Wolfe we could find out what is needed. Write me soon. Your loving Sis Cad We are all well this morning. C. Newport March 13th 1900 My Dearest Rosa, Have just received your kind letter and will answer at once. I wrote to Carrie yesterday and told her if she was writing to you to please correct my mistakes. She said I had in your letter, that Grandpa Graffe was from Wales, well it is a sad mistake. He was from Holland. Germany and probably I have made a mistake in Uncle Jess Woolfs name, I believe I called him Benjamin in your letter. Well however Grandmas Lemon's oldest brother's name was Jess, he was a doctor, and her brther Jacob was a Dr' also" But this is Uncle Jesses son who is looking up this fortune which belongs to the Graffe heirs and we are all his desendants. I was first informed that he was a Lawyer, but Mrs. Car was here last evening and says he is a Doctor, same as his father was. And now since he has found one of the friends here to write to, he has already written three or four letters to him, he says he knows the money is in Holland and he is bound to see after it, and also to see that the Lawyers do not cheat them out of it, either of course now, all that I know is just what I hear from these letters. that Doctor Woolf has been writing to Charley Keely, who lives on More Street in Harrisburg. And I suppose if you were to go to him he would show you the letters. and then you would still know more correctly (some pages seem to be missing at this point) and would be only tood glad to forward it to them. No I could not tell her any more than I often heard Grandma say that her relations over in the old country were imensly (sic) wealthy, and when her Grand parents came across the watters, (sic) that there was a dreadful storm rose at sea and all were likely to be dround (sic). And that everything on the ship was soked (sic) with water. She said that was the cause of all their old german books being so ragged and stained. And she often talked of hearing her Grandma saying she brought a bag of dry nudels (sic) across to this country and when they got them here they were all green moldy. (My if I just could remember the one quarter of teh many things she would tell me when I was young. You know the poor old people them days would sit and talk for hours and turn themselves clean rong (sic) side out in order to make themselves interesting to you. I remember two of her saying that they landed in Maryland, but I do not know what part of it they settled in. And from there they moved to Little York, and from there to Millerstown. I also heard her say, when her father would go after the interest of his money, he would come riding home with his saddlebags full of Gold and silver. And she often told me of the beautiful clothing she and her sisters wore when they were young. She said it was nothing to them, to wear the finest of silk crape (sic) dresses and crape shals (sic) and kid slippers, and always the best of material for everything. And had abundance of everything that was made to use even to owing (sic) slaves, for they were by no means common people. They were very aristocratic and well cultured. No Dearest, I am not able to tell you what part of Maryland the old graveyard is. Neither can I tell you in what part of Maryland Grandfather settled. More than I know he landed in Maryland but could not say how manny (sic) years he lived there. But you can rest assured that they were of nobility for a truth. Yes it is too true about poor Myrtle. I am expecting her two little girls on Satturday. (sic) She wrote me that she would like to send Julia up about the middle of this month, as the girls all object to living with her on account of the children. And I wrote to her to send both Julia and Berta, on Satturday and I will try and keep them for her sake untill (sic) she gets well, if it is in the good fathers will. She is getting her same old nurse, but has to have a kitchen girl beside. Now must close as it is allmost (sic) eleven oclock. Will have to ask you to excuse my led (sic) pencil, also the dreadful writing. love to all, Your loving Aunt J The following letter is handwritten on United States Senate, Washington D.C., letterhead. Written at the top of it is: "Copied from Dr. Wolf's letter to my Brother-in-law, by Rosa V. B. Hamilton, Great Great Grand daughter of Elizabeth Grove Wolf. Mrs. John M. Hamilton, Shippensburg, Cumb. Pa." Shelbyville, Ind. March 23rd 1900. Edwin A. Niess, Dear Sir, Yours of the 21st at hand and contents noted. In answer I will say that in 1866 there was a rumor that there was a very large estate over in Holland belonging to the Grove heirs, then valued at $20,000,000. My father Dr. Jacob Grove Wolf had considerable correspondence about the matter with many of the Grove heirs - and it was finally decided to send a man by the name of Ewing to look after the matter. This Ewing then lived in Ohio and was an attorney. After collecting quite a sum of money from the heirs - and a considerable time had elapsed - he reported that there was nothing for us and there the matter dropped. It was generaly supposed that this man never investigated the matter, but simply got all he could out of the heirs and dropped the matter. In a letter from Jacob F. Grove, Baltimore, Feb 1st 1866 to my Father, he stated that he had been traveling in Pennsylvania a short time previous and attended a meeting of the Grove family, and learned that Hans Graff fled from Switzerland to England in 1695 and finally came to this country. He had 6 sons, Peter, David, John, Daniel, Mark, and Samuel. The above John had 2 sons - Jacob and Henry. The above Jacob had, Catherine, Elizabeth, Philip, John, Stephen, Paul, Henry, Jacob and Peter, all born in Sharpsburg, Washington Co., Md. Stephen Grove had William, Elizabeth, Catherine and Jacob F., the writer of the letter mentioned herein. I have also in my possession a letter from Daniel L. Grove of Baltimore written in 1866, who says the original name was Graff not Grove - and that a Mr. Wolf married a Miss Grove near Sharpsburg, but he did not state the given or first name of Wolf - and was not certain but he thought the maiden name of the wife was Catherine Grove. Now here come the trouble with me - Through parties in Pennsylvania my Father was lead to think that his Grandfather Peter Wolf married a Grove whose maiden name was Elizabeth Grove. The main point with me now is to find out who was Elizabeth Grove's father - and so on back as far as possible - also what Wolf married a Grove near Sharpsburg, a letter from George Keely about the same time - (then 78 years old) says that he well remembers that Peter Wolf and his wife made yearly visits to Maryland to look after an estate left the wife by her Father. this George Keely married a sister (Julia Ann Wolf) of my Grandfather, Jacob Wolf and resided at Millerstown Penna. my Grandfather was born near Little Rock, Pennsylvania and had four sosns, Jesse, John, Henry and my Father Jacob G. Wolf who is now past 77 and the only one of the sons living at this time. In daughters he had Julia A, Mary Ann and two other children who died in infancy. George Keely has now living two Grandsons, Charles C., Harrisburg, Penna and Ulysses G. in New York City. I expect to hear from Charles in a few days in regard to an old Testament that his Grandfather Geo. Keely claims to have had and as belonging to John Grove who came to Lancaster Co. Penna - in 1744 giving a description of the stormy voyage ect while crossing the ocean. My Father thinks his Grandmother was a direct descendant from this John or Hans Grove. (It is said that John and Hans are one and the same name) a few days ago I received a letter from Robert W. Grove, Sharpsburg and he promised to go to Hagerstown Md (the county seat of Washington Co) and look into the marriage records there. He also stated that Hans Groff was buried in German Cemetary at Sharpsburg. Here I will say that the Jacob F. Grove referred to is dead and has living now four daughters - Salome F. Nowel, Mt. Clair New Jersey, Alicy McCoy, Gap, Penna, Anna R. Fulton and Katherine Register, Baltimore Md. The last named has written me a letter in which she says Mary Grove, sister of Daniel L. married a Mr. Locker and lives in Harrisburg, Penna. She also writes that Mrs. Alice Gibson of Shepardstown, W. Va. is connected in some way with the Daniel Grove family. I have been trying to find the whereabouts of the old Hans Graff Bible, but as yet I have no trace. But I think from what Jacob F. Grove wrote in 1866, that this Bible must be in possession of some of the heirs in Pennsylvania. He stated that his information was obtained from said Bible still in possession of the family and that it could have been secured at that time. the question now is where it was at that time and who has it now. I will state here that through a newspaper I learned that this Hans Graff Estate was being investigated by a man by the name of James A. Groft, who claims to be a great Grandson. I wrote to him and he informed me that as yet he knew but little, but desired all the information that he could get, and that he expected to shortly publish a circular concerning the same and asked me in the meantime to get all information I could and inform him. I have heard nothing more from him. So I will close by