The goal of this project is to find whether or not the Colonial Sargents can be traced back to the Plantagenet family of English Royalty and Viking roots. Right now this project just has one member, me. I am [[Mikkelsen-273|Helen Mikkelsen]]. Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * To find evidence of birth, life, death of people from the Sargent line previous to 1780. * To explore connections to other lines (particularly Braybrook, Delapole, and Plantagenet) through evidence of marriage and birth. * To follow threads of the Sargent line as it weaves through England and Western Europe. Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in [http://www.wikitree.com/g2g G2G] using the project tag, or [http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=12811619 send me a private message]. Thanks!

I am using this page as an experiment of sorts, a starting point to put memories of my childhood and the contributions that my great-grandfather's family made to the community of North Danville, New Hampshire. In the future, I want to collect information that will attempt to trace the Colonial Sargent family ties to Old World Royalty: Plantagenet.

In her free time, she also enjoys gardening, crafting, and whatever is sparking her interest at the time. === Kenneth Ray Trenary II (1967-Present) === Kenneth Ray Trenary II was born on April 30th, 1967 in Berkeley County, West Virginia to parents, [[Trenary-269|Kenneth Trenary]] and [[Rogers-46636|Barbara Rogers]].

This is an attempt at separating the many Lazarus Stewarts most of whom are located in the Pennsylvania area and for the most part all related. 1: Lazarus Stewart Sr. Lazarus Stewart I was born in Scotland abt. 1683. He emigrated with his family first to Ireland, then to Holland, and finally to America, and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1723. He married his cousin Margaret Stewart daughter of [[Stewart-1290|Charles Stewart]] and [[Harris-1225|Margaret Harris]] in 1709. He died in Lancaster Pennsylvania 1743. According to "History of Dauphin County Pennyslvania" published in 1907 At a session of the Presbytery held at Middle Octoraro, Lancaster county, November 20th 1735, Lazarus Stewart appeared to prosecute a supplication of Manada creek for a new erection. The region along Manada creek to the mountains was settled rapidly, and the people early began to feel the inconvenience of going so far as Derry to church, and moved for a new "erection or congregation. He cleared 20 acres and built a house and barn on the land he acquired but never obtained a warrant from the Penns. In a land description of Dec 2, 1738 his land is mentioned as adjoining. After his death his son Lazarus took out a warrant dated Oct. 20, 1743 for the land his father had never patented. In later years the heirs became involved in a lawsuit over the division over the first Lazarus' estate. *In an entry in a minute book of the Pennsylvania board of property: “28th 12 mo. 1728 [Feb. 28:, __1728-9]:[[Stewart-4429|George Stewart]] requests the grant of about 500 acres or land below the fork of Sawatara creek, 200 acres for himself and 300 acres for his brother-in-law, Lazarus Stewart.” ---- 2: Lazarus Stewart Jr. was born in 1718 most likely in Ireland and died in 1781 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. His father was [[Stewart-1287|Lazarus Stewart Sr.]] and mother is still unknown at this point. His wife was named Elizabeth ? He was listed as a road overseer on the 1762 Hanover township records. ---- 3: Capt. Lazarus Stewart was born on 16 May 1734 to James Stewart son of Charles and Margaret Stewart daughter of Lazarus Sr. He married Martha Espy on 26 Sep 1765, in York County, Pennsylvania. He commanded a company known as "The Paxtang Rangers". He died July 34 1778 at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wyoming| Wyoming Massacre]. In many different books he has been listed as the son of Lazarus 1, Alexander, Robert, John and james. However in the court records over the settling of Lazarus 1's estate he is said to be the son of James and Margaret and there is a Lazarus named a son in James' will. *Lineages, Inc., comp.

Lazarus Stewart was born in 1740 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to John and Frances Stewart. He married Dorcas Hopkins around 1775. He died on July 3rd 1778 with his cousin Cpt Lazarus at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wyoming| Wyoming Massacre]. He is often listed as Lazarus Stewart Jr. but only in newer texts that refer to the Battle of Wyoming. In the colonial minutes taken from their era he was referred to as "the younger" but not as a Jr. I believe the confusion probably comes from the fact that he was outlived by his uncle Lazarus Jr. who lived in the same area. He is mentioned in his mothers will when she refers to her grand daughter Frances Stewart daughter of Lazarus Stewart deceased.

From 1916 to 1954, William and Adelaide are always enrolled at the same address in the Australian Electoral Roll. From 1963, up to Adelaide's death in 1973, William is no longer at the same address.
In itself, this is not proof that they separated or divorced. William's last known occupation was a motor engineer. William did not pass away until 1982. Since he was then 91, he would have been a fair age by 1963, so he most likely became ill, and had to go into care. === ELECTORAL ROLLS, Victoria, Australia === ''1916, 1917 - Richmond North, Yarra, Victoria, Australia''

=='''TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL JUNE, 30, 1899'''== '''By FRANK P. MAC LENNAN VOLUME XXVI No. 154 page 4 ''' '''TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE, 30, 1899.''' '''KANSAS NEWS''' '''The History of Jester's Past Is a Dark One''' '''ALWAYS BEEN CRUEL''' '''Suspected of Murdering a Man at Valley Center''' '''Said to Hare Attempted to Kill a Sister in Indiana.''' '''Wichita. June 30.''' Sheriff Simmons, who arrested Alexander Jester at Shawnee, O. T., last week, for the murder of young Gilbert Gates, in Audrain county, Mo., twenty-eight years ago has returned to Wichita to secure witnesses for a more complete Identification of Jester, who is to be brought here as soon as the habeas corpus hearing is finished at Tecumseh. One of the witnesses who will be called to see Jester is John Mott, who lives near Valley Center, Kansas, on a claim which Jester jumped in 1870. In the trial Mott beat Jester and got the land. Jester, it is said, afterward tried to get Mott out on a hunt to put him out of the way. While Sheriff Simmons was at Shawnee he got a lengthy statement of Jester's life from his sister, Mrs. Cornelia Street, who wrote the letter to Sheriff Simmons giving her brother away. In the statement Mrs. Street says Jester was totally bad from the time he was 10 years old till he killed Gilbert Gates, at which time he was 50. In 1870, according to Mrs. Street, while Jester and his first wife lived on a claim near Valley Center, a young doctor went to their place one night and stayed until after breakfast the following morning. In a few minutes after the doctor left. Jester stepped out and did not return until noon. He had the doctor's horse and buggy and medicine case and the doctor was never heard of again. This came out on Jester after his first arrest for the murder of young Gates and was told to Mrs. Street by Jester's first wife, who died sixteen years ago. Jester has been married twice since, but deserted both women, and was to have been married last Sunday for the fourth time. Mrs. Street could not remember the young doctor's name, but she said his medicine case sat around in the Jester house for years. When Jester was 16 years old, while the family lived in Indiana he beat one of his sisters over the head with a club until she sank to the ground, and then took a knife and tried to cut an artery in her left arm so she would bleed to death. This was near Hagerstown, Ind. At another time he had trouble With his mother and, during the quarrel, he threw a big stone on her feet, injuring her so that she was a cripple for several years. Mrs. Street's statement was a long one, and shows Jester to be a man of unusually vicious character. A special from Hagerstown, Ind., says Jester lived there in 1865. He went west and returned in the spring of 1865 with young Gates' team and wagon and leading a young buffalo which Gates left Kansas with and was taking home to domesticate. Mrs. Street says that young Gates' trunk was split in five pieces and buried on a farm near Valley Center. J. W. Gates of Chicago, brother of the murdered man, thinks Mrs. Street's story fs perfectly straight. He says his father dug up the pieces of Gates' trunk at the time of Jester's arrest and that no one knew of this part of the case except Mr. Gates and the Jester family. '''Tecumseh, I. T., June 30.''' Alexander Jester, alias W. A. Hill, under arrest for the murder of Gilbert W. Gates twenty-eight years ago, still occupies a cell in the Pottawatomie county jail here and Sheriff Melson of Audrain county. Mo., is still here, pending the hearing of the habeas corpus case, which is set for July 8. The Missouri officer will make a strong effort to secure his prisoner before many days have passed. County Attorney Pittman today filed a petition in the probate court for the turning over of Jester to Melson. The hearing has been set for next Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and will be a test of the probate judge's authority to hear habeas corpus proceedings. Attorney General Cunningham's opinion will be used by Pittman in his contention that Probate Judge Jennings is exceeding his powers. A. H. Finks of Shawnee, formerly of Audrain county. Mo., made a deposition this morning corroborating J. W. Gates identification of Jester or Hill. Finks is sure he is the man tried for Gilbert Gates' murder in 1871. The aged prisoner was in better health today than yesterday, and appears to be in good spirits. =='''THE EVENING BULLETIN JULY 14, 1900'''== '''VOLUME XIX. MAYSVILLE, KY., SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1900. NUMBER 196''' '''THE JESTER TRIAL''' '''Brother of Murdered Mann Tells Why He Is Pushing the Case''' '''New London, Mo., July 13 ''' Ex-Governor Charles P. Johnston of St. Louis, one of the chief attorneys for the state In the trial of Alexander Jester, charged with the killing of Gilbert Gates, brother of John W. Gates, made a statement as to the reasons which led to the prosecution by Gates of the aged prisoner. He said: "The Gates family bad long since given up all intention of ever pushing the case of the murder of their brother to trial. One year or more ago this man was forced again to the attention of the Gates family under the most peculiar circumstances by Jester's sister. John W. Gates told us he felt It a duty he owed to the memory of his dead brother, a duty he owed the state and, above all, a duty he owed his aged parents to demand a vigorous trial and an unearthing of all the testimony possible. We have had detectives follow that open trail through four states and knew nearly every act of Alexander Jester for the past 30 years." Francis M. Dawson, who lived about four miles east of the Hulin lane and south of the Paris (Mo.) road In 1871, took the stand. He testified that in January, 1871, he met Alexander Jester in this lane. The old man had two teams and two wagons. They were standing still In the road at a point west of the Madison road. As Dawson passed Jester asked him how far it was to a road on which he could turn south. This evidence Is considered significant, as showing that Jester's turning from the main thoroughfare was intentional. John DeMott of Valley Center, Kan., testified that he had lived there 20 years, and had known Jester for 30 years. He never knew Jester as "Hill." Jester lived with his wife and seven children, and had "on his place In 1870 a "jolt" wagon and a buffalo calf. The witness said Jester not only farmed, but also preached and was an attendant at Sunday school. J. C. Templeton of Renlck, Mo., testified that he saw Jester and Gates at Renlck In 1871. Jester exhibited the buffalo calf there, and took up a collection. This Is supposed to be a short time before Gates was killed. Jester's daughter Alice arrived from Norman, O. T. Joseph B. Delaney, an old citizen of Monroe county, testified that his wife awakened him at their home near Middle Grove, one night in January, 1871, and told him she had heard cries of distress. Mr. Delaney said he went to the camp next morning and Inquired the cause of the cries. He said Jester replied that during a dream he had choked young Gates and Gates had screamed. The witness then pointed to Jester as the same man who told him the story that morning In January, 1871.

{{Westward Ho|sub-project = Trails and Wagon Trains}} --------------------------------------
As Westward Expansion of major parts of North America became possible with the Louisiana Purchase by the United States from France in 1803, the swell of immigrants from Europe and elsewhere had pushed the population higher, and toward the current boundaries of the United States. Feeling the building pressure of limited space, it was several decades after the [[Space:Lewis_and_Clark|Lewis and Clark]] expedition before most average folk began making the trek west. From 1840 to 1870 more than 500,000 people made journeys to find a better life in the west. When these people decided to venture out, whether for economic, political or religious reasons, it was usually entire families bringing their possessions by covered wagon. With little exception the travel was made in groups or "trains" of wagons organized by wagon masters hired to guide them to a common midway or end point. From that terminus the individual or family made the short trip to their final destination, typically a homestead. {{Image|file=Photos-876.png |align=r |size=m |caption=Oregon Trail Marker Stone }} Many of these travelers endeavored to make the entire journey to the Pacific region. However, a good number stopped short in areas that became Montana, Colorado, and Utah. Regardless of their final destination, these "pioneers" or "settlers" were part of a great migration into the wilderness by foot and by wagon. Over time ancient trails became named routes, used repeatedly and becoming well known to contemporaries and history alike. The most famous of these trails led west. Originating in Independence, Missouri, and called the Oregon Trail, it spanned over 2,000 miles. Other westward paths included the California Trail and Mormon Trail. There were also southern routes including the Santa Fe Trail, Southern Emigrant Trail, and the Old Spanish Trail (not to be confused with the Mormon Trail, the Mormon Road was a successor to the Old Spanish Trail). Stories of these trails and the people who traveled across the vast distance are etched into the culture and folklore of the United States. Whether the journey ended well or in tragedy (e.g. [[Image:Profile_Photo_s-42.png|10px|Red Bullet]][[Space:Donner_Party|Donner Party]]), their courage and fortitude is still celebrated more than 150 years later. ---- Listed below are brief descriptions of each major trail with resources and links to WikiTree profiles or pages that explore the lives and stories tied to each route. == Oregon Trail == ''The Oregon Trail is a 2,200-mile (3,500 km) historic east-west large wheeled wagon route and emigrant trail that connected the Missouri River to valleys in Oregon.''

*[[Space:The_Whitman_Party|The Whitman Party]] - The first significant wagon train to traverse The Oregon Trail for the purpose of settlement in Oregon Country. Led in 1836 by Marcus Whitman, a Methodist missionary and physician, the party joined with a fur trapping caravan of seven wagons, led by Milton Sublett and Thomas Fitzpatrick. Party members Henry and Eliza Spalding broke off early, settling in what is now Idaho to create a Presbyterian mission in Nez Perce territory. Marcus Whitman and his wife Narcissa settled in what is now Walla Walla, Washington, to build a mission in Cayuse territory. Whitman and his wife were later killed when Cayuse Indians attacked the mission, in what was later dubbed The Whitman Massacre, which was the start of the Cayuse War. *[[Space:The_Mission_Party_of_1838|The Mission Party of 1838]] - After traveling to Oregon Territory with [[Space:The_Whitman_Party|The Whitman Party]], [[Gray-8691|W.H.

Gilliam had advertised in the summer of 1843 that he would lead an emigrant party to Oregon in the Spring, and that the rendezvous would be on the Missouri river's right bank opposite Owen's Landing (present day Amazonia). Camp was set up as scheduled on 9 March, and the journey commenced on 9 May. Eventually the party consisted of 84 wagons and 370 persons when organized west of the Iowa/Sac & Fox Presbyterian Mission. *[[Space:Stephens_Townsend_Murphy_Party|Stephens–Townsend–Murphy Party]] - in 1844 ten families migrated from Iowa to California, significant because they were the first to cross the Sierra Nevada with wagons, they pioneered the route through what was later named Donner Pass. *[[Space:Donner_Party|Donner Party]] - were 81 American Pioneers that set out for California in a wagon train and became snowbound in the Sierra Nevada in 1846.

Julia Johnson was born Julia Trammell. Another important name in the set above is [[Trammell-1403|Porthenia Trammell]]. We see her as "Henny" in other records which some descendants had mistaken for a shortened version of Henrietta. Porthenia is the presumed mother of a number of these Trammell's. '''We see Porthenia in Harris County, in 1870. By 1880 she and others had migrated to Yazoo, Mississippi.''' One example of such a family sharing the migration is Jasper Trammell and wife Oney (Clements) Trammell. In 1870 we their family living next to a Clements family. The head of household Shep is close in age to Oney. After Oney and family have moved to Mississippi (see below) we see the first son born in the new state is named Shep. Whether Oney and Shep merely grew up together in Harris County, were siblings or cousins is not known at this time. Porthenia (Henny) in the 1870 U.S. Census. is listed as being 38 placing her year of birth around 1832. This makes her too young to be the mother of Jasper, Elbert, Warren, Alexander, and Oliver Trammell (though some researchers had associated them as sons). Below is an exceprt of the page of the 1880 Census for Henny and some of the others who made the same migration from Harris County, Georgia to Yazoo County, Mississippi.

Return to [[Graham-7228|Ranald Grahme]] A list of transactions, leases, deeds, disputes etc held at the National Archives and others. As I have no access to these documents, their relevance or importance is unknown but may be worth investigating further. There are a considerable number not listed here as they have little information but may also be worth looking at. ===Norton Conyers=== Reference: C 10/475/109 :Description: Short title: Grahme v Grahme. :Plaintiffs: James Grahme, Fergus Grahme and '''Ronald Grahme'''. :Defendants: '''Reginald Grahme''', Sir Richard Grahme kt, Sir George Fletcher kt, Dame Mary Fletcher his wife and others. :Subject: property in Norton Conyers manor, Yorkshire. :Document type: bill only Date: 1676 Held by: The National Archives, Kew https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5999470 Court of Chancery, 6 clerks. Reference: C 10/193/40 :Description: Short title: Grahme v Grahme. :Plaintiffs: James Grahme, Fergus Grahme and '''Reginald Grahme'''. :Defendants: '''Reginald Grahme''', Sir Richard Grahme bart, William Grahme, Margaret Grahme, Sir George Fletcher bart and Dame Mary Fletcher his wife. :Subject: property in Norton Conyers etc, Yorkshire. :Document type: two answers Date: 1676 Held by: The National Archives, Kew https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5994385 Court of Chancery, 6 clerks. Without seeing these documents it's difficult to distinguish the relationship between the various Grahmes. George Grahme, inherited Norton Conyers from his father Richard (1st bt) who died in 1653. Richard was Ranald's brother, and consequently George was Ranald's nephew. George himself had five sons, [[Graham-3403|Richard]], who was first in line, followed by [[Graham-9654|James]], [[Graham-9657|Fergus]], [[Graham-6649|William]] and Renald or [[Graham-6656|Reginald]]. He died in c1658/9 and his willGeorge Grahme's will 1659/60 https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D833610 proved in March 1659/60 was ambiguous, he basically left it up to his Uncle Ranald to sort out, so it's very likely that there were challenges to the inheritance which finally went to George's eldest son Richard (who became 3rd bt). So it's possible the three plaintiffs are sons of the late George Grahme. Their mother [[Johnstone-74|Mary Johnstone]] had remarried to [[Fletcher-2789|George Fletcher 2nd Bt]], who was now their stepfather. ===Nunnington=== Reference: C 6/160/82 :Short title: Graham v Norcliffe. :Plaintiffs: '''Reynold Graham'''. :Defendants: Sir Thomas Norcliffe kt, Henry Bradley, John King, Thomas Kirby, William Peacock, :Elizabeth Naylor and others. :Subject: property in Nunnington, Yorkshire. :Document type: bill, answer.

Navigation: [[:Space:Canada - Trans Canada Trail Team|Trans-Canada Trail Team]] > '''Trans-Canada Orphan Trail - Level I''' Now that you've received your Welcome email from the Trans-Canada Trail coordinator, you're ready to begin. The email you received contains links to WikiTree help pages that you'll want to keep available for easy reference. '''Level One focuses on post-Confederation profiles''' from 1868 to 1945, in the specific region you've decided to work in. The Welcome email also contains a link to this list of profiles: [[:Space:Trans-Canada Trail Orphaned Profiles for Level I|Level I Orphaned Profiles]]. '''Please Note:''' Your Guide will adopt the profile you select on your behalf. When your Guide has prepared the profile for you to work on, you'll be provided with a confirmation. This will also help ensure that you are in contact with your Guide. ==Process== When you receive approval to begin work on your selected profile, you should start by reviewing the help pages that were provided in your Welcome email.[[Space:Canada_Project_-_Style_Guide_and_Help|Here's a guide to what we expect, including a few example profiles, and tips for how to add biographies, formatting, and sources.]] Next, you should review the profile itself as it exists, before you start to work on it. *Check the location name fields. Are they correct for the profile's time period? Are the location names spelled correctly? (Find geographic and historic help for post-Confederation) *Search for and confirm there are no duplicate profiles existing already. If you find there is a duplicate profile, work with your guide to ensure it is merged correctly. *If there are existing sources on the profile, confirm they match the profiled person. If they do not, they should be removed, with an explanation in the Explain Your Changes field. *If there are biographical events without existing sources on the profile you've selected, you should search for Birth, Marriage, Death and Census records that are freely available and accessible online. These should be added to the profile, using a full source citation. *Use a Research Notes section for any information that you are unable to confirm, find, or is disputed. This will allow others to perform further research later. *Write a narrative biography that provides a picture of the person's entire life, using the sources you've found. *Review your profile for completedness. A basic profile should include enough information to prevent improper merges, a basic biography narrative, and a research notes section if there is incomplete or unverifiable information. *Submit your completed profile to your Guide for review. They will check it and provide you with feedback. You should make any revisions they recommend before choosing your next profile to work on. *Once you've completed four (4) profiles from this time period, you'll move to the next level which covers pre-Confederation (1867 and earlier) for the region you selected. ==Project Approved Resources for post-Confederation (post-1867)== *[https://www.familysearch.org/en/ FamilySearch website]: This repository contains records for over 80 dataset collections. *[https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Pages/home.aspx Library and Archives Canada]: This government-run website contains searchable databases (usually with images) for: **Censuses **Military Records *[http://archivescanada.ca/ Canadian Archival Information Network] *[https://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=8186 Canada's Historic Places] ===Regional Resources=== *[[Space:Atlantic_Canada_Resources|Atlantic Canada Resources]] *[[Space:Ontario_Resources|Ontario Resources]] *[[Space:Quebec_Ressources|Quebec Resources]] *Western Canada Resources: *[[Space:British_Columbia_Team#Resources|British Columbia Team Resources]] ==What we expect from Level 1== Do: *Biography: The best way to honour a person's memory is to write a few paragraphs about their life and family. A story is typically organized in chronological order, and so should a biography. Resist the urge to write in a time-line style, as it will be easier for others to build on what you've written when it is a narrative. We require our Travellers to follow the WikiTree guidelines for [[Help:Biographies|Biographies]] *Add sources. *Add as much detail as possible from the sources you've found. *Add a list of children with simple details and sources, if available. Do not: *Acknowledgements are often found at the bottom of a profile page. We do not acknowledge uploaders of profiles. We do not retain a list of GEDCOM uploads or Merges. These can be tracked on the Changes tab. *We discourage the use of tables and other advanced code on profiles. While they can be a convenient way to display information, they often intimidate less experienced users. *We discourage the use of coloured or non-standard fonts. *We do not encourage background/wallpaper images, and please remember that these are a matter of taste. Backgrounds can also be very difficult for members with vision issues. Please be thoughtful about adding these and don't take it personally if someone removes the background image after you've completed your work on the profile.

First it is my will and desire that all my just and lawful debts be paid out of my personal property except negroes, furniture and my wearing apparel, should the debts due and owing to me not be sufficient to pay all my lawful debts-then it is my will and desire that my share in the plantation commonly called "Woodbine" on the great Satilla River together with my share of the negroes thereon should be held and retained by my executors and that the income arising therefrom after the payment of expenses be appropriated to the payment of my lawful debts until they are extinguished. It is my will and desire that as soon as the income arising from my share of the plantation and negroes aforesaid is sufficient to pay all my lawful debts that then that my share of the said plantation and negroes be sold and that proceeds of the sale to be applied and distributed as hereinafter directed. And I hereby authorize my executors hereinafter mentioned to sell my share in said plantation and negroes in such term and in such manner as they shall see fit. It is my will and desire that my negro Simon Joanna and her mulatto child Charles be emancipated and set free as no person ever had the right to hold him in slavery, on application to Mr. Riley of this place, I believe she and her child may be found. It is my wish and desire that the said mulatto boy Charles should be sent to school until he has acquired a tolerable English education in reading writing and arithmetic and then be bound out to some good trade for seven years or until he understands the business he is put to, and at his arriving at the age of twenty one years, I will and bequeath to him the sum of one thousand dollars.

Lastly I hereby constitute and appoint my brother John Bixby my brother in law John Eliot and John King executors of this my last will and testament.

Elizabeth S Lee probate on 24 Feb 1851. * 24 FEB 1851 Charleston County, SC, USA. Signed by Elizabeth S. Lee and witnessed by Caroline D. L. Lockwood, Ann Perry, and Ann T. Forgartie. * Probated 22 JAN 1853 Charleston County, SC. ===Transcribed Text=== South Carolina. In the name of God, Amen, I, Elizabeth S. Lee of CHarleston, being of sound and disposing Mind and Memory, but mindful of the uncertainty of Life, do make publish and declare this to be my last will and testament hereby cancelling and revoking all former Wills and testaments by me heretofore made. Item, I will and bequeath to Mother a small breast pin, Containing deceased brother Laurence's hair. Item, I give and bequeath to my niece Frances Ann Lee my wardrobe and bedstead. Item, I give and bequeath to my niece Mary E. D. Lee my Watch and Guard, a Tulip Inkstand, and musical box. Item, I give and bequeath to my niece Mary E. D. Lee my share in the Piano agreeable to understanding had when it was purchased by her Father & myself. Item, I give and bequeath to my nephew Lawrence S. Lee, the large Bible given me by Father and Mother. Item, I give and bequeath to my niece Elizabeth S. Lee the daughter of my brother Stephen my ring. Item, I give and bequeath to my niece Elizabeth L. Lee daughter of my deceased brother Lawrence my dressing table and glass and work table. Item, I give and bequeath to my brother Joseph T. Lee the silver sugar dish and milk pot with my name on them, and a set of tea china, with the understanding that they will continue in my mother's possession during her lifetime if she wishes them. Item, the articles in my wardrobe, I direct my Mother and brother Joseph to dispose of as they should think best. Having already empowered my brother Stephen to dispose of Cyrus in order that I may pay to Mother and brother Joseph the money which I owe to each of them I now direct my Executor to sell the said Cyrus if anything should prevent my brother Stephen from accomplishing the sale. I likewise direct my Executor to dispose of Monday. WIth the money obtained from the sale of Cyrus and Monday I direct my debts to my Mother and brother Joseph, which are all the debts I owe, to be paid as soon as convenient. The money remaining from the sale of Cyrus and Monday, after payment of my debts to Mother and brother Joseph, I give and bequeath as follows. Item, I give and bequeath to my Niece Elizabeth S. Lee daughter of my brother Stephen Two Hundred Dollars. Item, I give and bequeath to my niece Elizabeth L. Lee daughter of my deceased brother Lawrence Two Hundred Dollars. Item, the residue of the money from the sale of Cyrus and Monday after paying the debts to Mother and my brother Joseph and the aforementioned legacies to my two nieces, I direct to be divided equally between my nieces Frances Ann Lee Mary E. D. Lee Caroline K. L. Lee, Elizabeth Lee daughter of my brother Isaac and my nephew Lawrence S. Lee. My other negroes Lucy and her Children I could never properly have taken during my Mother's lifetime. They are mine from a deed from my father's attests. They were my Mother's when the deed was written, who consented to their being given to me on condition that they were not taken from her during her life-time. They are needed for my Mother's support. I might simply give them to my mother, and then at her death they would be disposed of according to the Provisions of her Will. But there are objections to this course. First my Mother as well as Myself desire that Lucy and her children, with the exception of Jack and Molly, should not be separated from each other or sold to be removed from Charleston where Lucy's husband is. Secondly, my Mother does not wish to alter her will again to name these negroes. I therefore give and bequeath Lucy and her children as well as any future issue of the Mother to my Mother Kezia Lee provided by the sale of them or by a deed of gift of them she so dispose of them as will meet the humane views expressed in the former part of this will. In case she is unable or does not see fit to do so then I give and bequeath the Negroes as follows. Item I give and bequeath Jack and Molly to my Mother Kezia Lee. Item I give and bequeath Lucy and her Children with the exception of Jack and Molly to Mother Kezia Lee during her lifetime, and at her death I direct my Executors to dispose of these negroes according to their humane views expressed above, and I direct that the money obtained from the sale of them be divided into 6 parts which I give as follows namely 1/6 to my brother Stephen 1/6 to my brother Isaac 1/6 to my brother Thomas 1/6 to my brother Joseph 1/6 to the children of my deceased brother William 1/6 to the children of my deceased brother Lawrence. Lastly, I nominate, constitute and appoint my brother Joseph T. Lee Executor of this my last will and Testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand seal this twenty-fourth day of February in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred & Fifty One.

==Notes and Analysis== This is a letter from the Dunn archive, available as microfilm items in the East Sussex Record Office. The letter is from [[Busbridge-91|John Busbridge]] to his daughter [[Busbridge-93|Anne (Busbridge) Farnden]].John Busbridge, Deans Yard, [Westminster] to his daughter Ann Farnden at Col Busbridge's house at Haremere. 27 Apr 1659. East Sussex and Brighton and Hove Record Office (ESBHRO) [https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/74bf5300-3fc1-4798-b95f-cd974003ec44 DUN 51/63A] The following people are mentioned in the letter *Aunt Scrope: [[Temple-3516|Mary (Temple) Scrope]] *my brother: in this context probably [[Scrope-126|Adrian Scrope)]] *Cozen Walson: possibly a mistype, may refer to Elizabeth (Scrope) Whetham *my dafter: one of Constance, Susanna or Hester Busbridge *your sister: one of six *your mother: by this date actually stepmother Joan *John: probably a servant *brother Scrope: [[Scrope-126|Adrian Scrope)]] *my nephews: sons of Adrian Scrope *your husband: [[Farnden-29|Peter Farnden]] *my son Roberts: [[Roberts-43885|Walter Roberts]] The letter refers to Cozen Walson which may refer to Mary Scrope's daughter Elizabeth who had married Nathaniel Whetham. It was common for women to return to the family home to give birth, especially to a first child. But this does give a problem with the previously assumed date of birth of Elizabeth. If this was her first child she would be expected to be at least 16 years old, giving a date of birth in 1643, not the 1655 previously estimated. This also means that her mother was probably Mary Waller and not Mary Temple. ==Transcript== Dafter Farnden

These were not three successive lives or generations but existing lives chosen with a view to maximising the length of the lease and ensuring the security of the tenant's immediate family in the holding. The tenant normally nominated himself and one or more of his children, where he judged them young enough and fit enough for the purpose. While the heir to a holding was frequently named as one of the lives in the lease, there was no requirement to do so. The lives named in the lease had no special claims on the holding itself and could only succeed to it by the normal means of heirship, will, intestacy, settlement or sale.

This Will was proved 11 December 1559 by John Skynner senior Esquire and John Skynner junior the supervisors named in the said Will of the deceased to whom admon was granted for Thomas Newdegate junior the executor. === The People named in Thomas's Will === # Thomas had four living children under the age of 21 - Thomas, Elizabeth, Barbara and Dorothy - the earliest date the eldest child could have been born would be 5th April 1538. These children must be from Thomas's first marriage to Miss Vavysor because ## Thomas refers in his Will to the 'AChamber' and 'Parker' children of his now wife Jane. ## his wife Jane had been married previously to [1] Richard de la Chambre and then [2] John Parker who made his Will on 5th October 1557https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D979258 ;PROB 11/40/327; Will of John Parker of Willingdon, Sussex; Date: 25 June 1558 (probate was granted 25th June 1558), thereby making it impossible for Jane to be the mother of Thomas's four children. # Thomas had two brothers in law - John Skynner and Mr [Edmund] Pope.

According to the Visitations of Surrey and Sussex, Anne Skynner/Skinner nee Newdigate and Elizabeth Pope nee Newdigate were the daughters of '''Thomas Newdigate''' - this would suggest that Thomas's father was also '''Thomas Newdegate''' and not Walter. # As well as his brother-in-law John Skynner and John's son, also John, Thomas named 'John Newdegate of Lincolns Inn my kinsman' as the third supervisor and overseer of his Will. There are two John Newdigate admissions to Lincolns Inn - (1) 1st November 1510 John Newdigate, son of John Newdigate https://archive.org/details/VOL114201799/page/n39/mode/2up?q=newdigate and (2) 23rd January 1556/7 John Newdigate https://archive.org/details/VOL114201799/page/n67/mode/2up?q=newdigate (the ODNB article suggests that this John Newdigate was the eldest and only surviving son of John Newdigate of Harefield in Middlesex and his first wife Mary Cheney https://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-20001?rskey=8HvdK3&result=2 (see also Black Books Vol. 1 - Newdigate and Newdegate https://archive.org/details/VOL114221586/page/n3/mode/2up?q=newdegate) # Thomas had an aunt called Alice Saunder who lived in Buckinghamshire (Buckinghamshire is the county associated with 'John Newdigate the eldest and only surviving son of John Newdigate and his wife Mary Cheney - see 3 above).

There are records in the East Sussex Record Office (ESRO) The Keep catalogue for '''A''' 'Thomas Newdigate of Wivelsfield' and also 'of Lindfield'. These are dating from 1527 to 1557 which '''could''' suggest two people of this name - the estimated dob for Thomas's sister, Elizabeth Pope nee Newdigate, is c1508 and the marriage settlement for Thomas's other sister, Anne Skinner nee Newdigate, is 1530 (so a possible dob c 1508 +/- 5). These estimates 'suggest' that # the yob given on Thomas's profile of '1497 Haywards Heath Sussex' is much too early - with four young children under the age of 21 when he made his Will, I would suggest a yob of c 1510 at the earliest. # the ESRO records c 1527 have the potential to be for a 'father Thomas Newdigate'. == Sources ==

Your Petitioner is forty-nine (49) years of age and is a native-born citizen of the United States—has been a resident of said County of Muscogee for the last Eighteen years, and now is a resident of said County. His occupation has been that of a Planter. He had but very little to do with politics for many years. He never held any office under the government of the United States or any other government. He had no office…….to either a [xxxofficer?] or domestic agent of the [xxxx xx] called the Confederate States. He was a short time in the Militia of the States of Georgia because he was taken from his fields by some Confederate Soldiers and was [pulled? forced] to go into the service. Your Petitioner comes within only one of the conditions listed in the Amnesty Proclamation of your Excellency, and that one is the 13th clause of the same, However the twenty thousand dollars classing the property of your Petitioner … …consisting mostly of Lands, Plantation stocks and products of Plantation located in said County of Muscogee. Your Petitioner further says that no proceedings have been instituted, nor are there any new proceedings against him, in any of the Courts of the United States for treason or for conspiring against the government of the United States, or for the confiscation of his property. Nor has the government of the United States taken possession of any [ } time of his property as abandoned for [ ?] of the property of the [ ] so called Confederate States. Your Petitioner was lately the owner of about Thirty-nine Slaves, all of whom [xxxxx[ …and no longer claims any property in them. He has [ ] treating them as freed men.

He is most ready to take the oath prescribed in the said Amnesty Proclamation; and he strongly prays that Your Excellency may grant him a full pardon and as in duty assured he will so pray. Larkin Davidson This is followed by a testament like a notary’s statement by the Provost Marshall. Larkin Davidson then signed a standardized oath that he would…”henceforth faithfully defend the Constitution of the United States and the union of the States thereunder, and that I will in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves.” The oath was dated August 9, 1865, and it was also witnessed by the Provost Marshall. -transcribed by Davidson-16971; 7/7/2022; from a copy of the pardon included in the US Confederate Applications for Presidential Pardons, 1865-1867, Muscogee County, pg 1010 to 1014. ==Sources==

{{New Netherland Descendant}} On 26 April 1825, all of the living descendants of [[Van_Keuren-188|Benjamin Van Keuren]] sold land inherited by Benjamin from his father [[Van_Keuren-173|Matheus Van Keuren]], and, thereafter, jointly owned by his descendants. The deed [1] provides information regarding:
(1) The descendancy from Matheus, and
(2) Several transactions on the property. First, I will consider the descendancy. Following is a partial transcription of deed found at [1]. This text is quoted as is, with little punctuation. I have started new lines to separate the various persons involved; these do NOT appear in the original. I have also inserted letters to mark correspondence with the subsequent analysis: "This Indenture made the twenty sixth day of April in the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty five Between

David H. Vanwagner, Ann Maria W. Vanwagoner [M] To analyze the relationships of the persons named in the deed, I turned to "The Descendants of Mathijs Jansen van Ceulen,"[2] for the relevant portion of the descendancy. The intent is to map the descendancy that is implicit in the deed to the descendancy in the book, thus removing ambiguities in the deed and pointing out possible omissions in the book. The relevant portion of the book can be found in pages 118 through 127. In extracting the information, I have prepended codes that correspond to those that I've inserted in the excerpt from the deed. I have also abbreviated "Van Keuren" as "VK". The following list shows all of the known then-living descendants of Benjamin [I] and their relationship back to Matheus [J]: J 1 Matheus VK, 1706-1781

................. + John Dearin, 1781-1856 Conclusions regarding descendancy: * The relationships described in the book and the deed align. * The deed appears to name all of the living descendants of Matheus Van Keuren as of 1825. * It would appear that Anne Carpenter [N] was the same person as Anne Van Bommel, the widow of Robert VK [E], renamed due to re-marriage and apparently widowed again. * It would appear that Jacoba Dutcher was the same person as Jacoba Van Vleek, the widow of Benjamin [F] and subsequently the wife of Isaac Dutcher [K]. * It would appear that Anna Maria VK married David H. Vanwagoner [M] before signing the deed. * One signer, Peter VK [P] is not accounted for in the book, nor is his relationship explained in the deed. However, the position of his name in the deed suggests that he was a son of Robert VK [E]. Perhaps he is the same person listed in the book as Matheus. Alternatively, Matheus might have died before the signing of the deed and Peter might be a child missing from the book. Because no birth record is known for a Peter, son of Robert, it is also possible that Peter was, in effect, adopted. * Because Benjamin's son, Matheus [K], is not mentioned in the will, we could conjecture that he died without issue prior to the will. Alternatively, we could conjecture that Peter [P] was the sole issue of Matheus [K] * Cornelius Westervelt [Z] is the person who is buying the land. Second, I will consider the historical transactions on the property. I'm not an expert in reading land descriptions, but the deed appears to describe land in Poughkeepsie northeast of the land previously owned by Theophilus Anthony, which is known from other sources to have been located in the hamlet of Van Keuren, roughly west of the current IBM plant. The deed goes on to state: "... the above courses are taken from a deed made or executed the eleventh of January one thousand seven hundred and seventy seven by the said Theophilus and Nicholas N. Anthony to the said Matthew Van Keuren [J] and are the same courses in a deed executed the twenty fifth of September one thousand seven hundred and seventy nine by the said Matthew Van Keuren & Celetjie his wife [J] to their son Benjamin Van Keuren [I] who was the father of the said Anna Dearin [A] & Mary Wittse [B] and of the said Robert Van Keuren [E] deceased & Benjamin Van Keuren deceased [F]." Conclusions regarding property: * About 11 January 1777, Matheus VK [J] subdivided his property and, on that date, sold the southwestern parcel to Theophilus and Nicholas N. Anthony, retaining the northeastern parcel. * On 25 September 1779, Matheus VK [J] deeded that parcel to his son Benjamin VK [I]. * In this deed, the descendants of Benjamin [I] sold the land to Cornelius Westervelt.