kindly asking you for anything that you may learn about my family History. I would especially like to trace the orgin of my Great Grandmother Peter Wolf's wife - whose maiden name was Grove or Graff. Wm. R. WolfM Dentist - Shelbyville, Ind. Box 386 P.S. The Hans Graff estate is now said to be valued at $150,000,000. Dr. Calvin Shull of Mt. Pelier Ind is a relative. His Grandmother was a sister of my Grandfather Wolf. Newport - June 17th 1900, Dear Niece, Will try and scribble you just a few lines. Am not at all well. Could not go to Sunday School or Church today. So thought it no harm to talke just a few words to you through aid of pen and ink. Am sick so much which has rendered me very careless or rather more forgetful. Therefore am unable to say whether I owe you a letter or not. think I wrote to Carrie last, but can not say as for you. Suppose Carrie is with you at this time, as she wrote me that she expected to visit you shortly after she had written to me. Poor soul. She has my deepest sympathy in regards her helth (sic). Think thos hemorrhoids are just something dreadful, and so many people are affliced with them, but do hope by this time she is much better if not entirely well. The Dr. says there is no cure for me now but open air. Which I have been indulging in quite freely when my health permits. Think too that it is benefiting me quite a good deal as far as strength is concerned, but then my sore feet which there seems to be no cure found is the one thing detrimental to my much walking. Suppose you have heard nothing further about the fortune unless Carrie has heard through Mr. Woolf. Mrs. Carr was in Harrisburg at Chas. Keelys and he told her to tell me that if we would get it at all, it would come in side of a year. He was down in Maryland and found out all about the old ancestors as far as he could. They told him that they never had a family record in the old Bibles, that they went by the Coat of Arms and that he could find old Grandfathers in Philadelphia Museum. So Charles Keely is going to visit that next. He said all the Groffs there is just as rich as Jews. They told him that when Grandfather Graff died he was worth twentyone million in this country, beside what he had to leave in the old, and we suppose that was the estate that they were settling up at that time. When our people here were notified about a fortune amoung (sic) the Graffs ares (sic) and that anyone connected with them were to report by sending so much money to a Lawyer in Maryland who had at that time under took the case. And Papa and Grandma with others thought it was only a money making scheme for the Lawyers and would run no risks to send them any aid in the matter. So the estate was settled up and the accounts filed and that has left us out in the cold as far as that is concerned. But Keeley says the money is there in the old country yet, and has not been taken up by the state and that Dr. Woolf says he is spending lots of money to get it, and that he has lots of money to spend. So if I am so fortunate as to get mine, the first thing I do is to fix up dear old Fathers and Mothers semetory (sic) lot as it came through Mama and I will ahve a large monument erected and all the small stones removed. And your Parents included as well who are lying REST OF THE LETTER IS MISSING This is another letter hand copied with the notation: "copied from a letter to my sister, Mrs. E.A. Niess, Rosa V.B. Hamilton" Shelbyville, Ind. Jan'y 30th 1901 Mrs. Carrie Niess: My Dear Friend. Your letter of Sep't. 26, 1900 came to hand in due time - but as I had nothing of importance to write at the time, I passed it by, and now although I do not know of anything new, I concluded to write you just to show you that I had not forgotten you. I have tried very hard to get information from several of the Grove or Graff families in regard as to who Elizabeth Grove was before she married Peter Wolf. That is whose daughter she was. But most of them seem to take no interest in the matter - and I as yet have no positive proof whose daughter she was. My Great Grandfather, Peter Wolf was born May 14th 1757, and his wife Elizabeth on the 27th 1759. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Groff or Grove, and I am pretty well convinced, although no positive proff - that she was one of the 9 children of Jacob Groff, son of John Groff, one of the 6 sons of the original Hans Groaff who came to this country in 1695 or 1696. Peter Wolf had 4 sons - Jacob Wolf (My Grandfather), Peter, Henry and Daniel. Also 4 daughters, Catherine, Julia Ann, wife of George Keely, Millerstown, Pa., Sarah, wife of Henry Shull, Mt. Pelier, Ind., and Mary who was married twice - first to Philip Troup, after his death to a man by the name of Lemon. George Keely has a grandson, Charles C. Keely, at No. 2136 Moore St., Harrisburg, Pa., who can give you lots of information. You say that your mother's Grandmother's maiden name was Wolf. Who was her father. Was it one of my Grandfather's brothers, Peter, Henry or Daniel? Of course you understand that this said estate comes from the Grove or Graff side of the family and not from any of the Wolfs. Further back than my Great Grandfather, Peter Wolf, who married Elizabeth Grove. In the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel, yesterday, I saw an item from Greensburg Ind. stating that the heirs of the estate of Hans Groff had been notified that a meeting of said heirs would shortly be held at Cincinnatti. I have no notice of the meeting. The Hon. Jas. A. Graff of Cincinnati has been interesting himself in this estate, perhaps more than anyone elsl. But I have not heard anything f rom him for about a year. He promised to keep me posted, but as I said before, I have heard nothing and as to getting information, Charles C. Keely has done more than all the rest combined, and deserves much credit for what is known on the Wolf side. I have a cousin, Mrs. Agnes Mateer - maiden name Agnes Wolf, and daughter of Jesse Wolf. My Father's oldest Brother who was the first of 1899 living at McVeytown, Penna. The Rev. Eugene H. Mateer is her husband. Perhaps you may come across her sometime. Wm. R. Wolf, Shelbyville Ind. Newport March 13, 1901 My Dear Niece. Your kind letter received will answer at once but must be brief as Maggie Dukes is with us and have no time to write much. Thanks for the invitation to the reception, but will have to decline the invitation, but we are certainly sorry to do it as we would just love to be present with you, know it will be grand. Now I have had a little more news about our fortune, and suppose Chas Keely has written to Carrie. He was up at Mrs. Kate Carrs, last evening, and told her to tell me that I should not be discouraged that they have a brighter look-out-now, Dr. Woolf wants every one of us to write and tell him all we know in the way of being related, so Carrie & you both must write, Ellie Adams, Cloyd Bender, Mrs. Carr, Phill Troup and all who clame a relationship to the Graffs, Now Dr. Woolf says they are after Grandma marriage certificate which they think is in the old Church record if they can find it and says they are on pretty good track of ot now which will explain the whole affair. Mr. Chas Keely says he expects to meet you and Carrie in Hbg, next week. Seems he either was down again to see that Old Miss Julia Graff again or heard from her some how but this time she has given him quite a bit of satisfaction. Think I will write out to Dr. Woolf this evening if I can get the time, but if there is any thing in it, it will have to take time. And I will be so glad if you and Carrie sees Chas Keely your selves and he can tell you so much better than I can. As he first tells Mrs. Carr and then she comes up and tells me. So you see in that way we both might get things a little mixed , so to sure and to meet him. Must close now. Lovingly your Aunt Julia Waterville, Me. April 22, 1902 My Dearest Sister - We have just been having a terrible thunder shower but it seems to be clearing off now. Had a long letter from Dr. Wolf, he is getting quite affectionate. ha! ha! he now calls me his dear and says he won't stop writing to me now until I tell him to ha! ha! He wants me to find out the name of the Lawyer who is engaged in Holland in hunting up the fortune. I wrote and asked Miss Julia who he was and if she knew his address? I think I am the fellow is hunting it up. They all seem to be afraid of Miss Julia and expect me to ask all the questions, she will get weary of me soon. Why don't Dr. Wolf write to her himself? I've told him half a dozen times that she would like to hear from him. He says he can trace us clear down now to Hans and the next thing is to find out where the Elizabeth & Peter were married. I also asked Miss Julia this. In my old German book is the birth of Philip Troup Grandma Lemon's husband "Philip Troup born 1789 Oct. 28. You better copy it for Hun says we must have the names and ages & death of all the husbands too. When I come down I'll bring the book along. We are not to housekeeping you won't need to sit in the house on account of my beautiful wardrobe this summer as I only have one new dress I that I made the skirt myself, then I have my shirt waists but I have been wearing thm right along. They fit O.K. you know I never could make shirt waists but