These are the headers that read HISTORICAL RECORD OF UNION COUNTY, INDIANA 1821-1971 . * Insert the word "Page" before page numbers, and move the pagination to the top of the page. This a more logical location for an online version. * Insert the word "Photo" followed by a colon (:) prior to photo captions. * Move photo captions to a logical place that doesn't interrupt the flow of reading the text. Usually the most logical place will be between paragraphs near where the subject of the photo is discussed. * Ignore the following formats in the external word processor, as they cannot be carried into WikiTree without special coding. If you know the special WikiTree coding, you may use it if you feel the format it creates helps the transcription adhere to other guidelines. It is suggested that you consult with other editors before doing so to help ensure consistency throughout the work. ** bold, italics and underline ** centering and other alignments, including tabs ** tables ** other font faces (use Courier New throughout) ** bullets and numbered/lettered list formats * The following guidelines assist with proper formatting in WikiTree when using an external word processing tool to prep the text. ** Insert a blank line between each paragraph. ** Precede the advertisement footers by four ''spaced'' hyphens (- - - -) followed by a blank line. These hyphens must be spaced or WikiTree will convert them to a solid line across the page. Note, however, that our external word processor will insert indentation after entering the first hyphen and pressing space. Press the Undo button or the CTRL+Z shortcut to cancel that automatic replacement. ** Prior to a page number, insert a series of four ''unspaced'' hyphens (----) followed by a blank line then the following string of code. This will result in a solid line across the WIkiTree page followed by a quick link to take the reader back to the beginning of the book. Note, however, that our external word processor will convert this to a border line. Press the Undo button or the CTRL+Z shortcut to cancel that automatic replacement.

== Transcription == [[X-4197|X-4197]] 05:34, 17 July 2022 (UTC) Note: spelling, capitalization, and terminology are all as in the original. '''Stephen P. Willis''' The pioneer history of King county has upon its rolls the name of Stephen P. Willis, who for many years has resided within its borders and is therefore one of its oldest residents. Wonderful changes have occurred since his arrival, and of the work of progress and advancement he has ever been an advocate. By his active participation as well as friendly encouragement he has assisted in the development and substantial promotion of the county until it takes rank with the older counties of the east in all the elements of civilization. Illinois is the state of Mr. Willis's nativity, his birth having occurred in Putnam county[sic] on the 3d of September, 1831, and on the paternal side he is descended from old Scotch[sic] ancestry, while in the maternal line he is of Welsh descent. His father, James W. Willis, was born in South Carolina in 1797, but when a boy he was taken by his parents to Ohio, and in 1820 he located in Putnam county, Illinois. There he continued to make his home until 1839, when he removed to Linn county, Iowa, and there his life's labors were ended in death in 1844. He followed the tilling of the soil as a life occupation. For his wife he chose Ann Stewart, who was born in Kentucky in 1800, but was reared in Ohio. After her husband's death she remained in Iowa until 1857, then removed to Polk county, Oregon, from there to Umpqua, Douglas county, Oregon, and from there to Umatilla county, where her death occurred at the home of her daughter in 1885. Stephen P. Willis received only the meager advantages afforded by the district schools of Illinois and Iowa, and until his twenty-fourth year he remained under the parental roof and assisted in the work of the home farm. After his father's death he continued to care for his widowed mother in lowa until 1857, and in that year, by the Panama route, he went to California and Oregon, locating first in the Willamette valley, where he remained for two years. Going thence to the Umpqua valley in Douglas county, Oregon, he was there engaged in agricultural pursuits for six years, having purchased a farm near Roseburg in 1861. Four years later, in 1865, he came to the White river valley in Washington, where he homesteaded a tract of one hundred and sixty acres near the present town of Kent, which he cleared from the dense forest that covered it, and was there successfully engaged in farming and dairying for the long period of twenty-five years. By perseverance, industry, economy and good management he attained a leading position among the substantial farmers of the community, and his worth is widely acknowledged by those who are familiar with his honorable business methods. Desiring to retire from the active duties of a business life, Mr. Willis in 1895 placed his farm in charge of his nephew, W. J. Shinn. The latter divided the place into five-acre tracts, and these he sold on contract, but as some of the purchasers failed to meet their obligations Mr. Willis is still the owner of a part of the tract. In the meantime he had also purchased three lots at Latonia, on Lake Union, on which he erected a comfortable residence, and there he made his home for ten years. Selling his place in 1900, he returned to the old farm on White river, which he had previously given to his daughter, Mrs. Sarah Ross, whose husband, W. R. Ross, was waylaid and fatally shot by his neighbor, Alexander Simpson, in 1901. The latter is now serving a fifteen years' sentence for his crime. The motive which led to the terrible murder is thought to have been jealousy. Mr. Willis is a Prohibitionist, and takes a prominent part in the campaigns of his party. In Linn county, Iowa, in 1855, Mr. Willis was united in marriage to Caroline White, who was born in Ohio in 1833, and was of English descent. For many years they traveled life's journey together, sharing with each other in the joys and sorrows which checker the lives of all, but on the 8thof May, 1901, they were separated by the hand of death, the mother being called to her final rest from the old White river farm.

Amanda Wilson, a girl, sister of the above named aged about 8 years - has neither father or mother The undersigned further suggests that as the here named boys are very [refractory?] in their habits with every prospect of being increased as they advance in years when they should become vicious and ungovernable. Wherefore as it appears making to have guardians or employers appointed for the foregoing named orphans, particularly the first, named from a feeling a regard for their future welfare, as entertained by the undersigned he suggests the propriety of being appointed Guardian or employer for said orphans or as non preferable to apprenticed the said orphans in manner and form as prescribed by the Civil Code of the State of Louisiana and for that purpose makes this as an application and as employer for the appointed therein named and as matter of [??] had better be done without delay as the expiration of Contract as aforesaid leaves them uncared for and destitute.

'''The Diary of William Whitteker'''
''Transcription from the Original Manuscript Housed in the Special Collection of the Archives of the State of West Virginia''
by Dolores Christophel D'Errico, 2007 FOREWORD I have used punctuation which was not present in the original manuscript in order to make it more easily readable. I have also used many modern day spellings which were not used in the original so these words would not be distracting. Some words which were inferred were inserted always using { }. Whenever regular parenthesis were used they had been used in the original. I hope these devices have helped to render more flow to the thoughts of the original writer, my Great Great Great Grandfather, William Whitteker. According to a penciled note in the files of the West Virginia State Archives,which was apparently written at the time, the book was found in a vacant lot, in the wet grass, by Mr. C. Hedrick, a member of The West Virginia Antiquarian and Historical Society of Charleston, West Virginia, in 1892. It stayed with this society until the establishment of the Archives of the State of West Virginia; and then it was turned over to them. It is still in their Special Collection; and may be seen there at any time. The book, which I believe was really an autobiography, has been transcribed twice before. However, it has never been published with a full transcription including the section of "Dreams" which appears in the beginning of the manuscript. I believe this section adds much flavor to the rest of the work; and, therefore, I include it. === The Diary of William Whitteker === It will be necessary to write a sort of preamble or preface to explain some incidents of my previous life. I was born in 1775 on the 14th day of January, Princeton, County of Worcester, State Massachusetts; and, myself the eldest of twelve children....and, my parents,although not professors of religion publicly, still they were more strict in the cultivation of good morals in the minds of their children than most professors are in these days. We were never allowed to break the Sabbath by play or going out after nuts or berries of any kind for they used to tell us it was wicked. If we did the bears might catch us and tear us to pieces as they did the 42 in Elisha's time. They would always take us to church or meeting when we could go, or read the Bible or some good book. My father never prayed in his family in my hearing but always asked a blessing before meals; and returned thanks after. On every Sabath we children used to sit around Father or Mother while they taught the shorter catechism until we got them all by heart. Thus they took all the care they were capable of to sew the good seed in the minds of their young children; and that instruction I have never forgotten, although 60 or 70 years ago. At 14 years old I read all the Bible through from the beginning to end and a great part of it many times since. Thus I was brought up (as the Yankees call it---Virginias say raised up) until I was 20 years old with very little schooling. I barely had from work to learn to read and write and cypher as far as the rule of three. I read many books of a library in the town by firelight I had at night for I had no other time to read, which improved my reading. We lived on a small farm. My father was a carpenter by trade. With him I learned to be half a carpenter and a farmer. At 20 years old, with a good deal of persuasion, I obtained my father's consent to let me go to Boston to work, which I did in April 1795. I hired myself to a man to work at the carpenter's trade who employed a number of young men like myself. They had among them a small book called Tom Paine's "Age of Reason" which said that the Virgin Mary was a W----E and that Jesus Christ was a bastard and that the Christian religion was all priest craft. And, I so foolish and ignorant, was very willing to believe it and keeping such company confirmed me in my infidelity for 2 years while I worked in Boston, five years on the ocean, five years on the lakes and river, and so on until in 1816, making in all over 21 years I lived an infidel. The following dream was the cure of my infidelity. Some time in the fall of the year 1816, I started from Charleston, Virginia for Zanesville, Ohio to attend to the sales of some salt which I had sent there. And, riding through the woods from the 13 Mile Creek to distant falls 15 miles without a house in this lonesome road, my mind became serously effected about my past life and what were my prospects for the future in this world and in that which was to come beyond the grave. Well, as I rode along I imagined I saw a cornfield of 3 or 4 acres. I could only see here and there a few small stunted yellow stalks of corn with a few little sharp pointed ears about as long as my finger which were hardly visible owing to the quantity of briers, thorns, and in- numerable other weeds that had sprung up and had choked the growth of the corn. This field I compared to myself. The corn was the good seed which was sewn in my young days by my parents. But, these ill weeds of infidelity had been growing for 21 years and had nearly ruined all the good seed. My serious thoughts increasing as I rode along. At night put up in the Belle Price at the usual place for staying at night. {Here the page was torn diagonally as though there had been a large dog-ear to it which had disintegrated and the words were as follows.} When I and said...(Lord this Demon) for he heard me and moment for this above hardly out of my the devil dropped his arms by slank away backward to from he came...might not the Lord sent the same guardian Angel to deliver me although I saw him not that saved my life from the powers of darkness years before when away at sea in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean 1000 miles from any land...there is something to think about...what in all this world is poor mortal man to be delifered from but Devils...there would have been no Christ to destroy the works of the Devil in that case there would have been no Christians if there had never been any devils to destroy us. But all these things are the wonderful works of God that poor mortal man knows nothing about in this world. 34th Psalm, 7 verse, "The Angel of the Lord encapeth round about them that fear him and delivereth them." Hebrews 1, 14th verse, "Are they not all ministering ...drits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation." When I awoke from the dream I was laying on my bed, tears of joy streaming from my eyes. The long neglected Saviour had sent his Angel and delivered me the second time from the powers of Darkness. From that time my faith in Christ has been fully confirmed and established and I can never doubt again. In 1817 myself and my wife were baptized and joined the Presbyterian Church by the Rev. Henry Ruffner who was the first Presbyterian Minister in this town and organized the first church in Charleston, who also baptized all our children. Oh the wonderful goodness and mercy of God towards myself, my wife, and all our children that we should be drawn by his spirit to accept that grace, so freely offered to us in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and take upon us his everlasting covenenant of Salvation....which is the Blood of Christ made known to us in his gospel; and, may we all have grace even unto us to life as becomes it...and to dwell together in unity and Godly love....and, may a spirit of meekness, quietness, and peace be the friut of our daily worship, walk, and conversation, so that when we are called to appear before the judgement seat of Christ we shall not be confounded. Another Dream in 1834 I dreamed that the day of Judgement was come. I was standing close before the Academy in Charleston...and the Last Trumpet beginning to sound, and every sound waxed louder and louder than a thousand thunders which shook the earth as though it was going to drop to pieces. The ground under my feet was in such motion that I could not stand without holding myself up by something. I thought I was not prepared for Judgement. I tried to pray but all I could think of to say was the first verse in the 103rd Psalm "Bless the Lord all my Soul and all that is within me Bless His Holy Name." This I continued to repeat and the Tumpet still sounding. I saw the Judge descending, sitting on a cloud or pillow of fire which appeared about as large as a four acre lot; and, all around this pillow of fire was something like latticework to prevent the full force of the blaze of it from striking the eyes of mortals for no man could have beheld the full force of the brightness and lived. As it drew nearer the intense brightness faded away and when it came close to me, the Judge came down out of the car of fire and walked up to me and shook hands with me as a friend and showed me the print of the Nails in each hand by which he was crucified. I felt of the scars which were healed over. By the scars the nails must have been 3/8 of an inch wide and half as thick and the callous raised about 1/8 of an inch above the surface of the hand on the inside. He was about six feet in stature, stout made. I awaked as usual after dreams and saw no one.... Wm. Whittker {signature} A Dream at Burlington, Iowa 1846, month of March I dreamed that I had some hay laying in windrows over a small branch of water which I was to haul on the shores. I called on my sons, Norris and William F., to get pitchforks and help me. They were there with their forks immediately. My son, Henry, came also, who had been dead for 17 months, and stood between the other two sons with something like a new spade. I said, Henry, you must get a fork; you can't pitch hay with a spade. He went away and returned with something resembling a fork; but, still there was the resemblance of a spade halfway up the tines of the fork. I thought then that Henry had come to dig his mother's grave ....or mine. We returned home to Charleston and on the 21st of June 1846, my wife, his mother, died. The foregoing are all the Dreams that I could never forget. (Here is a fragment of the Diary, probably belonging to this section of Dreams and appears to be a dream which Wm. had when he was sick with the Small Pox on the second China voyage.) hold of each arm stretched out tight and fast and two others of them one hold of each leg thus I was fixed immovable while the old Devil, who had said that these creatures could not hurt me, raised up a great broad axe to cut off my head. Just as the axe was about to descend. that critical moment, a light as white as snow shined into the room the Devils were gone, in a moment I saw them no more. I turned my eyes toward the door from which the light came. I saw the shape of a man just passing the door. I saw all his body except his face which was just past the door. He was enveloped in a robe of light as white as snow and so transparent that his body was plainly seen through it. It was all around him and trailed 10 feet behind him. I expect that this was about the turn of the Small Pox for I began to get better every day after this. A song often sung by sailors is..... " There's a sweet little cherub that sits up aloft that keeps watch for the life of poor Jack." Although this happened 48 years ago, it is more fresh in my mind now than it was at that time. In my subsequent life, it has been more strongly impressed on my mind that this was a Guardian Angel...and that the Lord was leading me in the way I knew not....for had those Devils, the powers of Darkness, been permitted to take my life at that time....Hell must have been my portion forever ....for I was an infidel at that time and a blaspheming swearing wretch. Nothing was too bad for me to speak as was then the common habit of sailors. the next dream I have to record was 17 years after the foregoing one, which was a complete cure for my infidelity or unbelief in Christ, to be the Savior of the World, which was from 1795 to 1816, 21 years. {Here ends the fragment and the section on Dreams.} Here follows a memorandum of the wanderings and ramblings of William Whitteker of Princeton, County of Worcester, State of Massachusetts, for 11 years of his life from 1795 to 1806 by sea and land, rivers and lakes, and number of miles traveled on each voyage and journey. In April 1795 I went to Boston to work at the carpenters trade. Here I continued to work summers, spring, and fall for near two years; but, spent the winters in Princeton with my parents and the family. Distance travelling up and down 6 times - 300 miles. 1797, on February 15th, I took a notion, as most all the Yankees do when they start off anywhere. Well, I took the stage to Providence Rhode on my route to Philadelphia (45 miles). Here, I took a packet to Newport (30 mi), here I was detained for 10 days waiting for a passage to Philadelphia. At last worked my passage on board of the ship called "The Arab" of Philadelphia. (385 mi) Here I stayed 10 days on board before she sailed, March 2nd, with a fair wind and weather all day. At night the wind beginning to blow a gale from the south. Called all hands, reefed top sails, wind right ahead and a rough sea agoing. I never having been at sea before, I was dreadful seasick, you may be sure. I wished myself at home and I thought to myself that I would rather live on shore on bread and water than be at sea an hour again. March 3rd - called all hands to take in sail, it blowing gale from Northwest. The Captain sent me down in steerage to strike a light. I had almost as soon the ship had gone to the bottom as to move. Let fly from my mouth a stream a fathom long. Some of the sailors laughed and some cursed me said "Damn your eyes, you boogar, go on deck and spew." I weathered away upon it for four or five days before I got well of my seasickness. 385 from Newport to Phila. distance 600 Total: 985 I lived in a cabin with the Captain, and having no cook on board, I cooked for the Captain and ate and slept in his stateroom. Not called to keep watch at night. A greenhorne like me would have been of no use on deck at night. This passage has been an exceeding cold with continued gales from the Northwest. March 9th got a pilot and the 10th arrived at Philadelphia. I went insearch of my relatives, found Norris Standley. His wife a sort of cousin of mine with whom I boarded when in Philadelphia. While here I went to Navigation School four weeks. Not withstanding all the dreadful seasickness, cold weather, and gales of wind which I experienced in coming to Philadelphia, I now came to the determination to make a voyage to China. The new and beautiful ship "New Jersey" was just about shipping her hands for the voyage. I crowded in among the rest and put my name down, too, as carpenter's mate for Canton in China, on the ship "New Jersey" of Philadelphia, George Clay, master, with three super cargoes and two mates with one doctor, boatswain, carpenter, and one sailmaker, 12 hands before the mast or old sailors, with steward, cook, and boys making in all 34 for the whole ship's company. {Note: I researched Norris Stanley and found he and his brother were both sea captains. He probably filled William's head with stories of sea adventures while he was there.} 25th to 28th, all hands employed in bending sails and cables and getting ships stores on board and filling water casks and taking on board 18 tons of gin and $200,000 in specie for the voyage. 29th, the pilot came on board got ship under weigh and dropped her down to Glocester Point three miles lay all night. 30th, got under weigh and ran down to New Castle came to anchor, lay here three days, took in livestock for the voyage. May 3rd, sailed again for the capes with a fair wind. May 6th, left the capes of the Delaware, set the pilot ashore at 6 pm Cape Henlopen, bore WNW 7 or 8 leagues. May 20th, second mate and the carpenter, a six foot red headed Scotsman fell out which brought the Captain and the super cargoes on deck at 11 O'clock sprung the fore and main top gallant masts, called all hands to clear the wreck. May 26th, we crossed the Equatorial Line. A pleasant voyage so far. The Captain, Officers, and Super Cargoes, never having crossed the line before, would not permit the usual ceremony of shoving and ducking, as they always begin with them first; but, they sent plenty of grog to the old sea dogs which satisfied them. June 18th, 47 days since we left Cape Henlopen...the Captain put all hands on an allowance of water, two quarts per day, and not half passage yet. Friday is the day we have to wash and mend our clothes. Saturday is always the day to scrub and clean ship and sprinkle with vinegar the cabin midships and the forecastle below deck. Ship fare and stores for every day in the week: Monday; beef and bread, Tuesday; beef and potatoes, Wednesday; pork and beans, Thursday; pork or beef and sauerkraut, Friday; pork and bread, Saturday; bread beef and potatoes if we have any, Sunday; on Sunday we always have sea pie (ashore called pot-pie) if we have any fresh meat to make one, if not the cook makes a large flour pudding mixed with clam slush on top of the pot saved from boiling beef and pork. With this he mixes his crust for the sea pie. We also have corn meal mush twice a week for breakfast, about a gallon and a half of molasses for six in a mess. This is put in the kid (some thing in the shape of keeler) and a pint of molasses poured in the center, each one sitting with his iron spoon helps himself as suits him best. June 29th, up with the Cape of Good Hope, middle winter here and very cold weather and heavy gales. July 13th, 70 days from Cape Henlopen, saw the island of St. Paul's, a small barren island of rock. We ran within one mile of it. We could only see a few shrubs growing on it. July 16th, this day a distressing and melancholy accident happened to us. This day Mr. Gordon, the chief mate, fell overboard and lost after every exertion was made that could be made to save him. The jollyboat was sent for him; but could not find him. Suppose some shark may have caught him and took under. The ship was running 8 miles per hour at the time round her, too, with all sails set, carrying away many small spars. July 18th, carried away our main top mast and mizen top mast at 7 pm called all hands to clear the wreck. In the morning got new masts up and sails set. July 29th, this day got around Java Head into the straits of Sunda. Here we had to keep the lead always going. In all this strait sounding five to twenty fathoms. July 30th, running near a small Dutch station on Java Island there came off to us as we lay at anchor, 7 Malay prows with a Dutchman in each, otherwise they would not have been allowed to come nigh us. We carry our guns to defend ourselves from these savages. We saw at least 100 other boats in sight. The boats made fast to us had turtle of which the Captain bought 11 for $15 weighing from 50 to 100 pounds each. We had turtle soup all the way to Canton. Besides, these Indians had fowls, monkeys, fish, bananas, oranges, eggs, and sugar. These savages are about the size and color of American Indians. Aug 4th, left the straits of Banca and now in the China Seas. Aug 14th, we got into the Mecca Roads, the pilot came on board and took us up to Boga Minor. Here two Mandarins came on board with a pass for the ship and another pilot for Wampoo. Arrived safe and moored ship. Distance of passage 20,000 miles. 20,985 mi Here we lay for three months or nearly. Here our ship was stripped and overhauled and rigging and sail repaired for starting home while the carpenter and myself, his mate, overhauled and caulked all the upper works, sides, and decks of the ship. Now began to take in cargo of teas of all kinds and China ware with Nankeen Silk and a few boxes of pulverized loaf sugar and some of rhubarb. This was our homeward cargo. While here all hands were allowed three days to Canton to make their little trades. Lack of money made them very small. I went up a number of times with the Captain and Super Cargoes to help pull the pinnace, the Captain's boat of six oars, with our stars and stripes flying. All shipping lay at Wampoo, sixteen miles from Canton, not allowed to go any higher. Nov 10th, this morning the Chow Chow Chop or the last of the 14 Chop loads which completed our cargo. Caulked down the hatches. The super cargoes came on board with the pilots, got our ship under weigh for home. Nov 12th, set the pilot ashore at Macao and left with a fresh breeze to cross the China Seas. The winds called the Monsoons having changed to the Northwest in October. The winds in the China Seas and Straits of Banca and Sunda and the Indian Ocean always blow from October to April from N.E. and from April to October from S.W. However, it has been observed that about one month before the change of these winds these seas are subject to storms and hurricanes. Nov 20th, made the straits of Caspa. The Captain preferred these straits to Banca to keep out of the way of cruisers. The island of Sumatra makes one side of all these straits. Nov 24th, got into the straits of Sunda. Passed these straits and got into the Indian Ocean. Dec 26th, saw the isle of Borbon whose form is like great hay stack. We saw it 120 miles by the run of our ship. When abreast of it we could see the clouds strike one third or one half way up divide and go around on either side. There appeared to be low table land around the bottom of this mountain where the coffee is raised. Jan 3rd, saw the Cape of Good Hope, distance 10 leagues. Coming on to blow a gale, took all the sail except the main and main staysail. Laid the ship to four days. When it cleared up saw the Cape of Good Hope again and left with a fair wind; 61 days from China. Feb 15th, 96 days from China; expected to be home in a few days. At daylight, this morning, we saw a sail ahead. Standing toward us she hauled her wind and ran to winward of us. She hoisted French Colors and fired three guns with round shot and grape, which by good luck hit the water and did not reach us. She hailed us in broken English and ordered us to send our boat aboard of his brig. The Captain sent the first mate and four hands, which to our surprise, returned with six Frenchmen and a Prizemaster. They continued exchanging until they got 23 of us on board the Privateer then said we were their prize; then bore away for Puerto Rico, a Spanish Island. She was a brig of 16 guns with 100 men, Spaniards and French and Creole. The same night the French called us all aft and said if we behaved well he would treat us as well as his own Pape; but, if we made any disturbance; "By God, we cut you to pieces." So, we told him we would behave ourselves. They turned all down in the hold at night with strong guard at the hatchway, to sleep on the ballast stone and other rubbish. Thus we fared three days and nights. Feb 16th, close in with the land saw the harbor of St. Johns Puerto Rico. At 10 came to anchor in the harbor here. They kept us til March 7th aboard the Privateer. Our fare for eating was poor in the extreme. It was tripe and chittlins and any kind of offal meat that was to be had in the market. Sometimes black eyed peas and bread of which we had a small allowance and in addition to this they stole all our clothing except what we happened to have on our backs. All the clothes I had left me to wear at this time was one flannel shirt, one pea jacket, one tarpolin hat covered with tarred canvas, and one pair of old trousers with canvas patch on behind and down the fore part of the legs nearly all the way and barefoot. This was all my wardrobe. Mar 8th, went ashore for the first time in this place. No one belonging to the ship was allowed to go off the vessel or ashore. The ship's hatches were all sealed down by the French Consul the next day after we came into port so we could get none of our clothes that might be left out of the ship. Well, could not help but think this was hard times for poor Jack's first voyage. Two of the super cargoes of our ship were ashore. They spoke to four of us that were ashore together; if we were willing to take a trip to Santo Domingo to see how the trial of the ship was coming on, to which we were all agreed. They hired a six man open boat with two small masts and sails. We made ready. Mar 9th, at nine at night, after the city gates were shut, having everything except water, we all went privately into the boat having in our care muffled in the rowlocks that we could row without making the least noise for we had to go close by the Privateer that took us for they would not allow anyone belonging to our ship to go to Santo Domingo to attend the trial of our ship; the reason we had to steal away. Well, so we started with a boat with two Spaniards ahead to pilot us out of the harbor. Seven of us in number; one a Frenchman who had been taken, as we were in like situation. We rode silently on until we cleared the harbor and then discharged our pilots. Got about 3 miles at 11 O'clock made sail. We found ourselves clear of the harbor and forts. We continued to run along down the land all night with a light land wind, for the wind always blows off the land at night. The NE sea breeze set in at 9 or 10 in the morning and blew all day. Mar 10th, In the morning at daylight we found we had run about 20 miles from the city. We heard several guns at the city. Being calm we were obliged to row 4 hours. when the sea breeze set in we had as much wind as we could carry sail to and at 6 pm were down to the West end of the island. We hoisted French Colors and put French Cockades in our hats. We run in here to a place called Aquadilla, belonging to Spain; but, at this time the French had control of all these seaport towns of this island. We run in here to get water for the rest of our voyage which is 310 miles. Our Frenchman, that they might not suspect our business, told them he was a prizemaster of an American Brig and was going to Santo Domingo for the trial. He could speak good English, French, and Spanish. We filled two bags of water and laid in such other stores as we could get which were small and sailed again at 8 O'clock p.m. with a clear sky and fair wind. To cross the Mona Passage, 200 miles wide between the islands of Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo in our little open boat, we had only a compass to steer by. No light, we had to light a cigar to look at the compass then take a star to steer by to keep the right course. Mar 11th, saw the Island of Mona halfway across. There being a heavy sea going and calm we were obliged to row half this day to keep sea from setting us on the island; the shore lined with high rocks. At 7 O'clock at night it began to look very black and dark to North of us. At 10 began to rain and blow like a hurricane. Myself being at the helm, kept the boat away right before the wind and the others took in all sail and we scudded under bare poles until 11 O'clock . The sea running very high and began to come with whitecaps. We expected every moment when they would break into our little open boat and send us all to Old Davy Jones' Locker, which lays at the bottom of the ocean. We took reef in the foresail and set as much sail as we could to keep the boat ahead out of the way of the sea that was breaking behind us. In about an hour the wind died away calm and we were safe. It rained very very hard most all night with the rain and breaking of the sea into us kept two hands constantly bailing during the storm and rain. Mar 12th, saw the East end of Santo Domingo. Being calm rowed quarter part of this day and night and run outside of the island of Siona which lies on the SE point of Santo Domingo; when had we known we might have run inside sound 10 miles. Continued to run along shore but we lay three hours this night for fear we should run past the harbor, when we were not within 60 miles of it. Mar 13th, this day we continued to run down shore with a fine breeze. Our provisions getting short, we only had one biscuit per man this 24 hours. We had a little water left and some gin and a small piece of cheese. Mar 14th, this morning we divided our stock of provisions; three biscuits for four of us for this 24 hours. A little water left yet and no sign of Santo Domingo yet. At 6 am spoke with a Spanish fisherman at anchor near shore who gave us part of a baked fish and three cakes of kisada bread which was thankfully received. Who told us it was 10 leagues to Santo Domingo. And being calm most of this day and night we had to row and raining very hard most of the day. At 6 pm saw the city of Santo Domingo distant 4 leagues. Here we were suddenly surprised by a grampus that jumped out of the water not half our boat's length from us. Had he fallen on us would have dashed our boat to pieces and us all have gone down with it. The grampus I think are a small whale. We have so far been preserved by a kind providence on this perilous journey. At 11 at night saw the lights in the city. Pulled into the harbor unperceived by the guard it being very dark and at 12 O'clock we got alongside of a schooner of Boston. Here we met a kind reception and they happened to have left from their last meal kid of pork and beans with bread on which we supped and nothing ever tasted so good before or since, for I never was so hungry and tired before. After supper, myself and one hand went and slept on the stern sheets in our boat, making an awning with one sail spread over a boom. There was left in the stern locker by the officers a bottle of good old Madeira wine; we divided that between us. We laid down and slept soundly until morning. When we waked up a Spanish officer of the guard house was standing over us cursing very hard in Spanish, being a strange boat and not knowing how it came there. However, the French Captain settled the business with him. Mar 15th, we lived on board this vessel one week when she sailed for another port on this island. Mar 22nd, the super cargoes put us on board the schooner Friendship of Boston. Here we lived 14 days in idleness and discontent waiting to hear the fate of our ship but could get nothing but put off and delays. Apr 3rd, by this time the Friendship sailed for Boston and then they put us on board of the schooner Orange of Boston. Here we remained until the 13th when the schooner Swift arrived from Philadelphia, dispatched by the owners of our ship to carry on the trial of the ship, likewise brought an American Consul for the city of Santo Domingo. Here we continued two months and no news about the ship's trial. A ship taken and brought in here from Charleston, South Carolina laden with rice bound to England and condemned. As I had no employment I worked on board of her one month at $20 per month to get me some clothes as I was hard run for that article; and cigars for I smoked 25 per day when to be had. June 24th, I heard some news that our ship was condemned. I applied immediately to the super cargoes to let me go back to Puerto Rico to which they unwillingly consented. What made us more anxious, we expect the ship hatches would be opened and the French rascals would steal what few things we had left. We got a pass from the French Consul to Puerto Rico. They gave a protection and $10 a piece for two only of us to bear our expenses. One Captain Work went along with us. We made him our guardian; he being better acquainted with men and things than we. So, we took passage in Spanish launch or small schooner. Three of us with nine Spaniards and sailed about dark and run up the island breeze all night. June 26th, this day a fresh breeze right ahead. We were obliged to beat all day, at night come to anchor close in shore and lay all night. In the morning got under way and come to again in the passage between the little Siona Island and the mainland of Santo Domingo. Here we lay for two days. Sailed again and got clear of this passage, light wind and fair weather. June 30th, fair weather at 12 O'clock. Come to anchor under the lea of Mona Island. Myself and six others went on shore to see if we could find any game but could........{missing}. Traveled all the way near the sea shore past a little town called Miaguine. Here lay several vessels, three of them American prizes brought in here by French Privateers. Put up this night at good natured Spaniard's who gave us good supper and lodging for our horses. July 5th, prepared to start before daylight but the good Spaniard was up before us and would let us go until we had taken a cup of coffee, some fricased chicken and rice, and then refused to receive any pay for all his trouble. Had a beautiful little son playing round us. I gave him a dollar and said adieu, Seignor and we set out for Aquadilla. This is the town we stopped at when going down in the boat. Past this town proceeded on our way over hills and mountains and rivers. A rough road and only a foot path all the way. Saw coffee growing spontaneous along the road and the hill and mountainsides yellow with the sour orange. This night the house of a priest brought us up. We entered the house and asked for supper and lodging; they said yes. We called for some milk which was soon brought; but we concluded they had made it half water. Here we lay all night on a dirty floor with plenty of fleas. At daybreak we ordered our guides to get our horses. We all started without saying Adieu Senora to our landlady. July 6th, this day fair weather, a rough road over hills and mountains for 15 miles without a house. One high mountain, the path run up in a serpentine form, say two miles. Here we met 100 Spanish soldiers who were very polite, saying as we passed Adieu Senor. Ferryed some rivers by canoe this day. Stopped at night at mean old house. We were obliged to lay in a sort of poor old hammock wove in cane marshes like fish net. I slept as uneasy as if we had been in from all night. We set out this morning before daybreak for St. Johns where our ship lay. We arrived at a river six miles from the city. Here hired a canoe to take us over for we had to cross the harbor to get to the city. At 2 pm arrived at the city; our ship still lying safe moored. Here I found about half my old ship mates. The others, some had gone home, one or two bad wild boys had gone on board French Privateers, and one had got his head shot off. We all went on shore and bought a bottle of wine together. In my long absence all the ship's company that remained were put by the French on board of an old hulk of a ship laying in the harbor about a mile from shore with the liberty to go ashore every morning to draw our rations, which were some meat and bread and a bottle of rum to each mess in lieu of coffee. This old ship we used to call our prison ship but we could go ashore when we pleased in the day time. But we had no money to spend and hardly clothes to wear. Sometimes we could get work for a day or two to raise a little for cigars and tobacco to chew. At this time I smoked my two dozen per day when they could be had. I drank no spirits at all. By this I believe is one cause of my having good health; while the rum drunken were dying of yellow fever like rotten sheep all around me. But how soon my time may come to go, too, God only knows. My times are always in his hands and there I always leave them and they will be safe always there. July 9th, the prize master of our ship opened the hatches to give the people their clothes; but I believe their chief object was to plunder us of the best of our clothes which they did overhauling every man's chest and took everything of any value. We some of us got work at $1 per day for near a month on board the ship Ocean, which was a great help to buy me clothes and cigars in my destitute situation. Aug 13th, Mr. Gibson, the super cargo arrived from Santo Domingo who said the ship and cargo was condemned as a lawful prize and they had bought her in again. Then we took possession of our ship; but our captors threatened to burn the ship as she had been condemned for the benefit of the French Republic alone and no share for them. For our safety the Governor sent a guard of ten soldiers on board to guard the ship. Aug 19th, all hands went on board, went to work, and got her nearly ready for sea when the French Consul come on board and ordered us all out of the ship again; and took all the sails on shore, pretending they were afraid we would run away with the ship some night. We had to watch night and day and sing out every half hour all is well, the ten soldiers still on board, for the French rascals still threatened to burn or cut her adrift. The Captain hired a house ashore for us to live in until the business was further settled. Aug 27th, early this morning, Mr. Gibson, the super cargo, sent for me by the second mate that I must come to his lodgings, which I did. He asked me if I willing to go to Santo Domingo again. I said yes I was willing to do all I could for the ship. He said he wanted me to go with a dispatch to the ship agent there this afternoon. Said he, there's a schooner going will get you to go and bespeak passage. I did so. Returned told Mr. Gibson and made ready and let no one know where I was going. I then repaired to the place appointed, received his letters, wrapped them in my handkerchief and tied round me under my old flannel shirt; sailed at sunset. The third day after, arrived at Santo Domingo. Went directly on shore and delivered my package to the ship's agent as directed. Went on board the Swift, my old place of residence. Very sickly at this place with yellow fever and vomit. Sep 9th, Dr. Stevens, the agent, sent for me again who told me he wanted me to return to Puerto Rico with some letters to Mr. Gibson, the super cargo. Sep 10th, at night sailed in a Spanish schooner with two hands for our ship and 20 Spaniards and Frenchmen on board. Sep 12th, this morning saw three English ships of war at anchor under the west end of Siona Island. And our poor Spaniard, afraid, put back behind a neck of land out of sight of the enemy and lay all day. At night got under way and stood to the 3rd day come to Aquadilla harbor. Lay one day, sailed again and after beating to windward two days they come to anchor close in shore at a little town called Auricus, thirty-six miles short of our journey's end. Here we could get no horses; were obliged to walk the rest of the way without a guide. After traveling 20 miles, there being many cross paths, we missed our way and come out on the sea shore and night coming on and three miles from any house, we concluded to make our bed in the dry sea sand. We burrowed in it as well as we could to protect us some from the swarms of mosquitoes and other insects. One of us keeping watch by turns while the other sleeps. In the morning a Spaniard come along and put us in the right path with directions. We marched on the first house we come to. Was one I stopped at on the other trip by land. Here we got our breakfasts. Set out again arrived at St. Johns and our ship at 12 O'clock September 30th. Delivered my letters to Captain Clay of our ship all safe. Distance run passage to Canton, etc. 20,985 mi Canton to Puerto Rico 20,000 2 trip St. Johns to Santo Domingo 1,800 Total 42,785 miles Nov 19th and having got possession of our ship again, we made ready for sea and home again. The schooner Swift arrived from Santo Domingo with arms and ammunition. We now mounted twelve six pounders and two twelve pounders and other arms in proportion and 69 men of all grades with a determination to defend ourselves in case of attack. Nov 20th weighed our anchor at 6 pm and set sail once more for the United States with the schooner Swift, with fine weather for 3 or 4 days and then head winds blowing a gale from the NW. Dec 5th, we made the land to the south of Cape Hateras with hard storms. Next day saw many small vessels in shore of us but no pilot. At night we saw Cape Henlopen light house. At night fired guns and hoisted a lantern at the main top gallant masthead but no pilot. Cold rain and hail from the southeast all night. Laying off and on for a pilot. Dec 7th, as we were running about six miles from shore south of the Delaware Capes, at 6 pm our ship struck on Chincotiege shoals. And, heavy sea running, she struck so hard that it broke and carried away our rudder hinges and chains. All gone but 8 or 9 feet at the upper end. After thumping 15 minutes we wore ship by the sails and cleared the shoal without any other damage. We were obliged to steer the ship by the sails all night and the carpenter and myself, his mate, made a new rudder by splicing a spar to the head of the old one and bolting spars together. This This artificial rudder was hung by 8 O'clock in the morning by working all night. I thought I never felt such cold weather before, having been so long in the West Indies and no winter clothes. After this, we were beating off the capes against the hardest gales from the North West and cold. Can't tell how cold it was. Still at night firing a gun every half hour with a lantern and no pilot yet. Dec 11th, beating into the mouth of the bay at 6 am, by the bad look out of the mate, close under Cape Henlopen lighthouse, we struck on the shoal called The Old Hen and Chickens, a very dangerous place. Here we expected to see our ship lost, but it happened to be low tide and the wind off shore; and heaving many things overboard we hove off by anchor and cable. After thumping four hours here a pilot came on board. Once more made sail for home; the wind coming cold and hard ahead from NW. In heading up the bay, the pilot plumped the ship in the mud on Bombahook Bar. Here we lay five days and the sea running thick and hard, made a bank as the ship on the upper side creaned her half over. We discharged half the cargo into lighters. At last, in the night, in a cold NE snow storm, hove her off. In the morning run up to Reedy Island Piers through fields of ice. Could get no farther. Made fast behind the piers, secure from ice; and lay there five weeks, a long time for us. 1798 42,785 mi Jan 15th (1799), the river got pretty clear of ice. Unmoored from the piers and sailed up the river on the 16th, there coming down fields of ice. Coming down so strong and heavy, cut our cables in two. 17th, run into the pier at Marcus Hook and moored the ship again. Laid here 10 days; then sailed again for Philadelphia where we at last arrived safe after a voyage of 21 months and eight days. Where the generous merchants paid all hands that stayed with the ship their wages for the whole voyage, according to their word. Thus ends my first voyage to sea. Distance from Puerto Rico home 2,500 April 26th, 1799, I now determined to take another voyage to China; and, as the ship wanted a great many repairs, I went to work on board of her with the ship carpenter. I worked 38 days at $2 per day for which I received $ 76 wages last voyage 340 Received by cash 416 Paid out on voyage for clothing & sundries 48 on hand for this voyage $368 Distance 45,285 mi 1799 Philadelphia May 9th, I shipped on board of the ship New Jersey for a second voyage to Canton in China and direct back again at twenty-four dollars per month as carpenter's mate. On the 13th, sailed with four hundred dollars as a venture, as sailors call it, from my saving from last voyage. With money earned while repairing ship and advance pay when I shipped for this voyage, besides paying for my board while ashore and some clothing for the voyage. Our ship sails this voyage as a Lettremark, mounting 14 guns, 12-6s and 2-12 pounders, 6 swivels, 10 blunderbuses, 50 muskets, 2 dozen of boarding pikes; and ammunition with 50 men, Captain John Rosseter with two Irish mates. May 18th, sailed from New Castle down the river and bay beating down with wind ahead. 20th, put the pilot ashore and left Capes once more for China. May 22, I was taken with a violent pain in my back and bones and sore all over. The doctor gave me a dose of salts. May 23rd, still a pain in my back and bones. The doctor sent me some boiled chicken and soup and gave me a dose of cream of tartar. May 24th, the doctor came down to me, as I lay in my hammock, I felt rather worse. He bled me; took about 12 ounces of blood. Very painful night of it last night. May 25th, I had a breaking out all over my body. I showed it to the doctor. He said it was the Small Pox and gave me another dose of salts; and, said that it was well for me that he bled me. I went on deck; stayed for most of the day. May 26th, the doctor looked at me, said he thought the pox was coming out very well; and, if I took care of myself, I would have it favorable. May 27th, the Captain ordered me not to come on deck again as there were some of the hands that had never had the Small Pox. I now thought that I should have a long, tedious time of it below in my hammock. It called into exercise all my patience. The good doctor paid every attention to me that was necessary. By his advice, washed my eyes every half hour with water to prevent the pox from affecting them. My feet were very sore. Having gone barefoot so much the other voyage, the skin on the bottom of my feet was thick as leather. The pox could not break through it. It was obliged to come all off whole. They felt like a hot iron was held to them for three days. The doctor had to lance them to let the matter out. My medicine at this time was a spoonful of salts and molasses every two hours. And my diet mush and molasses and boiled rice; sometimes chicken broth by the doctor's orders, crackers and preserves when I could get them. Thus I worried along for four or five weeks, so weak that I could hardly move in my hammock. Is a blessed thing that I had a hammock. Had I been in a berth, the roll of the ship would have torn all the skin off me. Some account of this in my first dream written this book. Once writing it in the same book is enough. June 24th, came on deck for the first time for 4 weeks. Feel very hearty, but so weak I can hardly stand, little more than skin and bones. My feet dreadful sore; not able to bear any weight on them, the skin entirely off. The doctor put plasters many days. Almost obliged to creep on my hands and knees. June 29th, crossed the equinoctial line. July 1st, began to work today. All well this passage of our ship to Canton. The route same as the other voyage. We arrived October 2nd at Wampoo in China and moored our ship. 45,285 20,000 Total miles 65,285 Oct 3rd, Captain and super cargoes went up to Canton to live while the ship stays to lay in the cargo for home, which was teas, nankeens, and chinaware; and silks and rhubarb. This was done while all hands were overhauling and repairing ship for passage home. And having laid out my money for things to sell when I get home again. And a set {of} China with my name on it for own use and other things. And the ship having all her cargo on board, we sailed November 24th from Wampoo, following the same route home as the last voyage (except to the West Indies). We arrived at Philadelphia April 2nd, 1800, all well. Distance run this passage 21,000 And with my wages this voyage and with the sales of all the things bought at Canton, made up the sum of $1,000 in specie to look at when I get home to my father after an absence of three years and a half. In all this time I never spent any money like fool in bad company. April 10th, took a trip to Baltimore by water in a schooner. Distance miles 500 To Washington City by stage 44 Returned to Baltimore 44 Baltimore to Philadelphia by sea 500 Total miles 87,373 1800 In May I sailed from Philadelphia for Boston in a schooner and arrived safe and by land to Princeton, my old native home, safe with a $1000, china, and some other curiosities which made some of the natives stare who had never been further from home than mill or to meeting. Now spent some time with my friends in Princeton and Boston. Distance 900 Total miles 88,273 Sometime in June sailed again in the ship Favorite of Boston for Malaga Spain up the straits of Gibralter with a cargo of Cod Fish for the Catholics to eat in Lent. And, in return, a cargo of wine, raisins, and figs and so forth for the Yankees to keep Thanksgiving with, as is customary with them. On our passage out, near the Banks of Newfoundland, when almost calm, we saw following our ship, close under our stern, a monster called by seamen the Sea Devil. With his back sometimes out of the water, he appeared to {be} 15 or 18 feet wide, 25 or 30 feet long, shaped much like our water turtles with a rough brown shell in shape and formed like a turtle on the back with fins and flipper in proportion to the size of his body. With two heads six feet apart of the form of the turtles, which would run out like the turtles or be drawn in under the shell. I saw this done, it would run out 3 or 4 feet. The diameter of the neck and head I should think was 12 or 15 inches and there were a great number of pilot fish just ahead of him and swimming each side of the heads. The pilot fish are the size of a blue catfish or three pounds and color and mouth like a sucker. They also go with the whale and many other large fish and by suction fasten themselves somehow to the sides of those big fish and suck when hungry then let go and play before them. This devil followed us one hour when a breeze sprang up and we left him; went on our voyage. When coming near the Straits of Gibralter saw many Spanish gunboats cruising in the straits and taking many Yankee vessels they can. As we drew near we saw one of those gunboats firing at a Yankee schooner from Maine. We bore down towards the gunboat gave her a gun and she run for the shore, supposing we were a ship of war for we showed 16 guns; but 10 were Quakers, wooden guns. Thus we saved the Yankees that time. We passed the straits, run up to Malaga, 60 miles, our place of destination. Here we lay six weeks discharging and taking in a cargo of wines, raisins, and figs, etc. Had to wait two weeks to sail with an English fleet and in protection of a frigate and a sloop of war; for two or three French Privateers were waiting to take us when we sailed. They said our ship would make an bon privateer. We sailed with the fleet and arrived safe in Boston in November. The whole distance out from home 7,000 mi Total miles 95,273 Brought home with me some wine, raisins, and figs and raisin grapes packed in sawdust in a {At this point there are several pages missing and the mile total picks up at a balance of 101,084 and the year 1803} 1803 101,084 and inch plank, enough for the bottom. Nailed them across the bottom in two days. My boat was made 20 feet long, 5 1/2 feet wide, and rigged with oars loaded. And, we started on Le Boef Lake which is one mile diameter; and got into the outlet about three rods wide. Shallow with sand bars, the water being very low, we had to wade and drag the little boat miles over these bars. At this time a big old Genowa Sailor was with us to help me along. Both of these men were happy to work their passage to get along for they had no money. They were first rate, especially the old sailor. We got into French Creek and running a rocky ugly shoal above Meadville bumped her on a stone and stove. Pulled the boat ashore unloaded. I went down to Meadville two miles. Bought me a large pine perogue, 50 feet long, 2 1/2 feet wide. Brought her up, loaded in my goods. Went safely next past the town of Franklin at the mouth of French Creek and proceeded down the Allegheny; this in October. Snowed for three days. A rough river to run. Arrived at Pittsburgh. Distance 206 Total miles 101,290 We have been 12 days from Le Boef here. Always camped by our boat overnight; the weather fair or foul, with a good fire. For we now left Pittsburgh for Gallipolis and made no stops to get some provisions. Arrived at Gallipolis from Pittsburgh 300. From here I wagoned my goods to Chillicothe and opened my little store in November. From Gallipolis to this is 62 miles. Here commenced the bearskin trade with me. In the course of the winter I must have rode to the hunters camps and cabins, they had no other houses in these times, rode in all 1,000. 1804, in the spring I rode into Kentucky on Licking River and high up on the Kentucky River. In five weeks I must have rode 700 {miles}. 1804 103,252 May 1st, bought a small flatboat in company with a John Dix of Boston. We concluded to return to Boston by way of New Orleans. Loaded in all our bear and deerskins and furs and began descend the Ohio at Gallipolis. Landed at Maysville and took in some bear and deer skins I had deposited there. Went on again and stopped a few hours at Cincinnati. Went to the falls here, got a pilot, run safe over the falls. Here I found my old Genowe Sailor again who went with me to Orleans. So, we proceeded on our journey without accident until we came near the mouth of the Arkansas River. We saw a storm coming up very fast. We were lashed to a flour boat that we might drift better. Especially with a head wind we unlashed as quick as possible and began to pull for the mouth of the Arkansas; but the storm before we got within half a mile of the shore caught us. The water run higher than our boats and they rolled so that no man could stand to row or steer on top of the boat. The flour boat filled and drifted down two miles; lodged under a snag. Our little boat, being an old family boat, the oars were all below. We made out to pull our boat to shore although we expected we would be lost for it blew a hurricane half an hour. We made out to land one mile below the mouth of the Arkansas. Here we lay two days assisting the flour boat to save her load. The third day we all started together again, saved nearly all her flour and boat. So, we drifted on again until we got to Natchez where we left her and went on our journey alone. Arrived in Orleans the 11th of June from Gallipolis here 1,700. June 22nd, shipped on board of a schooner for Boston where we arrived safe after a passage of 48 days. Distance run on this passage can't be less than 2,500. Sept 1st, Luther Willard and myself started from Boston for Chillicothe in Ohio on horseback, by the way of Albany, Buffalo, Prisque Isle, Pittsburgh, Zanesville and Lancaster to Chillicothe. Arrived first October. 105,752 mi Distance above 1,000 From here to Gallipolis 62 then up the river and crossed over to Point Pleasant, rode up the Big Kanawha to Charleston in search of bearskins for this was our business this trip..... Distance miles 66 Returned again to the point Gallipolis and to Chillicothe. Heretraveled through all this country. We spent the fall, winter, and spring in search of bear and deer skins at every hunter's camp and cabin that we could find. We have traveled in this time 2,000 May 15th, having collected all our skins to Gallipolis, we started for Boston in a keelboat to Pittsburgh arrived safe. 300 1805 (yr) Total Miles 108,938 Shipped our skins in a wagon again for Philadelphia. Walked with the wagons. John Noyes also walked with us. Sometimes we would get some miles ahead and stop at the wagon tavern and pitch a game of coits, smoke a few cigars, take something good to drink which was quite fashionable in those days. Thus we amused ourselves along the road to Philadelphia. Miles 300 Here again shipped our furs in a brig for Boston arrived safe. Miles 800 And here at my boarding house saw, for the first time (although myself 31 years old) the only woman in all this world God had given me for a wife and a poor widow with two children. The contract was made and consummated one year after. Luther Willard and myself started with a stack of goods for Gallipolis. Shipped on board of a brig to Baltimore. Brother, Levi Whitteker, was along for the first time. Arrived safe as I always have in all my journeys. Distance Miles 900 Then in wagons to Wheeling and walked ourselves with the wagons until within a few days when we went ahead to prepare............{past this point, pages missing} 1805 110,838 {Total} {New Page} 1806 112,928 { Balance } In the morning started again. Got this day up to Arbuckle's. Wife and I went up to the house and Arbuckle said, after the usual introduction, welcome to Mason, Madame. Here we were comfortable with good supper, lodging, and breakfast. In the morning they put us across Kanawha above the Sixteen Mile Creek. Wife and I walked up opposite Morris Reynolds at the mouth of the Eighteen Mile Creek. Here we stayed until the next day when Reynolds took horses and conveyed us to Benjamin Johnson, 4 miles. Here we stayed four days. Kept our Christmas with all the Maines. Here brother Levi met us with horses. 27th of December started and put up at Morris Hudsons. Old Mrs. Hudson was so good and so kind to my wife that she thought she had got where somebody lived again. 28th December 1806 started again the morning and arrived at Charleston at noon. Distance all this journey by sea and land - 11,600 Whole distance in 11 years travels on seas and rivers and lakes and by land - 114,528 Wm. Whitteker {signature} 1806, Dec 28th, myself and my wife at Daniel Ruffners. Here we stayed for two weeks in which time I bought the old log house and lot and went to house keeping. There we lived near 40 years until my wife died June 21st, 1846. {Note: The above journey was made while Philena, his wife, was in the last stages of pregnancy, their first son, Norris Stanley Whitteker, born in February 1807. Hereafter what is left of the manuscript deals with William's experiences in the salt making business; starting with the first experiments which were made drilling for salt water. Both sides of the Kanawha River had underground salt springs running along side and parallel to the river. William was the first to sink a well on the south side of the Kanawha. Here they made salt by boiling the water down and collecting the salt crystals which were left.} 1809 In the first place chiseled hole in the rock. Then made a tube by hollowing two pieces of wood then close them together and wrapped with bedcord; and then drove one end of it into the rock; and then filled the gum with the stiffest kind of clay mortar, say two feet and a half near to the top of the tube and pounded as mortar could be. But this would not do. And, then drove this mortar full of piles, 2 or 3 inches diameter, 2 1/2 feet long, sharpened at one end; so that the gum looked as though it was headed with piles. All this would not keep out the fresh water. I believe we bored the well in this situation 30 or 40 feet and got pretty good salt water. About this time, old Robert Johnston of Kentucky made some contract of rent with David and Joseph Ruffner, who brought with him a well auger with screw joints and poles with which he rimmed and bored this well down to 50 feet. At this time, Tobias Ruffner was preparing to sink another gum 50 yards below on the same bank of the river. He prepared his his gum by a fellow in his gum eight inches from the bottom; pinning it to the gum with such pins for the head of the gum to rest on which head was made of two pieces 4 or 5 inches thick made to fit the gum with nine inch round hole in each half head, one for the tubes and the other for the pump to keep the water down while putting down the tubes; and wedging round them to keep out all fresh water. Also, all round between the head and the gum. This is the only way ever been used for heading gums and this was the invention of and by Tobias Ruffner. In April I saw Joseph Ruffner take out his clay and pile head out of his gum and put in a head on Tobias Ruffner's plan. At this time I was persuaded by Charles Brown and some of his friends to undertake to sink a gum and bore for salt water on his land opposite to Ruffner's wells. And, to induce me to undertake, they told me many stories. Some said that they had seen the salt water boiling up through the crevices in the rock all the way across the river. And, that they had dived down and caught the salt water in their hands and tasted it. Finally, I concluded with myself that if the water was got by boring in the rock, it was likely to be on both sides of the river. I then made a contract with him, Charles Brown, for ten years at equal shares in the profits and loss. I then began to prepare to sink for salt water in place of sink in a gum. I thought I could sink a square frame down to the rock. Everything was so new to us at this time, we hardly tell what was best. My first experiment was to make a frame 4 1/2 feet square at the bottom and 4 feet at the top and 20 feet long, boarded up and down with strong seasoned plank. This done, we dug a hole for it as deep as we could for water. Raised it up and put in the hole over which 6 or 8 feet laid a pole resting on two forks. In the middle of this pole was fastened a block with a shieve for a rope to pass to hoist the water from the curb with a whiskey barrel with the upper head out and a square hole in the lower head. And, with a valve like a pump over the hole to fit tight it would fill as quick {as} could be. Sunk by a hole in the inside of the barrel and with a cord nailed to the upper side of the clipper so that when the barrel was upraise{d}, the valve with this cord, the barrel empty{ed} as quick as it filled. To raise this barrel I had a perpendicular shaft with a reel framed round itsix foot in diameter to which a rope was fixed that wound round this reel; that went through the block and shieve over the curb and down to the barrel. And, made fast and below the reel's lever went through shaft worked by two hands. A little more than once round would raise a barrel of water. Thus we could raise a barrel of water every two minutes. After all this experiment, we found that we could not sink the curb. Had to abandon it and get a gum at last. Cut our curb off as low down as we could. Raised the gum inside of it. Bored and made me a pump that I could do myself, having learned much about pumps on board a ship. Got my pump in the gum, the frame on the top to make weight to force the gum down as we cleared the sand and gravel from the bottom on the inside. We had 14 hands at the pump for 10 days. We used to choose sides every morning for who should work together. One side was called the Lighthouse, the other the Militia. Neither side could stand it to pump over 15 minutes before they called for relief. So we passed 10 days; myself made one hand in the gum all this time. We set the gum well down on the rock, put in the head and tubes on Tobias Ruffner's plan. Made the gum completely tight and commenced boring. Tobias had got his gum down before me and had borrowed the auger before me. I could not wait until he had done. I got two or three bars of small iron. Got Tobias to make an auger bit and weld it on the bar of iron and make a swivel for the upper end for the rope which was attached to the spring pole. With two hands to swing the pole for every stroke of the auger and myself sitting down in the gum on the head to turn the auger which was very dry; no water coming in to interfere. This was my first gum bored. We began to bore with two inch hole. For want of experience in boring we made sharp thin bits to bore with; and always sharpened our bit to the size we left off at. Had to take the whole auger across the river to Tobias' blacksmith shop. Then cut the bit from the iron {or} the iron pole or have {to} sharpen the bit then weld it on again. All this Tobias Ruffner used to do for me. Then take the auger across the river again in a canoe. This is the way I bored for four days; and as my auger got too short, made it longer by adding another bar of iron. We had to sharen our auger three times a day this way . In this way we bored forty feet in four days. One day we bored 14 feet through stone coal slate and soap stone. by this time Tobias had got salt water at 44 feet and stopped boring. I then borrowed Johnston's auger with screw joints to bore the balance of my well. On the 7th day, still sitting on the bottom of the gum myself to turn the auger, at 57 feet struck a soft place like clay or rotten slate. Here I thought for a few minutes that it was all over with us; that we had got through the rock and no water yet. For we had struck no water of any kind in boring all this distance. But to our surprise and great joy, the salt water began to boil up six inches above the head of the tube; good strong salt water. I soon had to quit my humble station at the bottom of the gum for the top; when and where all hands gave three cheers for the first salt water on the South West bank of the Kanawha River, opposite to Tinkersville. This place took it's name from Tobias Ruffner's Smith Shop for he was ingenious and used to tinker and make a good many for pumps and tubes etc. In the course of an hour the neighbors were generally collected at the well and cheered us again. Sent off and got something to drink. Silas Reynolds got pretty high; tore my coat in small pieces and strewed them in the trees round the gum. The reason I have been so particular in giving this account is because it was all experiment from the beginning to the end. The first trial with me and put requisition {on} all the ingenuity I had to get along in this business. In boring, to clear the hole of the borings we used to put a boat socket down with a cord and then wait until the boring settled into it. Then could only haul up a gill, or half a pint, at a time. Thus ended my first experiment in sinking the first gum and boring and obtaining the first salt water on the Southwest Bank of the Kanawha River in June 1809 by me. Wm. Whitteker {signed} I now proceeded to prepare for making salt. To get salt kettles sent a man all the way to Brownville, Pennsylvania and while he was gone, I prepared my furnace for them. Made my own pump and boxes myself; and hired to do all other necessary work, which was all completed the first of September and began to make salt with a furnace of 50 kettles and found we could make 50 or 60 bushels in 24 hours. Salt {was} then two dollars a bushel. About this time I made a contract with Isaac Noyes, for eight years, to sink a gum and to bore for salt water on his farm; and to erect a furnace at my own expense. And, then to be at equal shares in the proceeds or profits. I hired the gum sunk in the spring of 1810. In May began to bore the well; but was a good deal troubled to get the boring out of the hole and this sinking down a boat socket tedious. Levi Whitteker, Isaac Noyes, and myself were boring the well. I told them this slow way of getting out the boring and sand would never do; that I thought that I could contrive some better way. I went down home to Charleston. I took five sheets of tin and with common hand shears cut them in two in the middle; and with a two inch auger I bored a hole in one of the logs in my old log house. Into which {hole} I put a round piece of wood to form and hammer my tin in for a tube like nose. These tins had to be soldered and nobody here had a soldering iron. Well, I went to the blacksmith's shop. I made & formed a piece of iron about the size of a hen's egg with an iron shank in handle at one end. The other end I split so as to receive the double of a copper cent. I hammered the cent nearly square then cut the cent in the middle; drove it into this iron. Filed it smooth, hit and tined it over. With this soldered my tube for the hand pump, as I called it. For the lower end, I put in a small box with a valve like a pump. Near the upper end I cut a square hole one inch wide and one half inch long. To empty out the borings in this upper end, I put a piece of wood of the size of the tube two feet long and nailed in tight. The upper end of this wood made small enough to fit and screw into the auger that we were boring with. And, this completed, I took it down to the river and tried it in the sand under water; and could pump it full. Directly I said to myself, this will do; we can now keep our hole clear of boring without much trouble. This sand pump was ten feet long and two inches diameter. I took this sand pump up to the well we were then boring. Tried it and it would bring up a gallon of borings at a time; would clear the hole at once. Two or three times a day was as often enough to use it. And, there was another advantage in this sand pump. We could always tell the strength of the water at the bottom of the hole and what rock we were boring. Now, as simple a thing as the invention of this sand pump was; it was mine and I might have gotten a patent right for it; but was all willing to contribute my little mite for the benefit of of the salt works. Without this sand pump, where is there a single well that could have been bored? Not one. Where then would have been the salt works this day but for this sand pump of poor old Uncle Billy's? Perhaps nowhere on Kanawha. Well, I wonder if there is a salt maker of this day that would feel himself under the least obligation to give the poor old man a lick of salt for all this benefit. I also made the first tin tube ever put into a salt well on Kanawha. And, made it the same way and with the same tools that I made my sand pump. 60 feet in two days, in three pieces; soldered them together when perpendicular, as we put it down into the hole. And, unsoldered them with two brands of fire held round the joints. Screw joints for tubes were not known for a long time after this. Isaac Noyes is the only living witness of my making the first sand pump; who with Levi Whitteker, was boring with myself {on} Noyes' upper well at that time, 1810. We were boring together the well; and when we had bored the depth of 150 feet, we were somewhat discouraged. So deep that we should never get water that would rise. Norris {he probably means Noyes because Norris was only 3 yrs old in 1810} thought we had better quit and sink another gum. So, we put it to vote. I voted to bore on further but Noyes and Levi voted against me so we stopped boring. So I got another gum; and to find the right place, there was an old man, called the Water Witch, who could tell exactly with his peach tree and hazel fork, exactly where the salt water was. By holding one of them in both hands and walking along the bank. The end of the rod would draw down towards where the salt water was hard enough to screw the bark off the branch he held in his hand. And, Isaac had superstition enough to believe it; and I was a little inclined that way myself. So, we sunk the gum and bored and got salt water. Erected a furnace and made salt. After 18 months we, Noyes and myself, thought we ought to have a settlement of our accounts {which} had been kept so loose that neither of us could tell how {the} accounts stood. He offered to take so much and I offered to give so much; the difference was 600 bushels of salt. We agreed to spit on a chip and throw up, wet or dry, which should have it. He won. This settled the business which law could not have done.

My said husband lived ten years and a half, after my marriage with him. My said husband was unable to labour for three quarters of a year previous to his death. About six months previous to his death, I went with him to the Parish of North Curry in the County of Somerset and attended the Overseers there, at the Vestry Room of that parish who were engaged in paying the Poor, after they had asked him a few questions, as to his settlement, they gave him some money, how much I do not recollect, but previously to his death, he received as much as seven shillings a week from that Parish. I used to fetch the Relief once a month myself, except when the weather or any other casualty prevented me going for it, and on such occasions Mrs Andrews of North Curry aforesaid shopkeeper used to take it up for me. When I received the Relief myself I went to the pay table in the Vestry Room of that parish and received it from Mr Woodman who was the Clerk of the parish. During the time my husband was so relieved by North Curry, he was residing and inhabiting with me and his family in Bickenhall aforesaid, After his death I applied to the Parish Officers of North Curry for relief for myself and children, of whom three only were then living namely Elizabeth then aged about six years Charles aged about three years and William aged about eighteen months, they relieved me with 1s 6d for each of them weekly, until they respectively attained the age of nine years. One of my said children the second was bound an apprentice on her attaining nine years of age by the Parish Officers of North Curry. I used to fetch the Relief monthly in the same manner as during my said husband's lifetime and received it from the said Mr Woodman. I resided and inhabited in the said parish of Bickenhall about three years after my first husband's death during all which time I received the relief aforesaid. I then married Job Hitchcock my late husband and removed with him and my two youngest children by my first husband from Bickenhall aforesaid into the parish of West Buckland aforesaid I received relief for my two younger children whilst resident in West Buckland aforesaid until they respectively attained nine years of age from the said parish of North Curry.

My late husband Job Hitchcock was a labourer in husbandry and worked for Mr John Bryant of the parish of West Buckland aforesaid from about six months after our going to reside in that parish for a period of thirteen or fourteen years. My said son William Coleman went to work with his father in law for the said Mr Bryant at the wages of three pence a day. His wages were paid weekly. My husband used to receive his wages for him. My said son worked for the said Mr Bryant four or five years during the whole of which time he had his meat, drink, washing and lodging with me and my husband in West Buckland aforesaid.

When I was about nine years of age my father in law Job Hitchcock made an agreement with Mr John Bryant of West Buckland in the County of Somerset Butcher for me to serve him at the wages of three pence a day as I have heard but I do not know of my own knowledge. I worked for Mr Bryant about four years. My father in law for the most times received my wages for me, some times I received them myself. My wages were paid weekly. During the time I so worked for Mr Bryant, I had my meat, drink, washing and lodging at my father in law's Job Hitchcock's house in the Parish of West Buckland aforesaid. and part of the time at Mr Bryant's. I left Mr Bryants I went to Mr James Poole in the Parish of West Buckland aforesaid and made an agreement with him to serve him at the wages of eight pence per week meat, drink, washing and lodging. I served him under that agreement ten months when my master having given me a month's notice to leave his service I quitted it. I received my wages weekly. I then went home to my father in law's for a few weeks and I then went to Mr Robert Wright of Catt's Farm in the parish of West Buckland aforesaid and made an agreement with him to serve him at the wages of sixteen pence a week, meat, drink, washing and lodging. I served Mr Wright under that agreement nine months when I left in consequence of a disagreement he having given me a month's notice to leave. I received my wages as I wanted them. I then went to the said James Poole and made an agreement with him to serve him at the wages of eighteen pence a week, meat, drink, washing and lodging. I served him under that agreement eleven months when in consequence of a disagreement I left his service. I received my wages weekly. I have since worked for different masters as a labourer in husbandry at weekly wages. I am now about thirty five years of age. When I was about two and twenty years of age I married Mary Cross my present wife who is the daughter of Joseph Cross late of West Buckland aforesaid deceased. We were married in the parish church of West Buckland aforesaid. I have by my said wife five children all born since my marriage namely, Elizabeth aged twelve years, Mary Ann aged eleven years, Charlotte aged eight years, James aged four years and Sarah aged about nine months, all of whom are now living we are all now chargeable to and receiving relief from the parish of West Buckland aforesaid. I received this day four loaves. I receive such relief in consequence of my illness. About nine years ago I being resident in the parish of West Buckland aforesaid and chargeable thereto was examined as to my settlement before the Justices at Wellington a copy of my examination was given to me which I took with me to North Curry aforesaid and gave it to Mr Wescombe who at that time was one of the Overseers of that parish as I was informed Mr Wescombe received it and then asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted some relief he gave me six shillings. I was then residing in the Parish of West Buckland aforesaid and so informed the said Mr Wescombe. About five or six weeks afterwards I went again to North Curry and saw Mr Wescombe in the Vestry Room, he was paying the poor there. I applied to him again for relief and he gave me seven shillings. I was at that time also inhabiting in West Buckland aforesaid. When I married I went to reside with the said Joseph Cross my wife's father in the parish of West Buckland aforesaid and have continued to reside in the same house ever since, with the exception of about three quarters of a year which was during the lifetime of the said Joseph Cross. The said Joseph Cross died about six years ago. I have resided in the same house ever since his death. I pay one pound per year for the same to the under steward of the Lord of the Manor of West Buckland aforesaid and I consider the premises are my own so long as I pay the rent and keep the same in repair. The said Joseph Cross had six children besides my said wife who was the youngest namely Joseph, Thomas, George, James, Ann and Betty all of whom are now living. The said Joseph Cross died without a will and neither I nor my said wife have taken out letters of administration to his effects.

=== A Rare Transit of Venus and the Even More Rare Me ===

In June 2012, I also got to witness the ''Transit of Venus'', I even caught some pictures of it (which I will have to search for all my past photos to find them but when I do I will upload them to my profile images). Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena and occur in a pattern that generally repeats every 243 years. Occuring in pairs, consecutive transits per pair are spaced 8 years apart, these consecutive pairs occur more than a century apart, they are seperated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years.[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_of_Venus,_2012 Transit of Venus, 2012 - Wikipedia] wikipedia.org The last transit of Venus, of which I was witness to, took place on June 5th-6th, 2012, it was the last Venus transit of the 21st century, it occured consecutively with the transit that took place on June 8th, 2004, of which I didn't see. The previous pair of transits were in December 1874 and December 1882. The next transits of Venus will take place on December 10th-11th, 2117, and on December 8th, 2125.NASA - Catalog of Transits of Venus [https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/transit/catalog/VenusCatalog.html SIX MILLENNIUM CATALOG OF VENUS TRANSITS: 2000 BCE TO 4000 CE] nasa.gov The first time a spacecraft orbited Venus during a transit was the 2012 transit.

A fogorvosnő egy gyenge munka erő volt, és nem volt lekiismeretes a páciensekkel szemben, feltette a lukas koronát a fogra és azt mondta, ez úgyse jön többet ide. Én ezt nem tudtam tenni, mert ha a páciens fizet, azt ki kell elégíteni, úgy, hogy meg legyen elégedve, mert az csak a rendelőnek jó hírnevet csinál.

My friends were surprised at how brave I had been. The situation got worse every day between the Germans and Jews, so I closed the office and didn't work, because I had to fear for my life.

'''Why add your research to WikiTree?''' *Because WikiTree is a one-world tree, there is one profile for every person who ever existed. This allows multiple people to collaborate and share information for each profile. *Unlike other collaborative websites, WikiTree has oversight. **That means people cannot simply come along and delete or alter your work as they please. Yes, others can edit, but they are required to do so only if they are adding value based on sources. If someone is destroying work (this is rare), we have a [[Help:Problems_with_Members|Problems With Members System]] that puts a stop to this. **With the click of a button, any bad edits can be reverted. **As long as you stay as the profile manager of any profiles you are creating and working on, you will receive email notifications of any edits. (Go the the settings under the "My WikiTree" tab in the menu and make sure your notifications are turned on) *The US Black Heritage Project plans to be a single depository of information. This means instead of needing to go to separate websites for information, we will be processing all documents such as Freedmen's Bureau, ship manifests, and plantation archives, and translating them all into ancestor profiles here on WikiTree. *WikiTree has a unique system of categories (similar to tags) and space pages that makes documenting slavery much easier. *WikiTree is a free and public website. All information added here will be freely available to all descendants of the ancestors we are researching. If these descendants choose to become members of WikiTree, they can add their family tree information and connect to the existing ancestor research done by WikiTree members. ==Terminology== The Beyond Kin Method uses the terms EP (Enslaved Person) and SH (Slave Holder). The US Black Heritage Project uses a mix of terminology based on the feedback of descendants. You will see the project use the terms Slaves, Enslaved Ancestors, and Slave Owners. However, you are welcome to continue with the Beyond Kin terms. Please see [[Space:US_Black_Heritage:_Preferred_Terminology|Preferred Terminology]] for more information on this topic. ==Beyond Kin== The Beyond Kin Method does the following on Ancestry: #Adds a false spouse to a Slave Owner called "Beyond Kin." #Then adds a false spouse to that spouse that is the name of the plantation or slave population. #Then adds a false child (children) to that child for each set of documents. #Finally adds the enslaved ancestors named or enumerated in each document. ==WikiTree== Our method can start with either a document OR a Slave Owner. By using WikiTree's unique system of Categories, we can start with whatever information we have in front of us to work with. ===Starting With the Slave Owner=== #Create the Slave Owner profile (search by name first to see if it already exists. If so, edit the existing profile). #Add headings and categories as shown on this page: [[Space:Documenting_Enslaved_People_in_WikiTree#Create_the_Slave_Owner_Profile|Creating the Slave Owner Profile]] #List the named slaves on the profile under the "Slaves" heading. (for 10 or more enslaved ancestors, please create a space page and list them there instead. See [[Space:Creating_Slave_Owner_Space_Pages|Creating Slave Owner Space Pages]] for more information on how to set these up. These space pages are used as workspaces to collect all slavery information for that owner and to identify unnamed slaves--such as those found on Slave Schedules. ===Starting With a Document=== #As long as the document names those enslaved by at least a first name, you can create their profiles. See [[Space:Documenting_Enslaved_People_in_WikiTree|Documenting Enslaved People in WikiTree]] for what items to include on their profiles. #Categories detailed on that page are very important because this is what puts the profiles into the Heritage Exchange system. ===Starting With a Plantation=== If you are working with a location instead of a Slave Owner, we have a Plantation Index and we use space pages for this documentation.

This would have occurred in the late 1600s, I believe.