am very much pleased with these. Thanks for the papers I certainly do enjoy them. My! I am sorry for poor Sallie it's a shame for she worked so hard. Have you done any of the darned work doilies? I made a green one and have a yellow one to do. I think they are so pretty, it goes so fast. I made a good sized one in two days. Wish I had some of your fresh bread and rolls and your good ginger bread. I sent you Uncle Terry let me know if you get it alright. I'll let you know as soon as I hear from Miss Julia what she says, for I have asked some very pointed questions don't know if she will answer or not. Write me a big fat letter soon. Will let you know as soon as we move. Our best love to all. Do you think it will be alright to leave our stuff with Grant H.? don't forget to tell me ask Mr. H. what he thinks of it. Always your same Devoted sister Cad. : (No Date! but in envelope dated 8 Dec 1905) Dearest Sister - This is sweep day but I will tell you what you want to know - Miss Julia's sister is Mrs. Alice Gibson and her son's name is Hop. When I was visiting you I invited her in your and my name to come by and stop off a day or so, you said I should at the time. No, this is not cousin Alice Gibson who is visiting for she is near Mammas age and never went to school with Mrs. A. But she must be related along Hance Graff line. You can tell h er I have a copy of the Hance Graff Coat of Arms as used by the members of the Grove family in Phila. Tell her this and she will know you are related. This is your line Hans, son John, grandson Jacob, great grand daughter Elizabeth Wolf. Grandma Lemon, Grandma Ziegler, Mamma, You. Yess all the Groves are very wealthy. It was Miss Julia who told the woman about you for she claims us sure and fast. Kate Stevens add. is Mrs. Jos. Irving, 2559 Franklin St. I tell you about the Coat of Arms later. I've got it from that Lawyer in Phia. (sic) We are getting quite gay ha! ha! I nearly die laughing at his letters as does Hun. He must be about 60 years old. Was down town shopping all day yesterday have all my presents ready to send. Hope you will make good use of what I have for you, Nellie helped select it. Now honey, I must git. Lovingly Cad Come down for Christmas can't you? Answer Dec. 5, 1905 Dearest Sister: - Just finished three letters but will scratch you a few lines before I quit. It keeps me busy writing letters. I have written to a Lawyer in Phila. and had an awfully cute letter from him, I was told by a Mrs. Jacob Grove in Md. that this Lawyer had a family tree of the Groves she sent me his address and I wrote him. He said what he had gathered could scarcely be called a tree but might be dignified by the name "shrub" ha! ha! He is a descentant of Marcus Graff and has no record of the Wolfs. I do not know who fought in the Rev. War, but Hun is going to find out from the War. Dept. then I'll let you know. I just got the record of my Grandma Carvell - Mary Carvell was Pa's stepmother, but Rebecca Mark was his mother. Did you keep any of those old letters Pa got from those Marks out west, or might the address be on the back of that picture of them in a group. I wish you would look for now that I'm in the business I'm going to do it right. ha! ha! I'm going to write to that Harrison Carvell in N.Y. Hun is going to get his address in the N.Y. Directory in the P.O. Dep't. I'll bet you wouldn't do it. ha! ha! We had Hun's cousin Albert Niess for dinner Thanksgiving day. We were talking about looking up our ancestors and Hun said I had mine traced back to Alsace Germany. Buzz looked so funny and said "the question now is who was Adam's great grandfather" We certainly did laugh, it sounded so funny. I am trying to get ready for Christmas but dear me the stores are so full one does not know what to select. Indeed I have to laugh. Nellie had a manicure set on her list and I said "what would be the use of our speding several dollars for a manicure set when you keep your nails all chewed down". So for the past week she has come every day to show me how long her nails are ha! ha! I guess she will get it. Buzz wants a students desk. My! I'd like to get them everything they want. I have not seen Mrs. MCCrary for over a week. Guess she is busy getting settled. My grocer just sent me tickets to the "Food Show". It is quite a big affair. Did I tell you the Abotts are back from California? Were gone six months at Govt. expense. I have not seen them yet but hope to soon, for I am very fond of her. Albert Niess knows Harvey Runkle very well. They live just a square and half from them and were school mates. Cant you and Mr. H. come down for Xmas? When you come I'll let you read my collection of letters. I'm sure you will be interested.d I want to go down town tomorrow to do some shopping. We (the kids and I) were down all day last Friday - took lunch with Hun. Must "cut out my komona" and make it as soon as I can for my summer ones are rather cool these mornings. Write me a fat letter soon. How does John like his job? Our love to all. Lovingly Sister Cad Newport March 4th 1907 My Dear Rosa, I do not owe you a letter but can not wait longer and expect you have been kept busy getting ready for the wedding. As those affairs take work. Would have written what I want to talk about, in Carries letter but had closed her letter and sent it off before I thought about it. It is concerning our fortune which we have to be cheated out of just because we can not prove what our Grandmothers Great grandfathers first name was. Dr. Woolf wrote in to Charley Keely saying taht he as well as the rest of us would be cut out entirely if there was no writings to prove our selves belonging to the Graff heirs. And he sais (sic) he thinks it so strange that there is no one here who knows or even tryes (sic) to help him find out anything except his cousin Chas Keely and Mr. Niece. He sais (sic) that Niece is certainly a smart man. Now Aby says for his part he would not know where to commence, as it has always been a hidden mistry (sic) to him. The Maryland heirs ary (sic) very much interested about it just now. So are the Grafs in Cleaveland (sic) Ohio, and they are all so wealthy already, and to think they will get one hundred million more divided among them which we should have part. They say the Maryland Grafs have kept a stich (sic) record of all their ancestors, and could probably tell us of our great-great-grandfather, but they can't get any satisfaction out of them. It is now published in the Philadelphia Inquire (sic). I will send you a slip which you can read for your self, and it reads just as our old Grandma had said, that her great-grandpa had fled from Holland because he would not take up arms, and fight against the Christains,(sic) and that he had landed in Maryland and that they were ship recked (sic) and all their goods were saturated with water and their old Books show it plain but as they are leaving now to get the money (which Dr. Woolf says is over a hundred million) and that we must show our claim in writing or else we are not in it and he thinks if we could only find the old German bible that that would proved us all right. But Aby had advertised in the papers, and have serched (sic) through every county around but not a remnant can be found, and every body who knows anything about it is dead so who could tell us a thing. And Aby sais too that there is no law in the world that can help us to claim our right unless we have writings to prove us heirs. Oh I just think it can't be that we can not scratch up proof some where. If my Great Grandma had never moved away from Maryland to Millerstown I suppose then we would be all right. Ask Carrie if she thinks that Mr. Niece might be able to find out any thing concerning the Heirs, when he travels throu (sic) Maryland. he is so quick that he might draw their minds out. Where Chas Keely could not. He maid (sic) a special trip down to find out all he could, but one old Aunt seemed to be the only one who would tell him much of anything. And she would not give him much satisfaction, more than she told him that when old Grandpa Graff died he was worth 21 million in this country, and that we did not lay in our claim and that was the reason why we got nothing. I think it is a dirty shame that we must be kept out of what lawfuly belongs to us. And yet if it would be Gods will that we should have it, I am quite sure that we would get it. I am still a prisoner to the house, took a back by going out too soon and now it is six weeks that I have been in doors. But am still looking for you and Carrie. Maggie Duke will pay us a visit on the twelth of this month. And am looking anytime for Mrs. Fleisher from Greensburg, had a letter from her that she would be with us soon but mentiioned no date. Must close, but write soon and tell me what you and Carrie thinks (sic) about our lost fortune (Too bad) Love to all from both Ever your loving Aunt Julia

The Bull family is traced back to Somerset, England. James (1685) emigrated to Ireland. After several generations four brothers emigrated to America: James (1772), John (1777), Christopher (1780) & Robert (1782). James(1772) arrived in Cape Breton, Canada and the other three went to the United States. A fifth brother William (1775) remained in Thomastown, County Kilkenney to operate the Grennan Mill.

Here are open questions about our family. 1) The Muskegon area Harkness decendents are from John Harkness, son of William Harkness listed below: '''William Harkness''' [[Harkness-96|William Harkness]], born in Cookstown, Ireland about 1802, who died 1891 in Burlinton, WI. William had at least three other siblings who immigrated from Ireland also: '''John Harkness''' [[Harkness-128|John Harkness]], born about 1820, died in Wellsboro, PA 1900. '''Eleanor Harkness Boyd''' [[Harkness-110|Eleanor Harkness]], born 25 Sep 1800, died 1889 in Muskegon MI. Refer to her obituary attached. '''Emily Harkness Taylor''' [[Harkness-109|Emily Harkness]], born about 1808, died 1894 in New Brunswick, Canada. ''The mystery that has eluded us so far is who are the parents of these four Harkness children?'' 2) William Harkness [[Harkness-96|William Harkness]] married Ann Doak [[Doak-40|Ann Doak]] in 1831 at the Grennoch Scottish Presbyterian Church in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. They had three children born and bapitised there: John (1832)[[Harkness-94|John Harkness]] , Ann (1834)[[Harkness-111|Ann Harkness]] , and Emily (1836)[[Harkness-112|Emily Harkness]] . All trace of Ann Doak Harkness disappears there. There is a cemetery next to the church where William bought a grave site and he later re-married Mary Margaret McDonald [[McDonald-2045|Mary Margaret McDonald]] in the same church in 1844. ''It is assummed that Ann Doak [[Doak-40|Ann Doak]] died about August 1840 [uncertain] in Saint Andrews, Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canadamap and is buried in the Cemetery next to the Grennoch Scottish Presbyterian Church, but no record of her death or burial has been found to date?'' 3) Attached is a picture of a Harkness family gathering at the home of James Willard Harkness [[Harkness-93|James Harkness]] and Minnie Viola Nicholson Harkness [[Nicholson-909|Minnie Nicholson]] on Jackson Street in Muskegon MI in the 1940's. ''Does anyone know the name of the second person in from the left side on the bottom row is?'' [[Category:Family Mysteries]]

This page is to detail research on Cyrus' children and marriages. == Marriages == We know that Cyrus was married to [[Enloe-62|Elizabeth Johnston Enloe]] around 1823-1824 in South Carolina; and that he married [[Brown-26416|Parthena Brown Jackson]] in 1857 in Illinois. However, there are two children listed in the 1860 census -- [[Burns-2917|J. E.]] and [[Burns-2918|Mary]] who were born long after [[Burns-2272|Margaret]], but before the marriage to Parthena. Possibilities:
1) another marriage, the record for which has yet to be found; or
2) J. E. and Mary were Parthena's children from her first marriage, and should have been listed as Jackson instead of Burns. == Children == '''1830 census''':
Males - Under 5: 2 ''unknown''
Males - 20 thru 29: 2 ''Cyrus, maybe one of his brothers?''
Females - Under 5: 1 ''Mahala''
Females - 5 thru 9: 2 ''Frances, Carolyn''
Females - 20 thru 29: 2 ''wife Elizabeth and ?''
''There should be three females 5-9: Frances, Carolyn, and Mary Ann.''

Jean Prieur du Plessis (stamvader van die Du Plessis-familie in Suid-Afrika) huur ’n Colonie-huis in Stellenbosch vir een jaar. 1699 Simon van der Stel tree af as kommandeur (eintlik Goewerneur), vestig hom op sy plaas Constantia en word opgevolg deur sy seun, Willem Adriaan van der Stel. 1699 Vroegste skriftelike verwysing na Matthys Andries de Beer. (Monsterrol VC 39). 1700 Jan Mahieu word sieketrooster-voorleser en sekretaris van die Landdros en Heemrade van Stellenbosch. 1703 Op 13 November 1703 ken goewerneur Willem Adriaan van der Stel ’n stuk grond, genaamd, “Oranje,” in die Paarl toe aan Matthys Andries de Beer. 1705 Aan die “vrije wagemaker”, Matthys Andries de Beer, word vergunning gegee om ’n vrag wamakershout in Jonkershoek te gaan kap. (29 September 1705. Annexure Q, p. 171) 1705 Matthys Andries word op 24.10.1705 in die huwelik bevestig te Stellenbosch, waarskynlik deur ds. Beck. ’n Maand later (23 Nov.) teken hy die kontrak om die Colonie-huis, wat as eerste pastorie gedien het en wat ook tevore aan Jean Prieur du Plessis verhuur was, vir 6 maande te huur, met ingang 1 Desember 1705. 1705 Die ‘vrije wagemaker,’ Matthijs Andries de Beer kry toestemming om drie vragte hout te kap in Jonkershoek. (9 Februarie 1706). 1706 Die Collegie van Landdros en Heemrade van Stellenbosch besluit op 4 Oktober om Matthys Andries aan te maan oor verskuldigde huurgeld. 1710 Op 1.6.1710 doop Matthys Andries en Hilletje hulle eerste kind, Helena, in die Paarl. Ds. Beck, wat die gemeentes Stellenbosch en Drakenstein (Paarl) bedien het, het waarskynlik die doop waargeneem. Op hierdie stadium woon hulle in die Paarl. 1710 17 Desember 1710 vind die groot brand op Stellenbosch plaas waarin die Drosdy, die kerk en minstens 12 huise afgebrand is. Die bepaalde Colonie-huis waarin Matthys Andries in 1705 – 1706 gebly het en die wynkelder van Jan Botma was van die geboue wat nie afgebrand het nie. 1711 Die bekende Peter Kolbe word sekretaris van die Landdros en Heemrade en bly dit tot 1913. Hy bly ook in dieselfde Colonie-huis waarin Jean Prieur du Plessis, ds. van Loon en Matthys Andries in 1705 – 1706 gebly het. 1711 Matthys Andries laat sy tweede kind, Samuel, doop op 1.11.1711. Die kerk was afgebrand. Hierdie doop het waarskynlik plaasgevind in die wynkelder van Jan Botma wat tydelik as kerk gedien het en wat net skuins oorkant die Colonie-huis gestaan het. Ds. Beck het waarskynlik die doop waargeneem. Hy en sy gesin woon nou weer in Stellenbosch. 1713 Pokke epidemie tref die Kaap. Twee oudste kinders van die stamvader sterf aan pokke. 1714 Doop van derde kind, Samuel op 20.5.1714, nog steeds in die wynkelder wat as kerk ingerig was. Ds. Beck. 1716 Doop van vierde kind, Maria Elizabeth op 4.10.1716. Dit was nog steeds in die wynkelder. Ds. Beck. 1719 Antonie Faure word aangestel as skoolmeester en bly dit tot 1736, toe hy opgevolg word deur sy seun Abraham. 1719 Doop van vyfde kind, Zacharias, op 5.3.1719. Nog steeds in die tydelike kerk (wynkelder). Ds. Beck. 1721 Doop van sesde kind, Matthys, op 8.6.1721, nog steeeds in die wynkelder wat as kerk diens gedoen het. Ds. Beck. 1724 Doop van sewende kind, Johanna Adriana, op 6.2.1724, hierdie keer waarskynlik in die nuwe kerk. Ds. Beck. 1726 Doop van Hilletje, 29.12.1726. Ds. Beck het in 1726 vertrek uit Stellenbosch na die Kaap. Dit is onseker wie hierdie kind gedoop het. Dit kon nog ds. Beck self gewees het. 1729 Doop van jongste kind, Johannes Jurgen, 26.6.1729. Onseker wie hom gedoop het. Matthys Andries is oorlede op 27 Julie 1729, 1 maand na die doop van sy jongste kind. Dit is onseker of die kinders van Matthys Andries enige formele skoolonderrig ontvang het. Indien wel, het al hierdie kinders waarskynlik onderrig ontvang van Antonie Faure (vanaf 1719 tot 1736) en daarna van sy seun, Abraham Faure (1736 en verder.)