Jean Georges dit Chambre Walter was a well known glass maker in the 1700s in Eastern France. He wrote a Chronicle based on local church records and family interviews. His granddaughter's husband, published it in the early 1800s. It was republished Etienne Stenger a descendant. Jean Georges called Georges in many records was my 4x Great Grandfather. '''The Founding of the Glassworks of St. Louis''' '''Also Known as Munzthal, Meisenthal and Goetzenbruck ''' This is a translation of a manuscript written in French by Georges WALTER, nicknamed Chambre-Georges, born 19.12.1741 in Meisenthal, died 20.1.1823 at Goetzenbruck No one has written and our ancestors have not recorded the history about the forest of Bitche, therefore, I, Georges Walter, will put into writing in this brochure that which has been told to me, and I will go back to the year 1640, the year in which the glassworks was founded. Therefore, our descendants will not ignore these facts as we have. My parents and grandparents have told us that the first glassworks in the forest of the region were very small and they were called "Stutzenhutten" (simple wooden huts). The inhabitants were very poor and the construction of these glassworks were very simple: four tree trunks forced into the ground formed the four corners. The walls and roof were made from wooden planks. In my youth I, myself, saw the remains of the structures of these glassworks, in particular at the place called Hutzenthal, close to Meisenthal. In that period there was at that location a beautiful forest of beech trees. There was an oven that was still half standing and I would often sit there while I watched the cows. It was surrounded by great beech trees. That forest was cut in 1766 and was replaced by fields and meadows. A small hut of that style is found in the valley called Glasthal (valley of glass) below the windmill, close to the long meadow (bei dem langen Triesch). Another one is found at Meisenthal at the location of the actual glassworks, another one below Soucht close to Speckbrunnen. There are many places like this, but one does not recognize anything but the remains of the location. They always built these small glassworks in the valley where there was wood, and on the side they raised small wooden buildings. They didn't stay there longer than they could to transport the wood to heat the kilns, and then they would go on to construct another glassworks. To my knowledge, this is what happened during the years 1400 and 1500. After that, and these are my recollections of the earliest accounts that my ancestors recounted, concerning the glassworks of Munzthal founded by the direction of Pierre WALTER, our ancestor: This Pierre WALTER made glass at Munzthal at the time of the Swedish War, a war which lasted 30 years from 1618 to 1648. Also, he worked at Munzthal toward the end of the Swedish War. He had five (5) children of which the youngest, Adam Walter, had not yet been weaned. The mother Anna STENGER lived with her infants at Soucht. At that time in history, there was a famine in the region and the villages were all uninhabited. All the inhabitants had fled France during the terrible Thirty Year War against Sweden with the exception of a few who were hidden in the forest. There was neither bread nor livestock in all the region (the potato did not exist yet on our continent), and also, we totally lacked food. The people lived from hunting and fishing, because the wild game and the fishes were in abundance in the wooded regions. That was the reason the infants could not eat this type of food as the adults could, therefore, the majority of the children and infants died from lack of bread and milk. Our elders have told me that the wife of Pierre WALTER(Anna STENGER), our great-grandmother, went to Strasbourg to buy bread. She took with her, her youngest infant, Adam WALTER, who had not yet been weaned, leaving the four others at Soucht. When she returned with the bread, her servant had left for Munzthal with the four children to see their father, who was making glass there. The mother went on ahead to Munzthal to take the bread to her children. When she arrived on the lower side of the forest that separated Soucht from Munzthal, she saw her servant arrive with her children.. The mother asked: "Where is little Anne?" The servant was crying and told her that the infant was dead, lying below a tree on the high side. One can imagine how hard the pain was for that mother in learning that news. After that first infant died, the three others died also. Only the youngest survived, Adam WALTER, from whom all the Walters of the region descend. He married, thus as I have copied by my own hand from the register of the parish of Soucht. The act was as follows: Year 1667 "The 21st of October the honest and respectable Adam WALTER, glassmaker, legitimate son of Pierre WALTER and Anna STENGER contracted marriage, and the honest and virtuous Marie, legitimate daughter of Wincenny BOTZT, glassmaker at Rosteig and Anna Dillenschneider." The marriage was blessed by Father Augustin Weistorf in his church The witnesses were among others, Jean Maurer and Mateis Stenger To my knowledge, after this information, the glassworks of Soucht was built about 1620, but the fact is not certain. I suppose that it was founded after the glassworks below Soucht, the glassworks which was replaced by the one at Speckbronn and constructed by the same glassworkers. As the elders have told me, and as I have myself read about in the very old registers of the parish of Soucht, the town received the name of Soucht (SUTCHT) in the following manner: The glassworkers demanded of Seigneur DeBitche, a location in the forest to build a glassworks. They were asked what place did they want; they answered that they did not know of any. The Seigneur then told them, "Go and look," (in German: Sucht). They chose this place and they gave it the name SUCHT. Before that time the valley was named Kammerthal, a name it had received from Kammerfelsen which was found below Soucht. The first master glassmakers whose names I found in the area of Soucht were named STENGER, ZAUTER, and KREINER. They are shown as witnesses on many documents. The first baptism written in this register is dated 1644. The wife of the master glassmaker Christoph KREINER was godmother. For the second baptism, in 1648 is the wife of the master glassmaker Jean STENGER who was godmother. For the third, in 1650 we find the name of the father, Adam STENGER, master glassmaker of Soucht, Jean STENGER, master glassmaker at Rosteig was the godfather. In all the registers of baptisms, marriages and deaths until 1670, we read the name Stenger, master glassmaker. The names of Kreiner and Zauter are not found for a long time. There were not many inhabitants at Soucht and most of the time they baptized their infants elsewhere. Our great-grandfather Adam WALTER, however, as written was dead in 1688. He was the last master glassmaker of Soucht. Here are the acts of the deceased as written in the records: "The 2nd of February, 1688 was buried Adam WALTER, master glassmaker. He expired piously the 1st of February about 3 o'clock, and was buried near the "grand cross on the side of the entrance of the church." He lived in marriage for 21 years, he had 6 children: Etienne, Nicolas, Pierre, Martin (who was my grandfather), Ursule and Marguerite. At his death, his children were all still very young. The great-grandmother (Anna STENGER) continued to direct the glassworks with her children until 1700. Then the glassworks disappeared and the new glass manufactory was constructed in Meisenthal in 1702. Often I have seen that date carved on the ancient glassworks. The glassworks of Meisenthal was constructed by the three brothers - Nicolas, Etienne and Martin WALTER (my grandfather), Etienne STENGER and Martin BURGUN (my other grandfather) and his brother Nicolas. They constructed all big homes of wood and some barns next to the houses. Of those homes, three are in existence today: That of Nicolas WALTER and that of Martin WALTER. They were later enclosed by walls by our ancestors. Each constructed a potash furnace and fabricated the potash himself. The ashes were left to burn in the forest. In effect, the wood there was in abundance and a large amount rotted. They worked hard at making the forest disappear. There where is found the glassworks, the homes, the meadows and the fields, had been a beautiful forest of beech trees. The three WALTER brothers gave to their brother Pierre WALTER all the farm that had belonged to their parents, in particular, the family home and the property found near Sucht (Sucht = Soucht). Marguerite, one of the sisters of the four WALTER brothers was married at Rahling. There she was called "die Huttengret" = Marguerite of the glassworks. The second sister was married at Meyenthal, close to Lettenbach, where at that time was found a glassoworks. This second sister (Ursule) I knew as an older woman at Meyenthal since I was 16 years old. I spoke to her and she told me the story of her youth at Soucht and at Meisenthal with tears in her eyes. At that time she was the last of the brothers and sisters. In 1720 my grandparents decided to again construct a glassworks for their children. They chose a place that was then called Gatterbruck. In reality there was a very dense forest crossed by the route coming from Sarreguemines, Rohrbach and the surrounding villages. The place where that glassworks was, was humid and swampy and the forest thick. In order to cross this location with their vehicles, passing from Lorraine to Alsace, the country people had constructed a wooden bridge (in German: brucke) and later this location was named Gotterbruck (bridge of God). I do not know why later it was changed to Goetzenbruck. Once again I saw a section of the woods from the bridge as someone had dug the foundation of the actual houses that could be found at that location. They were constructed of beech poles placed next to each other. The color of the poles was blue. The glassworks of Goetzenbruck was installed by the three brothers, Nicolas, Etienne and Martin WALTER and Etienne STENGER - all four were from Meisenthal. Martin Burgun, my grandfather, and his brother Nicolas Burgun did not wish to take part in that enterprise. They found themselves very short of money. That is why the four brought in a fifth partner by the name of Pierre STENGER from Waldenburg close to Phalsburg. The wife of Martin WALTER of Meisenthal was a sister of Pierre STENGER (a remark made by Georges WALTER, which was a mistake in citing the wife of Etienne WALTER as being the sister of this Pierre STENGER). He received 1/6th part of the glassworks and 600 arpents of land, of which the others had the use of. After that glassworks, small wooden homes were built so they could work there. However, the first four lived in Meisenthal. Pierre STENGER lived in the glassworks until he also constructed himself a small home. Thus, they erected themselves this glassworks until their children were older. Since they had take the fabrication of glass to Meisenthal, each of the WALTER brothers sent two of their sons to Goetzenbruck. Nicolas Walter, the oldest, sent his two sons - Etienne and Casper WALTER, Etienne WALTER sent his sons, Jean and Casper WALTER (called "the langen" = long = tall). Martin WALTER, my grandfather, sent Chretien WALTER and Martin WALTER. Nicolas HILD, who married the widow of Etienne STENGER, sent a son of his wife's first marriage, by the name of Etienne STENGER and one of his own sons, Pierre HILD, who lived at Konigsberg (Mont-Royal). All were glassmakers and they all worked themselves in the glassworks, but not as it is done today (sitting on chairs), but each glassblower standing. Each glassblower had attached two large boards of two inches and attached to the side of a piece of iron. Two blowers always worked together - all were separated by a metal tube between the kiln and the Ofentrog, called Werft. My grandparents, my parents and myself have all worked in this way in my youth. During one year, I worked at Plaine-de-Walsche, and another at Harreberg, a year at Monterme close to Charleville, a year at the glassworks of Vannes near Vaucouleurs at the first kiln that, that glassworks had constructed in 1765. I also worked a few months at Meisenthal and Goetzenbruck. After that I began to travel and I spent fifteen years in Switzerland, France, Brabant in Holland. In Germany I was not far from Frankfurt on the Main and along the Rhine. I write these things because the descendants not knowing how their ancestors worked and fabricated the glass before their time and until 1800. Then appeared the Stuhle = chairs, benches for the fabrication of glass at Meisenthal and at Goetzenbruck. Since my grandparents died dans le Seigneur, the brothers from Meisenthal and those from Goetzenbruck divided equally the succession, that is to say, all the wealth and glassworks at Meisenthal and Goetzenbruck. This happened about 1749 and 1750. In the year 1725, our grandparents also constructed a chapel at the place where we had raised a church in 1813. Each of the inhabitants of Goetzenbruck and of Konigsberg (Mont-Royal) contributed according to their means. Before Meisenthal and Goetzenbruck were separated, they were both part of the parish of Soucht until 1802 - the year we had our first cemetery at Goetzenbruck. In 1807 we constructed the presbytery. In 1809 the inhabitants of Meisenthal and Schierestal built the first chapel at Meisenthal. According to the oldest registries of the parish Soucht, the first chapel built there was in 1659. That record tells us that the glassmakers decided unanimously to build a small chapel in the honor of God. Everyone contributed according to their fortune, and it was blessed on June 8th, the feast of the Holy Trinity, the day that the first mass and sermon took place. The chapel was placed on the outside of the village of Hoffeld, about 200 meters behind the presbytery. It is found close to the road to Kammerthal. In my youth I have often been in that chapel since I went to the school at Soucht. There was room for about 30 people. The record continues thus: Dear and kind reader, may God be blessed forever; since the glassmakers, our dear ancestors have searched all through the forest of Bitche and have chosen this place as the location to exercise, with success, their art.. They have begun by rendering to God honor and glory, which is due him. They know well that from the benediction of God depends all wealth and all well-being and that, that benediction by effect of its immense bounty returns in great measure upon he who gives honor and due to his majesty. That is why all the people there, very pious Catholics, make an effort to do their duty in assisting piously at the Mass and to the faith. They never omitted that, which for lack of means, they were forced to do their pious duty in the proper chamber. They found consequently that did not conform to the glory of God. In effect, the places that had served on one day as a celebration of Holy Mysteries was again dishonored. That is why they decided unanimously as their goal to construct a small chapel. That was in 1659, as it has been said. The record continues thus: In the year 1668 since our brave people were settled and multiplied by the benediction of God at the glassworks. They built with good heart as a sign of recognition an entirely new and beautiful chapel. The community celebrated for the first time on October 4 by Father Augustin Weistorf (s.j.). Near this chapel there was a little schoolhouse where I often went in my youth. In the year 1725 a long nave was built at this chapel and in 1770 the chapel, which was found in the heart of the location, was demolished. At the same time the schoolhouse and the church were enlarged. We see how our ancestors took care of their praise to God, while we actually are quite often very negligent. They said that they were in eternity, we also will be with them shortly, serving God to the end.

'''Prelude''' The following script is an exact copy of the chronik I wrote for my children and grandchildren. The publication of which is a contribution to the history of our towns, especially our village Goetzenbruck for its 250th celebration of the founding of the village on September 6, 1721. Since my youth the love for my glassmaker family steered on my interest in the origin and development of our glassworks, our founder and the collection of those documents. After searching for years, this is completed. This is how, at my old age, this chronik came to be. Georges Walter was the example and the most important son from our home. Georges was also called Chambre George, lived from 1741 to 1823 and he left his children a historic script of the origin of our glassworks family. The original script does not exist anymore. I inherited a copy of the original dated 1830 through one of his grandchildren, Pierre Berger. It is my honor on this occasion to publish this important script for our memorial year.

This Chronik is for the two-hundred- fiftieth year celebration of our village Goetzenbruck. It is my pleasure to include photographs from this period of over one hundred persons, young and old who lived in that era. Unfortunately, only a few of these people are still alive and only approximately five hundred names were known to me of the eight hundred people in the photographs. The publication of this document is very simple and only for our local history. It includes passages about the development and the founders of the glassworks. It also talks about the connection of the families in the Saarburger area. The information concerning the Saarburger families has been given to me by the director of the glassworks in Trois-Fountaines (Three Fountains). I would like to thank him very much. I also want to thank all my friends and acquaintances who assisted me through the past years in searching for old scriptures and documents. There were several documents from the archives of Goetzenbruck which were given to me as a copy. But I also want to thank the German Democratic Republic who gave me many new friends who were able to supply me with a lot of information and documents. This information has allowed me to close the circle about my family and I want to thank my friends very much. This document is for my children, grandchildren and all other people who are interested in our local history. It is for those who want to gain deeper knowledge of our local history and happenings in our glassworks families through the past centuries. This document is also a deep thank-you for my already dead parents, grandparents, and ancestors. Goetzenbruck - month of July, 1971 - Etienne (Stephan) Stenger '''Introduction''' In my early youth I was an apprentice in the Goetzenbruck glass factory, Walter, Berger and Cie. A close relative of mine showed me a chronik from Georges Walter (Chambre George) printed in 1830 and asked me to keep it because it is an important historical document. The content of this document made a deep impression on me. From this moment on my interest was on the life of my ancestors, the former glassmasters, founders of the glassmaker villages, Soucht, Meisenthal and Goetzenbruck. From then on I collected all scriptures and documents concerning the foundation of the glassworks. I realized that the information in the Georges Walter document could give me some clues concerning the family ties and for over twenty years I wrote a document about all the scriptures I found. I included my own experiences for my children. The first document is the chronik of Georges Walter and the book of A. Marcus - The Glassworks of the Area of Bitsche ¬from 1885. This history of the glass industry in Lothringen was written by Dr. Otto Flory in Strasbourg in 1911. I did not want to copy already existing documents, also I would have been able to add some of my own findings. Some key elements were missing in my documents, especially concerning our glassmaker ancestors from the 17th century. I was also missing family ties, names of wives, of former glassmasters and founders of glassworks and a lot more. Georges Walter had his information from the Souchter church records which was also a clue for me to search again through those books concerning the names of the founders of the glassworks in our area. This research only took me back to the 17th century, on the other hand, Georges Walter's chronik talks about glassworks in our area in earlier centuries. I was especially interested in my glassmaker ancestors who according to my parents and grandparents, the Stenger, came from Switzerland. I was lucky to receive help from researchers in Germany who were also researching the history of the Stenger and Greiner in our area. '''Robert Greiner from Augsburg was born at the Ludwigsthaler glassworks at Limburg.''' He was able to supply me with important information and documents about the family Greiner. The information I received came from the archives in Augsburg. The documents told about the glassworks in Neuenlautern - Glaslautern in the Lowenstein area, north of Stuttgart. The Greiner and Stenger were glass masters in that area in 1603. '''Karl Greiner from Stuttgart died March, 1967.''' He was eighty years old and supplied me with important information concerning the Stenger glass masters in Swabia, north of Stuttgart. I was able to compare names between that area and ours. '''Harald Stenger, an engineer from Dortmund, now living in Wurzburg''', who visited me several times over the last years, gave me a lot of documents concerning the origin of the Stenger. It was a very important book by Margarete Killing, named Glassmakers Trade in Hessen, 1927 with important notes to the former glassworks in Spessart, especially copies of a certificate from the archives of the historic club for Unterfranken by A. Amrhien, Wurzburg, 1900. The Spessart order from 1406, a glassmakers union founded by 40 glassmakers from Spessart from which six had the name Stenger. The Spessart woods are east of Frankfurt. This was a revelation for me since no researcher from our area told me about this book, nor that there was written documentation about the glassworks in Spessart. I believe that the Stenger from our area migrated in the 16th century from either Switzerland or Swabia. Harald Stenger also gave me a document from Johannes Stauda entitled "The Glassworkers In And Around Spessart". I was especially happy to find hand painted coats-of-arms from Stenger from the year 1208. Through the information and documents received, there is no doubt that our Stenger ancestors migrated in the 16th century either through Spessart or through Swabia. In the Spessart order from 1406, you can also find names of other glassmasters like Fleckenstein and Lutzeler. German researchers have the opinion that the Stenger were already in the 14th century in the Spessart area only to return in the 16th century to Elsass (Alsace). Mr. A. Stenger, director of the Trois-Fountaines glassworks, sent me copies from the departmental archives in Strasbourg. The documents and information concerning the foundation of glassworks in the former "Grafschaft" Lutzelstein said that glassmaster Stenger was part of the foundation in the 16th and 17th century. It is amazing to see how far our glassworkers ancestors were able to travel, also the work was hard in the hot and primitive glassworks. It took a long time before they settled in our area. It is also amazing to find the name "Neuhutten At Breydenstein" in the Spessart area. A glassworker called Andre Spessert worked in 1609 in Munzthal, also a Sebastian Fleckenstein in 1625. Sebastian was most likely a descendant of Henne Fleckenstein. Munzthal, which is according to a map from Goetzenbruck, dated 1763, is located between the woods around Klabach to the Perdschwenn called "Spessert". The Glassworks in Spessart George Walter Called Chambre George Author of the Chronik The Origin of the Glassworks in St. Louis (Also called Munzthal), Meisenthal and Goetzenbruck I will report in the following chapters about the origin of the Bitscheland glassworks, but first I need to name the oldest author of the previous chronik, Michel Berger. He is a descendant of the founder of glassworks Meisenthal, Goetzenbruck and played a significant role in the development of the glassworks and the city of Goetzenbruck. '''Pierre Berger who married a grandchild of Georges Walter, Therese Walter,''' published the meanwhile famous handwritten chronik in 1830. He was the first one to report about his origin and doings, as I found in the Souchte churchbooks and other documents. My impression from his chronik was that he had a great personality and was a great glassmaster and had good business sense. He was also a very faithful man. His signature was on many church and county documents. The following biography about Chambre George, with notes about his ancestors and descendants, is a special honor to his home area.. The house he built in 1787 has unfortunately been destroyed during the war, but there is an old photograph which is included in this document. '''The Ancestors of Georges Walter''' He partly included this in his chronik but also made mistakes as I found during my research. The first known ancestors were Peter Walter as named in his chronik. He was a glassmaster in the 40's of the 17th century (1640). He was married to Anna Stenger and lived in Soucht. All Walters of this area are decendants of this couple. Which means from their only surviving son, Adam Walter. This Adam Walter was the glassmaster at the glassworks at Soucht. He was born in 1646, married in 1667 to Marie Barbe Botzt (Betz) and he died in 1688. The closing of the glassworks Soucht around 1700 forced the widow Marie Barbe Betz to move to Meisenthal with her sons. The names of these four sons were: -32- 1. Hans Nickel Walter, glassmaster, married to Barbara Braun. 2. Hans Martin Walter, glassmaster, married to Anna Stenger, daughter of Johann Stenger and Ursula Betz from Trois Fountaines. 2. Stephan Walter (Etienne), glassmaker, married to Margarete Schwerer, daughter of Johann Wolf Schwerer, foreman of the glassworks in Courtzerode at Phalsburg and Christine Andres. 3. For the foundation of the glassworks Meisenthal (1702 - 1704) the following people came. 4. Hans Martin Stenger, glassmaster, married to Anne Marie Feistbauer. 5. Sebastian Burgun, glassmaster, married to Anne Marie Stenger. George Walter's father was Hans Martin Walter and his mother Anna Stenger. His grandparents were: Jacob Walter, glassmaster born 1714 in Meisenthal, died January 15, 1762. Marie Burgun, daughter of Martin Burgun and Anne Odile Feisthauer. This Martin Burgun was a son of the already mentioned Sebastian Burgun. Georges Walter the second oldest son of the already named Jacob Walter and Marie Burgun. He was born on December 19th, 1741 in Meisenthal and had eight brothers and sisters. He married on February 11, 1772, Ursula Walter, daughter of Bernhart Walter and Odile Philippi. This Ursula Walter died on September 21, 1788 at the age of 36. George Walter and Ursula Walter had six children. 1. Martin Walter born on May 5, 1775 in Meisenthal, he died June 7th,1775. 2. Ursula Walter born July 24th, 1776 in Meisenthal, she died on January 4, 1778. 3. Adam Legere Walter, born September 2, 1777 in Meisenthal, he married Marie Catherine Walter on May 9th, 1801, she was the daughter of Caspar Walter and Marie Madeleine Burgun, 19 years old from Meisenthal. Page 32 (continued) 4. Nicolas Walter, born April 14th, 1780 in Meisenthal, he married Angelica Walter on January 18, 1803, she was also a daughter of Caspar Walter and Marie Madeleine Burgun. -33- 5. Marie Madeleine Walter, born November 30, 1781 in Goetzenbruck, she married Nicolas Pauly on May 27th, 1806. He was from Puttelange (Moselle). She died December 16, 1813 at the age of 32. She had four children from which two died shortly after birth. Her husband remarried Barbe (Bibbi) Greff and died at the age of 44. 6. Marie Anne Walter, born January 4, 1784 in Goetzenbruck,she died June 20th, 1784. Four years after the birth and death of her daughter Marie Anne Walter, Ursula Walter, wife of Georges Walter died on September 21, 1788. The oldest living child Adam Legere was 11 years old, Nicolas was 8 years and Madaleine was 7. As stated in the birth documents Georges Walter returned to Goetzenbruck from Meisenthal in 1781. He built a house which was built next to the big house called "Backer Antoine's" and later Lausecker's house. The last house was built in 1787 as I was able to prove in 1965 on hand a scripture over the mews (barn). G. W. - 1787 - U.W. There was a fire in 1929 and the war destroyed the house almost completely in 1945. The house was completely torn down in May, 1965. The stone with the carving completely disappeared in the rubble. The wife of Georges Walter, Ursula, unfortunately did not live very long in the new house - a few months the most. She died September 21, 1788 and left three children of the ages 7, 8 and 11 behind. But there had to be a new wife for the big house and a mother for the children. Georges Walter remarried fifteen months later and again to a close relative ¬Barbe Heisler, daughter of Christian Heisler and Marguerite Walter. The latter was a daughter of Caspar Walter, the long (tall) one, who was the son of Stephan Walter and Margarete Schwerer. The wedding was February 9, 1790. Georges Walter was 49 years old and his second wife, Barbe was 24. Page 39 '''The Glassworks Speckbronn at Soucht''' Georges Walter had mentioned this glassworks in his document but otherwise there is no other information on hand. Peter Walter and his nephew Adam Walter from Goetzenbruck built a sawmill in 1767 at this same location. In 1776 it was changed to a mill. There are no more traces left of it. In the summer of 1968 I was able to find the same location and I even found some glass pieces. The pieces were from windows and drinking glasses and from the size of the bottom of the drinking glasses I was able to determine the size of the glasses. This was a very interesting find for me. '''The Glassworks Eidenheim''' At the Paulus Mill Marcus shows a sketch from the atlas of Bitsche on page 52 from 1755. On this map you will find on number 14 which shows the former location of the glassworks. The Glassworks Eidenheim in Andernheim. It was supposedly already destroyed in the fifteen century. There was also a church and a village at the location, not only a glassworks. At the location were the former Glassworks Eidenheim stood a piece of a goblet was found in 1883. Page 40 which was pictured by Marcus on page 54 and page 55. Marcus writes about it on page 55. Two paragraphs in French It is my opinion that this goblet was manufactured at an earlier time than the pieces that I found at Speckbronnen last year. It seems to be a somewhat more primitive making. '''The Glassworks Munzthal 1585''' On page 26 and 27 is a report from T.H. Alix (1594), he writes that from the Glassworks Holbach were moved in 1585 to Munzthal. Marcus writes that he's uncertain whether the Swabia colony settled there or if it was a different. But, Henry Heigel writes in his article the German Ballai (1600-1633) that Martin Greiner and Simon Stenger moved the glassworks from Holbach to Munzthal in 1585. In 1601 the glassmaster, Martin Greiner paid 80 floren for his glassworks and his eight partners (Siegwalt Steffel, Hensel Schurer, Ulrich Scheidhauer, Hans Schirer von Petersbach, Hans Greiner, Paulus Glaser, Andres Spessart and Henre Wincker). There were ten glassmakers in Munzthal in 1603. In 1607 two of the glassmakers had to pay 12 franconia because they had a fight. In 1609 there were 14 glassmakers ¬Martin Greiner, Jean Houber (Huber, Houver, Hoover) , Adam and Gaspar Greiner, Nicolas Krebs, George Hoff and Sebastian Ehrlich. The widow of Martin Greiner was allowed to open up one of the huts in a different location. The first glassworks works from 1585 destroyed the wooded area. She was allowed to stay five to six years before she had to move. It was reported in 1613 that the glassworks from Martin Greiner was located at the end Munzthal. His son, Jean Greiner took it over in 1614. In 1625 both masters of the glassworks, Nicolas and Leonard Greiner, employed ten workers including Martin Siegwart, Adam Greiner, Andres Stenger, Page 41 Bastien Fleckenstein, Cuntz Betz, George De La Cour, Samuel Legros. The widow Greiner planned to give up the lease for the hut because of the lack of wood. There were still eleven workers employed in the 1629 including Koch, Steffel, Contz, Andres Stenger, ----¬Sigwart, Adam Greiner, Jean Schwan. In 1632 Simon Meyer and Zintz Brenner leased the hut for 250 francs (according to Henry Heigel and his article "Glassworks in the County of Bitsche", in the Saarbrucker Magazine, 6, page 42. There are no records of the fight near Pfaffenhoffen in the summer of 1633 where the Swedish came through Bitsche and had Bitsche under seige. According to Georges Walter, Peter Walter was all our father which is also known by me through the stories of our elders. Peter Walter worked with glass during the time of the Thirty Year War, which started in 1618 and ended in 1648. Therefore, he worked in Munzthal in around 1644. In 1661 the glassworks in Munzthal were announced closed and in a report of the domain of Bitsche it reads: Sentence in French: It is believed, therefore, it was closed because of the war and plunders of the Thirty Year War. Peter Walter and his wife and the last child, Adam Walter were on the way back to Soucht where they started working at the glassworks in Soucht. In 1663 Sir Romecourt leased the land around Munzthal to the brothers Pierre and Mathieu Unteriener. They recorded a large area of land, one lake, and one durrenwald. In 1585 the glassmaker Schwerer and several helpers joined the first glassworks in Munzthal. They were searching for a new location to start a new hut. This one was named Soucht. According to documents the name Soucht came about because of the Count from Bitsche said to the glassmakers, "geht und Soucht". Before I go deeper into the development of the glassworks Soucht, I want to mention another glassworks in the closer area. Page 42 '''The Glassworks Mattstall''' Marcus writes that the glassworks belonged to the County Fleckenstein. It was located close to the village Mattschall and the village remains today "Glashutte" (Verrerie). In the year 1585 the glassworks master, Greiner, received the hereditary leasehold. They manufactured regular window glass, drinking glasses, and before the Revolution in 1793 it belonged to Jacob Seiler from Petites Pierre Lutzelstein and Joseph Burgun from Meisenthal. It was closed down in 1788 and both moved to St. Louis in Munzthal where Jacob Seiler became director. I will talk about this name later concerning the crystal company in St. Louis. I received some more information concerning the glassworks through an article called "Bulletin de la Societe Niederbronnonise d'Histoire et d'Archeologie: Le Village de Mattstall", from F.R. Traubmann. The founder was named Ulrich Greiner according to a letter from 1556 which says, I, Ulrich Greiner certify that Mr. Heinrich from Fleckenstein, Count and master to me and my descendants built at the glassworks and allowed us to work the Buchwald of Mattstall. In the chronik from Georges Walter the first baptism of a child happened in Soucht during the siege of the Swedish War in the year 1644. The name of the child is not known. Robert Greiner of Augsburg wrote to me in 1958 that Christoph Greiner used to be the master of the glassworks in Mattstall. He was the son of Balthasar Greiner, glaser at Neuenlautern (Wurttenberg). Neuenlautern was founded in 1505 or 1507 by Melchior and Peter Greiner. Therefore, both Greiners from Mattstall and Holbach came from Neuenlautern Glaslautern. I visited the glassworks at Mattstall two years ago. Comte Pourtales and his wife who is English, now are the owners. Above the entrance of the house I found a stone plate with the following inscriptions: God Bless my entrance and exit from now to eternity. On the left side it says: I, Johann Peter Greiner, glassworks master lived here in 1663. Page 43 On the right side Sibilla Catharina Greiner from Speier the year of 1663. Robert Greiner also mentioned other names. Johann Jacob Greiner, glassworks master married the daughter of Ebert Heinrich, glaser at Mattstall on August 14, 1659. They both returned to Mattstall. Johann Jacob Greiner was the son of Christoph Greiner, glassworks master at Mattstall. Another son, Caspar Greiner also a glaser married a girl from Landau. So much concerning the glassworks Mattstall which you can attribute to the land of the Bitscheland. The glassworks in Mattstall was operating approximately 100 years longer than the glassworks in Soucht. It was closed in 1788. The Glassworks Soucht After forty years of the already existing glassworks they had to travel farther to get wood. According to a report from Georges Walter the Munzthal Huttmaster working on the Count von Bitsche, asked the Count for permission to build a new hut. The Count supposedly told him "geht und soucht" ¬meaning "go out and search". This is how Chambre George tells it in his chronik. According to our elders and what I have read in our oldest Soucht church book, the name Soucht came about the following way: The glaser under the Bitscher reign had the following wish - to build a new hut on a different place and when they were asked where they want to have it, they're answer was "we don't know yet". The Count then replied "geht und soucht". They went to search for a new place and gave it the name Soucht. Before the valley was called Kammerthal. This name came from a piece of rock about Soucht. The first Huttmasters in the Soucht church book and in many other documents are Stenger, Zauter (Walter?), Kreiner (Greiner). Marcus writes in his book, "Les Verreries du Comte de Bitche", that the glassworks in Soucht was built in 1629. The founder had the first name Leonhardt (full name was Leonhardt Greiner), former huttmaster in Munzthal. There were also other glasers like Martin, Johann, Paul, Adam and Stenger - for example the already mentioned Andre Stenger and Bastien Fleckenstein and others. Page 44 It was not always possible to live in peace for the glasers during that time period due to wars and rival Counts. The already mentioned huts in Hutzenthal, Glasthal, Speckbronn and Eidenheim were victims of such wars. The new glassworks in Soucht weren't meant to be any luckier. Four years after the founding the Swedish entered the country. The Lothringer lost the battle on August 13, 1633 - the battlefield was in Pfaffenhoffen. As soon as the Soucht glassmakers were comfortable in their new Kammerthal home, they were surprised by this new war. The historian called Parisot writes, "Our land sees a lot of sorrows through the war. People are ruined, villages are burned down, and the surviving people have to face the hardest times of their lives. They kill their pets, their harvest and industry is ruined. A priest of that time writes... no tongue can speak, no feather can write, no ear canhear what we have seen. Everywhere there is hunger and death. The dead are without funerals. The few that are still alive live from acorns, roots, straw, lizards, dead animals and human flesh. Pestilence plagued the country during that time too. No one is safe from the hunger. All these are dramatic reports and if you read the book from J. Florange entitled "La guerre de Trente Ans en Lorraine", 1935, it will give you the chills. The Lothringer people did not only have to suffer through the Swedish War but also from the French troops. What happened during those horrible years from 1633 to 1638 in Kammerthal is not known. We suppose that they moved into the woods and stayed safe while the other villages of the Bitscheland were destroyed. Only God knows how many tears, how much fear and sorrow the people of the villages had to endure.

This is just me indicating that I'll be transferring all my research to this platform over time. I have been pretty meticulous in collecting some ancillary information on my mob. It's my belief that the family stories, what they did and the run of their lives should also be included to reflect both themselves as historical characters but also their experiences in life. Much of what I know is pieced together through the records themselves, as well as newspaper articles. I haven't had the luck to come across journals, photos or materials written by themselves personally, which is a shame, really. I do have a few from my dad's family but they are more immediate (relating to my granddad and his family). No doubt, this will take a fair while considering my writing of an honours thesis and naturally, life gets in the way. All the same, It will be nice to operate in the same way I do with my work and away from the 'Ancestry model'.

A free colony where there are no convicts sent and where every person who immigrates is as free as he is in this country. Besides the classes of persons enumerated above bakers, blacksmiths, braziers and tin men, smiths, shipwrights, boat builders, wheel wrights, sawyers, cabinet makers, coopers, couriers, farriers, mill wrights, harness makers, boot and shoe makers, tailors, tanners, brick makers, lime burners and all persons engaged in the erection of buildings are always in great request. The applicants must able to obtain a good character reference as honest sober, industrious men. They must be real labourers going out to work in the colony of sound body not less than 15 and nor more than 30 years of age and married. The rule as to age is occasionally departed from in favour of the parents of large families. As a general rule each child is considered as extended the age plus one year. Sisters of married applicants are allowed to go free if of good character. The province of SA is a delightfully fertile and salubrious country, in every respect well adapted to the constitution of Englishmen and is one of the most flourishing in all our colonies. It is well watered and there have never been any complaints from the colonists of a want of this valuable element. On the contrary, the letters from Cornishmen who have written home are very satisfactory on this point. It should be born in mind that complaints of a scarcity of water do not apply to Adelaide but to other settlements not connected to SA. Immigrants wishing to obtain a free passage this year must now have that opportunity if they apply immediately to Mr I. Latimer, Truro, who is employed by Her Majesty's colonisation commissioners to engage for that fine first class teak built ship the "Java" of 1200 tonnes. The ships accommodations are unusually spacious and lofty and are so arranged as to ensure the comfort of all passengers. She will carry 2 surgeons and 2 school masters the latter of whom will be regularly employed in teaching the immigrants and their children. The vessel will call at Plymouth to take in Cornish passengers and on or about the 16th of October but in order to ensure a passage application should be made forthwith." Truro, August 19th, 1839.'' ---- '''Details from a number '''of sources, ships plans, diaries and published advice to intending migrants, were used in the composite representation of the passenger accommodation in the 1840s. {{Image|file=Jelbert_Society_photos-6.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=''Java'' }} The display at the Port Adelaide Maritime Museum contains extracts from George Plymouth's voyage from Plymouth to Adelaide on that "horrid ship" the "Java" in 1839-40. Also Sarah Burnskil's letters to her parents describing her voyage from Plymouth to Adelaide on the "Thomas Harrison" 1838-39, and seamen's family letters to their relations in England describing their voyages to Adelaide on the "Orator" in 1839. '''Rocks rolls and buckets - Steerage accommodation between decks of an immigrant ship ''' '''During the first wave''' of immigration to SA there was no typical voyage or ship. A wide variety of conditions existed. There were good and bad ships, lucky and unlucky voyages. Imagine yourself back in the 1840s leaving the old country for the new world travelling with your family in married steerage accommodation. Any children over twelve travelled separately in single steerage. '''A partitioned space''' of 6 x 3 feet was allocated for 2 people for the duration of the voyage. Passengers were asked to keep to either side of the wooden partitions. The ship provided "donkey breakfast" mattresses, blankets, bolsters and counterpanes. Three safety lamps were lit at dusk, one in the main hatchway was locked and kept burning all night and the others were extinguished at 10 pm. There was a toilet for women and children only. Men and boys had to go up to the top and use the heads on the lee side of the ship. '''Except for short breaks''' taken up on deck immigrants lived, ate and slept in confined quarters between decks. The roughly assembled berths were homes for men women and babies for the entire 4 month voyage to Australia. Berths and fittings were rough and temporary so they could be easily removed and the space used for cargo on the return voyage. In bad weather the ship would rock, roll and buckets about for days, sometimes weeks. Most passengers were sea sick, hatches were closed, port holes shut and the only light a flickering oil lamp. ---- '''Rules For Immigrant Ships - Extracts from the Passenger Act 1847. ''' *Every passenger to rise at 7 am unless otherwise permitted by the surgeon. *Breakfast from 8 till 9 am, dinner at 1 pm and supper at 6 pm. *Passengers to be in their beds by 10 pm. *No naked light to be allowed at any time or on any account. *No smoking allowed between decks. *Passengers when dressed to roll up their beds, to sweep the decks and the space under the bottom of the beds and to throw the dirt overboard. Breakfast not to commence until this is done. The sweepers for each day to be taken in rotation by the males over 14 and in a proportion of 5 for every 100 passengers. Duties of the sweepers - to clean the ladders, hospitals and round houses to sweep the decks after every meal and to dry, holy stone and scrape them after breakfast. *The occupant of every berth to see that his own berth is well brushed out. The beds to be well shaken and aired on the decks and the bottom boards, if not fixtures, to be removed and dry scrubbed or taken on deck at least twice a week. *On Sunday the passengers will be mustered at 10 am when they will be expected to appear in clean and decent apparel. The day to be observed as religiously as circumstances permit. All fighting, gambling, riotous behaviour, swearing or violent language to be at once put a stop to. Swords and other offensive items as soon as passengers embark to be placed in the custody of the master. *Besides the necessary tools handy for starting a new life in the colony, a saw, wood plane, hammers, chisels and augers, it is recommended that immigrants bring at least the following items of clothing: **For males: 6 shirts , 6 pairs of stockings, ditto shoes, 2 complete suits of exterior clothing. **For females: 6 shifts, 2 flannel petticoats, 6 pairs of stockings 2 ditto shoes, and 2 gowns. '''Each passenger had''' a free allowance of 20 cubic feet of luggage - Larger packages and extra luggage was paid for. Luggage was stored in the ships hold which was opened (weather permitting) once a month so passengers could exchange their soiled clothes for clean ones. Each family provided itself with a strong linen bag that was large enough to hold one month's supply of clothing. ---- '''One Days Food Allowance''': Steerage passengers were put into messes of 6. A mess captain was appointed to collect the rations and take them to the galley. Stews and puddings were easiest to prepare. The food was taken below to be divided and eaten. Passengers washed their own plates and cutlery and put them away for the next meal. '''Passengers were advised''' to bring with them additional items such as tea, sugar, treacle, cheese and herrings. Raspberry wine or vinegar was useful for adding to drinking water which turned foul when stored for long periods. Passengers were provided with the following utensils: knife, fork, tablespoon, teaspoon, metal plate, hot cook pot and mug. Upon arrival in the colony, these articles were given to assisted immigrants who behaved well on the voyage. Immigrants were also advised to take an iron kettle, a couple of saucepans, a frying pan, tea pot and pail. '''For every 100 passengers''' the following medical comforts were carried on board. *10 pounds of arrowroot, *50 pounds of preserved beef, *400 pints of lemon juice, *400 lb of sugar to mix with the lemon juice *60 pounds of scotch barley, *18 bottles of port wine, *300 gallons of stout, *50 gallons of rum. ---- '''First Impressions On Landing In Port Adelaide, SA. ''' :''As we reached the town I saw a gang of natives and my heart sank I wished myself dead; 1839 '' :''All hearts did rejoice to be expelled from our floating prison; 1849 '' :''The port of Adelaide is a very dirty insignificant little place but still full of business; 1851 '' :''The wild though pretty look for the land around us was altogether really beautiful; 1850 '' :''The port is very similar to a thriving English village near London though some few things give it a foreign aspect; 1850'' ---- The once arduous journey from England to Australia now takes less than 24 hours in the "ships" of 1997.

==Familie Trophagen/Traphagen blüht in Amerika, aber nicht mehr in Lemgo== From Alte Hansestadt Lemgo website, archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20160316085659/http://www.lemgo.net/243.html Der Beleg für den zweiten Teil der Titelaussage ist schnell erbracht: im Telefonbuch Lemgos findet man keinen Anschluss unter diesem Namen. - Der Nachweis für den ersten Teil würde jedoch mehrere Transatlantikflüge erfordern (ersatzweise: Internetsitzungen). Da aber trotzdem noch einzelne Fragen offen bleiben, werden alle Lemgoer gebeten, die eine USA-Reise planen, dort soweit wie möglich nach den Spuren der Familie Trophagen/Traphagen Ausschau zu halten - entsprechend die Besucher aus USA. Der Ausgangspunkt ist das 200-Seelendorf Trophagen, nur 4 km von Lemgo entfernt. Aufgrund alter Bindungen und durch eigenen Antrag wurde es am 1. Januar 1970 vom Landkreis Detmold aus - und in die Großgemeinde Lemgo eingegliedert. Trophagen entstand durch Rodungskolonisation als "Hagensiedlung". Die erste schriftliche Erwähnung als "Traphaghen" geschah 1386 in den "Landesherrlichen Rechnungen" (StA Detmold); einer der ersten bekannten Einwohner hieß "Traphaigen" (Ältestes Lippisches Landschatzregister von 1488). Schon vorher taucht der Name in den Lippischen Regesten auf, als der Landesherr 1406 acht Teiche in der Senne an zwei Brüder "Traphaghen" verpachtete. Bald findet man die Namensträger nicht nur auf den Ort Trophagen beschränkt: ab 1504 beginnt die Folge von ca. 20 Eintragungen der Familie Trophagen/Traphagen mit ihren verschiedenen Zweigen in das Bürgerbuch der Stadt Lemgo bis zum 30jährigen Krieg. Die damaligen Schreiber hielten den Unterschied zwischen den beiden Schreibweisen für unwichtig, sodass oft ein und dieselbe Person einmal Trophagen, ein andermal Traphagen genannt wurde. Im Folgenden wird der in Amerika allein benutzte Name "Traphagen" bevorzugt. In der Geschichte der Familie Traphagen spiegelt sich weitgehend das Schicksal der Hansestadt Lemgo wieder: Lemgo war bis zum 30jährigen Krieg die reichste Stadt Lippes und die einzige mit bedeutendem Fernhandel. Viele Familienmitglieder gehörten der Bürgerschaft an und trugen damit ihren Anteil dazu bei, davon einige in herausgehobenen Positionen. Mit der Dauer des Krieges wurde die wirtschaftliche Lage der Stadt und in der Folge auch die der Familie Traphagen immer schwieriger. Aus den Senatsprotokollen von 1625/26 ist z.B. zu ersehen, dass der Ratsherr Hermann Traphagen sein Haus wegen der vielen Gläubiger schätzen lassen musste und schließlich meistbietend verkaufte. Plünderungen durch kaiserliche und schwedische Truppen, Verluste durch Hexenverfolgung und Pest und auch die selbstverschuldeten Folgen durch die Verlegung der lippischen Residenz von Brake nach Detmold führten zu einer annähernden Halbierung der Einwohner- und Häuserzahl. In einem 1651 aufgestellten Verzeichnis der im 30jährigen Krieg "ruinierten Häuser" (StA Lemgo) sind die Häuser von Arndt, Jacob und [[Traphagen-47|Johannes Trophagen]] ([[Traphagen-2|Wilhelms]] Vater, Echternstrasse 94 ) aufgeführt. Nach dem Krieg waren "Traphagen" auch in Detmold, Bielefeld, Lippstadt, Enger und Luthe/Niedersachsen nachzuweisen. Unter denen, die die Stadt Lemgo verließen, war [[Traphagen-2|Wilhelm Traphagen]], ein Sohn des geachteten Bürgers [[Traphagen-47|Johannes Tr.]] und seiner Frau [[Delendal-1|Helena geb. Derenthal]]. [[Traphagen-47|Johannes Tr.]] war Ratsherr, Doktor der Medizin und Sohn des [[Traphagen-48|Anton Tr.]], der sich 1606 an der Stiftung eines heute noch zu bewundernden Kronleuchters in der Stadtkirche St. Nicolai beteiligt hatte. [[Traphagen-2|Wilhelms]] Bruder hieß ebenfalls Anton und war seit 1638 Pastor in Almena. [[Traphagen-2|Wilhelms]] Onkel war Kanzler in Herford. [[Delendal-1|Helenas]] Vater diente der Stadt als Ratsherr und Ratssiegler. Diese starke Verwurzelung prägte [[Traphagen-2|Wilhelm]] bis in sein Alter; später ist ihm das einzige vollständige Stammbuch eines der ersten Siedler New Hollands (New Yorks) zu verdanken. Zunächst lockte das "Goldene Zeitalter" Amsterdams, [[Traphagen-2|Wilhelm]] bewarb sich dort 1646 als "journeyman baker" (zweiter Bäcker) und nannte sich fortan [[Traphagen-2|"Wilhelm Jansen"]]. Er heiratete [[Groenvis-1|Jannetje Claesen Groevnis]] und war im nächsten Jahr schon Bäckermeister. Der Wohlstand wuchs, und nach mehreren Jahren entschloss sich [[Traphagen-2|Wilhelm Jansen]], dem Ruf des 1612 in Amerika gegründeten „New Holland" zu folgen und dort Fuß zu fassen. Unter dem Governor Peter Stuyvesant gehörte er zu denen, die 1656 den Indianern Land abkaufen und sich dort erste Häuser errichten konnten. [[Groenvis-1|Jannetje]] hatte ihm drei Kinder geschenkt, starb aber schon 1657; er heiratete noch zweimal. 1671 hinterlegte er eine für damalige Zeiten vorbildliche eidesstattliche Aussage über seine Familienverhältnisse, in der u.a. ein Hinweis auf die Trophagen-Stiftung in Lemgo enthalten war, die heute noch, wenn auch entwertet, von der Stadtkasse Lemgo verwaltet wird. [[Traphagen-2|Wilhelm Jansens]] Kinder wären berechtigt gewesen, in den Genuss der Benefizien zu kommen, z.B. durch ein Studium. Er hatte insgesamt 7 Kinder und entsprechend viele Nachfahren. Der Erfolg [[Traphagen-2|Wilhelm Jansens]] regte anschließend drei weitere Traphagen aus Luthe/Niedersachsen zur Auswanderung an, deren Familien wahrscheinlich schon vorher Lemgo verlassen hatten. Auf diesen 4 Säulen ruht die gesamte Nachkommenschaft, die heute etwa soviel "Traphagen" umfasst wie der Ort Trophagen Einwohner aufweist. - Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte haben sich die Träger dieses Namens so gut in ihrem Gastland integriert und soviel Verdienste erworben, dass man ihren Anteil an der amerikanischen Geschichte kaum vernachlässigen kann. Einen Hinweis liefert z.B. die Library of Congress in Washington D.C., in deren Katalog über 50 Bücher mit einem Verfasser Traphagen oder einem Nachfahren zu finden sind (einschließlich der Pulitzer-Preisträgerin M. K. Rawlings). Anhand einer Liste mit Kurzbeschreibungen kann ihre Bedeutung verfolgt werden: [http://www.lemgo.net/fileadmin/pdf-lemgo/informativ/personen/Trophagen_USA.pdf Link dorthin]. TRANSALATION The evidence for the second part of the title statement is quickly provided: in the Lemgos telephone directory you will not find a connection under this name. - Proof of the first part would, however, require several transatlantic flights (alternatively: Internet sessions). However, since individual questions still remain unanswered, all Lemgoers who are planning a trip to the USA are asked to look for traces of the Trophagen / Traphagen family there as far as possible - accordingly the visitors from the USA. The starting point is the village of 200 people, Trophagen, only 4 km from Lemgo. Due to old ties and through our own application, it was integrated into the district of Detmold on January 1, 1970 - and incorporated into the larger municipality of Lemgo. Trophagen was created by clearing colonization as a "Hagensiedlung". The first written mention as "Traphaghen" happened in 1386 in the "Landesherrlichenrechner" (StA Detmold); one of the first known residents was called "Traphaigen" (oldest Lippisches Landschatzregister from 1488). The name appears even before that in the Lippische Regesten, when the sovereign leased eight ponds in the Senne to two brothers "Traphaghen" in 1406. Soon you will find the bearers of the name not only limited to the town of Trophagen: from 1504 the sequence of around 20 entries of the Trophagen / Traphagen family with their various branches in the town register of the city of Lemgo up to the 30 Years War begins. The writers of the time considered the difference between the two spellings to be unimportant, so that one and the same person was often called trophages at one time and traphage at another. In the following, the name "Traphagen", used only in America, is preferred. The history of the Traphagen family largely reflects the fate of the Hanseatic city of Lemgo: Until the Thirty Years War, Lemgo was the richest city in Lippe and the only one with significant long-distance trade. Many family members belonged to the citizenry and thus did their part, some of them in prominent positions. With the duration of the war, the economic situation of the city and, as a result, that of the Traphagen family became increasingly difficult. From the minutes of the Senate of 1625/26, e.g. to see that the councilor Hermann Traphagen had to have his house appraised because of the many creditors and finally sold it to the highest bidder. Looting by imperial and Swedish troops, losses from witch hunts and the plague and the self-inflicted consequences of moving the residence in Lippe from Brake to Detmold led to an almost halving of the number of residents and houses. The houses of Arndt, Jacob and Johannes Trophagen (Wilhelm's father, Echternstrasse 94) are listed in a list of the houses "ruined" in the Thirty Years War (StA Lemgo) in 1651. After the war, "Traphagen" could also be found in Detmold, Bielefeld, Lippstadt, Enger and Luthe / Lower Saxony. Among those who left the city of Lemgo was Wilhelm Traphagen, a son of the respected citizen Johannes Tr. and his wife Helena geb. Derenthal. Johannes Tr. was a councilor, doctor of medicine and son of Anton Tr., who in 1606 participated in the foundation of a chandelier in the town church of St. Nicolai that can still be admired today. Wilhelm's brother was also called Anton and had been pastor in Almena since 1638. Wilhelm's uncle was Chancellor in Herford. Helena's father served the city as councilor and council sealer. These strong roots shaped Wilhelm into his old age; later the only complete register of one of the first settlers in New Holland (New York) is to be owed to him. At first the "Golden Age" lured Amsterdam, Wilhelm applied there in 1646 as "journeyman baker" (second baker) and called himself from then on "Wilhelm Jansen". He married Jannetje Claesen Groevnis and was a master baker the next year. The prosperity grew, and after several years Wilhelm Jansen decided to follow the call of "New Holland", founded in America in 1612, and to gain a foothold there. Under the governor Peter Stuyvesant he was one of those who in 1656 bought land from the Indians and himself were able to build their first houses there. Jannetje had given him three children, but died in 1657; he married twice more. In 1671 he deposited an exemplary affidavit about his family circumstances, in which, among other things, there was a reference to the trophy foundation in Lemgo, which is still managed today, albeit depreciated, by the Lemgo city treasury. Wilhelm Jansen's children would have been entitled to enjoy the benefits, e.g. by studying. He had a total of 7 children and a corresponding number of descendants. Wilhelm Jansen's success then prompted three more Traphages from Luthe / Lower Saxony to emigrate, whose families had probably already left Lemgo. On these 4 pillars rests the entire progeny, which today is about as much "Traphagen" as the place has Trophagen inhabitants. - Over the centuries, the bearers of this name have integrated themselves so well in their host country and have earned so much merit that their contribution to American history can hardly be neglected. A hint is e.g. the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., which catalogs over 50 books by Traphagen or a descendant (including Pulitzer Prize winner M. K. Rawlings). Their meaning can be traced using a list of brief descriptions See also: https://web.archive.org/web/20110811153351/http://www.lemgo.net/fileadmin/pdf-lemgo/informativ/personen/Trophagen_USA.pdf

76th Illinois Infantry The SEVENTY-SIXTH ILLINOIS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY was organized at Kankakee, Illinois, in August 1862, by Colonel A. W. Mack, and was mustered in August 22d, 1862. Immediately after its muster it was ordered to Columbus, Kentucky, at which place it arrived Aug. 29th, and soon after was armed with Enfield Rifle Muskets. Remained at Columbus, drilling and doing fatigue and picket duty, until Oct. 4th, when the Regiment was ordered to Bolivar, Tenn., by rail, at which place it arrived Oct. 5th, and camped near the city until Nov. 3d, when the Regiment with other troops was moved to LaGrange, Tenn., and remained there until Nov. 28th, when it was sent with General Grant on his campaign along the Mississippi Central Railroad; was at Holly Springs on the 29th and at Waterford on the 30th, doing its part in driving Price's army Southwest. The Fourth Division of the Thirteenth Army Corps, to which the Seventy-sixth belonged, remained near Waterford contending with fierce storms and fathomless mud until Dec. 11th, when it continued its march southward, crossing the Tallahatchie River, passing through Abbyville and Oxford, hand halting near Springdale, until Dec. 22d, when the information was received that the Rebel General VanDorn had captured Holly Springs in the rear of the army and destroyed a large quantity of supplies and cut off all communications with the North. The entire command was "about faced" and proceeded northward, living off the country and at times on extremely short rations. After several days slow marching and much speculation in the entire absence of northern news as to what was to become of the Regiment and the army and the country, Holley Springs was entered on the 5th of January 1863, at which place it remained until January 10th, witnessing many extensive conflagrations. The Seventy-sixth was the last regiment leaving the city. It marched out about sunset, and the Rebels hovering around in the vicinity occupied the city immediately upon, its exit. The Regiment arrived at Moscow on the evening of January 11th and remained there until February 5th, on full rations. At this place the Regiment received official information of the resignation of Col. Mack, who was at that time absent from the Regiment. Lieut. Col. Busey was soon after promoted to Colonel. On February 5th, the camp of the Regiment was moved, through snow and mud, about ten miles, to the village of Lafayette, where it remained until March 10th, when after a three days' march on a fleet of steamers and moved down the Mississippi River. The steamer "Fort Wayne", carrying the Seventy-sixth, was fired into in the night by a band of Guerrillas from the Arkansas shore. Two men were wounded and the boat disabled. The Regiment landed in the morning and burned the buildings on the plantations in the vicinity. The disabled boat was towed down the river with the fleet to Young's Point, Louisiana, where it landed May 17th. On the 18th the Regiment marched across the Point to the river below Vicksburg and embarked for Grand Gulf, and returned to Young's Point on the 20th and immediately embarked for "Chickasaw Bayou" on the Yazoo River, at which place it debarked on the same day; was engaged in closing up the lines in the rear of Vicksburg until after the charge, when it was placed on the left of the besieging lines, and bravely held its place close under the Rebel guns until the final surrender July 4th. On the 5th of July the Regiment moved with Sherman's army against Jackson, Miss., skirmishing with the enemy at Big Black River, and at Champion Hills. At Jackson, the Rebels under Johnson made a stand and engaged our forces from the 12th to the 16th, the Seventy-sixth occupying the extreme right of the attacking forces. On the morning of the 17th the city was found vacated by the Rebels and the Union troops occupied it immediately. The Regiment left Jackson July 21st and arrived at Vicksburg on the 23d, remaining there until August 11th, when it embarked and moved down the river to Natchez, landing there on the 12th. Remained there in camp until the latter part of November, when it was ordered back to Vicksburg, where it went into camp about eight miles from the city at "Camp Cowan". Enjoyed life at this camp until January 31, 1864, then moved about three miles to "Camp Hebron". On February 3d the Seventy-sixth, started with General Sherman on his Meridian campaign and was on the moved continually until March 4th, when the expedition returned and the Regiment rested at "Camp Hebron" until April 5th, when it moved to "Big Black River Bridge", and was on duty there until April 27th, when it returned to Vicksburg and camped on the high hills surrounding the city. On the 4th of May the Regiment accompanied an expedition, commanded by General McArthur, to Yazoo City, and participated in the battles of Benton, Vaughn's Station and Deasonville, and drove the enemy from Yazoo City, and occupied the place several days. On the night of May 17 a large portion of the city was burned. The Regiment returned to Vicksburg May 21, and occupied its camp on the hills until June 16, when it was moved to Mount Albans, on the railroad between Vicksburg and the Big Black River. On the 28th moved back to Vicksburg, and camped near its old quarters. On July 1, 1864, the Regiment started on an expedition to Jackson, commanded by General Slocum. On its return the command was met between Jackson and Clinton by the enemy, and a sharp battle was fought on the 6th, and renewed on the 7th, when the Seventy-sixth, which bore a prominent part in the engagement, was cut off from the balance of the command, but cut its way out, losing one hundred and two men, sixteen of whom were reported killed and left on the field, and eighty-six wounded and missing. The Regiment returned to Vicksburg July 9, much fatigued. On July 29 the Regiment embarked, and was run down the river on a marine boat to Morganzia; landed there, and remained camped along the levee until August 23, when it embarked and was transported down the river to Port Hudson; landed and marched, with five days' rations, in great haste, night and day, to Clinton, expecting to annihilate the enemy in that vicinity, but he fled before the Yankee hosts. The Regiment returned to Morganzia, arriving there August 29, foot-sore and weary. On September 3 the Regiment embarked on the steamer "Nebraska", and moved up the Mississippi River to the mouth of White River, landed and camped on the Arkansas shore, and remained until October 18, when it was ordered to Memphis, Tenn., but returned October 28, and occupied there until November 7, when it embarked and moved up White River to Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas, where it built neat log cabins, and fixed to say; but, in obedience to orders, it broke up its pleasant camp on the 28th, embarked, and was landed at Memphis, Tenn., on the 30th, and camped in the environs of the city; remained there until December 31, 1864, and was then ordered to embark on the steamer "Niagara" for New Orleans, at which place it arrived January 4, 1865, and went into camp a few miles above the city, at Kenner, behind the levee, where the mud was almost fathomless. Remained there until February 12, when the Regiment was ordered to embark on Gulf steamers and proceed across the Gulf to Mobile Point. The Regiment was divided and carried on three different crafts. The "George Peabody" carried the Regimental Headquarters, with four companies of the Seventy-sixth, and parts of other regiments, and a large number of horses, mules and wagons. A terrible storm on the Gulf nearly wrecked the craft. The horses, mules and wagons were consigned to the deep, and the boat was barely gotten back to the Mississippi River with its human freight. Went back to New Orleans, crossed over to Lake Pontchartrain, embarked on the steamer "Alice Vivian", and moved by the lakes to Fort Morgan, and from there to Fort Barrancas, near Pensacola, Florida, where the Regiment was again united, February 18, and went into camp and remained there until March 11, when the camp was moved to Pensacola. On March 20 the Regiment started with General Steel's expedition to Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely, near Mobile, Alabama. Traveled through pine swamps, corduroying the quicksand roads as it moved along, and fighting the enemy in front, until April 1, when the Army approached Blakely, and on the 2d drove the enemy inside his fortifications. General Steel's forces united with General Canby's and General Granger's, from Fort Morgan. April 8 Spanish Fort was captured, and April 9 the Seventy-sixth participated in the charge on Fort Blakely, capturing the entire garrison. The colors of the Seventy-sixth were the first planted on the enemy's works. The Regiment lost in this, the last battle of the war, seventeen killed and eighty-one wounded. Among the latter was the colonel of the Regiment, who was painfully wounded while gallantly leading his men in the assault. The Regiment camped inside the fortifications until April 20, when it was transported to Mobile. On the 22d of April the Regiment accompanied a fleet of steamers, loaded with soldiers, up the Alabama River, General Steel in command; landed at Selma, Alabamba, April 28; remained there until May 11, and was then ordered back to Mobile, and camped near the city. Remained there doing duty until the latter part of June, when it was ordered to Galveston, Texas, where it remained until July 22, and was then mustered out, and ordered to Chicago, Illinois, where it was paid off, and disbanded August 4, 1865. The Regiment had traveled over ten thousand miles. Received one hundred and fifty-six recruits, who were transferred, on its muster out, to the Thirty-seventh Illinois Infantry.

Until his death, my grandfather worked on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Although he didn't have time to travel much, my mother and grandmother enjoyed a free ride. Most of these postcards were mailed back home to him.

The Traverse City State Hospital, Traverse City, Michigan is a decommissioned psychiatric hospital that has been variously known as the Northern Michigan Asylum and the Traverse City Regional Psychiatric Hospital. It was one of three psychiatric hospitals in the state, in addition to those in Kalamazoo and Pontiac. The hospital opened in 1885 with 43 residents. {{Image|file=Wittbrodt-41.jpg |align=r |size=l |caption=Traverse City State Hospital postcard circa 1930 }} Under Dr. James Decker Munson, the first superintendent from 1885 to 1924, the institution expanded. It became the city's largest employer and contributed to its growth. In the 1930s three large college-like buildings were constructed near the present site of the Munson Hospital parking deck and the Grand Traverse Pavilions. It is good to know that Dr. James Decker Munson believed in beauty as therapy philosophy before the advent of drug therapy in the 1950s. Under his leadership, patients were treated through kindness, comfort, pleasure, and beautiful flowers provided year-round by the asylum's own greenhouses and the variety of trees Munson planted on the grounds. Restraints, such as the straitjacket, were forbidden. Also, as part of the "work is therapy" philosophy, the asylum provided opportunities for patients to gain a sense of purpose through farming, furniture construction, fruit canning, and other trades that kept the institution fully self-sufficient. The asylum farm began in 1885 with the purchase of some milk cows and within a decade grew to include pigs, chickens, milk and meat cows, and many vegetable fields. In the 1910s-30s, the farm was home to a world champion milk cow, Traverse Colantha Walker. Her grave is at the end of the dirt trail between the farm and the asylum. {{Image|file=Wittbrodt-41-1.jpg |align=l |size=l |caption=The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, formerly the Traverse City State Hospital }} While the hospital was established for the care of the mentally ill, its use expanded during outbreaks of tuberculosis, typhoid, diphtheria, influenza, and polio. It also cared for the elderly, served as a rehab for drug addicts, and was used to train nurses. After Munson's retirement, James Decker Munson Hospital was established in his honor on the grounds in 1926, and was operated by the state well after his death and into the 1950s. It was then replaced by Munson Medical Center in the 1950s, the largest hospital in northern Michigan and one of the largest in the state. A portrait of Dr. Munson hangs inside the main lobby of Munson Medical Center. By the time it closed in 1989, pieces of the property had been split between Munson hospital, the Pavilions, Garfield Township and (later) T.M.G. Today it has been refurbished as The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, with many shops and residential apartments. It is the last Kirkbride Building of Michigan's original four left in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and is also designated a Michigan State Historic Site as of 1985. The detailing of this brick building is Victorian Italianate. With the exception of the change in the center section, Building 50 stands pretty much as it has since the 1910's. Building 50 was built of yellow-white brick which was cast at the Markham brickworks located in Greilickville, which is now a suburb to the northwest of Traverse City. A temporary rail line was used at one time to bring the bricks from the foundry to the construction site. The "cottages" were also constructed of this brick, as were a few other buildings including the two small root cellar/stables.

Welcome - thanks for your interest in the Treat One Name Study. I am brand new at this, but I have been quietly collecting and trying to improve Treat profiles for the past several years. I am hoping that by expanding the scope and getting more people involved will make even more improvements possible. Some projects I have been doing on my own that are candidates for expansion: *Adopting orphan Treat profiles *Sourcing and connecting Treat profiles *Trying to confirm the relationship between the Northern Treats (New York, Pennsylvania) and the ones that moved to Arkansas. I know we are connected by DNA. *Mapping DNA relationships *Discovering Treat branches in other countries. Seems like Canada and Australia would be prime candidates. In the long run, I am interested in trying to confirm the relationship between the US Treats and the ancestors documented in the Treat biography and documented here of Wikitree, but I am not an experienced researcher in English genealogy. If you have comments or suggestions, please let me know. And, if you are interested in this family name, please join the study!

'''Tree of Jesse''' The '''Tree of Jesse''' is a depiction in art of the ancestors of '''Christ,''' shown in a tree which rises from '''Jesse''' of '''Bethlehem,''' the '''father''' of '''King David''' and is the original use of the family tree as a schematic representation of a genealogy. It originates in a passage in the biblical '''Book of Isaiah''' which describes metaphorically the descent of the '''Messiah,''' and is accepted by ''Christians as referring to Jesus.'' The various figures depicted in the ''lineage of Jesus'' are drawn from those names listed in the '''Gospel of Matthew''' and the '''Gospel of Luke.'''

There are various detailed accounts of this. Diana Trenchard writes of it in Women of Dorset 1991. There is also an online account http://www.leshaigh.co.uk/notesstories/tregonwell.html This appears to come verbatim from Notes and Queries which is now on Find my Past (don't have access) will try to find it at the Dorchester History Centre ''Tregonwell v. Martin [Star Chamber Proceedings I 20/99] John Tregonwell of Mylton, Esq., states that Sir John Tregonwell, knt. (deceased) was, besides other lands, seized in fee of a great barne and 600 acres of arable in Mylton alias Mydleton which plaintiff as “cosen” and heir–at–law of Sir John, being son and heir of Thomas Tregonwell, Esq., decd., who was son and heir of Sir John, claimed by right of descent. But on the 11th day of December in the 16th year of Queen Elizabeth, James Martyn of Mylton, gent., George Bingham of Mylton, gent, John Wytterage of Mylton, yeoman, Christopher Devoll of Mylton, yeoman, John Chesman of Southover, husbandman, Rychard Moryshe of Mylton, husbandman, Humphrie Squibb of Melcombe, yeoman, John Melemouth of Mylton, husbandman, Henry Haley, William Hix of Melcombe, husbandman, John Chapman of Mylton, Jollefe Maypowder of Mylton, labourer, riotously assembled to disseise plaintiff of the barn and land, and a great quantity of corn in the barn valued at 550 marks. ''These persons “about 12 o′clock in the dead and deepe of the night ” arrived with bows, arrows, guns, swords, bills “and great long staves with pykes of stele in thend” and shouting and howling marched towards the barn. Two of the plaintiff′s servants were at the barn and after the rioters had broken open the door one of the plaintiff′s servants named Thomas Kexston was “deadly wounded and is not likely to recover” and the other Walter Bearde “with a sheaf of arrowes was fast nayled to the wall.” Subsequently the whole town was raysed and the constables and inhabitants dispersed the rioters. ''Some defendants (whose names are missing) answer that the barn and lands were not justly the property of plaitiff till the death of Dame Elizabeth Tregonwell widow of Sir John. Plaintiff is stated to have treated Dame Elizabeth discourteously and to have “presumed to beate and wound one of the manuel servants of Dame Elizabeth within her dwelling home where complainant was very friendly enterteyned” and also had maintained against Dame Elizabeth “an evill dyspozed woman comenlie taken, reputed and named in that countrey to be a witche.” ''Dame Elizabeth had granted the barne and land in trust to Richard Rogers and Thomas Moreton Esqrs. and William Sommaster gent. ''Thus ends the first law–suit and there was peace for eight years. ''The mention of William Sommaster suggests how an agreement was reached between the parties, for the young squire John Tregonwell was married to Anne, daughter of William Sommaster of Samborne, Hants, and doubtless got his barn and broad acres with her as a dowry. ''In the next legal procedings the Martins take the initiative. The old dowager Lady Elizabeth Tregonwell had at last died. Her son Nicholas Martin was not satisfied with what he got under her will so to law they went again and Nicholas made sure of an easy victory, as John Tregonwell was an invalid (and soon afterwards died). But, John′s wife proved herself a match for the high Sheriff and all his deputies. ''Witness the following:– Martyn v. Tregonwell [Star Chamber M. 16/3 & 46/7] “Nicholas Martyn, Esq., Sheriff of Dorset, in consequence of a judgement against John Tregonwell of Melton, Esq., by the former′s under Sheriff, Edmund Huntley and by oaths of William Strangways and others seized in execution 128 hogge sheep, 9 rams, 5 wethers, 240 ewe sheep, 120 lambs, 3 colts, 1 gelding, 6 kyne, 1 bull and 1 yerling bullock the property of Tregonwell. In company with Huntley were Edmund Huntley his son, and Henry Chipley and Walter Crabbe plaintiffs servants. But Anne Tregonwell defendants wife with several persons had rescued the said cattle by force and Anne is said to have thrown stones at the Under Sheriff.” ''Who says Dorset ladies were the ‘weake vessels’ in those days?

{{Estimated Date|Birth}} ==Origins== ===Norman Extraction=== Writing in 1846, John Gough Nichols wrote that it was highly probable that "the noble family of Tregoze is of Norman extraction." Nichols, 124. ===The Place=== Loyd suggests that the name Tresgoz comes from Troisgots, located in the canton of Tessy-sur-Vire, arrondissement Saint-Lô, in the present-day French département of Manche[180]. Cawley, citation 180 The family name appearilng as Tregoz, Tresgoz, Treygoze, etc, is derived from Tregots, now Troisgots, near St. Lo in the Department of Manche in Normandy. Salzman, 34 ===Branches=== There were 3 branches of this family. This one was based in East Anglia. A second one was based in Herefordshire, and a third branch in Goring, Sussex. Cawley :The Herefordshire branch ended with two daughters, Clarissa who married Roger de La Warre, and Sybilla who married a Grandison. ==Arrival at Hastings== In the family legend, the Tregoz family crossed the Channel with William the Conqueror in 1066. Nichols stated that '''Le Sire de Tregoz''' was at Hastings in 1066, based on the appearance of Le Sire in "John Foxe's copy of Battle Abbey Roll" or rather his "List of noble Normans who settled in England at the Conquest." Nichols adds that "Leland's copy of the Roll of Battle Abbey (which indeed is the best; for that eminent antiquary saw and transcribed the original), confirms John Foxe's, after its rhyming fashion; assuring us that there were there, "Gurney et Greilly, Tregos et Trylly." ===Le Sire de Tregoz=== Nichols presents Le Sire de Tregoz as the originator of the family. He asserts that Le Sire de Tregoz was at Hastings in 1066, appearing on John Foxe's copy of the Battle Abbey Roll. Nichols, Volume II, 124 .Le Sire's birth year would thus be estimated as, say, 1040 Salzman, however, notes that 'there is no evidence in Domesday Book or elsewhere that he acquired any estate in this country. ===1070 William de Tregoz=== [[Tregoz-48|William de Tregoz]], flouished in the reign of Henry I. Estimate William's birth as, say, 1070, calculating back from his descendants. Nichols stated that "Sire de Tregoz" was "unquestionably" father of William de Trewgoz, who flourished in the reign of Henry I, and of whom the great Pipe Roll of 31 Hen 1 (1130-1) makes much mention. Nichols adds that this "document Sir William Dugdale, in his Baronage (1675), invariably refers to as of .. '5th Stephen, and this, because the roll was . considered of that date in his early life, though Prynne, and all antiquaries of any talent, acuteness, or discrimination, had determined it of Henry the First's reign in 1668, seven years before." The first member of the family documented in England was William de Tresgoz who in 1130 held land in Essex and Norfolk. There was a Robert de Tresgoz, contemporary with William, who gave land at St. Croix (Calvadox) to the Abbey of St. Stephen at Caen, when, shortly before his death, he became a monk there; this gift was among those confirmed to the abbey by Henry II in 1156. This Robert is most likely related to William, but the nature of the relationship is unknown. Nichols states that "The said Pipe Roll of 31 Hen. I. proves William Tregoz to have been a man of much consequence, and to have been concerned in Norfolk, Essex, Berks, and Lincolnshire; and, moreover, that he then had the lands of William Peverell, of London, in farm. Tregoz married and had issue, and very probably that Agnes Tregoz, who we find living in 9th Ric. I. as concerned in Norfolk and Essex, was his widow. His issue were, apparently, three sons and one daughter. ==How Normandy was Lost== Loyd explained the surname and connection to Normandy: :"In 1172 William de Tresgot owed the service of one and a half knights in the Cotentin. He was succeeded by Robert de Tresgoz, probably his son, who was bailiff of the Cotentin in 1195 and under John, and who held lands in many English counties. Robert adhered to John and lost his lands in Normandy; and in the Registers of Philip Augustus there is the entry ''Feodum de Tresgoz quod dominus rex tenet per escaetam debet servicium unius militis et dimidium.'' By a charter dated at Paris in Nov, 1218 Philip Augustus gave to Miles de Levis the usufruct of the land which Robert de Tregots had possessed at Tregots, Favarches, and St-Romphaire. Favarches is the next commune to Troisgots, and St-Romphaire is close by. There was a castle at Troisgots, described by Gerville." Loyd, 106 ==The First Five Generations== The said Pipe Roll of 31 Hen I proves William Tregoz to have been a man of much consequence, and to have been concerned in Norfolk, eSSex, Berks, and Lincolnshire; and moreover, tht he then had the lands of William Peverell, of London, in farm. Tregoz married and had issue, and very probably that Agnes Tregoz, who we find living in 9th Ric. I as concerned in Norfolk and Essex, was his widow. His issue were, apparently, three sons and a daughter.. Below is an outline of the first five generations in WikiTree; Salzman notes that Robert (II), John (III), and Philip (IV) Tregoz were certainly brothers, and all four, including Geoffrey (I) were probably sons of William. #[[Tregoz-48|William]] (Tregoz-48) 1105-1172.

'''La question qui tue: où étaitent-îls?''' Utiliser le terme CONFIRMÉE pour une situation hors de tout doute. =Les prénoms des Ancêtres du pionnier Pierre Tremblay1626= Une coutume que j'ai remarquée dans nos familles Québécoises d'antan était que les descendants aimaient bien donner comme prénom a leurs enfants, celui d'ancêtres. Ainsi, chez les Tremblay descendants de Pierre, nous retrouvons la plupart des prénoms des ancêtres Tremblay de Randonnai. La reprise de ces prénoms, vient donc apporter une certaine preuve d'appartenance à la famille. Ainsi, l'ancêtre Pierre 1626, a donné comme prénoms à certains de ses enfants, ceux de la famille de Randonnai: Jacques, Marguerite, Louis, Louise, et Michel. Ses fils qui suivent ont donné des prénoms en mémoire d'ancêtres de Randonnai: Pierre 1660: Pierre,Rosalie, Étienne, Louis, Nicolas, Jean, et Marie. Louis 1667: Louise, Rosalie, Louis, Guillaume, Étienne et André. Naturellement, d'autres prénoms furent donnés aux autres enfants, vue la grandeur des familles d'antan. '''Famille de Randonnai:''' Partant de Gervais, on lui connaît 4 fils: Jacques, Jean, Étienne, et André. Jean a eu 1 fils, Louis, dont les enfants furent: Étienne, Anne, Claude, Nicolas, et Rodolphe.

Tremosine, Italy, is the ''comune'' (a town or municipality) from which many Italian immigrants came to settle in North Adams and the surrounding area around the beginning of the 1900's. It has been said that North Adams' hilly setting, bracketed by mountains all around, evoked memories of the immigrants' homeland, nestled in the northeast of Italy in the foothills of the Alps. Tremosine is divided into 18'' frazioni'' (wards or villages), so, some native Italians' places of birth are listed as Tremosine where others are listed by their ''frazioni''. (See [[Wikipedia: Tremosine| Tremosine]]) In ''Tremosine: Lombard Voices from America,'' author Clara Pilotti (translated by Luciano Farina) says economic hardships forced emigration on a lot of young men. Usually, their goal was to work for a few years or so and then, either send the money back to Italy to pay their debts, pay off their mortgage--or pay the passage for other members of their family. It looks like the latter happened in my wife's grandfather's case. (See [[Cozzaglio-5|Stefano Cozzaglio]]) {{Image|file=Cozzaglio-5-3.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=My wife's grandfather and mother, Stefano and Margherita Cozzaglio. }} "Emigrants from this area began in the mid-nineteenth century and intensified between 1901 and 1915," wrote Pilotti. This fits with my wife's grandfather, whose immigration record dates 1905. "The town and villages around it were totally isolated," Pilotti said, "and their inhabitants needed to walk down a steep and stony path in the wee hours of the morning to reach the few factories that provided some of the lucky ones with work and barely ensured the survival of a local generation." '''How North Adams, MA became connected to Tremosine''' Most of North Adams' Italians came from the Tremosine area. My cousin Jack married Jean Kent, whose mother was Alma Bertoldi, who came from the same area. Where Tremonsine was on the Brescia (west) side of Lake Garda, the Bertoldis came from Limone, further north on the shore line (look at the map, just north of Tremosine). I asked Jack if they had a theory about why the people of Tremosine came to North Adams, of all places. He said there was a man named '''Constante Rosasco''', an ancestor of Ernie Rosasco, the judge and one time mayor of North Adams, who was one of the first from the Tremosine area to settle in North Adams (1864). Constantine paid for, sponsored, and otherwise helped a lot of Italian families get settled in North Adams. There were the railroad and mining jobs for the men. This was even before the cotton mills, which later hired a lot of women. But over and over again, it comes up how much the Northern Berkshire valley looks like Tremosine. Jean Swift said that when she visited her ancestral home in Italy, there was a downhill street she walked that made her think about walking downhill from Walnut Street to State Street in North Adams. (Two houses on the top of Walnut St. and Furnace St. were constructed by the Bertoldis and the Vivoris, who were related by marriage.) The mountains in the Berkshires are not as striking as the Alps, of course, but the way they surround North Adams gives them a similar feel. '''Killer flu epidemics''' I told Jack what I had learned so far was that poverty was the main reason for the exodus of so many young men and their families from the Tremosine area. North Adams is filled with their descendants. But Jack added another reason. He said while World War I was going on, Europe was being swept over and over again with killer flus, like the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 that killed so many in the United States. {{Image|file=Scriven_Ancestry_Timeline-7.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=flu ward. }}He said it was worse in that part of Italy, on the southern slopes of the Alps. So many people lost family members, young children especially, that many, like Jean’s Bertoldi ancestor, left for America with the intention of making enough money to go back and bring his family here. When he got back to Italy, his wife became pregnant right away, so his return to the States was delayed. (Women couldn’t immigrate if they were pregnant.) That baby was Jean Swift’s grandmother. When Jack and Jean went back to visit, they found the actual house her grandmother was born in. '''Italian Emigrants in North Adams''' Constante Rosasco is listed as the first Italian immigrant to come to North Adams, Massachusetts. He came alone to North Adams in 1864. He left his wife and son Giovanni in Italy. Back in North Adams, he opened the first business owned by an Italian, a grocery store on Spring Street. Once he was financially stable, he went back to Italy and returned with his family to North Adams in 1871. He and his son were well known by the Italian immigrants because, when they came to North Adams, many people came to the Rosascos to get help. “Many of the immigrants had heard that there was money on the streets ready to be raked up.” Constante’s son Giovanni Rosasco went to work for the North Adams Police force, starting as a patrolman and working his way up to Police Chief. “In order to solve disputes between town folks, he would often convene court at his house at night. Some of his other jobs included teaching classes in American Citizenship and being an advocate and advisor for many of the Italian immigrants when they came to North Adams. [https://sites.google.com/site/lafave5968/constanterosasco] Constante's grandson, Judge Ernie Rosasco was cut from the same bolt of cloth. When my wife's mother wanted to learn how to drive, it was Ernie who volunteered to do it. And when my wife's mother was feeling the crush of medical bills after her husband's bout with cancer, Ernie was the one who suggested that she simply ignore those bills. She did, and nothing ever came of it. (Who knows what he did behind the scenes?) From what I've heard, Judge Rosasco was instrumental in smoothing the way for many an Italian family in North Adams. After all, it was in his bloodline. “The reason that most of the Italians came over to America is because they were known to have large families and the wages over in Italy weren't supporting their families. When they got here, the life of many Italians was extremely difficult because, unlike the French-Canadians and Irish immigrants for example, they did not have a church, a ritual that held them together. There was also prejudice, ethnic and otherwise. Some were reluctant to give laborer jobs to Italians because they were generally small of stature-- and were thought to be unable to work as hard as other ethnic groups." Italian families liked to celebrate holidays and special occasions and have huge dinners with lots of food. Pasta was a staple. They were granted permission from the French-Canadians to use their church to hold Italian speaking Masses while they built their own church on Marshall St. (This was near the site of the present St. Elizabeth’s Church, which before its rechristening, was named St. Anthony of Padua.) In 1901, May 25th, Father Pillera performed the 1st Italian marriage, and on July 2, 1906, they dedicated the newly built church and said the first Mass. By 1910, 16% of North Adams was Italian. After the first church burned down around 1950, money was raised to build the present church. Among the reasons why the Italians migrated from Italy to America was generational poverty in spite of hard work and also the rigid social system. “Most of the people worked as farmers or had land to grow grain for their homemade pasta, figs, dates, grapes, and most important, olives. They would use some of their crops and market the rest for a little income. Once Italians were in North Adams, their jobs were mostly working on construction projects like railroads, buildings, and street paving. {{Image|file=Scriven_Ancestry_Timeline-4.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Western gateway of Hoosac Tunnel. }} However, the biggest project they were involved in was building the Hoosac [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosac_Tunnel|Hoosac Tunnel]]. Once it was finished in 1875, it was the second longest tunnel in the world. It took almost 25 years to build. Some other Italians were experienced stone carvers; others worked in the cotton mills and other factories. [https://sites.google.com/site/lafave5968/home] Women had their own skill sets, too. There was the tragi-comic story from my mother-in-law's side of the family how, one day, a local Italian woman's house caught on fire. The fire department came, and she begged them to rescue this big trunk, filled, she said, with irreplaceable heirlooms. Well, the firemen got the trunk out, and the lady confided later that it was filled with ''grappa.'' She, like many good Italian homemakers had been running a still on the side to bring in a little extra money--and the trunk, with its bottles of ''grappa'' inside, was the only thing standing between her and poverty after the fire. Dr. Tom Maseli, my former student and now our family optometrist, tells stories of how excited people in Tremosine would be when word spread that there was an Italian descendant from North Adams visiting. It was not unusual, he said, for people like his sister (who visited a number of times) to be swept up by one local family or another who ''insisted'' that they lodge with them instead of staying at a hotel. They would especially like cooking for their American visitors. (As anyone who knows Italian-Americans, cooking is a way of showing their love.) Some of this hospitality is no doubt a cultural thing. But part of it was also due to how common it was for immigrants to send packages of clothing and other necessities back to their homeland. When one of these packages arrived, it was turned into quite a celebration because of what was in the package and, sometimes, because of the urgency of their need. '''Sister Cities''' {{Image|file=Tremosine_Italy-1.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Sign proclaims North Adams' link to Tremosine }} It's no wonder that the relationship between Tremosine and North Adams was finally formalized in 2005 when they became Sister Cities. In an interview for the Berkshire Eagle [[http://www.berkshireeagle.com/stories/north-adams-elementary-students-say-ciao-to-italian-sister-city,166479]] posted on Feb. 9, 2016, it said, "The two municipalities officially established a bond in 2005, according to Edward "Ed" Morandi, a member of the North Adams Sister City Committee." (The article covered how, "As part of the after school program, North Adams children exchanged letters and handmade gifts with students at the Scuola Primaria Luciano Turri.") {{Image|file=Tremosine_Italy-6.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Moresi (right) speaks at local board of health. }} Dr. John Moresi led North Adams groups back to Tremosine for years before he died. [http://www.iberkshires.com/story/155/North-Adams-Notes-7-19-2000.html] He gave lectures and slide shows based on his visits over a span of 40 years about his ancestors' homeland. “Before I start any of my talks on Italy and Italian cultures, I always like to respect and to honor our ancestors when I say that I was privileged to be born the son of Italian immigrants,” he said. “I only realized that when, supposedly, I became an educated man. One does not realize, until you’ve lived it, the courage, the innate genius that many of these people had.” "Moresi spoke of [[Cozzaglio-50|'''Arturo Cozzaglio''']], {{Image|file=Cozzaglio-50-2.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption="Arturo's steps" }}the ancestor of many people by the same name in our area. [I could not substantiate a ''direct'' line to my wife's family by Tremosine birth records, however.] Cozzaglio's background was geology, but he functioned more as a civil engineer who, along with much of the clergy, came up with a design for a road leading from the local port on up the difficult terrain to the villages above. “He was a man who was considered a genius,” Moresi said. Among Cozzaglio’s many works was to find ruins in the area of the ancient Etruscan civilization, which predates the Romans." [http://www.iberkshires.com/story/155/North-Adams-Notes-7-19-2000.html] {{Image|file=Tremosine_Italy-7.jpg |caption=Piazza Cozzaglio }} One interesting story he told was of Italian longevity in nearby Limone (mentioned earlier in connection with my cousin's wife, Jean Kent Swift). "The town of Limone on the shore of Lake Garda: Limone’s very interesting because ... the people live to a very, very old age. They have cholesterol levels that are right through the ceiling ... [300], 400-plus. Enough that would make American doctors really go nuts. But you know what, they hardly have any cardiovascular disease," Moresi said. "A study of the people of Limone found out that they have a special enzyme in their blood, which some biotech companies are trying to synthesize. But people from the town attribute their health and longevity to the oil of Limone, a local olive oil of which they are very proud," he said. Showing a slide of small villages up in the mountains, the scene [was] somewhat similar to our area. “This is where many of our folks came from. See a parallel with North Adams? See why maybe they came here? The geography is very similar,” Moresi said, noting that one can find similar gardens among families of Italian ancestry on Walnut Street in North Adams" even today. [http://www.iberkshires.com/story/155/North-Adams-Notes-7-19-2000.html] '''The California Cozzaglios''' It seems like most of the Cozzaglios from Tremosine ended up in Western Massachusetts--with one notable exception. This exception was a family group who ended up in California. It looks like Angelo Cozzaglio (1865 - 1945) was one of the first, if not the first. Where my wife's Cozzaglio descendants from Giobatta Cozzaglio (1844-1912) migrated from Tremosine to western Massachusetts, his brother Francesco Cozzaglio (1846-1920) may have been a miner in Plumas Co, California by 1880 (But his DOB, 1859, may mean it is a like-named, different person. Meanwhile, there is a passenger list showing he immigrated from Naples to New York in 1921. But, even though his hometown is listed as Tremosine, his father's name is listed as "Fausto," not Angelo.) Angelo Cozzaglio (1864-1945), a third brother, has better data to prove his residence in California. According to one family researcher, "Angelo Jr. arrived in New York in 1884 and was in northern California by the early 1890s. He married Angelina Rose SOBRERO in 1894 in Genesee, Plumas County, California. Over the years, Angelo worked mostly as a laborer, but at one point was listed in a census as a gold miner. It probably was gold that brought Angelo west in the first place. I'm sure that he, like so many others, learned that very few fortunes were made by gold miners." (See [[Cozzaglio-37| Angelo Cozzaglio II]]) One of Francesco Cozzaglio's (1846-1920) daughters, Margaret "Maggie" A. Cozzaglio was born in Mezzema, which is one of the little communes that make up Tremosine. It is only one kilometer or less out of the big main city of Tremosine, Pieve, Italy, according to her granddaughter, Maggie. She married a man named Giovanni Savoldi (1887-1995). Their grandchild is Maggie Savoldi Censullo (1947--) who Ancestry lists as my wife, Peggy's, third cousin. {{Image|file=Tremosine_Italy-2.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Street sign in lower right says, "a cozzaglio" . }} Maggie made a trip to Tremosine and found a street named after Arturo Cozzaglio. It was one of those winding, narrow ways so typical of Italian towns and villages. If you look at the accompanying photo, the street sign says, "a cozzaglio." Maggie said the "a" could be for "allea" cozzaglio, which is one of many words they have for "street." But, more likely than not, the "a" stands for "Arturo," his first name since "street" in Tremosine is either ''via'' or ''viccolo'' or for a big one, ''strada'' or ''viale''. So the "a" is probably for Arturo cozzaglio...naming a street for him. (Maggie's email, 6/11/2020) Maggie Censullo told this colorful story of what she saw when she visited her grandmother's place of birth (email, 5/9/2020): "My nonna, Domenica Cozzaglio Savoldi, was born in Mezzema, which is one of the little communes that make up Tremosine. It is only one kilometer or less out of the main city of Tremosine, Pieve. I saw the hut where she grew up. It looked like something out of [the movie] ''Heidi.'' Animals lived below and family slept up above on straw. You climbed a rustic ladder [to get to the living area]. As she grew up, the family gave up goat herding and moved into the city of Tremosine, Pieve. When I visited, Mezzema was right outside city limits, bordering the main city. You only had to walk a short distance, but technically, that is where she was born. We stayed in her youngest sister's house, Antonia ("Pina") Cozzaglio Berasi . Photos of my father as a young boy were all over house! Pinned to [the] wall! I saw rabbits in the yard behind the apartment, and Giofranco Berasi ( Pina's son) told me [those] rabbits were raised for stew!" See "Tremosine, Garda's Paradise" [http://www.infotremosine.it/Lake-Garda/gallery_en.html] for a gallery of photos.