On the Trail of Giles Atkinson 03/08/2014 4:15 PM I think I've finally located the cemetery where Great Grandfather Giles Manuel Atkinson was buried (almost a hundred years ago). The following details are found in the "Mississippi Graves Registry" at the following website: http://mscgr.homestead.com/MSCGRaz.html Atkinson, G. M. Born: Apr 17, 1837 Robinson County, SC Pvt; 30th MS Inf Gravesite: Bluff Springs Choctaw County Enlisted: Apr 4, 1862 Hebron, MS Died: Mar 8, 1917 Discharged: May 5, 1865 Reform, MS Although there is another G M Atkinson listed in the military records, he was in the 15th Infantry Regiment and applied for a veteran's pension in 1909. Our G M didn't apply until 1916. (I wonder why so late? Unless he didn't feel he should take it until he was completely retired? Or Mississippi was so tight-fisted he though it futile to apply while younger?) The dates of service, of course, are not what turned up in his military records. Maybe the Choctaw County veterans' representative (who apparently collected the data) was guessing or, more likely Giles himself had put them down on his pension application, knowing that service under another state (such as Tennessee if he actually was with Forrest at the time) probably wouldn't count for Mississippi retirement. I've seen a pension application from another Confederate veteran who listed his service with a Mississippi unit and "Forrest's Cavalry." They got his birth county (Robeson?) right but the state wrong. I suspect his widow guessed wrong. Certainly the date of death was correct, but the month and year given elsewhere are different (October 1835). The age at death (80) is the same as given elsewhere. Maybe the old man himself was confused when he informed his last wife Laura of this. It's interesting that he's listed as "Giles C" in the 1900 Census and as "Giles M" in the 1910 Census with the last name spelled "Atkison" in both. In 1900 he's located in Choctaw County Beat Two (while living with third wife Sarah) and in 1910 in Beat One (while living with fourth wife Laura). I'm not sure what "Beat" means other that's in a rural area with no formal city government. That would fit with the Reform community to which he apparently moved after marrying Laura. It's only a few miles from there to the cemetery where, I suspect, wife Sarah had been buried earlier. (There are several "Bluff Creek" cemeteries scattered over the State, including one just up the road in Webster County. In the 1860 Census we find "Jiles" Atkinson living in Township 19 in a part serviced by the Greensboro post office. (The only other post offices in that township were in Lodi, Kilmichael, and Pigeon Roost.) In that same Census her sister Sarah (later to become Giles' third wife) and her husband James B Lawrymore were living in Township 20 (post office Stateland, which in 1851 is listed as being in Choctaw County). One writer says she saw it on a Civil War era map as being about 10 miles west of Greensboro and north(?) of Lodi). In the 1870 Census Giles (and second wife Ann) is back in Township 19 but the post office is blank. His widowed sister-in-law Sarah is still in Township 20, now with three children. Her older brother James is living with her (and probably running the farm). The census taker probably didn't understand the arrangement and listed all under the name Gray. In the 1880 Census Giles "Adkinson" is still listed in Township 19 (The census taker lists it and Township 20 as being in Montgomery County. They must have been right on the county line since on earlier censuses they were listed as being served by the Greensboro Post Office some miles inside Webster County.) Sarah's brother is still there, and for the first time young Forrest is listed with his family. Unfortunately, the results of the 1890 Census did not survive so we don't know if Forrest had moved to Pontotoc by then. I still don't understand why Forrest would have been born in Emory. Why would a pregnant woman take her children in a wagon over dirt roads some 30 miles just to have her baby there even if she might have had a sister or best friend living there? There was an Embry in Webster County which would have been much closer although we know of no family member living there (and none listed in the cemetery). Amory was not laid out until 1887 (when they needed a railroad town to replace Cotton Gin Port). Since the Bluff Creek Cemetery is not forty miles west of here, I'll try to get over there within the next two weeks. I'll be sure to take a can of shaving cream along since that sometimes helps to make the letters on a worn stone stand out. Jim

Newspaper articles about the murder of [[Kelly-5289|Clarence Kelly]], my first cousin three times removed. ---- '''Foul Play Suspected After Finding Le Roy Man's Mutilated Body'''
'''Mystery Surrounds the Death of Clarence D. Kelley'''
'''Injury to Head'''
'''Herkimer Authorities Believe That the Murder Took Place at Another Spot'''
Le Roy, Dec. 19. -- Information received by Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Kelley of Le Roy leads them to believe that their son, Clarence D. Kelley of Le Roy, a traveling salesman for a Chicago hardware firm, who has not been heard from since November 23d, was murdered near Herkimer about two weeks ago. From the Utica police they learned that a dead man had been found at the foot of an embankment about a mile from Herkimer who had not been identified. A description of the dead man tallies with that of the missing traveling salesman. George and Edward Kelley of Le Roy, brothers of Clarence D. Kelley, left this morning for Herkimer to investigate and make arrangements for bringing the body to Le Roy, if it is that of their brother. The head of the dead man was crushed by means of a blunt instrument, according to the story received by the Kelley family. It was said that the Herkimer authorities suspected that the man was murdered at a different place from where the body was found and was taken to the embankment and rolled down it. After its discover the body was placed in a vault. There was no money in the clothing of the dead man and a diamond ring is missing if the remains are, as it is firmly believed, those of Mr. Kelley. Although Mr. Kelley had not been home since last July he had been in the habit of writing regularly. A letter was received from him about November 21st in which he offered to send money home. The letter told the family that it could communicate with him at Herkimer. The last letter from him was received by his brother Edward, on November 23d. Hearing nothing further from their son, Mr. and Mrs. Kelley wrote to the hardware company that he traveled for, and learned that the company had shipped some goods to Gloversville about December 1st. The police and sheriffs in that section of the state were notified. The family feared that he had become sick or that he had been injured in an accident.