My GG Grandmother, Tressa (Dvorak) Dopkins died when my G Grandfather was only 2 years old and he was adopted by his paternal Aunt and Uncle. Because of this, we have no family history beyond Tressa's parents. We have spent years trying to figure out this important part of our lost family history. Here's what we know: Josef (Jozef, Jozeph, Joseph) Dvorak (multiple spellings) (1828-1912) and Frantiska (Franciska, Frances) Josepha Nachazel (1836-1900) had 2 daughters, Katerina (Katherine) Josephine (1856-1944) and Anna (1859) in Central Bohemia, Austria. They immigrated to Wisconsin, had children and then my GG Grandmother, Tressa Dvorak was born in 1878 in River Falls, Wisconsin. She married George H Dopkins and had 1 son, my G Grandfather, Charles Michael Dopkins (1898-1933) After adopted, they added McCue surname as 2nd last name) George was of a different religion/nationality and this caused the Dvorak family to disown her. Tressa was a few months pregnant when she died in 1899, in Pierce County, Wisconsin. We still can not confirm where she is buried, which is our other family goal, to ensure she is given a proper headstone so she won't be forgotten. We still can not discover Joseph or Frantiska's parents or anyone in this lineage line above them, but we haven't stopped searching, despite years of effort without resolution. Thanks.

So, this is confusing! There may be 3 or even 4 different Richard Trezise's residing in or near St Agnes, all possibly having children born around the same time. I am going to attempt to break it down here, see what we have.

It is also likely that Richard (1683) and (1686) are the fathers of Richard (1704) and (1709).

Could be the Richard Trezise that married Amy (Mitchel) in 1715/16
''Did this couple have any children? There are no children baptised to Richard from 1712 to 1730''
''Amy Trezise, widow, was buried in St Agnes on 10 Dec 1750.'' This process leaves me with Richard 1704 and children Thomas 1730, Mary 1734, Mary 1735 and Katherine 1736 unaccounted for.
Perhaps they are the children of this Richard?

'''Associated with the [[Project:DNA|DNA project]].''' == Triangulator Badge (Autosomal)== The Triangulator Badge is awarded to WikiTreers who have mastered the complex concept/theory of autosomal DNA triangulation and applied it on WikiTree to mark profiles as [[Help:Confirmed_with_DNA|"Confirmed with DNA"]]. To be eligible, the member needs to have added the appropriate citations for each parent-child relationship for three or more distant cousins (beyond 3rd cousins) who share a phased segment measuring 10cM or more back to their shared ancestral couple as explained in the triangulation instructions on [[Help:DNA_Confirmation|DNA Confirmation]]. In addition, so that the badge committee can confirm the triangulation: #all three tests need to be on GEDmatch, and #all three relationships trails to the common ancestor or common ancestral couple need to be on WikiTree, are sourced and the profiles are set to public family trees. ===Requesting the badge=== Are you a triangulator? If so you're a valuable contributor to our single family tree project and we thank you for it! To get the Triangulator badge, please answer this G2G post. Be sure to include: #Your WikiTree ID. #The IDs of profiles in the triangulated group that have been marked as Confirmed with DNA (that they are further than third Cousins) and their GEDMatch ID's #The WikiTree ID for the MCRA. #That your Limbs are well sourced. #That all of your DNA Confirmed Status indicators are correct (Check your Suggestions reports for the 213 and 313) Information on WikiTree's standard for triangulation can be found on the DNA Confirmation Help Page.

'''[[Poindexter-1263|Abram Maer Poindexter, D. D.]]''' The Baptist Encyclopedia, 1881, page 924 '''The Baptist encyclopaedia''' : a dictionary ... of the general history of the Baptist denomination in all lands; with numerous biographical sketches of distinguished American and foreign Baptists, and a supplement by Cathcart, William, 1826-1908. Page 924. Published 1881, Publisher, Philadelphia : Louis H. Everts. Internet Archive. ::Abram Maer Poindexter, D.D., was born in Bertie Co., N.C., Sept. 22, 1809. His father was the Rev. Richard Poindexter, of Louisa Co., Va., who, on the occasion of his marriage with Mrs. Jordan, of North Carolina, removed to that State. ::Young Poindexters early educational advantages were good, and he applied himself closely to the ordinary studies preliminary to a college course. While still quite young he entered the Columbian College, but owing to feeble health his studies there were interrupted, and after a brief period he was compelled to abandon them and return to his home. ::In 1831 he made a profession of religion; in 1832 he was licensed to preach, and in 1834 he was ordained to the work of the gospel ministry. ::For some time before his ordination he was the companion, student, and co-laborer of the Rev. A.W. Clopton, the popular and useful pastor of Baptist churches in Charlotte Co., Va., from whose gifted mind and heart, as well as varied and ripe experience in pastoral duties, he derived valuable and life-long impressions for good. ::Quite early in life Dr. Poindexter married Mrs. Eliza Craddock, a lady of great excellence of character, after which he resided in Halifax Co., Va., where most of his mature life was spent. ::From the very beginning of his ministry he displayed unusual talents, and was esteemed the most promising young minister of his time. As a preacher, Dr. Poindexter was deservedly held in very high regard, especially with large out-door assemblies, such as convene at Associational meetings. On such occasions his preaching was frequently distinguished by great fluency and power of speech, unusual vigor and depth of thought, a beautiful logical consecutiveness in the development of truth, and an earnestness and impetuosity of manner that swayed and moved the masses with resistless power. ::As a thinker he had but few equals. His intellect was clear, active, strong, and original. His thoughts were pre-eminently his own. He called no man master, excepting always the great Teacher. ::As an extemporaneous debater he stood almost alone among disputants; and so accurate was his method, so precise his arguments, so correct his style, that a verbatim report of his remarks would rarely require the least revision for publication. ::As an agent for the Columbian and Richmond Colleges he was greatly successful, while as secretary of the Southern Baptist Publication Society, and afterwards as co-secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, he won a noble reputation for energy and executive ability. ::His impressive appeals in behalf of missions and education stimulated the zeal, enlisted the interest, and secured the contributions of large numbers throughout the South, and gave an impetus to those causes which they still feel. ::He was a man of deep convictions and intense feeling. His words were indeed the outer image of his inmost soul. ::He believed, and therefore he spoke; and when he spoke men had no hesitation in saying, here is a Christian man who will part with his life rather than with his convictions of right and duty. ::Dr. Poindexter, like many of his brethren in the ministry, was called, in the providence of God, to pass through dark waters of affliction. Two promising sons were taken from him during the war, one by the accidental discharge of his own pistol, and the other at the head of his company, by a bullet of the enemy. ::The ravages of war swept away his estate; and to crown his sorrows his estimable wife soon passed away from his desolated home, leaving among the wrecks an only daughter, who has, since died, who was married to the Rev. J. B. Taylor, Jr., now of Wilmington, N.C. ::In 1843 the Columbian College conferred upon him the degree of D. D. He died May 7, 1872. ::[William Cathcart, editor, The Baptist Encyclopedia, 1881; rpt. 1988. - jrd] == Sources ==

'''What Is True Greatness?''' HOWARD W. HUNTER. Talk given by Mike Crandall at [[Pember-182 | Unita Crandall’s]] Funeral. May 4, 2007. From a devotional address given at Brigham Young University on February 10, 1987. I am confident that there are many great, unnoticed, and forgotten heroes among us. today. I am speaking of those of you who quietly and consistently do the things you ought to do. I am talking about those who are always there and always willing. I am referring. to the uncommon valor of the mother. My mother was an example of an unnoticed hero who was always there and willing to help her family. She spent a lot of time with her children especially her three handicapped ones. She taught Tommy, Buddy and Susie to take care of themselves in every way possible and spent many hours in therapy with them. She had my sister Patty and me crawl on each side of Tommy while he tried to crawl to help him to crawl and stay up. She first hired someone to teach Buddy to read but with no success then she sat with Buddy for hours during the week using two cardboard signs that were maybe 4X6 feet in size with the alphabet and words on them, but it just was not in Buddies capability to learn to read. Another time I went to moms house and saw my three brothers and sister sitting around her bed having family prayer. My mother said that they
have Family Prayer every night with her. We moved to Phoenix just in time for me to go to first grade. In one of my earliest grades my teacher let mother know that I was not keeping up with the other kids in reading. and spelling. I couldnt even spell my name. So mom decided to teach me herself. I remember spending many hours with my mother in the backyard learning to read and to spell. Mom said she helped me most of the time at the kitchen table but I dont remember that. I loved being outside. I enjoyed mom teaching me very much. To me it was like a game and I loved spending the time in the back yard with mom. She also tried to teach Patty how to read but Patty just could not sit still and was not interested then. She reads all the time now.While I was on my mission my sister Patty was in the hospital having her second child and then came down with appendicitis while in the hospital. Then while Patty went in for surgery and afterward was recuperating mom watched Pattys year old baby and the newborn. together. Then for every one of Pattys four babies mom had one more to watch. Years ago there was a fire behind our house across the alley when we lived in Phoenix. My sister first smelled smoke then I got up and saw flames coming from the neighbor utility shed. Then my mother even though she was little went over to the house diagonally behind us and woke up the lady and got her out. She moved the car out of the carport by pulling on the bumper by herself even though the brakes were on. Her adrenalin was really high then. She also started pulling the couch out of the house by herself until someone
came over to help with Unita directing them. When Unita was small she used to ride with other kids in Cedaredge, Colorado on a wagon with canvas around it to keep the wind, rain and snow out. She wrote;. We lived in New Mexico, maybe Farmington. Daddy made us a tent house. There were boards around the bottom and the top was a tent. When we were there Mom would have me sit with her on the south side of the tent in the sun to keep warm because it was cold. We used a pot and emptied it into a neighbors bathroom all the time. Unita was born in Cedaredge, Delta County, Colorado on October 31, 1920. She wrote in her life story,œ We moved a lot because in the 1920s money was real tight. Coffee was made from toasted ground grain because of the First World War they couldnt get coffee. One place we lived had a phone behind the heater, a little off to the side of the chimney. It was up so high I couldnt reach it, even though I did try. It was a telephone that you got the operator at central by turning the handle and then she would answer and ring the party you wanted. The only thing wrong with that was that the phone rang for everyone else too and anyone could listen in on the call. I think they used long and short rings to specify whom they wanted.€ At this same place mom writes, œAt that house there was an old min e out in the hills. away from our house. There were also coyotes and mountain lions around. I used to go out to that hole in the hills and play. I dont think anyone else played there, it was my secret place. I dont remember a baby being around at this house so I was real little. One day. mama and daddy had gone to town and left us alone at the house with Winston to watch us and cook our supper I remember the cold fried potatoes. When it got dark they called up to see if everything was all right. Of course, I was missing. I had been playing in the mine; it. had isinglass, or mica, all over. It was in little layers and I had lots of fun splitting them. Well, this time I went to sleep. Mom and Daddy came home on horseback, they had unhitched the wagon, to get there faster”. When mom was about 18 she started working at the citrus shed (On Broadway by Country Club). She wrote, “We used to put paper on the oranges or grapefruit before we put it in the box. I did pretty good doing that. I worked there for 6 years. One day they gave everyone else their checks but me. I had to go to the office to get mine. When I got there they told me that I had gotten the biggest paycheck of that pay period, even more than the pickers or the bosses. I felt real good. It wasn’t too long after that that they laid a lot of us off. They kept the ones that were the only breadwinners in the family. They weren’t putting papers on them any more, so they didn’t need so many of us. Mom was the head-grader and had been for several years so she was kept on”. “I took role in the English class. One day Harold Crandall was absent. There were two Crandall’s, Curly and Harold. Harold had real curly hair. The teacher was out of the room and some of the other kids were helping my take role. So I thought that Harold was Curly. because his hair was so curly, so I marked Curly absent. For about two weeks he was absent. I never was scolded for that mistake. I guess no one but me knew it. Anyway, that is the way I met my future husband. I found out his real name was Elton after we go t engaged. I went over to see his mother all the time, when I wasn’t working. I got lots of attention because they had no girls and I was their first daughter-in-law. It seemed like that was my home so.much of the time. At Banner Hospice on the day just before mom passed away mom with eyes closed and lying down was reaching up like she was hugging and kissing someone. When she had been asleep for almost a week before that. I like to think that was family visiting her that was about to take her with them to the spirit world. She passed away that night at 2:3 0am on the 28th of. April 2007. Yes there was a mistake. We realized that last night. The date of passing was on the 28th not the 27th.When Ruthie and I told Tommy, Buddy and Susie later that day about mom passing away. Tommy told us that he already knew that mom had passed away. He said that he saw a light. early in the morning and heard mom say, “Now that I have passed on you need to do what Mike. and Ruthie ask you to do”. '''Life story of Unita Bernice Pember Crandall.''' Like I told Mike, I was born. I tried to get my birth certificate once, and the reply to my letter was that no such person ever was registered i n the Delta County courthouse. When Mom and Daddy met they lived in Kansas. Mom said she could remember painted Indians coming to the door and her mother would give them a slab of bacon or some tobacco. They never raided the farm because they were tolerant of them. My Grandmother was a midwife. She had so many kids of her own she knew all about it. They would ca ll on her at all times of the day or night and she would go, sometimes stay a few days if they had trouble. They had a farm first. Mom said her Mother would hitch up the team of horses and haul the barn back where it belonged after a tornado hit their farm. She never did remember if the bar n got torn up any time. Maybe it had to be repaired. Mom said they move d into town later. Mom had taken a year of school that enabled her to tea ch school in Kansas so she moved into town to a room. Teachers had to b e so strict in those days. She wore her hair long and braided it in lon g braids and then would roll it around and have a braided bun over each e ar. Sometimes she would use a curling iron. On the farm they had lamps t o heat the curling iron on but in the room in town there was electricity . She tried to heat her curling iron on the light bulb hanging down in the middle of the room but that didn’t work. Daddy’s family lived in Kansas where Mom lived and that is how they met . Mom said she and Daddy would write postcards to each other in Morse cod e. The mailman would take their penny for postage and draw a stamp on it , that way they got it sooner. I saw some of the cards but Mom threw the m away after she and Daddy were divorced. Daddy and his parents and hi s brother, Uncle Harold, moved to Cedar mesa, which was the mesa near Ced ar Edge where Grandpa farmed. We thought their house was so big. It was 4 rooms and a back entry and a front porch. Anyway Daddy had Mom move t o Cedar mesa thinking she could teach school there. They were planning t o get married anyway. After she moved and had given up her teaching jo b in Kansas, she found out her license wasn’t any good in Colorado. Wel l, Grandma and Grandpa went on a trip and it was either move back to Kans as or get married because she couldn’t stay in the house with the two m en. So they got married on “New Years” Day. She had a beautiful whit e wedding gown. Goldie later dyed it green and made a dress out of it fo r her daughter, Peggy. There was none of the dress left and no picture wa s ever taken of it. It was a shame because it was a beautiful dress. Whe n Mom was teaching school in Kansas she was teaching all 8 grades in on e classroom. She had to build a fire to warm it in winter and clean it an d do all the work herself. Some of the boys were bigger then she was an d some were even older, because the farm work came first as far as the yo ung men were concerned. One other time Mom told me how her brothers woul d take a wagon and start out across the prairie. When they came to some d ry cow dung or biscuits they would put them in the wagon. It made good fi rewood when it was hard and dry. They would also find turtles and turn th em on their backs. They would do that until they figured they had enoug h and then they would start toward home again and pick up the turtles o n the way back home, that way they had a supply of meat other than chicke ns, pork and beef. One time I asked my Grandmother Pember what her most embarrassing momen t was. She said that it was when she and Grandpa were courting. They ha d rode in a buggy to a dance and ladies wore hoop skirts at that time. An yway there were steps on the buggy and she must have missed it somehow an d Grandpa had to help her down. She had gotten her hoop over the buggy wh eel and couldn’t get up or down. The men were not supposed to touch any thing on the ladies except their hands; here she was showing her ankles t o everyone, and heaven knows what else showed. Grandpa had to put his arm s around her and lift her off the buggy wheel. That was very embarrassin g out in the open to do that to an unmarried lady. My Grandmother Pembe r was a Spaulding before she married. I don’t know if her forefathers c ame over from Holland or Germany. I have learned since I wrote this tha t her branch of the Spaulding’s came from Holland, so that is why Grand pa called her “Dutch”. I never did hear her called Emma by him. Mik e found out about the Spaulding’s on the Internet. My folks lived on a farm on Cedar Mesa. About three miles from Cedaredg e down a winding hill on a two-lane road. It wasn’t much of a road, a l ot of turns and corners. Whenever anyone came to a turn in the daytime th ey would slow down and honk. They didn’t have to do that at night becau se the headlights would shine and they would see them and know there wa s someone coming and move to the side of the road. Dr. Aust, made house c alls. He was always so busy that he would go from one patients’ house t o the next one. When my brother Stanley was born there was diphtheria o n the Mesa and when he came to our house Winston came down with diphtheri a later and the baby died. The doctor put a cloth around the baby’s mid dle and he told my mother to leave it, to not take it off, but she did on ce because she was worried about it. Well it got infected. Mom said his n avel was big as a fist when he died. His name was Stanley Lewellan and h e is buried in New Mexico. Another time my dad had typhoid fever and he w as real sick. Someone had to be by the side of the bed so he wouldn’t f all out of bed. I remember he had a big red spot on his forehead from hit ting his head on the floor when he did fall out of bed. We had to get vac cinated. Every time Dr. Aust came to our house, I and maybe Goldie woul d run out to meet him and pull up our dress to get the shot he had been g iving to us. I remember being disappointed because he said we didn’t ne ed any more shots. He was always so busy that he forgot to report everyth ing. I tried to get my birth certificate and couldn’t, as I never was r eported to have been born. Maybe I was born before Dr. Aust got to the ho use. Mom didn’t have too hard a delivery so maybe he wasn’t there whe n I was born. I know someone in our family was born before the doctor go t there but I can’t remember which one of us it was. Goldie and I had c hicken pox and measles about this time. We lived in so many different places and sometimes the same place severa l different times. One house we lived in had an upstairs to it. I remembe r Mom putting things on the bottom of the stairs and she would tell us th at if we went upstairs to take something with us. Sometimes Goldie an d I would hear the hurdy-gurdy man playing his music in the street afte r dark. Evidently he was going home. From the upstairs window we would li sten to him going by and sometimes we would see him. That was exciting. W hen we were at this house I remember sleeping on the floor in front of th e fireplace where it was warm. We got up real early in the morning and le ft before it was even light. I guess Mom and Daddy owed money and they co uldn’t pay it so it was leave or lose everything. They left a sewing ma chine and a set of dishes in storage and lost them. One place it was Christmas and there were real four inch long candles o n the tree. Mom told Winston to light the candles. He had on a nightshir t at the time and it was long like a nightgown. I remember him climbing u p on a highchair to light the candles at the top and he had lit some of t he bottom ones first. Well, you know what happened, his nightshirt caugh t on fire. I remember him climbing up on the highchair but I don’t reme mber very much about the fire. How your memory plays tricks. One of the first things I remember was feeding the chickens. I would tak e the pan of feed and call the chickens, they weren’t in a pen, and th e horse would come and follow me. You could look off into the hills by o ur house and see the deer. We lived in a small house; I remember we had t hree rooms, a bedroom, living room and a kitchen. One night in the middl e of the night I got up and went to the kitchen and Daddy and the Docto r was bathing a little tiny baby in a dishpan on the kitchen table. S o I climbed up on the bench behind the table and watched for a while, the n Daddy told me to go back to bed, so I did. In the morning he came an d woke me up and said Mamma had had a baby and I had a new little sister . I went into the bedroom expecting to see a little girl, just my size st anding at the head of the bed with her hand up holding on to the metal o f the head of the bed. All I found was a little baby in the bed, boy wa s I disappointed and I cried and cried. I didn’t have a new playmate. D addy would take me on his lap to rock me to sleep in the rocker and he wo uld play his mouth organ. Sometimes when the music wasn’t right any mor e I would know he was asleep and I would crawl down off his lap. Mama wou ld ask me why I wasn’t asleep and I would tell her that Daddy was aslee p instead, still playing his mouth organ but a little off key now. Someti mes she would put the baby in the rocking chair and tell me to rock her t o sleep. One time I rocked her so hard that she fell out of the chair ont o the floor. That house had two men living in the other part of it. They had a whit e cat that had sore ears all the time. The men would either flip them o r turn them back and its ears were so sore. We doctored them and we fina lly got them all healed up. I vaguely remember playing on a big machine t hat was huge. I pushed and pulled on the levers and evidently I took th e brake off and it started rolling and nearly ran over someone. Before M om had the baby she would have to carry water from a place by the school . She was quite clumsy and big by that time and one time some boys saw he r walking by the school with the pails of water and started to sing “Th e old gray mare she ain’t what she used to be.” It was pretty embarra ssing for her, she remembered, when she told me about it. This house ha d two men living in the other end. It was what we would now call a duplex . We moved a lot because in the 1920’s money was real tight. Coffee was m ade from toasted ground grain because of the First World War they couldn⠀™t get coffee. One place we lived had a phone behind the heater, a littl e off to the side of the chimney. It was up so high I couldn’t reach it , even though I did try. It was a telephone that you got the operator a t central by turning the handle and then she would answer and ring the pa rty you wanted. The only thing wrong with that was that the phone rang fo r everyone else too and anyone could listen in on the call. I think the y used long and short rings to specify whom they wanted. At that house th ere was an old mine out in the hills away from our house. There were als o coyotes and mountain lions around. I used to go out to that hole in th e hills and play. I don’t think anyone else played there, it was my sec ret place. I don’t remember a baby being around at this house so I wa s real little. One day, mama and daddy had gone to town and left us alon e at the house with Winston to watch us and cook our supper I remember th e cold fried potatoes. When it got dark they called up to see if everythi ng was all right. Of course, I was missing. I had been playing in the mi ne; it had isinglass, or mica, all over. It was in little layers and I ha d lots of fun splitting them. Well, this time I went to sleep. Mom and Da ddy came home on horseback, they had unhitched the wagon, to get there fa ster. Mom on her horse jumped the fence and daddy had to stop and walk hi s horse through the gate. He always got so sick when he rode fast or jump ed he would get regular carsickness. He couldn’t ride sitting backward s in a train or go out fishing in a boat. When my stepbrother, Breen too k daddy fishing in a boat they always had to bring him back because he wo uld get so sick. Another time he tried to go to Alaska because they wante d workers. Well he got to Oregon and had to quit because it made him so c arsick to ride the train and he knew he couldn’t ride on a boat. One farm we lived at, I remember during October, mom had me close my eye s while she took me outside and then had me open them. There was a newbor n colt in the corral with its mother. I thought it was my birthday presen t but mom said no. Another time she was washing clothes on the board an d I was playing. It was the fifth of July and the old firecrackers that t he big kids had played with were lying on the ground. Well, I proceeded t o pick them up and try to get them to light, one off the other. I finall y succeeded. They went off in my hands and I got burned pretty badly. I d idn’t ever do that again. I lost a fingernail because of it. I wasnt i n school yet because the big kids werent there. One time there was a stor m and a lot of lightning. As I remember it Winston was on the front porc h watching the lightning and it struck the telephone lines. When it was o ver Winston was upstairs under the bed. The clock that was on the telepho ne was thrown across the room and was all bent up. We still used it for y ears after that. I remember Goldie and Winston dressing me up in some of Winstons clothes . I remember the big folds on my arms and my legs. He was five years olde r that I was. Then they took me out to the alfalfa field to play hide an d go seek with me. The alfalfa was taller than I was and I never did fin d them. Mom and Daddy came home about that time and were quite upset abou t it. I think part of the reason was because there was a big bull tied i n the back yard and was supposed to be a mean one. One place we lived in Goldie and Winston went to school but I wasnt old e nough yet. They would play cards on the sewing machine-one at each end. A nd I would stand at the back of the sewing machine and watch. Finally the y let me play, that was real nice. They would go to school but they had t o ride the school bus and it was quite a walk for me to go meet them. Mo m and Dad told us to stay away from the bushes because rattlesnakes live d in bushes, she was afraid we would get bit by one. Well, we found som e sticks and rattled them in the bushes, but we didnt find anything but r abbits. Shep, our dog, would be with us, if he ever found anything he wou ld grab it and shake it all to pieces. Sometimes he found a skunk and h e would do the same thing. Then Daddy would have to take him swimming . I remember when he got a porcupine; we found quills coming out of his n ose for a long time afterward. I remember Mom pulling them out of the to p of his nose with the pliers because we could feel them when we petted h im. I had a bright red knitted sweater that I loved, I took it everywhere, an d it was getting a lot of holes in it. One day it disappeared and I could nt find it any more. On Christmas Eve we had been shopping and when we go t home we had to run hide in bed real fast so Santa Claus could come. H e wouldn’t come unless you were in bed, you know. We all ran to the be droom, I believe I was under the bed when Santa’s bells rang and Daddy called us. That year I got a doll with the prettiest red sweater on. It was so pretty. Years later I found out that was what had happened to the sweater. Before that I had a small blanket that was colored like an Indian blanket an d Mamma would roll it up somehow to where it would look like a baby in a blanket. It would disappear and then come back. I guess that was whe n it got washed because it was dirty. When it finally disappeared, I foun d out later, it was used in a quilt that my mother was making. Then I go t a cupie doll. It was the first doll that was a real doll that I ever ha d. All I remember about it is that it was sitting on top of the icebox . I had been naughty so the doll was put up there until I got over bein g punished. One time, before I started school, the class Goldie was in had a picnic s o Mom sent me to school so I could go to the picnic with her. The next ti me it happened we didn’t get to go to the picnic. The teacher made us s tay in the classroom until they got back from the picnic, and the teacher made us sit together in the same seat. She was real strict. Mom wasn’ t supposed to send me to go to the picnic. I never went to school with Goldie again. We lived in New Mexico, maybe Farmington. Daddy made us a tent house. There were boards around the bottom and the top was a tent. When we were there Mom would have me sit with her on the south side of the tent in the sun to keep warm because it was cold. We used a pot and emptied it into a neighbor’s bathroom all the time. While we lived there I went over to the neighbors to play with two girls just about my size. They tied me to a board and pushed me down the steps. I was supposed to walk down but with my legs tied I couldn’t very well. I went home with a bloody nose , two black eyes and I never went back to see if I could play with them again. When we sat in the sun by the tent I don’t think I was in school then but I seem to remember going to school later. I was walking by myself and the buildings were so tall. That is all I remember about going to school there. Mom and Dad had a bed, Goldie, Lyona and I slept on a pallet on the floor. We would roll it up and push it under the bed. In the daytime Elaine slept with Mom and Daddy. Winston slept outside, maybe in the car, I don’t remember. There were five of us kids there because when we moved to California Elaine was the baby. We didn’t have Shep because he died before this. After Uncle Jim came to New Mexico, where we lived in the tent house, we moved to Long Beach, California. We were in a three-room house. There was one dresser. Toys in the bottom drawer and we each had one drawer to put all our belongings into, clothes etc. Goldie and I slept in a bed in the living room. Elaine learned to walk at that house. Goldie would sit on one end of Mom’s bed and I sat at the other end and Elaine would walk back and forth to us, and this way she did not get hurt if she fell. Uncle Jim was my mother’s brother, John Davis Bailey. Someone had a birthday at this house. Mom baked a cake and frosted it all up with white frosting and then she put it on the cupboard so that it was behind the door when the door opened. That was sure good frosting. By the time we were through eating supper and ready for the cake there was no frosting on the cake at all. So Mom had to refrost it. I don’t remember her being mad about it. One time I needed some new shoes and Mom would take a strip of paper and measure the length of our foot and then use that to buy our shoes. Well they brought me home a pair of shoes. I still say they were boy’s shoes. I refused to wear them. I wouldn’t even try them on. They sat around the house for a few days and then they finally took them back and bought some shoes that looked like girl’s shoes . Elaine was a baby-not quite a year old when we moved to California. I was six years older than she was. Mom worked; I don’t know what kind of work but she left Elaine at babysitters every day. One day she went early to get her and she still had the diaper on that she had on when she took her there. The sitter would just put her in the crib and leave her there until time to be picked up. One day she didn’t take Elaine to the sitter and I said I would baby sit her and Goldie said she would. So, we both stayed home to babysit her. Maybe that was Lyona, I don’t remember . Winston bought a new bicycle here at this house. It came in a box and he had to put it together by reading the directions that came with it. It was the bicycle that he used to deliver papers at Signal Hill, which was his route. One time his bike spilled him and he fell in a hole in the road. It was lucky because a large plank off an oil derrick fell on top of him. Since he fell in a hole in the road he wasn’t hurt. In Long Beach the Hughton's lived next door in a house in the back of another house. Evelyn was an epileptic. In those days they didnt know how to control seizures as she had them quite often. That was 74 years ago. Sh e was my age and we had a lot of fun together but she kept getting worse and they nailed the windows shut at night and kept her on a chain like a dog in the backyard so she could get the sun and play outside in the daytime. Whenever she had a seizure, she didn’t have seizures like most people. She just got hyper and would want to run. She was the oldest of seven children. While she was on the wire and chain outside, the Hughton’s had a chicken in a pen and I guess they would go to the beach and get a lot of little clams and they gave her a hammer to break them and feed them to the chicken. Well, she figured out that if it would break the shell it would also break her chain. So she did. She carried the length of chain in her hand with her mother calling to her. It was on the train track, she would stop and her Mother would try to catch her but Evelyn was always faster than her Mother and the police had to catch her again. One time she had a needle and she was sticking everyone with it. Mom took it from her and very nicely showed her how it hurt. Evelyn said that she didn’t know it hurt and she wouldn’t do it anymore. One time we were playing in the yard and Evelyn went over to Mom and told her to hold her tight, not to let her go. She had a seizure and Mom held her until it was over and everything was all right. She had a lot of adventures in a hospital that were funny to her but not to the people around her. She was my age and the youngest was 1 year old. Evelyn would always run toward Signal Hill. There were oil wells on Signal Hill and one of men that worked there had some pigs, Evelyn was always there when the police would find her. They finally had to put her in a home in Canada because they were from Canada and weren’t U.S. citizens. Then they moved back to Canada so they could be close to her. The youngest girl played with Elaine . We called her by her name and we called Elaine “Baby”. One day Ela ine came up to us and said she didn’t want to be called “Baby” any more. The girl next door was a year younger than she was and they didnât call her Baby. Since Elaine’s name was Mary Elaine we had to decide which to call her, Mary we didn’t like, Mary Elaine was too long so we ended up calling her Elaine. Our landlord lived just down the alley from us and Daddy would let me go pay the rent. He would give me a $100.0 0 bill and I would walk down the alley and knock and give it to them and bring back the change. It made me feel real important. I went to school here and at the school crosswalk there was a policeman. We would run at him and he would catch us and whirl us around. He finally had to quit because other kids saw us do it and they wanted to have it done to them too. Goldie and I used to go to the schoolyard to play. It was summer time and it was hot and the city would turn on the fire hydrants. We would always have our bathing suits on and we had lots of fun playing in the water from the hydrants. One day some men came around where we were playing . There were quite a lot of us kids playing there. Anyway these men had us take them to our parents and they told them that if we would make little pink costumes and go to their dance class we could dance in the Exposition. It was the Los Angeles Southwest Exposition. Well, we all had the costumes. I remember dancing. I still had mine when I was in high school . I finally threw it away when I moved out of my mother’s house befor e I got married. We used to go to the movies for 10 cents. We would get t o see a movie and we saw a serial that would be continued for about 10 we eks. We would have a ticket to let us in to all these movies by paying th e first time and just showing the card the rest of the time. One time I w asn’t ready when Goldie and Winston left so I had to run to catch up wi th them. They were already in the theater when I got there and the man st ill let me in without the ticket. After the movie everyone would line u p and go the ice cream place and everyone would get a free cone every tim e. We used to go to the corner store by the park and get a chocolate cove red mint for 2 cents. If he was out of mints he would give us half a bana na each. He would make icy -cones and scrape the ice and then pour the sy rup on it. They were really good. The park was across the corner and we w ould go there to play. I got behind the two kids and was running to catc h up and I ran into a park bench that hit me right in the stomach. My bre ath was knocked out for a while but that is how small I was. In one hous e in Long Beach our cousins Hamlin and Keith Pember came to see us. One t ime Hamlin had a broken leg and he was on crutches. Everyone teased hi m a lot. I remember him being so mad he threw his crutch at a kid. He wa s in the middle of the street at the time and when the kid took the crutc h and wouldn’t give it back Hamlin threw the other crutch at him, whic h left Hamlin sitting in the middle of the road without a crutch, yellin g and screaming. We had our dog, old Shep. I remember he always rode on the running boar d of the car when we moved, We were in the middle of the desert on our wa y back to Colorado and we stopped for something and we couldn’t find Sh ep. So after hunting and still no luck Mama and Daddy decided to go on wi thout him. They didn’t drive as fast as they would have before but we h adn’ t been on the road again for very long when here came Shep. He mus t have gotten ahead of us somehow. We were sure glad to see him; he was p art of our family. Some time later we lived in a campground or a court o f some kind and we were playing in the yard and Shep came up to us wher e we were sitting on the running board of the car. We helped him to try t o get on the running board but he died, right there while he was in our a rms. We didn’t ever find out who poisoned him. This was before Uncle Ji m came and got us to move to California. Goldie said we were in New Mexic o, we moved so much. We didn’t have a cat at one house in Long Beach. I guess we always lef t our cats when we moved because I would remember Daddy always bringing u s two cats every time so that we didn’t rag one to death. We would dres s them up in doll clothes and they would lay in our doll beds and look s o cute. Well, anyway at this house I told some kids I wanted a kitty, s o they told me that this certain lady who lived on the way home from scho ol had a cat that was going to have kittens. So-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-I stopped t here e-e-every night on the way home from school to see the mama cat, an d when the kittens were born I got to pick one out and when it was weane d I got to take it home with me. I’ll bet that lady was real glad whe n that happened because I was there every school day on the way home fro m school. This school played the Star Spangled Banner in the morning whe n they put the flag up. If we were on the school grounds we had to stop w hatever we were doing and salute the flag. We had a teacher, who insisted everyone go to the dentist if they hadn’ t gone recently. Well, I needed to go to the dentist badly. I had 7 teet h filled and 2 pulled. On the way home from the dentist Mom gave me som e peanut brittle candy. One tooth bothered me for years after that. It wa s a baby tooth so I was lucky. The last house we lived in while in Long B each was at the foot of Signal Hill. On Walnut St., there was a store o n one of the corners. There were about 5 corners at the place we lived. W hile we lived in this house it rained and rained and rained. Winston woul d roll up his pants and take a wagon and go to the store for groceries. S ome of the people were taken out of their homes with little boats becaus e their homes were flooded. The water was so deep we couldn’t see the b ottom step on the porch. There was water everywhere. While we lived in t his house Lindberg flew over the Atlantic. The Graf Zepplin flew over. Wi nston took a picture of it, just a speck in the sky. Daddy had rabbits i n the back yard. He let me hold one of them one time and it filled one o f my pockets with water. I didn’t hold any more bunnies. Winston had w hite mice here also, when we moved from there I never did know what becam e of the white mice Winston had. He told me years later that he just turn ed them loose and the neighbors probably hated him for it. There was an e arthquake while we lived here. The main highway next to the coast had a c rack in it 3 feet wide. We would stand in the kitchen and know when an e arthquake came because our lights used to hand down from the ceiling an d the light would sway when there was an earthquake. Grandma Pember cam e to see us while we were in this house. We would buy a loaf of bread a t the store and it wasn’t sliced at that time so Grandma got to slice t he bread. One day when we bought the bread it was sliced. The first tim e ever. Well, we put the loaf of bread out on the platter all pushed toge ther so Grandma wouldn��t know. She went to slice it and it fell apar t. She was real surprised. She stayed with us a while then went home to C edaredge. She was there to get us to come back to Cedaredge. We didn’ t live very far from the school and I would play on the school ground aft er school for a while before going home. One night I stayed because one g irl said that her sister was going to fight someone. Well, I found out wh o she was going to fight, Me! I ran and ran. I ran faster than she did be cause she never caught me. Daddy was coming after me when I got off th e school ground. I was crying and when I told him what happened, he wen t back and talked to the girls. I didn’t stay and play any more on th e school ground after school. That was where I fell off the rings whe n I played after school one night and had to wear a splint on my left ar m for about three weeks. I didn’t break it but it was very badly sprain ed. When my mother would bake pies I was always there watching her. The n eighbor thought I was a nuisance, but Mom said no I wasn’t. When she go t done with her pies she would leave enough crust for me to bake a littl e pie. I would roll out the dough and peel the apple for it and make it j ust like my mother did. I still have one of little pie pans I used to mak e those pies. When we moved back to Colorado we moved back to the Kipp pl ace. I was in the third grade and we didn’t wait for the school year t o end so I never finished the third grade. I went into the fourth grade , on trial, the next year in Cedaredge School, the teacher’s name was M iss Heck. I guess I did quite well in school. I never finished the thir d grade. I had one month of the fifth grade and one semester of the sixt h grade when we moved back to Arizona the last time. I never did learn m y roman numerals. We lived on the Kipp Place quite a while. We had some white cats while w e lived there. One was going to have kittens and one night she disappeare d; but we could hear her meowing all over the place. We used an outhous e at the Kipp place. It was originally dug to be a well and they never s truck water so they put an outhouse on it. It was about 50 feet deep. Whe n we lived there the floor and the seats were broken. I remember jumpin g on the boards to see if I could break them. If I had broken the board s I would have fell in the well. I guess it had been there since the hous e was built, because they used to dig wells for water for drinking, the y considered that to be fresh water. Well, that is what the cat fell into . The cat would meow and you could hear it for everywhere because the sou nd came from so deep in the hole. Daddy tied ropes together and wire an d put a wire basket on the bottom of them trying to get the cat out. Well , the cat didn’t co-operate very well so my dad had me get on the rop e and, then he let me down into the hole to get the cat. There was a lon g plank that stuck up out of the mess at the bottom and the cat was on th e top of the board, but she had been in the mess and she smelled terrible . When we got the cat out we bathed her good but no matter how much we ba thed her we never could get the smell out. She was going to have kitten s and when she did have them under our house, the tomcat killed them all . She disappeared after that. I guess she couldn’t stand it because s o much had happened to her. The house we lived in. while at the Kipp place in was in the middle of th e piece of land, maybe 40 acres’ and we always had to walk all that dis tance to meet the school bus. Winston used to tease us about seeing “be ar ” legs in the spring and we would look all over for a bear. It too k me years to catch on that he meant that our legs were bare. We had take n off our winter underwear and our long socks. While we lived on Cedar mesa, Goldie and I would go to church. We woul d start out walking; it was 3 miles at least to town. Everyone on the mes a knew each other so we would always catch a ride and we would go to th e church that the people we caught the ride with, we had our names on th e roll of about 4 different churches in Cedaredge. We lived on the Waite Place. That was the last place we lived in the las t time we were in Colorado. We lived there quite a while. At Christmas Da ddy went out and cut a tree down and he didn��t have to have a stan d for it. He just pushed it in the corner and it stayed there. We strun g popcorn to trim the tree with. The last string of popcorn we were strin ging we left it hang on the tree thinking that it wouldn’t hurt anythin g. The next day the cat we had, Tom, was sitting under the tree for suc h a long time. I finally went to see what was the matter and saw the popc orn string coming out of his mouth. The cat had swallowed the needle a s well as some of the popcorn. I gently pulled on the string and the ca t just sat and let me do it. Finally the needle came out nice and straigh t and nothing happened to the cat. He was lucky. If I had picked him up t o move him he could have been hurt real bad. One of the presents I bough t was a top. We never did find it Christmas morning. Mom said that a pac k rat probably carried it off. One time Mom took Lyona and Elaine to Kansas to see her mother. She mus t have been gone about ten days because a lot happened while she was gone . The string beans matured and Daddy had us help him can them to surpris e Mom when she got home. He didn’t put any salt in them and she said th at they couldn’t be eaten without salt. We ate them and nobody died. Mo m should have been happy but she wasn’t. Goldie had her turn to wash th e dishes but I was the one that was supposed to stack the dishes first, w ell, I didn’t, and so Goldie didn’t. We had about a weeks dishes stac ked and Mom was going to be coming home. Daddy said we had to do them NOW ! We got the washtub and put it by the cistern and put the dishes all i n it and then pumped water into the tub. We had to let them soak for a wh ile; they had been sitting dirty for so long. Anyway, they were all don e when Mom got back home and she never did know how we had left them fo r so long. They gave me about 10 little ducks, and told me they were mine. All mine . I took care of them, fed them, made sure nothing ever happened to them . Daddy would want to go down the ravine. There was a creek there and I w ould walk those ducks down the trail to the creek and they would go in th e water to swim. I think they caught cold because several of them died be fore they were full-grown. I know that I carried the largest one up the t rail because he got too tired. We quit taking them down the trail becaus e we realized it was too far and the water too cold. Anyway, one day the y turned up missing. Mom and Dad had butchered and sold them while I wa s gone. We also had a setting hen that I loved. Every day after schoo l I would go to where she was sitting on the eggs and I would feed and wa ter her. I called her Rosie because she had a rose comb. It didn’t stan d up tall like the other hens’ combs. She was missing one day when I go t home from school. Anyway Rosie was missing and I hunted and hunted her , I never did find her. Well, that night we had chicken potpie for supper . I asked Mom where the chicken came from that we were going to eat and s he told me it was the settin’ hen. That was my Rosie. I couldn’t ea t any supper that night. One of the young roosters had something the matt er with him. He got big like a rooster but he had only about a third of h is feathers. He was also very near sighted. He couldn’t see to eat of f the ground so we would set him in the feed sack while we fed the othe r chickens. That way he could get all he wanted to eat. One time we forgo t him and his crop was really bulging. When we left CedarEdge we gave hi m to the neighbors across the street. They had a girl my age that I playe d with and she said she would take care of him. Her two older sisters wer e going to go to Tempe Normal School, in Arizona. That is what they calle d the college then, I guess. There was a pair of wool trousers that Winston had outgrown. I took to w earing them all the time; I loved the way I felt when I had them on. Anyw ay, I wore them until they wore out. I found a cactus someplace. They wer e very few and far between on Cedar mesa. I never saw another. I took tha t cactus and planted it at the corner of the house. Years later Daddy liv ed there with his second family and they said the cactus was still there . One time Mom was putting things back on the closet shelf and it was rea l high up. Mom had me get on a box that was on a chair to put them on th e top shelf. She turned to go to the kitchen for something and I fainted . Probably because the house had been closed up for winter. It snowed the re in the wintertime. Anyway when I came to I was in the bed and have n o memory of how I got there. In the back yard there was a room that had some old things in it. One o f them was a big old clock. I would work on it and try to get it to wor k but it never would. I could get it to chime all right but it wouldn’ t keep on running. I had lots of fun making it chime anyway. One year, o n Halloween, Winston was out with a bunch of boys playing pranks. Mom wa s popping popcorn for us at home. We looked out the window and it was sno wing, the first snow of the winter season, and it was my birthday! One t ime the dam was in trouble, it was leaking and they called the men on Ced ar mesa to go work on the dam. Mrs. Kipp had a bunch of small kids and ne eded help, so I was elected. I even helped her to milk the cows. I was h aving fun. I slept on the couch, had a nosebleed every night after I wen t to bed. I don’t know what caused them and I never told anyone. Mrs. K ipp found blood on my pillow I guess and she told mom. Nothing ever cam e of it. While the men were gone to the dam, a chick fell down our cistern. Mom pu t me on a rope and lowered me into the cistern with a dipper and a pail . I fished out all the dead bugs and drowned mice that I could find. Save d the little chick, it was quite an adventure, and that was our drinkin g water!. When the men were still gone, the irrigation water came and Mom filled th e cistern with the cleaner irrigation water. That is the water we had t o drink all the time. Daddy butchered the hogs when they were grown. He h ad a hoist made of a singletree from a horses harness that he fastened th e hind legs of the hog to and then hoisted him up until he hung up to a b oard that was sticking out from the top of the chicken house to fasten th e rope that had the singletree on it, One time he didn’t take the singl etree down. Knowing me, you know what I did. I stood on the singletree a nd then pulled myself to the top with the other rope; then I let go of th e other rope and took hold of the rope I was standing on. Of course I fel l, I knocked all the breath out of myself and I couldn’t take a breat h at all. I got up and ran to Mom and Dad who were walking in the yard o n the other side of the chicken house. I tried to tell them what was th e matter but I couldn’t, they guessed and they patted me on the back un til I could breathe again. I was always learning what not to do. We did s o many things that we wouldn’t dream of letting our kids to do now. Th e chicken house wasn’t quite as tall as the house but we would climb u p on it. Winston and Goldie would jump off but I don’t think I ever did . We had to use the outhouse all the time and what Mom told us about eati ng in it was; “Don’t eat in the outhouse or bathroom because we woul d be feeding the birds.” I never could figure that out. Mom baked a birthday cake for Winston one time; she put it on the porch t o cool because it was still warm. When it came time to have the birthda y cake, I went to get it but a hen that had come in through the hole in t he screen door had scratched it, about half of it was gone. Well, that sc reen door got fixed after that. . We had two dirt cellars to put things in. One, Mom put her canned goods i n, and other things that had to stay cool. Colder than that we had a bo x in a tree with a pan of water on top of it with burlap hanging out th e sides. It kept our butter from getting soft as well as other things, li ke leftovers. Goldie and I played in the other cellar. Goldie hung an ol d sheet up to use as a curtain and we played Movie Stars. Our cousin wa s there, Arthur, one of mom’s nephews. His folks came and got him abou t a month later. We got to meet Clarence, his brother, that time too. W e had regular chickens at that farm and some banties. When the chicks wer e getting full grown the old bantie rooster would go on top of the dirt c ellar closest to the house. He would take a different young rooster up ev ery morning and he taught all the young roosters to crow that way. Bert Plantz stayed with us for a while. His sister was Aunt Vina who wa s married to Uncle Harold, Daddy’s brother. They were the parents of Ha mlin and Keith. Keith went down with his ship in the Second World War. Ha ml in is still around. He came to see us once a few years before Elton pa ssed away. Winston brought him over. Bert Plantz was quite a character. H e chewed every bite of food 64 chews. He used to sit at the table long af ter the rest of us were through eating, just chewing his food. Sometime s we wondered if he chewed his drink too. Before this he had a little far m and he raised vegetables and wanted to know if we had ever ate purple e ggs. He showed us his garden and we saw the purple eggs for the first tim e. Grandpa Pember had a young male calf. He came over to our place all the t ime and Goldie and I played with him all the time. He was so tame he foll owed us around the yard all the time. We petted and fed him all summer lo ng. Then school started and we didn’t see him any more. The next summer , a big red bull would stand at the fence and bellow at us. We made him s o mean tormenting him. I felt sorry later, we found out he had been the y oung bull calf we had played with all summer and he just wanted us to pe t him again. Daddy had an old mare we used to ride. Only one thing was wrong. She wa s wind blown. Every time she would trot she would make such a terrible no ise. We rode Felix too, Grandpa’s horse. He had been a racehorse at on e time, Daddy said. We had no saddles; we always rode bareback. We had ab out a dozen kids from the farms around that rode. I don’t remember Wins ton riding but he must have. I was in the 4th grade and Goldie was in th e 6th grade. We rode all over the Mesa; Mom always was waiting with the j ar of Vaseline. Which we sorely needed after riding bareback all afternoo n. Then one day Goldie rode Felix through a wire gate that was laying o n the ground and Felix cut his ankle with it. It was quite bad; he had t o be left without being used for months. Sad to say we never went ridin g again. One time when I was on Felix he shied and I fell off. He stoppe d right there. If he had stepped he would have stepped on me, but he didn ’t. I never rode him again; I rode the mare after that, noise and all. We moved to Cedaredge after that. Lived in a house in town, but I don’ t know the street name. We walked to school after that. All through town , past the library, I liked that. The General Store. I don’t remember t he other stores. The general store had things hanging from the ceiling . I say “ general” store. They had everything. I had one month of th e fifth grade before we came to Arizona there was a party. They had som e hard cider. Us kids never got to drink any of it but I remember Grandm a coming into the kitchen because she didn’t want Grandpa to see her ti psy. She giggled a lot. When we got all packed to leave for Arizona we go t into the car and it would not start. Daddy couldn’t understand it. H e got out and walked around the car and there lay the jack on the ground . He put it in the car and then when he tried to start the car it starte d right off. Daddy said, “God must have been watching out for us.” M y teacher had given me a note with my report card saying I was one of he r best students because she knew that in Arizona they had each class divi ded up into sections. The car was so full that we rode lying down all th e way. Winston stayed with Grandma and Grandpa to finish because he wa s a senior and he didn’t want to leave the courses he was taking in sch ool. Later Winston rode his bicycle to our house in Mesa, Arizona all th e way from Cedar mesa. It took him about a week and he camped out at nigh t. I don’t know what he ate; maybe Grandpa gave him some money to buy s ome food. The car was an old touring car. The top folded down and had windows mad e out of using glass in the right places to look out of. This car had a j ack to start the car. They hadn’t put batteries in them yet. I heard th e folks talking about starting the car without having to use the jack. It took us from Thanksgiving till Christmas to get to Arizona. On the wa y we had a lot of things happen. We got snowbound at a pass in the mounta ins. Daddy went to take a shortcut and we were in trouble. Our car was to o heavy to go and make a path in the snow. There was a family, a couple w ith a dog that had a Ford car. One of the Model T’s. They couldn’t g o on the road, as they were too light to go on the snow. So-o-o Daddy pus hed them and they made the path and we followed. Goldie was on the outsid e of the little Ford to make more weight in the front and she got chilbla ins on her heels. They bothered her for years after that. They would swel l up with matter, almost like a boil. We stayed at a place in Colorado t hat was building cabins. It was called Egnar. It spelled Range backward . None of the cabins were built; one had walls but only outside ones. I t was sure cold there at night. I slept on a cot with just a couple of bl ankets to keep warm. Goldie said that I even slept in the house in the ba thtub one night. It was cold too. I think Daddy slept in the car. Mom ha d a bed with Lyona and Elaine. I remember coming into Phoenix, we stoppe d one night at a tourist camp. They looked for work for a couple of day s and then we came to Mesa. I had put 2 pillows in the breakfast nook se at along with about half of the hangers that we had to hang our clothes o n. So we lost them because we never went back for them. Mom and Daddy fou nd a little adobe house that rented for about 7 or 8 dollars a month. Rem ember it was the depression. Two rooms and a basement. They opened the do or to the basement one day. It was in the floor of the kitchen. At some t ime or other, Mom thought, there had been a still in the basement, anyway , that was the first place that I ever saw a cockroach. They never did op en it again because of the cockroaches. The walls and floor of that basem ent were covered with them; we couldn’t even see the walls because of t hem. Everything I owned was in an apple box that Winston had put a littl e til in and a top with hinges. I had that box until we moved to the hom e we have now, about sixty years. I had painted it, wallpapered it. Use d is as a toybox for the kids for a while. They kept asking me if we wer e in Mesa yet. I told them I would know, and I did, when we had crossed t he old Tempe Bridge. When we got to Mesa the clock was on the corner of M ain Street and MacDonald. Now it is fastened to the building behind it. I t used to sit on a pedestal at the corner of Main Street an d MacDonald , before they built the big bank building. “Everybody’s Drug ” wa s across the street from it and on the south side of the street on the ea st was, at different times, a drug store and a bank. It was torn down an d they built a new building that is there now. When we first moved to Mes a there was a Piggly Wiggly on the southwest corner of Main and MacDonald . It was later turned into a drug store. When the Mormon pioneers settled Mesa they made the streets real wide. Th ey all had horse and wagons to use. So they made the streets wide enoug h to turn the horse and wagon around in the street without having to bac k up the team of horses. When they got cars then they made parking down b oth sides of the street and down the middle. Most of the shopping was don e around Main Street and MacDonald. There was a Basha's store and three d rug stores in one block besides the Piggly Wiggly. We had a Johnson’s S tore where we bought shoes and clothes and other things. I do know Dadd y took me there and we bought me a pair of shoes one time. The Johnson st ore was where the Woolsworth store was later. It isn’t there either any more. J. C. Penney was on the south side of the street next to the feed s tore on the west end. Later where the Johnsons were, it was a Woolworth†™s store. I was in Franklin School when we enrolled in school here in Mesa. The pu t me in 6B-1 rather than putting me in the fifth grade, because of the no te the teacher in Colorado had put in my report card. The next year I wen t to 7B so I guess I did all right. The students at the school in Frankli n are the ones that I went to High School with and I ended up marrying on e of my classmates. There were several couples that married classmates. L amar and Ruth Perkins, Greta Moody and her husband, Velva Skousen and he r husband Norris Enloe. We lived in several houses in Mesa. One we lived in I used to play jack s with Lyona, and I would get mad at her and tell her I was going to tel l if she didn’t stop cheating, she would yell I was cheating and I woul d be the one that was punished. She used to tickle me so much that I coul dn’t even breathe. I made up my mind one day that I wasn’t going t o be ticklish any more. When she tickled me the next time I didn’t laug h and she wanted to know what was the matter, that I wasn’t ticklish an y more. I told her I wasn’t ticklish any more, no matter how much she t ickled me, and I wasn’t. One house we lived in had a front porch on it. We had two beds on it. Gol die and I slept on one and Winston slept on the other one. One day he cal led Goldie over to where he was still in bed and he pulled the covers bac k and showed where our cat had had her kittens in his bed. We always ha d a cat no matter where we lived. One time I was standing at the fence ta lking to the next-door neighbor. Goldie came out and told me to get up an d I told her I was up, couldn’t she see I was standing at the fence? We ll, she "insisted" I get up and she finally woke me. I was in bed aslee p dreaming. That house we didn’t have an icebox. We hadn’t had any ye t anywhere we lived. Mom and Dad always fixed a crate with a burlap bag o n it. On the top was a pan of water and the bag was in the water on top a nd hung down the sides. It kept our oleo cool even in the summer time. W e lived here when I stared to make the bread. I would put the big kettl e on a chair because I was so short. I had been ironing pillowcases and h andkerchiefs since we lived in the house in Cedar mesa. When mom’s mother died I was about 11 years old. Mom inherited some mon ey from an uncle (possibly a ggg or gggg-uncle) that had left a lot of mo ney to one of his niece’s. When she died the rest of the brothers and s isters got it. When the last one of them died, which was Mom’s mother , then the rest was divided up among the next generation, and Mom was th e youngest of eleven brothers and sisters. She took the money that she in herited and made the down payment on the house we lived in the rest of th e time until Mom sold it after we were all married and on our own. I pain ted the house inside. I also painted the porch she had built on and the f loor of the porch two different times. I painted the outside of the porc h also. I painted the inside of the house all over except the ceilings. A mmon, Goldie’s husband, painted the ceilings. The house wasn’t that l arge. There was a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and she pu t a bathroom in it. With the porch on, it was like two bedrooms added on . One time, before the back porch was built, Winston slept in the fron t room on a regular bed. Winston woke Mom and she asked me what I was doi ng, I told her I was looking for my toothbrush. I was walking in my slee p and feeling all over Winston’s bed for my toothbrush. Which was silly , of course, because they were in the kitchen cupboard. I baked bread eve ry Saturday and also a cake of some kind. One cake I baked was a white ca ke and on the top I put sliced bananas and sprinkled sugar on the top fo r frosting. I didn't like the bananas because they spoiled before we go t the cake all eaten. It was for our lunches and had to last out the scho ol week. So we had home baked bread sandwiches and cake and usually an ap ple in our lunch. We usually had two sandwiches, one lunchmeat and one wi th apple butter and peanut butter. The peanut butter was the cheapest kin d and it always stuck to the roof of our mouth. Mom was working at the Wa ldorf Cafe by this time. It was on Main Street about 3 doors from the cor ner. Mom said I was the housewife and kept the house and she was the brea dwinner after Mom got a divorce when I was 13 years old. Goldie got marri ed about that time too. Winston married Irma Tryon about the time I gradu ated from high school. He built a house on the lot that Mom gave him fo r staying and making the house payments. They were, I think, $25.00 ever y three months. I had to go up to the bank and get a money order to sen d it to the people that sold it to mom. When I started working I would d o all the cooking, do the laundry, iron all the household linens, Mom’ s clothes, Winston’s clothes and mine. The two girls would help me clea n the house from top to bottom every Saturday. I would go to town and bu y the groceries on Saturday. One time I bought $10.00 worth of grocerie s and Mom had spells. Usually I spent $3.00 for groceries, and then I wou ld have to carry them home, usually 2 large sacks full of groceries. Late r on Basha’s started to deliver the groceries for you and then I didn†™t have to carry them any more. I had several boy friends. I hardly eve r went steady. So me of the fellas thought I was going steady but I neve r did. Mom worked at the citrus shed. The lady next door knew we were real har d up and she had mom go down to apply for work and she got it. I worked a t the Nile Theater for a while and then I worked for a family of Tibshera ney’s and also for a Dr. Truman doing housework. Then I started workin g at the citrus shed. We used to put paper on the oranges or grapefruit b efore we put it in the box. I did pretty good doing that. I worked ther e for 6 years. One day they gave everyone else their checks but me. I ha d to go to the office to get mine. When I got there they told me that I h ad gotten the biggest paycheck of that pay period, even more than the pic kers or the bosses. I felt real good. It wasnt too long after that that t hey laid a lot of us off. They kept the ones that were the only breadwinn ers in the family. They weren’t putting papers on them any more, so the y didn’t need so many of us. Mom was the head-grader and had been for s everal years so she was kept on. I took role in the English class. One day Harold Crandall was absent. The re were two Crandall’s, Curly and Harold. Harold had real curly hair. T he teacher was out of the room and some of the other kids were helping m e take role. So I thought that Harold was Curly because his hair was so c urly, so I marked Curly absent. For about two weeks he was absent. I neve r was scolded for that mistake. I guess no one but me knew it. Anyway, th at is the way I met my future husband. I found out his real name was Elto n after we got engaged. I went over to see his mother all the time, whe n I wasn’t working. I got lots of attention because they had no girls a nd I was their first daughter-in-law. It seemed like that was my home s o much of the time. In the block next to the high school there was a lot of grass and a hig h chain link fence surrounded it. In this pasture there were buffalo an d deer just south of that was the armory. The big building that the Natio nal Guard had all their meetings. During the week we had P. E. in the bui lding. I tried to take tap dancing one year. I got so sore I could hardl y ever walk, so.

A TRIP BY WAGON IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES' by M. T. F. ROSENBURG March, 1956 Early on a bright June morning in 1883 my mother, father and my grandfather (Thomas Regan) left Deadwood, South Dakota on a pioneering trip to the Pacific Northwest. They traveled in a high covered Conestoga wagon, drawn by a span of Missouri mules. They carried provisions for a three months trip. They averaged twenty miles a day when the going was good. In those days there were no paved highways, and they were very happy to have a dirt road which many times was not more than a trail. Some of the grades were so steep and rough that it was all the mules could do to get the wagon over them. They traveled out of Deadwood on such a road until they came to the Belle Fourche River and followed it a long way, striking across the Northeast corner of Wyoming. They traveled through cattle country and wandering bands of Indians until they arrived at the Powder River. They followed it north many miles, then turned west and followed the Yellowstone River to Billings, Montana. Traveling old freight-wagon trails which were very dusty and full of holes and ruts, many days they would travel without seeing any habitation or human being. There was a great plenty of game in this part of Montana, especially prairie chickens which are a kind of grouse. They enjoyed them very much. Following freight-wagon trails traveled on to Livingston, then on to Bozeman and then on to Butte, and over the Bitter Root Mountains through One-eyed Gap into Missoula, Montana. These last four towns were typical frontier towns with cowboys and miners in the majority. They passed large farms, mostly in wheat, also many large cattle ranches. The people were friendly and wanted them to stop and take up land and settle there, but they were determined to go to Seattle, so on they went. There were many grim reminders along the wagon trail to keep them always alert. One day as they were traveling through a very sparsely settled part of Montana about fifty miles above the Wyoming border they came upon a scene of devastation. There before them scattered over the prairie were the remains of what appeared to be of two wagons with all the contents burnt and destroyed beyond repair. Of the occupants there was no visible sign. I want to state here that they were following part of a wagon train that was freighting supplies to Miles City. They never did hear what had become of the people whose wagon had been destroyed. The wagon boss of the train that they were with told them that anyone traveling in small parties was in danger of attack, not only from roving bands of Indians, but also from desperados who hid in the hills. This news and the scene on the prairie gave them great worry. They were very lucky as the only Indians they saw were in small numbers. They did not see any Desperados at all. In passing through Montana there were many things which stood out in regard to this trip. One night when they made camp along the Musselshell River some cowboys rode into their camp and advised them to move to higher ground because of flash floods which were common at this time of year. My folks heeded this advice and packed up and moved about a mile above where they were. There was another family camping near the banks of the Musselshell who would not move. During the night a terrific rainstorm occurred and they did have a flash flood that took everything before it, including the family who did not move to higher ground. They lost everything including their lives. Another thing that impressed them was a large wheat field. They could see the wheat waving, but feel no wind. While they were watching the field a man rode up on horseback. After asking about it, he informed them that the waving was caused by very short Indians harvesting wheat. The wheat was so high that the Indians could not be seen as they were only about four feet tall. Between Livingston and Butte, Montana they ran into very bad weather in the form of a cloudburst. The rain started coming down hard in the afternoon and as they were passing a prosperous looking ranch, they stopped and the good people insisted on them staying the night with them. This was the first night they had had a roof over their heads since they had left Deadwood. As the rainstorm was getting worse they were very glad to stay there. During the evening a man and a boy of about eighteen years old arrived, and said they were heading for Butte. They were mounted and each led a pack horse. They said they were going to work in the mines in Butte. The people at the ranch gave them something to eat and told them they could find feed for their horses in the barn and would find a dry place to sleep there also. They were very grateful and did as the farmer suggested. The next morning when my folks got up the man and boy were gone. The farmer said that they left at daybreak. Not long after my folks were on their way, having spent a very restful night. The farmer seemed to be ill at ease as though something were troubling him. On questioning him he told about the horse stealing going on around those parts, and said that if the Vigilantes caught up with the two who had spent the night there it would go bad with them. They would not be given a chance but would be hung to the first tree unless they had positive proof that they owned their horses, especially the two that they led. The farmer decided to ride ahead of my folks to see if the rains did much damage, and also to see if the two men were out of danger. He told them he would ride until noon and then turn back. He started out and they followed. Soon he was out of sight. About four hours later they saw a clump of trees in the distance, and there seemed to be a number of men and horses gathered there. Upon approaching there were the two men, also the farmer and eight other tough-looking men. My folks stopped and there before their eyes were two ropes hanging from a limb of a tree. This was a Vigilante committee. Many horses had been stolen that week and they were out to put a stop to it. So coming upon these two, they decided that they were the ones they were after. The farmer put in a strong plea for them and persuaded them to remove the ropes from their necks until my folks arrived, saying that my folks could vouch that they had stayed at the farmers house the previous night, which was a long way from the district in which the horse stealing had been going on. My folks were glad to do this. After considerable talk the Committee agreed that if the two suspects could produce credentials that were satisfactory they could go free. This should have been done in the first place. The prisoners thought that this band of horsemen riding down on them were desperados, and they tried to outrun them but were soon caught. They protested their innocence, but if the farmer had not arrived when he did they would have been hung pronto. On examining their credentials everything turned out all right. The man had a letter from a big mining man in Butte to come there as superintendent of his mine. The boy was his son, and they were from Colorado. Everything was settled to everyone's satisfaction. The Vigilantes left, and the farmer went home knowing he had done a good deed. The two men stayed with my folks until they reached Butte. I have often thought of that farmer. If he had not taken an interest in the two men and followed it up, they would have been hung, and they were innocent. In writing this account I mention a few experiences in order to show the type of people and a description of the country they were passing through. They had been on the road a little over a month by this time, and it was very warm being about mid-summer. They were enjoying the trip immensely, and everything was going smoothly. On leaving Missoula the road seemed to be climbing --not a direct steep climb but a gradual ascent. They kept plodding on getting into tall timber, something new to them. They went through a gap in the mountains called Kellog Pass, and on August 10th, they drove into Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They stopped a few days to freshen up and give the mules a much needed rest: then on to Spokane, Washington, a thriving city even in those days. Leaving Spokane, they drove in easy stages over barren windswept country to Pasco, Washington, on the great Columbia River. At this place they made a very bad choice of roads. Leaving Pasco, they were directed to take the road to the right where the road forked about five miles out of town. When they came to the fork in the road, the road to the right was such a poor looking road and the road to the left was so much better that they decided to take it. They traveled about ten miles on it and the road just petered out. There they were with the Columbia River on the right and sage brush as high as the wagon all around them, and as far as they could see, nothing but sage brush. They knew they had made a bad mistake, but the worst was yet to come. They did not want to turn back so on they drove going deeper and deeper into sage brush and willows, and just a trail to travel on. They stopped at sundown and made camp. They were tired and discouraged because they didn't know how much further they would have to go through this sage-brush country. The mules were taking a terrific beating and so was the wagon. Many times they wondered if wagon, mules and themselves would get out of this together. They had a good nights rest and got up early to make a fresh start, however, when they went outside (they slept in the wagon) the mules were nowhere to be seen. They were sure in a predicament now, with sage brush as high as their head and a wagon with nothing to pull it and all by themselves. While they were in Pasco the preceding day the town marshal told them to be sure and hobble the mules at night because they had been getting complaints of horse-stealing. Of course as the folks remembered that talk with the marshal it did not help the situation any. They decided that my mother should stay in the wagon while they started out to look for the mules. As their wagon was the only one on the trail they did not have any trouble following the mule tracks which led them right back to Pasco. There they were inside a large corral. The town marshal had picked them up expecting my folks would call for them. In the meantime my mother was very worried (this is putting it mildly). In fact she was so unnerved that she did not eat a bite all day. About four o'clock in the afternoon she thought she heard the men coming back. She climbed up to the front seat of the wagon and sat watching the trail. She sat there five minutes or so when through the sage brush in front of the wagon rode a big buck Indian. And he sat on his horse and looked at her. It could not have been very long but it seemed like hours to her. They had a shotgun strapped to the side of the wagon. My mother reached around, got the gun and put it across her knees, never for a moment taking her eyes off the Indian. They sat staring at each other a little while longer, then the Indian turned his horse around and went back the way he came, for which my mother was very thankful. About a half hour later she heard sounds of horses approaching and she thought the Indian was returning with other Indians. It was the men returning with the two mules. After relating her experiences they had a hasty meal and broke camp, traveling till long past dark. They did not see any more of the Indians and guessed that he was as much surprised to see a woman in a wagon as she was to see him. Following the east bank of the Columbia River they eventually arrived at The Dalles, Oregon. The crossed the river on a ferry: the river being over a mile wide at this place. They were no in the state of Washington again. They started up the longest and steepest grades of their entire trip. After leaving the river it was four days before they saw any form of habitation, and for three days they did not have water either for themselves or the mules. Now and they could catch a glimpse of the river about fifteen miles away but not in the direction they were going, nor was there any way to approach it. In the afternoon of the fourth day there was smoke against the horizon and it proved to be a farm house. The mules were giving them a bad time as they were in desperate straits for want of water. This farm was like an oasis in the desert. The farmer was very friendly and urged them to settle in that locality, but they said they had started out for Seattle so on they went. They arrived at Yakima, Washington where they remained resting for about a week. The people in Yakima informed them that they could not take their wagons over Snoqualmie Pass as there was no road over, only a mule trail which they found to be true. They drove to the end of the read in Snoqualmie Pass and pulled the wagon off the road amount the trees, intending to go back the following year and get it. Them mounting the mules, they rode them into Seattle. It took them five days to reach Seattle from the time they left the wagons. This was September, 1883. My father did go back the following year, but the wagon and everything in it was gone. They liked Seattle as everything was so green and fresh looking, and the weather was very mild. On November, 27th, 1883, my sister Agnes was born just two months after they arrived. On September 28, 1886, a son was born and christened Martin. On October 11, 1889 another son was born and christened John. On March 17, 1890 they took up a homestead in south Snohomish County, about three miles northeast of the city of Bothell, Washington. The homestead proved to be too lonesome. The nearest neighbors were about two miles away, and there was too much back-breaking labor so they sold out everything in 1895 and moved back to Seattle. My mother, Christina Ellen Regan, was born in Minneapolis, June 7, 1863. Her family moved to Deadwood, S.D. in 1869. My mother and father (Henry Rosenburg) were married Dec 5, 1882 in a little town named Rosenville, (note - April 15, 1883 in Lead City, SD according to records from the Catholic Bishops house in Lead City, S.D. dated May 21, 1917) about ten miles from Deadwood, by a Catholic Priest named Father Rosen. Henry Rosenburg was born in Stuttgrad, Germany. This story is about the my Grandmother and Great Grandfather was written by my Uncle Martin Rosenburg in 1956 and edited by me in 2000.

Nantucket Records == Old Profile Text and Material == The following has been taken from the original profile at [[Coffin-221|Tristram Coffin]] and placed here as reference material. Notes "He was the emigrant ancestor of this family. He was born in Brixham (Brixton) parish, Plymouth, England, in 1609, baptized March 11, 1610, being the son of Peter and Joanna Coffin. His father died about 1640, it is supposed; and the son taking his mother, sisters, Eunice and Mary, his wife Dionis and children, Peter, Tristram, Elizabeth, James, and John came to New England in 1642. His mother died in May 166, aged 77. After a brief stay at Salisbury and Haverhill, he settled in Newbury abut 1648. In 1654, he returned to Salisbury, remaining there until 1660, when he removed to Nantucket. He was an enterprising and intelligent man. It is said that he was the first to use a plow in Haverhill. In Salisbury, he was commissioner to try small causes and otherwise honored. In 1659, he united with others in forming a company to purchase and settle the island of Nantucket. They paid for in L30 and two beaver hats. Here he spent the remainder of his life, dying December 2, 1681, aged 72. He became one of the leaders of the company and was commissioned, June 22, 1671, by Francis Lovelace, Chief Magistrate of the Island. This commission testified to the fitness and capacity of Mr. Coffin. In several instances and probably always spelled his name Coffyn." Book, The Ancestors of Jane Maria Greenleaf, 1906, by, William F.J. Boardman, pages 85 and 86. Tristram and his family plus his mother and his two sisters had moved to Newbury by 1647. Tristram was authorized by the General Court to, "keep and ordinary and also a ferry" to carry passengers from Newbury to Salisbury. By 1652, he was taxed in Salisbury where he signed his name "Commissoner of Salisbury until 1660. In Salisbury, Tristram, along with Peter Folger, organized a company of 10 proprietors for the purchase and settlement of Nantucket. On 2 July 1659, they agreed to purchase nine-tenths of the island from Gov. Thomas Mayhew for 10 pounds and other considerations plus two beaver hats, one for Mayhew, the other for his wife. At the time, beaver hats were the fashion in Europe and in America. The ten proprietors included Christopher Hussey and Stephen Greenleaf. Stephen was Trstram's son-in-law. In July 1661, house lots were awarded and Tristram Coffin was given first choice. For many years, Trstram lived there and he with his son Peter, held controlling interest in the island. At that time, Nantucket was under the jurisdiction of New York and Tristram was appointed Governor of the Island in 1671(Albany Deeds, volume 3, 26). Two years later his commission is found in the Massachusetts Records. He held this office until 1680. N37Tristam always spelled his name "Coffyn" but his descendants used "Coffin" as do most sources on his life He was a Brixton church warden from 1639 to 1640, and was a constable in 1641 Tristram Coffin sailed to Boston in 1642 with his wife and children, his two sisters and his mother. For a short time he ran an inn in Salisbury, Massachusetts. He then moved to the new settlement of Pentucket, now Haverhill, Massachusetts. His name appears on a deed dated 15 November 1642 recording the sale of the land for the settlement by the local American Indian people. He is said to have used a plow that he had made himself to cultivate the land. It was here that his last four children were born. In 1648 he left the farm and moved to Newbury, Massachusetts. Here he operated a ferry across the Merrimack River and he and his wife ran a tavern. In 1653 his wife was "presented" for selling beer above the legal price of two pennies per quart. However, she was acquitted when it was found that her beer was much stronger than the ordinary.] Coffin sold the inn and ferry in 1654 or 1655 and moved to Salisbury, Massachusetts, where he signed himself "Tristram Coffyn, Commissioner of Salisbury. Tristram Coffin and other Salisbury investors bought Nantucket island from Thomas Mayhew on 2 July 1659. The purchase price was 30 pounds plus two beaver hats made by his son, also called Tristram. Coffin was the prime mover of the enterprise and was given first choice of land. In 1659 he settled near the western end of the island near Capaum pond. His sons Peter Coffin, Tristam Coffin Junior and James Coffin also received land on the island. Soon after settling, Tristam Coffin purchased the thousand-acre Tuckernuck Island at the western end of Nantucket. On 10 May 1660 the sachems conveyed title to a large part of the island to Coffin and his associates for eighty pounds. He built a corn mill in which he employed many of the local Native Americans, and he employed others on his farm. In 1671 Coffin and Thomas Macy were selected as spokesmen for the settlers, going to New York in 1671 to meet with Governor Francis Lovelace and secure their claim to Nantucket. As the most wealthy and respected of the settlers, Coffin was appointed chief magistrate of Nantucket on 29 June 1671. In 1677 he was again appointed chief magistrate for a term of four years. Tristram Coffin died on 2 October 1681 at the age of 76. During the years before his death, he had bestowed much of his property on his children and grandchildren. He was buried on his property on Nantucket Island. At his death he left seven children, 60 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. One of his grandchildren calculated that by the year 1728, the number of his descendants was 1582,of whom 1128 were still alive. HISTORICAL EVENTS: A feud broke out amongst the early settlers of Nantucket. On one side, the Coffin’s and their friends, on the other side, the brothers Richard and John Gardner and their friends. The feud is thought to have developed from the divergent temperaments of Tristram and Capt. John Gardner. Tristram was a natural leader, but had tendencies to be irritable and despotic. Capt. John Gardner was a man of physical courage, rugged honesty and democratic in his dealings, traits that gained him public confidence. The estrangement between the Coffin and the Gardner families ended soon after Tristram’s death in 1681. Tristram’s eldest grandson Jethro and Jethro’s brother, Edward, married Mary and Anna Gardner. After 1681, James, another grandson of Tristram, married Love Gardner and later married, Ruth Gardner. Six other children of Richard Gardner married grandchildren of Tristram Coffin, among these, Tristram’s grandson, Samuel Coffin, married Richard Gardner’s daughter, Miriam and became my direct ancestors. === Notes === Note N212Tristram Coffin & his wife Dionis Stephens had two sons who were both ancestors to Seth Way, husband of Sarah Cranor.