Clarence D. Kelley was born at Mt. Morris on November 24, 1893, and lived there until September, 1910, when the family moved to Le Roy. Besides his parents and brothers, George and Edward, he leaves a brother Charles F. Kelley, of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, Dec. 19, 1919]''
Le Roy, Dec. 24. -- Robbery was evidently a motive in the murder of Clarence D. Kelley, the young Le Roy travelling man, whose body was found at Frankfort, Herkimer county, three weeks ago. The body, accompanied by George and Edward F. Kelley, brothers of the deceased, arrived in Le Roy this morning and was taken to the home of the young man's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Kelley of South street. Funeral services will be held from St. Peter's church at 10:30 o'clock on Friday, and the burial will be in St. Francis's Cemetery. District Attorney Ward of Herkimer county, who is conducting the investigation, is of the opinion that the case is a clear one of murder, probably with robbery as a motive, but the coroner has reserved his verdict. The body was found at the foot of an embankment between the state highway and the West Shore railroad track at Harvor, a hamlet near Frankfort, about 7 o'clock on the morning of November 30th. Apparently the young man had been dead only a few hours when discovered. Early opinions were that he had fallen from a train and sustained injuries which caused his death, but the fact that there was an ugly fracture of the skull, extending from the top of his head at the back around to the right ear, as if done by a blunt instrument, dispelled this theory. The fact that the wound was free from cinders and gravel also proved that the injury was not caused by a fall from a train. One of the young man's rubbers was found on the state road, which is separated from the railroad and the embankment by a high fence, which seemed to indicated that the man was cruelly murdered and then dragged to the fence and thrown over it, to roll down the embankment as if cast there from the train. Authorities believe that robbery was the motive because the valuable diamond ring and scarf pin which he always wore, as well as about $100 in money, were missing. Investigation revealed the fact that young Kelley had finished the canvassing in Herkimer county on Saturday, November 29th, the day previous to the discovery of the body, and had settled his board bill there and informed his landlady that he was going on to Gloversville, where he had another shipment of goods from the Chicago hardware concern, which he represented. It is possible that he expected to go to Utica for the day the next day, which was Sunday, because he left his suitcases at his boarding place. The certificate issued by the coroner certified that death was due to shock and hemorrhage. George and Edward F. Kelley, the brothers, who have been investigating the case in connection with the authorities of Herkimer county, will return to Frankfort to continue the investigation after the funeral. ''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, Dec. 24, 1919]'' Le Roy, Dec. 26. -- Injuries on the back of one hand of Clarence D. Kelley, the Le Roy travelling salesman, whose body was found near Frankfort, Herkimer county, three weeks ago, was one of the discoveries that strengthen the theory that Kelley was murdered and not killed by accident as was first believed. The mark on the back of the hand leads those investigating the case, which is one of the most baffling in that part of the state in years, to believe that he received the wound when shielding his head to ward off the blow which caused his death. Another slight clue has been furnished by a woman, living near the place where the body lay, who said she saw an automobile stop on the state highway hear where the body was found on the morning of November 30th, when it is believed death occurred. The woman also claimed that she saw a man looking over the fence opposite the place where the body was discovered a few hours later. The automobile is believed to have been towed away toward Utica after a short time. Blood stains and scratches were found on the fence near the highway, and these seemed to indicate that there was a struggle. The board bearing this new evidence has been removed for analysis and investigation. Authorities were satisfied that a hair found on the fence was not the hair of a man so was not valuable for evidence as first thought. The autopsy performed on the body disclosed the fact that the blow which split the scalp from the back of the head at the top to the right ear, causing the death of young Kelley, could have resulted only from a blow by an ax, sledge hammer, or similar heavy metal weapon, or by the body falling or being thrown from a rapidly moving vehicle. No evidence was revealed at the autopsy which in any way weakened the theory that the man was murdered, although nothing was found which could be used to prove conclusively that murder had been committed. George and Edward F. Kelley, brothers of the deceased, who are investigating the case with the Herkimer county authorities, still insist that their brother was foully murdered in all probability, for the valuables in his possession were gone when the body was discovered. They characterized as altogether improbable the theory advanced by some that their brother was struck by a train while walking from Utica to Herkimer. They claim that Clarence was never without money and that he never subjected himself to extra exertion, such as a long distance walk, on account of his weak heart. They also feel that, even if this could have been true, no motorist would be sufficiently heartless to carry the body of a victim, whom he had accidentally hit and killed, clear over to a fence and toss it down a railroad embankment. ''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, Dec. 26, 1919]'' '''To Urge Murder Investigation''' Investigation of the alleged murder of Clarence Kelly of Le Roy, near Frankfort on the night of November 29th and of the subsequent action of Herkimer county officials, will be urged upon Governor Smith, George Kelly of Buffalo, brother of the dead man, announced in Utica. Negligence is charged by Kelly. [The Daily News, Batavia, NY, March 22, 1920] ''' Another Ilion Murder Has Furnished New Clue to Slayer of Le Royan'''
Le Roy, Feb. 23. -- George Kelly, son of Mr.and Mrs. Edward S. Kelly of Summit street, accompanied by Detective Doyle and Captain Whaley of the Rochester police department, leaves tonight for Herkimer, where they will examine articles found in the room of Robert Warder of Ilion, who was arrested last night on charge of the murder of Henry Warner of the same place. The articles are believed to have belonged to Clarence Kelly, brother of George Kelly, who was found dead, probably murdered, near Frankfort, a few miles from Herkimer, on November 29, 1919. Clarence Kelly was a travelling salesman. Among the things in the room was a pocketbook with the name Clarence Kelly on it. It is said that Warder has confessed to the murder of Werner, who was found with his head blown off in a raving south of Ilion yesterday morning. The murder was said to have been the outcome of an argument in which Werner accused Warder of murdering Kelly. He was arrested on suspicion of the murder and held for [illegible] days at a previous investigation of the case by the Herkimer county authorities. Warder has signed a confession, the Ilion police say, which declares that Werner's wife incited him to commit the crime because she was in love with Warder and wished to get her husband out of the way. Warder claimed, the police say, the woman had urged him for two months to kill her husband and also that she offered him money if he would do so. The opportunity to carry out his purpose came when he and Warner were out hunting together Monday night. Warder is about 32 years old. He was divorced from his wife in July, 1919. Officials of Ilion learned from persons residing in the vicinity of the crime that there had been indications of frequent quarreling in the family. '''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, February 23, 1921]''' '''R. B. Warder Taken to Sing Sing''' Rutger B. Warder of Herkimer, belived to have been the murderer of Clarence Kelley of Le Roy, who was found dead near Herkimer about a year ago, has been convicted of the murder of Henry Werner of Herkimer and left Herkimer yesterday for Sing Sing. He will die in the electric chair on May 16th. It has been said that the quarrel between Werner and Warder, which resulted in the death of the former, was furthered by Werner's accusing is slayer of murdering Kelley. ''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, April 12, 1921]'' '''Slaying of Le Roy Man May Yet Be Cleared Up Clues Likely to Be Unraveled at Herkimer Trial''' Herkimer, April 30. -- Clues which may unravel the mystery which surrounds the killing of Clarence Kelly, Le Roy salesman, may be dug out before the defense is finished of Mrs. Jennie Warner, now [several lines illegible due to darkening]. This was indicated by the manner in which Charles L. Earl, attorney for the defense, carried on his cross-examination of Sheriff William H. Gross, who took the stand to assist in introducing in evidence the alleged story of the Warner murch given by Mrs. Werner soon after her arrest. References were repeatedly made to Kelly's mysterious death, upon which detectives have been working for nearly a year. ''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, April 30, 1921]'' '''Warder on the Stand Denied Kelley Murder His Testimony Recalled the Death of a Le Roy Man''' Herkimer, May 5. -- The mysterious murder of Clarence Kelley, a Le Roy traveling salesman, near Herkimer last summer, was brought into the testimony yesterday at the trial of Mrs. Werner for the alleged murder of her husband, Henry Werner. The witness was Rutger Warder, already convicted for complicity in the crime, by Attorney Earl. "Did you take a pocketbook from the body of Clarence Kelly after you killed him near Harbor?" asked the attorney suddenly. Warder denied he had either killed Kelley or robbed his body and explained his possession of articles sold by Kelly by saying he got them from Kelley's room in Herkimer. He told the district attorney, he said, all he knew about the Kelley case. The prosecution expected to close its case today. ''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, May 5, 1921]'' '''Defense Claims Warder Killed Werner to Hide Kelly Murder Evidence''' Herkimer, May 6. -- Rutger B. Warder, convicted slayer, killed Henry Werner, Ilion farmer, to hide evidence which might aid in the solution of the mysterious murder of Clarence Kelly, Le Roy salesman, according to statements made yesterday by Charles L. Earl in opening the defense of Mrs. Jennie Werner, charged with complicity in the murcher of her husband. Mrs. Werner herself will take the stand in her own defense, to testify that Warder repeatedly tried to become familiar with her, Mr. Earl told the jury as he outlined the case he has built up to save the murdered man's wife from the death chair. The defense opened just before the noon recess, after District Attorney W. Earl Ward rested the People's case after 8 ½ days of testimony. ''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, May 6, 1921]'' '''Le Roy Man Testified at a Murder Trial''' Herkimer, May 7.-- George Kelley of [illegible], brother of Clarence Kelley, the man who was killed near Harbor two years ago, was one of the witnesses at the trial of Mrs. Jennie Werner for the murder of her husband. He testified that he had, at the request of the district attorney, examined Werner's effects and found among them a pocketbook which he thought belonged to his brother. He was unable, however, to make the identification positive. ''[The Daily News, Batavia, NY, May 7, 1921]'' '''Mrs. Werner Is Declared Not Guilty '''Jury Returned Verdict in Trial of Woman for Murder''' '''Le Roy Man's Case''' '''Solution of the Slaying of Clarence Kelly as Much a Mystery as Ever''' Utica, May 12. -- Mrs. Jennie Werner was acquitted of murder, first degree, at Herkimer at 7 o'clock this morning, when the jury which had been deliberating since brought in a verdict of not guilty. She had been on trial since April 8th for complicity in the killing of her husband, Henry Werner, Ilion farmer. Rutger B. Warder, confessed slayer of Werner, who was brought back from the deathhouse at Sing Sing prision to testify against the widow, was returned to the prison this morning. Mrs. Werner's mother, Minnie Woodbridge, is also indicted for plotting the crime, but it is expected that she will not be brought to trial. District Attorney Ward declared in his address to the jury that there was no doubt in his mind but that Warder had committed the murcher, but that the people were convinced that Jennie Werner aided and abetted in the crime. He denied that immunity had been offered Warder in return for his testimony and said his life would be taken at Sing Sing prison when the time came. One of the features of the long trial was the attempt to bring out the fact that Warder killed Werner to cover up evidence which might aid in the solution of the mysterious murder of Clarence Kelly, Le Roy salesman. The slaying of the Le Roy man, however, appears as far from solution as it did two years ago. Among Warner's effects is a pocketbook which, it is claimed, belonged to Kelly.

Reply letter from The Bennington Museum to Bea Phelps with Derby information but not much about Sylvester.

[[Pelton-56|John Pelton]], born in England, place and time unknown, though probably about 1616, and a descendant of Essex Peltons or Poltons (See Introduction), came to Boston about 1630 to 1633, as his name and a description of his property appears in the "Book of Possessions," the oldest land record of Boston, made by order of The General Court in 1634. The record therein on page 91 runs thus: "Mr. Owen Roe his possession in the limits of Boston. One house and garden bounded with the streete north; the lane west; the Cove south; and John Pelton east. John Pelton's possession in Boston. One house and household lot bounded with Owen Roe west; the streete north; the Cove south; and the marsh on the east." These lands were Lot 104 to 108, on the south side of Essex St., from Washington St., easterly. See Map F. or No. 6, page 74 where Owen Rowe, (as here spelled,) has lot 107 and John Pelton 108. Soon after, in 1635, probably, he removed to Dorchester, then a few miles out of Boston peninsula, now a part of that city, and which had been settled in the same year but a few months earlier. In 1635 or 1636, he became by grant or purchase a joint owner of the Dorchester Patent, and received his share, as also did his heirs in its many divisions. He was also one of the forty-seven owners of the "Great Lots." (See Clapp's History of Dorchester.) That he was admitted among the very select company at Dorchester, is sufficient proof that his character and religious opinions were considered correct. In Dorchester he lived by the side of the Glovers and other of the best families, as this extract from the "Glover Memorial" shows. "On Dec. 25, 1700, Nathaniel Glover, Sen. and his wife Hannah, conveyed to their son, Nathaniel Glover, Jr., in Dorchester, several parcels of land, among them his house-lot of fifteen acres, being butted and bounded on the Easterly end upon the Sea or Saltwater, on the Northerly side by land of widow Pelton and Joseph Hall, on the Westerly end upon the Highway leading to Tileston's Mills, standing upon Neponsett River, and on the Southerly side by land of Mrs. Brick (Breek)." The time and place of his marriage and the maiden name of his wife and unknown; we learning only from his will that her Christian name was Susanna. They were probably married about 1643, a date that strengthens the opinion (See Introduction, p. 19) that he came to Boston when young, and received his allotment of land there as an "able youth." His occupation and history are unknown, excepting that from his will we learn that he was engaged in the fisheries, then, as now, a valuable business. He died in Dorchester, January 23, 1681. His will dated January 3, 1681, twenty days before his death, proved March 16, following, mentions of his wife Susanna, his sons John, Samuel, and Robert the youngest, and his daughter Mary. His widow probably lived until May 7, 1706, and was doubtless the "Old Mother Pelton" buried May 10, 1706, as given in Clapp's History of Dorchester, page 282, taken from the records of the oldest church there, and supposed as such a record was very unusual, to have been that of a very well-known person. Children, born in Dorchester: I John, b., probably early in 1645; baptized March 2, 1645; m. about 1673, wife's name unknown; d. before 1699. II Samuel, b. about 1647; m. "5th mo." May 16, 1673, Mary Smith; d. probably, 1713-14. III Robert, born, probably, about 1649-51, at Dorchester, Mass. He was a mariner, and on July 7, 1680, he "affirmed the loss at sea of the sloop 'Anne and Elizabeth' of New York, commanded by Alexander Watts." (Glover Memorial) He was lost at sea, July, 1683; probably unmarried as his brother Samuel took out letters of administration, and no mention is made of wife or children. IV Mary, born about 1653 or '54, baptized Feb. 18, 1654 (Ch. Rec.) Was living at the death of her father; may have been older than Robert as the exact order of births is unknown. Nothing is known as to her marriage or her death.

==1912 to 1974== Nov. 29, 1908, there is an ad in the State Newspaper that reads "Two very desirable houses on large lots in the Town of Shandon". Person to call is R W Shand, Pres. at 1328 Main Street. To find out more about Shandon you can look at this history of the neighborhood: [http://www.shandonneighborhood.com/history/ History of Shandon] Sewall Kemper Oliver and his wife Lucy Hardy Oliver were the first owners when it was built in 1912. They lived there with their three children. Mr Oliver first worked as manager at the "Duck Mill" (Columbia Mills Building) which is now the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Carolina_State_Museum South Carolina State Museum].In 1928, he founded the Oliver Motor Company. At the time they bought the house, the name of the street was "First Avenue". According to an article in The State paper on June 3 1927, the name "Wilmot Avenue" was first used to refer to what was formally known as "First Avenue in South Shandon and Shandon Annex". During the time that the Oliver's lived there they advertised in the State Newspaper several times with chickens (Rhode Island Reds) for sale and at one time 50 pigeons. They also advertised to hire a cook who appears on the 1920 census as Olivia Jeter who was 20 years old at the time. The property appears to have changed hands sometime around September 1932 when an ad ran in The State Newspaper to lease the house. The contact for the lease was Mrs. John Dubose at 1131 Washington Street. From about 1935-1938 Mr and Mrs John A Brockman lived there. Mr Brockman was a Colonel from Georgia. Entered the Army as an enlisted man in 1893. Graduate of Army School of the Line. He retired in 1936. In 1939 he and his wife Nellie R are living at 817 Abelia Road after moving from the house n Wilmot Avenue. During 1930 census living on Hollywood Drive. The house was again listed in an ad to rent in The State paper on Nov 21, 1938 by a Mrs John Dubose at 1341 Main Street. On Oct 22, 1939, the State Newspaper reported that the house had been purchased by William Lambert DePass (1884-1973). He lived there with his wife Eugenia McDonald DePass until Mr Depass passed away in 1973. Mrs DePass sold the house in 1974. ==My Childhood Home 1974-2000== When my family moved into the house in 1974, I was about 5 years old and my brother was around 7. My most vivid memory of the day we moved in was of a power box on a line in the backyard exploding and the fire department coming.

Here are open questions about Smiley's. Did [[Smiley-266|William Smiley]] suddenly appear on this earth around 1810? It certainly seems that way after years of in depth research.

Hematomachrosis is an uncommon genetic disorder. In medicine, iron overload indicates accumulation of iron in the body from any cause. The most important causes are hereditary haemochromatosis (HHC), a genetic disorder, and transfusional iron overload, which can result from repeated blood transfusion. Signs and symptoms: Organs commonly affected by haemochromatosis are the liver, heart, and endocrine glands. Haemochromatosis may present with the following clinical syndromes: Cirrhosis of the liver, Diabetes due to pancreatic islet cell failure, Cardiomyopathy, Arthritis (iron deposition in joints), Testicular failure, Tanning (bronzing) of the skin, Joint pain and bone pain. Causes: The causes can be distinguished between primary cases (hereditary or genetically determined) and less frequent secondary cases (acquired during life). People of Celtic (Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Breton etc.), British, and Scandinavian origin[5] have a particularly high incidence of whom about 10% are carriers of the gene and 1% sufferers from the condition. In my family's case, the determining factor for genetic testing was French-Canadian descent. Primary haemochromatosis: Although it was known for most of the 20th century that most cases of haemochromatosis were inherited, they were incorrectly assumed to depend on a single gene.[6] The overwhelming majority actually depend on mutations of the HFE gene discovered in 1996, but since then others have been discovered and sometimes are grouped together as "non-classical hereditary haemochromatosis",[7] "non-HFE related hereditary haemochromatosis",[8] or "non-HFE haemochromatosis".[9] Description OMIM Mutation Haemochromatosis type 1: "classical" haemochromatosis 235200 HFE Haemochromatosis type 2A: juvenile haemochromatosis 602390 Haemojuvelin ("HJV", also known as RGMc and HFE2) Haemochromatosis type 2B: juvenile haemochromatosis 606464 hepcidin antimicrobial peptide (HAMP) or HFE2B Haemochromatosis type 3 604250 transferrin receptor-2 (TFR2 or HFE3) Haemochromatosis type 4/ African iron overload 604653 ferroportin (SLC11A3/SLC40A1) Neonatal haemochromatosis 231100 (unknown) Acaeruloplasminaemia (very rare) 604290 caeruloplasmin Congenital atransferrinaemia (very rare) 209300 transferrin GRACILE syndrome (very rare) 603358 BCS1L Most types of hereditary haemochromatosis have autosomal recessive inheritance, while type 4 has autosomal dominant inheritance.[10] Diagnosis: There are several methods available for diagnosing and monitoring iron loading including: Serum ferritin, Liver biopsy, HFE, MRI. Serum ferritin is a low-cost, readily available, and minimally invasive method for assessing body iron stores. However, the major problem with using it as an indicator of iron overload is that it can be elevated in a range of other medical conditions unrelated to iron levels including infection, inflammation, fever, liver disease, renal disease, and cancer. Also, total iron binding capacity may be low, but can also be normal.[11] Screening: Family members of those with primary haemochromatosis should be screened to determine if they are a carrier or if they could develop the disease. This can allow preventative measures to be taken. Treatment: Routine treatment in an otherwise-healthy person consists of regularly scheduled phlebotomies (bloodletting). When first diagnosed, the phlebotomies may be fairly frequent, perhaps as often as once a week, until iron levels can be brought to within normal range. Once iron and other markers are within the normal range, phlebotomies may be scheduled every other month or every three months depending upon the patient's rate of iron loading. For those unable to tolerate routine blood draws, there is a chelating agent available for use. The drug deferoxamine binds with iron in the bloodstream and enhances its elimination via urine and faeces. Typical treatment for chronic iron overload requires subcutaneous injection over a period of 8–12 hours daily. Prognosis: A third of those untreated develop hepatocellular carcinoma.[28] Affected individuals over age 40 or who have high serum ferritin levels are at risk for developing cirrhosis. Significant problems occur in around one in ten.[27] Epidemiology: It is most common in white people and occurs in 0.6% of the population.[27] Man who have the disease get symptoms from too much iron 24 fold more times more often than women.[27] Terminology: Historically, the term haemochromatosi (spelled hemochromatosis in American English) was initially used to refer to what is now more specifically called haemochromatosis type 1 (or HFE-related hereditary haemochromatosis). Currently, haemochromatosis (without further specification) is mostly defined as iron overload with a hereditary/primary cause,[29][30] or originating from a metabolic disorder.[31] However, the term is currently also used more broadly to refer to any form of iron overload, thus requiring specification of the cause, for example, hereditary haemochromatosis. Hereditary haemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disorder with estimated prevalence in the population of 1 in 200 among patients with European ancestry, with lower incidence in other ethnic groups.[32] The gene responsible for hereditary haemochromatosis (known as HFE gene) is located on chromosome 6; the majority of hereditary haemochromatosis patients have mutations in this HFE gene. Hereditary haemochromatosis is characterized by an accelerated rate of intestinal iron absorption and progressive iron deposition in various tissues that typically begins to be expressed in the third to fifth decades of life, but may occur in children. The most common presentation is hepatic cirrhosis in combination with hypopituitarism, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, arthritis, or hyperpigmentation. Because of the severe sequelae of this disorder if left untreated, and recognizing that treatment is relatively simple, early diagnosis before symptoms or signs appear is important.[12][33] In general, the term haemosiderosis is used to indicate the pathological effect of iron accumulation in any given organ, which mainly occurs in the form of haemosiderin.[34][35] Sometimes, the simpler term siderosis is used instead. Other definitions distinguishing haemochromatosis or haemosiderosis that are occasionally used include: Haemosiderosis is haemochromatosis caused by excessive blood transfusions, that is, haemosiderosis is a form of secondary haemochromatosis.[36][37] Haemosiderosis is haemosiderin deposition within cells, while haemochromatosis is haemosiderin within cells and interstitium.[38] Haemosiderosis is iron overload that does not cause tissue damage,[39] while haemochromatosis does.[40] Haemosiderosis is arbitrarily differentiated from haemochromatosis by the reversible nature of the iron accumulation in the reticuloendothelial system.[41] References 1.

Powered by MediaWiki ------------------- From Web MD: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/hemochromatosis-gene-test-hfe Hemochromatosis Gene Test (HFE Test) Hemochromatosis gene (HFE) testing is a blood test used to check for hereditary hemochromatosis, an inherited disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron. The iron then builds up in the blood, liver, heart, pancreas, joints, skin, and other organs. In its early stages, hemochromatosis can cause joint and belly pain, weakness, lack of energy, and weight loss. It can also cause scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), darkening of the skin, diabetes, infertility, heart failure, irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia), and arthritis. But many people do not have symptoms in the early stages. In men, hereditary hemochromatosis is usually found at ages 40 to 60. In women, it is not usually found until after menopause because, until that time, women regularly lose blood and iron during their monthly periods. Why It Is Done HFE testing is used to find out if a person has an increased chance of having hemochromatosis. It is often recommended for people who have a close family member—parent, brother, sister, or child—with this disease. This test might be done if you have high iron levels in your blood. This test helps to find out if you have hemochromatosis. HFE testing locates and identifies mutations in the HFE genes. These gene mutations are called C282Y and H63D. How To Prepare Generally, no special preparation is required before having a hemochromatosis gene test. Genetic test results often have ethical, legal, or social implications. You may want to talk to a genetic counselor before making a decision about testing. Genetic counselors are trained to explain the test and its results clearly. A genetic counselor can help you make well-informed decisions. Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Synonyms HH bronze diabetes classic hemochromatosis HFE-related hemochromatosis hemochromatosis type I hemosiderosis primary hemochromatosis Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Hereditary hemochromatosis is a general term for several rare genetic disorders that are characterized by the accumulation of iron in various organs of the body such as the liver, heart and pancreas. The abnormally stored iron can damage affected organs, potentially causing a variety of different symptoms. The most common form of hemochromatosis is known by several different names including hemochromatosis type I, HFE-related hemochromatosis, hereditary hemochromatosis and classic hereditary hemochromatosis. Iron accumulation in classic hereditary hemochromatosis occurs slowly over many years. Eventually, iron accumulation causes tissue damage and impaired functioning of affected organs. In many cases, symptoms may not become apparent until some point between 40-60 years of age. Onset is usually earlier for men compared to women. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, weakness, lethargy, and unintended weight loss. Without treatment, classic hereditary hemochromatosis can progress to cause serious, life-threatening complications including failure of affected organs. There are several different disorders associated with excess iron accumulation in the body. Collectively, these different disorders are grouped under the name iron overload disorders. These disorders are caused by mutations to different genes and have different clinical presentations. Classic hereditary hemochromatosis is caused by mutations of the HFE gene. This report primarily deals with classic hereditary hemochromatosis caused by mutation of the HFE gene.