This space page has been created to store additional information collected in the research of [[Montgomery-576|Troilus Montgomery]] as part of a profile improvement undertaken as part of the Tartan Trail under the Scotland Project. == Do early genealogies and peerages support Troilus as a historical person? == === Reliability of historical peerages and genealogies === It is recognised in research, that early private and published genealogies served a purpose in promoting strong kinship identity through times where the bonds of family were being stretched through migration and intermarriage. They were an attempt to “impose a powerful sense of retrospective order on a highly dispersed social reality”. “[G]enealogy – however bogus in certain particulars, however implausible in its remoter reaches – lent ... distinction and status during [a family’s] relentless rise.” Allan, David. "'What's in a Name?': Pedigree and Propaganda in Seventeenth-Century Scotland." Chap. 7 In Scottish History: The Power of the Past, edited by Edward J. Cowan and Richard J. Finlay, 147-67: Edinburgh University Press, 2002. p. 149, 150 & 153. A family’s control over and enjoyment of their estates, beyond physical possession, depended on their ability to prove their entitlement. Genealogies provided the framework for their assertions. The genealogists were often limited in their access to historical records, reliant on versions swayed by family self-interest and prone, as with modern day on-line genealogies, to replicating past errors without careful reference to sources. These family genealogies were progressively collected to document the ‘peerage’ of the Scottish nation. === Troilus in documented peerages === The place of Troilus in Scottish genealogies is tenuous. Genealogies compiled in the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries, are not history. Allan, David. "'What's in a Name?': Pedigree and Propaganda in Seventeenth-Century Scotland."

''Montgomeries.'' -- This surname is here so written according to the modernised orthography adopted in the first edition, from the commencement of the volume to page 169. In the original manuscript, however, the plural form of the surname was invariably written ''Montgomerys'', a spelling from which the author never appears to have deviated. In such of his manuscripts as are still preserved, the surname is always ''Montgomery'' in the singular number and ''Montgomerys'' in the plural. In a letter of the author to his kinsman, William Montgomery, of Gransheogh, dated November, 1701, he says:-- "I wold have your son take notice, that our sirname, in ye the pattents of our family, and in ye acts of parliament, both of England, and Ireland, and in all printed books, historys, and others, in our three kingdoms, (wch I can show your,) is spelled as I subscribe it, as divers gentlemen of estate doe, and as the count Montgomery, in Normandy, did, and yet doth, as I have prooved in a paper I wrot to that purpose, and concerning ye rectifying of ye subscription of sirnames; of wch many persons have heedlessly taken upon custom to write them ye wrong way, wch imports an ignorance occasioned by carelessness." In the text we have the simple but comprehensive title prefixed by the author to his Manuscripts.Montgomery, William. The Montgomery Manuscripts (1603-1706): Compiled from Family Papers - Vol. I.

''Any ways learne.'' -- It is supposed that there had existed at Eglinton Castle a MS. account of the Montgomery family in Scotland, which was destroyed when that old pile was burnt by the Cunninghams, in 1528. Our author's work, therefore, on this subject, is the earliest existing attempt to illustrate the family history, and it is especially valuable, because treating of persons who came within the reach of his personal knowledge, and events that had occurred during the period of his own life. Since these memoirs were written, the following compilations have been made, intended by their authors chiefly to illustrate the genealogical history of the Montgomerys:-- # Hugh Montgomerie, of Broomlands, in the parish of Irvine, compiled, prior to the year 1760, what is known as the '''''Broomlands Manuscript''''', containing records of the Montgomery family from an early period. The author of this work, which is still in MS., died in 1766, aged eighty years. # John Hamilton Montgomery, of Barnahill, in the county of Ayr, who was captain in the 76th regiment, wrote a '''''Genealogy of the Family of Montgomery, compiled from various authorities''''', which also remains in manuscript. -- Paterson, ''Account of the Parishes and Families of Ayrshire'', vol. ii., p. 229, ''note''. # Mrs. E. G. S. Reilly printed for private circulation, in 1842, '''''A Genealogical History of the Family of Montgomery, comprising the lines of Eglinton and Braidstane in Scotland, and Mount-Alexander and Grey-Abbey in Ireland'''''. This lady was the daughter of the Rev. Hugh Montgomery of Rosemount, who died in 1815, and a descendant, through John Gransheogh, in common with the author of the ''Montgomery Manuscripts'', in the Braidstane line. # William Anderson printed at Edinburgh, in 1859, '''''A Genealogical Account of the Family of Montgomerie, formerly of Brigend of Doon, Ayrshire, male and lineal representative of the ancient and noble families of Eglinton and Lyle'''''. This account commences only with the commencement of the sixteenth century. # James Fraser published, at Edinburgh, in1859, two volumes 4to, entitled,''' ''Memorials of the Montgomeries Earls of Eglinton'''''. This is a most valuable work, principally because in it are printed many original letters, charters, and marriage contracts. The letters contain much important information on public as well as family affairs, between the years 1170 and 1728. # Thomas Harrison Montgomery published, at Philadelphia, in 1863, '''A Genealogical History of the Family of Montgomery, including the Montgomery Pedigree''', -- a work which contains much information respecting the families of this surname who emigrated to the United States. In his preface, the author says:-- "Many years ago, my attention was drawn to the examination of records and doings of the generations of the Montgomerys, immediately preceding that one which came to America. This was due chiefly to the perusal of documents and papers brought from Scotland to this country by the first one of the family who crossed the ocean. William Montgomery, of Brigend, now more than one hundred and sixty years ago, came with his wife and children, and settled in the province of East New Jersey, on the lands of his father-in-law, who was one of its largest proprietors. He brought, with much care, many valuable manuscripts relating to his ancestry, the majority of which are preserved by his representative at this day; many are undoubtedly missing, as no special attention seemed to be paid to their preservation by his descendants, until within the last thirty years."Rev. George Hill, footnote 5, in Montgomery, William. The Montgomery Manuscripts (1603-1706): Compiled from Family Papers - Vol. I. Belfast: Archer and Sons, 1869. pp. 2-3. Memorandum—It is observed and said by Mr. Ja. Montgomery, y* young laird of langshaw (ftnte: Laird of Lanshaw - See p. 350 supra.) (who hath a good imploym in the Courts of Judicature in Scotland, and is richly married in Edin burgh ), that gen"7 the Montgomerys of that kingdom (especially y* Cadetts of familys) have raised themselves by lands or togher goods(ftnte: Togher goods. - see p. 377. supra) ( i.e. , marriage portions) gotten by women whom they wedded, it seems when born they have been wrapped in their mothers smocks, but that good fortune hath not so universally happened to our Surname in Ireland, Montgomery, William.

From the date of the first viscount's death, in 1636, until the death of the first earl , in 1663, the times were indeed troubled. Subsequently to the latter date, the fortunes of the family had greatly declined, and the means of erecting costly monuments, even if there had been the desire to do so, no longer existed. Probably the same cause prevented also the Scottish branches of the family from the erection of monuments ; as, of all the once numerous and potent houses of this surname in Ayrshire, or rather in the district of Cunningham , not one such is known to exist, save that which was erected in 1637 by Sir Robert Montgomerie of Skelmorlie, in the church of Largs. The family vault of Eglinton is beneath the parish church, and precludes, therefore, the idea of any monumental display. But it is a fact still more remarkable, that no lettered stones remain in the burial places of that district to mark the graves of humbler members of the clan. Not even in the church or churchyard of Beith is there a monumental trace of the family of Braidstane, or Giffen , or Hessilhead, or Bogstown, or Craighouse. Rev. George Hill, footnote 100, in Montgomery, William. The Montgomery Manuscripts (1603-1706): Compiled from Family Papers - Vol. I. Belfast: Archer and Sons, 1869. p. 145. == James Paterson, History of Ayrshire == John Montgomerie of Eagleshame having married Elizabeth, heiress of Sir Hugh, the Giffen property remained in the possession of the Montgomeries of Eglinton for several centuries. The barony seems to have been regarded as the messuage of the Master or heir apparent of Eglinton. "John, first Lord Montgomerie, gave this estate to his second son, Robert, and who was succeeded in it by his desendants. As, however, there appears a charter of date 1452, in which the Laird of Giffen is distinctly called William Montgomerie, it should seem that either the estate (as from its extent it might well) was parcelled out among different branches of the family or, like to the titles in a German principality, all the branches used them in common. However this may be, it is certain that the whole was resumed by their chief, Hugh, first Earl of Eglinton, who, in 1505 had it all comprehended in a special charter to himself, dated at Stirling on 23 of April that year. After this, it was a different times given off, as a portion to yhounger branches of the Eglinton family: as in the reign of Queen Mary, when Hugh, the third Earl, gave Giffen to his second son, Robert, who failing of male issue, it returned again to the main house, where it remained till Alexander, the sixth Earl, gave it to his second son, Sir Henry Montgomerie of Giffen; and falling back again for want of male issue, it was finally alienated by Hugh, the seventh Earl of Eglinton, to his second son Francis Montgomerie of Giffen; prior to the year 1669, the year in which the Earl died. This gret lordship included originally, besides Giffen of the present day, the lands of Hessilhead, Broadstone, Ramshead, Trearne, and Roughwood, extending in all to 3788, 9s. 10d. of valuation; which is considerably more than half the valued rent of Beith Parish.Paterson, James. History of the County of Ayr: With a Genealogical Account of the Families of Ayrshire - Vol. I. Ayr: John Dick, 1847. p. 342. p. 286. '''IV. Alexander Montgomerie of Giffen''', the eldest son, died before 23d April, 1505. In ''Douglas' Baronage'', this Alexander is confounded with Alexander Montgomerie of Braidstane, who was alive in 1595, the date of the royal charter to Hugh, Lord Montgomerie, of the barony of Giffen, which was recognosced and regranted. His issue, it appears from Douglas' Baronage, did not succeed to Giffen, and acquired other properties: --
1. '''''Troilus Montgomerie'''''. He was living in 1538, when he was witness to a deed of Jonet Montomerie, widow of James Wallace of Carnell. In the Baronage, Troilus is made son of Adam, and grandson of Alexander: but there is no evidence of Adam's existence, and dates are against it. The Baronage also makes Troilus a contemporary of James VI., which must be a mistake, as he was witness to a deed by Jonet Montgomerie, widow of James Wallace of Carnell, dated 6th January, 1538.* Another error in Douglas' Baronage, with regard to him, is the statement of his having married the daughter of Sir Hugh Montgomerie of Braidstane, who did not marry till 1787, and that his sons by her were born respectively in 1590 and 1598! A farther blunder occurs in the Baronage as to the time this family became possessed of Macbie-hill. It is there said that the eldest son of Troilus, called William, born in 1590, acquired the property, and left it to his brother;''' but we find, from unquestionable authority, that'''
2. '''Robert Montgomerie of Macbie-hill''', who got a charter of legitimation, dated 4th March, 1531, for his two natural sons, William and John, possess these lands in 1548; and he and John Montgomerie, on the 20th and 21st November, 1543, found Gilbert, Earl of Cassillis, surety for underlying the law, &c., for abiding from armies of the Queen. His lawful issue appears to have been a son,
:Robert, who succeeded him. Robert Montgomerie of Macbie-hill appears to have had issue --
::1. Adam, who is the first laird of Macbie-hill mentioned in the Retours, whose son, Robert, died before 27th July, 1655. ::2. Agnes, married George Montgomerie, fourth son of Robert Montgomerie of Skelmorlie and one of the family of Kirktonholm, who was living 28th June, 1611.Paterson, James.

A very ancient seal of this branch of the Montgomeries of Giffen is in possession of Captain J. H. Montgomerie, Edinburgh, which belonged to the Knockewart family. It cam by a daughter of Scotston, who married an ancestor of Captain Montgomerie's. It is the same as the arms of Sir Grahame Montgomerie of Stanhope, only it is differenced in the centre of the cross by "ane anchor," which shows a brotherly difference, and indicates that Patrick's father was a younger brother; an the crescents in the cross are in the extremity, '''as in the Macbie-hill arms'''.Paterson, James. History of the County of Ayr: With a Genealogical Account of the Families of Ayrshire - Vol. I. Ayr: John Dick, 1847. p. 288. 3. The '''Rev. Robert Montgomerie, minister of Stirling''': afterwards, between 1581 and 1589, '''Archbishop of Glasgow'''; and latterly minister of Symington, is stated, in the "Chronicle of Scots Poetry," to have been probably one of this family. [Hessilhead] The editor of that work thinks that some religous poems were written by a Robert Montgomerie, who he presumes, is identical with this clergyman. It is said he declared, when minister at Symington, that he was a happier man than when Archbishop of Glasgow -- an observation which is calculated to give a favourable impression of his state of mind in his latter years, as he seems to have resigned his grandeur without regret.Paterson, James. History of the County of Ayr: With a Genealogical Account of the Families of Ayrshire - Vol. I. Ayr: John Dick, 1847. p. 291. IV. '''James Wallace of Carnell''' who, as previously mentioned, was, in 1527, amerciated for intercommuning with the sheriff of Ayr, then at the horn for the slaughter of the Earl of Cassillis. In the records of Prestwick, he is mentioned in the following minute:-- "July 17, 1531. Quo die, James Wallace, Lard of Carnell, comperand in jugement, askyt to be enterit be ane breve of fawore, as use of burghts ys, to vij akeris of medow, layand wtin. ye boundis&fredome of ye said burght, as nerest & lanchful ayr to wmquyl ''Adame Wallace of Carnel, his grandsr.,'' to be haldin of ye and burght in feu ferme, payand zerly: [left blank]. From original papers in the possession of Lieutenant Fullarton of Overton, he appears to have married ''Janet Montgomerie'', probably of Giffen, by whom he had his successor:-- "June 6, 1538, "Jonet Montgomery, relict of vinqle ''James Wallace of Carnall''," grants a discharge to "ane honorable man, Mongo Mure of Rowallane," of a certain sum, "for ye completing of ye marriage of ''Hew Wallace of ye Carnell, my soun, wt. Isabel Mure'', dochter to the said Mongo," &c. To this document, ''Troilus Montgomerie'', second son of Adam Montgomerie of Giffen, is a witness. From this document, we learn that ''James Wallace of Carnale'' died before 1538, and that his son and successor was
V. Hew Wallace of Carnell.Paterson, James. History of the County of Ayr: With a Genealogical Account of the Families of Ayrshire - Vol. I. Ayr: John Dick, 1847. p. 342. Foortnote p. 229
The '''Broomlands manuscript''', from which the above extract is taken, was composed by Hugh Montgomerie of Broomlands, about 1750. The earlier portion of it is presumed to have been gleaned from some ancient record of the family, a fragment of which may have escaped the general destruction of the evidents of Eglintoun in 1528, when the castle was consumed by fire in a foray led on by the Master of Glencairn. In a "Genealogy of the Family of Montgomerie, compiled from various authorities by the late Captain J. H. Mongtomerie, 76th Regiment, formerly of Barnahill, in the County of Ayr," the MS. of which was kindly placed in our hands for some time by the author, the origin of the Montgomeries is traced back to the Counts of Hiemes, a territory in Lower Normandy forming part of the ancient Armorica, "who were hereditary before the reign of Pepin, who ascended to the throne of France, in the year 749." Much of the writer's data is infreential, consequently it may be doubted, still his deductions are extremely probable.Paterson, James. History of the County of Ayr: With a Genealogical Account of the Families of Ayrshire - Vol. II. Edinburgh: Thomas George Stevenson, 1852. p. 229. Th last sheet of this work was on the eve of being sent to the press when a gentleman called from America. He said he had seen the account of the "Montgomeries of Brigend" in the fourth part of Vol II., and it was, in a main fact, incorrect -- the family being still in existence, and not extinct, as represented. In asserting that the Brigend Montgomeries were extinct, we followed Robertson, and had been misled by the Broomland MS. From the facts now in our possession, the real descent of the family appears to stand thus:--
I. William Montgomerie of Brigend, of the Lainshaw branch of Montgomeries, "who is presumed to have married Jean Montgomerie, heiress of Brigend."* He had issue, four sons, as mentioned in the History of the County. John, the eldest, married, not Agnes Scot, but Elizabeth Baxter. According to the marriage contract -- which is much destroyed by damp, or otherwise -- it appeared that the marriage took place in 1626. In that document he is styled eldest "son of William Montgomerie of Brigend," and his spouse, "Elizabeth Baxter, dochter laufull of umqle. Thomas Baxter." . . . Amongst others, "'''Adam Montgomerie of Magbe''', and William Weddro, writer in Glasgow," gave their consent to the union. John died before his father, leving issue by his wife, Elizabeth Baxter, the eldest of whom, Hew, succeeded his grandfather..Paterson, James.

They possess hardly any historical interest'; and, with the exception of those of the royal burgh of Irvine, none of them are of an earlier date than about the middle of the seventeenth century. The records of the old district Baily Court have latterly been removed to the General Register House in Edinburgh, the jurisdiction of the court being now united to that of the Sheriff and his substitutes. The records of the presbytery of Irvine -- which till very recently included the entire district -- as now preserved, begin only in the year 1646, nor from that time are they altogether complete, some volumes being lost.Pont, Timothy.

Glasgow, 1858. p. xxi. == George Robertson, Topographical Description of Ayrshire == '''VII. JOHN DE MONTGOMERY''' of Eagleshame, Eglinton, and Ardrossan, succeeded to his father soon after 1392. In 1423 he was one of the hostages for the ransom of James I., at which time his revenue is set down at 700 merks, whilst that of Hamilton is rated at 400, and of Gordon at 400. In 1429 he appears among the Lords in Parliament. Nisbet says he was advanced to that dignity in 1427. He married Margaret, daughter of Sir Robert Maxwell of Caerlavrock. '''From the second son of this marriage are descended the Montgomeries of Stanhope and of Macbeth-hill, the eldest Cadets of the family.''' The Glencairn and the Kilmarnock families, are descended from his two daughters. He was succeeded by his eldest son,
'''IX. ALEXANDER second LORD MONTGOMERY''', who was in high consideration during the reigns of James I. and James II. and held several public offices or employments. He died about the year 1461 or soon after. He married Margaret, daughter of Sir Robert Boyd of Kilmarnock, by whom he had three sons and three daughters. From the second son, George, descended the Montgomeries of Skelmorley. The daughters were married: the 1st to the Earl of Lennox; the 2nd to Lord Kennedy; and the 3rd to Cunninghame of Glengarnock. His eldest son,
'''X. ALEXANDER''', (Douglas calls him Andrew,) died before his father, in 1452. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Adam Hepburn of Hales, and by her had issue, three sons and a daughter. Robert, the second, was ancestor to the Montgomeries of Braidstone, afterwards Earls of Mount Alexander; Hugh, the third son, was ancestor of the Montgomeries of Hazelhead -- both families are now extinct. The daughter was married to Lord [p. 209.] Home, at the time Laird of Lainshaw and other lands in the neighbourhood. The eldest son,
'''XI. ALEXANDER''', succeeded his grandfather, and was third Lord Montgomery. In 1465 he had a Charter of the lands of Bonington and Pilton in the county of Edinburgh. He married Catherine, daughter of Lord Kennedy, by whom he had two sons; the second, James, was designed of Smithston. The eldest,
'''XI. HUGH''', fourth Lord Montgomery, was born about the year 1460, was created Earl of Eglinton in 1507, and died in a good old age after the 3d Oct, in 1545, the last time he is mentioned in Parliament. '''In his time began the great feud betwixt the families of Eglinton and Glencairn, which seems to have been carried on with much animosity on both sides for more than 100 years,''' and attended with the loss of many lives. The first great exploit recorded was the sacking of the House of Kerelaw and carrying off the goods, by this Lord, for which he got a remission from the Crown, in Oct. 1488. This was one of the principal messuages belonging to the Earl of Glencairn. The Cuninghames do not seem to have been able at the time to retaliate, but they did not forget the visit; but treasuring it up in their minds till about 40 years after, they took their opportunity, and burnt the Castle of Eglinton to the ground, and with it all the papers and Charters. This appears in a new Charter granted in 1528 by James V. This Earl appears to have been implicated also in a feud against the Laird of Lochleven in Fife. In this he was joined with Lord Sempil, Sir Neil Montgomery, and Stirling of Keir and for which they were all included in a summons for treason, dated 21 st June 1526. Keir only was forfeited, as he was probably the principal in the transaction, but, in a short time after, was restored. The Earl married Lady Helen Campbell daughter of Colin Earl of Argyle, by whom he had issue, six sons: 1. Alexander, Master Montgomery, who died before his father was advanced to the dignity of Earl; 2. [p. 210.] John, Master of Eglinton; Sir Neil Montgomery the first of Lainshaw; 4. William of Greenfield, who married Elisabeth, the daughter of Robert Frances of Stane, by which he acquired that property near Irvine; 5 Hugh; and '''6, Robert who in 1530, was the bishop of Argyle.'''
'''XIII. JOHN, Master of Eglinton''', was keenly engaged also in feuds with the Cunninghames, particularly with Craigends, as appears in the Parliamentary Records in 1505, in which he is called ten different times to answer, but does not once think fit to appear -- but the matter seems to have afterwards accommodated. He was himself killed in Edinburgh, in the affray known by the name of "Cleanse the Causey," in April 1520. He married Elisabeth, daughter of Sir Archibald Edmonstone of Duntreath, by whom he had two sons: Archibald; 2. Hugh; and a daughter who married to Douglas of Drumlanrig, and from which marriage are descended the present families of Buccleugh and Queensberry.Robertson, George.

The Abenaki appealed for the return of their wives and children who had been captured and taken away during Col. Benjamin Church's Second Expedition. With a promise of peaceful relations, the parties agreed to organize the exchange in November. The scheduled meeting occurred but the Abenaki brought fewer prisoners than expected. A long parlay led to temporary truce and cessation of hostilities until the following May, when more prisoners would be exchanged. :This meeting was mentioned in a letter received by Frontenac on 10 Oct 1690, warning him of an impending attack.

=== By Nellie Baker Stewart === ''The following text has been transcribed exactly as written by Nellie Baker Stewart.'' ''Return to the [[Baker-31263|Nellie Mae Baker]] Profile.'' My parents were "Easterners". They were from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They were married there Sept. 11th, 1883 Some years before, my father's folks had migrated to Missouri so of course, my father knew something of the West as Missouri was called in those days. Mother, of course, knew nothing of pioneer living and had much to learn when she and father decided to go West also. Father bought mother a riding outfit, a pony and a nice little side saddle, which did much to soothe her feelings as she was learning to rough it. In those days there were no trade Unions as we know them today. The mills would be closed for months at a time when the owners so desired and there was nothing the workers, either skilled or unskilled, could do about it. The money saved for a rainy day always had to be spent because the rainy days always came. My father was a skilled worker, a puddler, a maker of wrought iron in Pittsburgh, the iron and steel center of the U.S.A., if not of the world. In those days the puddler had charge of the furnace and hired his helpers.. My parents, thinking of ways to overcome the unemployment situations that came every so often, bought a farm in Missouri, on which was a good log house, a log barn and other out buildings, and a wonderfully fine bearing orchard. I was three years old at the time. In order to pay for the farm my father would go back to Pittsburgh when the mills were working: and we would go with him if the term of work would justify, or if he would be gone for only a short time, we would remain on the farm. Hence we lived in Pittsburgh as much as we lived in Missouri and called both places home. Most of our schooling, however was in the East, although I have memories of some wonderful terms in our country school in Missouri. At one time in our lives my father was Superintendent of a mining operation which was only about twenty miles from our farm but across the river from us, and through a through a wooed area where the road was little more than a trail. My father would come home for the week end and leave for work on Sunday afternoon by horse and buggy, first fording the river. Father taught mother to shoot in case she should have to protect us during his absence. In the winter evenings by the light of an oil lamp, I would be playing on the floor and mother would be rocking the baby and singing. The floor boards would occasionally creak under the under the rocker as the rag carpet did little to muffle the sound. All would be well until mother would stop both rocking and singing. When that happen, I would look up to see my mother quietly listening. Then is when I would fly to her side and she would put her arms around us and assure us that all was well, even though she, herself was not so sure The behavior of the watch dog would tell us if something unusual was happening out doors. Sometimes the squawk of a chicken would indicate an intruder in the hen house and my mother would fire a few shots in that direction and we could hear the sneak thieves hastening away. One night, our dog, Spot came to the door and barked until mother opened the door, then he would advance a few yards towards the orchard and look back to see if she were following. If she hesitated he would run to her and bark some more, then run on toward the orchard. He was so insistent and seemed to know that she should follow so she went back to the house for the gun. Our early apples were ripening so some natives were helping themselves. they were too proud to ask for some but were not too proud to steal. Mother fired a few shots in the general direction of those apple trees and we could hear them scrambling over the fence in their haste to get away Years later when I was old enough to climb the big tree, I saw the culprits' initials cut in the bark up near the top. Most little girls love to play house and we were no exceptions. There seldom any little boys around and my playmates were all girls so in order to have a daddy we would use a long stick. Our dolls were our children and if we wanted more , we would dress up anything available. Perhaps it would be a stick of stove wood or a pumpkin or squash or perhaps the old cat, who was tame and lazy. They were very real to us and we enjoyed our play as much as any child could. Sometimes we played store and one favorite game was playing millinery shop. I love to trim hats and the hats were large leaves of plantain or rhubarb and the trimming was to be found in abundance. Wild flowers of every hue and chicken feathers galore, which we pinned on with thorns. Lily Dache would not be more proud of her creations than we were of ours. Mother had been a dress maker before her marriage so of course her sewing was much in use as she made all or clothes. I cannot remember when I didn't sew on the machine. Mother declared that I could sew at three and I have been told that on one occasion the needle went through my finger. When I was older I was always busy trying to make doll dresses out of scraps and one day I was very unhappy because the scraps were too small. Mother said, "How would you like to ride to town and buy some material to make your doll some pretty dresses?" As my face lighted up, she said "Ask Uncle Will to saddle Prince and you may buy some pretty prints at the store." Prince was saddled and off I went into town a very happy girl and my dolly had some pretty new dresses. I must tell you about Prince. We had him when he was a little colt, he followed us like a dog. He loved us and we loved him and petted him so much that he didn't seem to care when we first put a saddle on him. The three of us children would climb on his back and go for a ride. We still had mothers side saddle and I sat in it as I was the oldest of we three children. I held my little sister Elvy on my lap and my sister Gertrude rode behind me and held onto my waist. Of course I held the bridle and guided Prince. Some of the children of the neighborhood, a little more experienced than we, were riding without a saddle to show of there ability to stick on their horse with only a saddle blanket to sit on. We pleaded with mother to please let try to ride without the saddle. She doubted that we could stay on the horse but finally allowed us to try and hoped that Prince would take care of us. We were sent on an errand about three or four miles away. We went horse back on a road through the woods. My sister who rode behind me loved to pull leaves from the branches as we rode under them. We had been warned not to do that, especially when we were not using he saddle. But she forgot and held onto a branch a little too long and the three of us slid off and right under Prince who stood still and didn't step on one of us. We used Prince as a lawn mower because he would eat the grass but not eat the shrubs or flowers. One hot night, I was sleeping in a hammock at the end of our big porch. I was awakened and when I opened my eyes I saw two big eyes right over me. It was Prince, of course. He came to check on me. He often did that but the first time was a little bit frightening. There was a lot of sorghum cane raised in Missouri in those days and the making of molasses was one of the fall chores. Some one in the neighborhood would make it for all the families of the neighborhood and would keep some of the molasses for payment. Most families had a barrel of molasses in the smoke house. Molasses taffy parties were held and taffy pulling was a lot of fun. When I was eleven, I had a big baby sitting experience. My mother was called away one day on account of sickness and a family of four or five cousins, all younger than I, came to our house. Our uncle Will had kept an eye on us but it fell to my lot to try to entertain them and my two sisters. I decided to make molasses cookies because we had a whole barrel of molasses. Reading from my mothers cook book I made what looked like molasses cookies. I don't remember how they tasted. When a batch came out of the oven I lined up the youngsters and sat them in a row along one kitchen wall and doled out the cookies. I did that every time a batch came out of the oven. Needless to say, Mother had a very sticky kitchen to clean up and both my mother and my aunt had sticky youngsters to bathe and shampoo. One morning I was sent to the smoke house on an errand and when I opened the door I sensed that something was wrong. The floor was all shiny and looked like a pool. I found that a stray dog had tunneled under the sill and pulled the spigot from the molasses barrel and the shiny floor was really molasses - a whole barrel of it. The cousins nearest my age were boys. They sometimes came to our house and would entertain me with tales of their camping and fishing trips and some of their physical fetes. They told me that they had jumped from one of our upstairs windows and implied that girls could not do that. Time and again I would go to that window and wonder if I could really do it. It was a long jump and I would think about it awhile, then decide I had better not try. But one day I felt rather brave and out the window I jumped. I lit on both feet but Oh how I wished I hadn't because both feet became numb and it was a while before i felt normal and I'm not sure that I didn't really injure my feet. I didn't tell anyone about it for a long, long time because I knew that I had done wrong I hope that no children will do anything like that. I could have broken bones and caused myself suffering and my parents much concern. We girls must let boys brag about their physical prowess and remember that girls don't do things like that. My father was a wonderful teller of tales. He had read "Gulliver's Travels" so he would tell us about the travels, only he substituted himself for Gulliver. He would say, " Now children get your geography and find the map of Africa." Now find Zanzibar or some other place and we were sure he had made the trip because the places were real. When he would tell us about the cute little Lilliputians, who were only six inches tall and the giant Brodbignags and the men who only had one eye in the middle of their foreheads and the ones who were half men and half horse. He could tell other tales equally well and he could make wonderful hand shadow pictures on the wall. Our Grandmother Jones spent some eighteen months at our home and in the winter evenings she would have me read aloud from "The Story of the Bible" while she sat by knitting and helping me with pronunciation. I don't think children of today enjoy the lovely swimming pools more than we did our swimming hole in the creek by our farm. We didn't have the nice swim suits of today but we used an old dress and stopped for some neighbor children and had a swimming party any hot day. I think the creek was more enjoyable because the water was running and we loved to build dams and make boats out of pieces of wood or leaves. All of these stories are about our life in Missouri. Our life in Pennsylvania was more formal and we lived there when we were very young and when we were teenagers and it was more cut and dried as compared to our life in Missouri where we had to rely on our ingenuity for our toys and pleasure. I am glad we lived in Missouri, because the life there, while lacking in many material things, really gave us a sense of values and really prepared us for life. === ''Return to the [[Baker-31263|Nellie Mae Baker]] Profile.'' ===

Jacob Trzaska is my mother's grandfather. Trzaska is not his birth name as he apparently changed it. He was Jewish and perhaps changed it to a "Christian" sounding name when he married or maybe due to prejudice because he was Jewish? Don't know for sure. I was told that his birth surname sounded like "Trotsky" or "Trochy." Only other info I have is the names of 2 of his children, Julia (or Julianna) Trzaska Mieczkowska and Jacob Trzaska who lived in the Philadelphia area in the early 1900's. I'm at a complete standstill with this side of the tree. Help! Thanks!

By collecting everything here it is hoped that any future research changing the facts can be maintained and updated in one central location. == The issue == There is a confusion in the church records of Untertürkheim, Württemberg, Germany, regarding the three brothers [[Tübinger-9|Ludwig]] (born 5 Sep 1734), [[Tübinger-10|Georg Ludwig]] (born 16 Apr 1736) and [[Tübinger-11|Georg Heinrich]] (born 19 Oct 1737) Tübinger. There are three baptismal records, a record of two church confirmations in 1751, two marriage records, and two death records. The two marriage records are for Georg Ludwig and Georg Heinrich, which seems clear enough, but the two existing burial records are both for Georg Heinrich! The first burial record of 29 Mar 1739 indicates that Georg Heinrich died at the age of two during a smallpox epidemic, while the second record has Georg Heinrich surviving until 29 Jan 1806 to the age of 68. The second version is repeated in the family tables. The 1739 burial record could conceivably describe both [[Tübinger-10|Georg Ludwig]] (not quite three years old) and [[Tübinger-11|Georg Heinrich]] (one-and-a-half), but it does not seem to fit the four-and-a-half year-old [[Tübinger-9|Ludwig]]. This would suggest --- barring further evidence to the contrary --- that Ludwig did '''not''' die in Mar 1739, and that either Georg Heinrich or Georg Ludwig did. Given the second burial record for [[Tübinger-11|Georg Heinrich]], it seems that the first record of 1739 must refer to [[Tübinger-10|Georg Ludwig]] instead and that Georg Heinrich's name appears there in error. However, both Georg Heinrich and Georg Ludwig appear on the list of candidates for confirmation in 1751 and are identified by their birth dates. Moreover, the death of Ludwig occurred in the midst of a smallpox outbreak, and the accuracy of record keeping may have been somewhat compromised in such a time of crisis. In addition, changing "Georg Heinrich" to "Georg Ludwig" on the burial record of 1739 leads to further problems, as of the two marriage records of 11 Aug 1761 (naming Georg Ludwig as the groom --- now presumed to have died in 1739) and of 22 Jul 1766 (naming the groom as Georg Heinrich --- the original name on the burial record of 1739), one would still refer to a dead person! Further disentanglement is needed. The explanation that seems to make the most sense is that the 1739 burial record indeed describes the death of [[Tübinger-9|Ludwig]], and that the wrong name and age of the deceased child were written down. The other church records are not affected by this change. The marriage record of 1761 indeed refers to [[Tübinger-10|Georg Ludwig]], and the marriage record of 1766 indeed refers to [[Tübinger-11|Georg Heinrich]]. '''''The biographies of the three brothers have been prepared according to this hypothesis.''''' Further research, such as the location of a third burial record, might be able to shed more light on the situation. == Sources ==

TUMLINSON FORT. Tumlinson Fort, also known as the Tumlinson blockhouse, was on the headwaters of Brushy Creek in what is now Williamson County. It was established by John J. Tumlinson, Jr., and his company of Texas Rangersqv. Following his commission as a captain in the Rangers by the provisional government of Texas in 1835, he took his company of sixty men to what is now Williamson County. The government had charged Tumlinson's company with the patrolling and protecting of Anglo-American settlements in the area. Tumlinson's men built a small fort in 1836 on the headwaters of Brushy Creek. The Tumlinson blockhouse was the first Anglo-American post in Williamson County. Upon hearing the news that Antonio López de Santa Anna had invaded, the company abandoned the post to go fight the Mexican army. In 1837, Noah Smithwick, one of the original Rangers, traveled by the post on a scouting mission and discovered that it had been burned by Indians. In 1936 the Texas Centennial Commission placed a marker on U.S. Highway 183 near the original site of the fort.

great grandmother of Grant Turner

This reunion began in July 21 2004 as an opportunity to learn more about our Turner relatives and their history. I have hosted this reunion now for 13 years at Pittsboro, Calhoun, Mississippi, every 4th Sunday in July. Our Tree continues to grow and we first got started and connected with our many, many unknown Turner cousins, through the DNA testing of Ancestry DNA Turner Surname project. We were a perfect match with another individual on this DNA testing. I contacted the individual who was from Alabama, and after conversation and comparing notes, it was certain that my gggrand father William T. Turner was a brother to his gggrand father James "Jim" Turner. We have been on a roller coaster ever since. Some of the greatest people in this world have been re united after losing contact with family for over 150 years. Two crazy Turner cousins have breathed life into many descendants of the common ancestor of our line. The Reunion finds new cousins each year as we meet that attend for the first time, then of course there are those who pass away each year that we remember and report on at the reunion. I felt the call to find my ancestors at an early age, and have continued on the journey of digging up bones. What a treasure I have found!! If you find that you belong to this Broken Branch of the Turner Tree, please contact me at my email: ddunncalhoun @yahoo.com

Results of the Turner DNA study place this group into "Group 1- Salmon Group" of the study. This group supposedly and possibly originates from a William Turner that came from the American Colonies to escape religious persecution. Branches settled in Eastern Shore & Somerset Maryland. It is possible/suggested this group moved from Maryland and Pennsylvania to Onslow, North Carolina. Branches have been traced settling in Hancock, Georgia ca 1790, what was first known as the Spartanburg, South Carolina area, and Anson, Tryon, and Mecklenburg, North Carolina. - Summary taken from the Turner DNA study https://www.familytreedna.com/public/turnerdnaproject/default.aspx?section=results ==Sources==

Concentrating on the line of Champness Turner, born about 1774 in Halifax County, Virginia; death info not known. His father may have been John Turner of London, born 1754, died in Halifax County Virginia in 1781. His mother may have been Anne Champness, born 1739 in Halifax County. If this is true, why was Anne so much older than John? (I suspect that this is the wrong John Turner; I located the information in an Ancestry Family Tree and am still trying to verify it.)

Türpsal, Järve Mois, Ida-Virumaa, Estland - Estonia === Background === ''Immediately south of the main road running along the Gulf of Finland between Tallinn and Narva stands the ruin of a large old stone house in the village of Järve in Kohtla-Järve. It is said that it was originally a monastery building. ''During the 14th century, under the name Türpsal, it became a vassal castle within the Teutonic Order. Together with the nearby castle Etz and the fortress church in Jewe, Türpsal formed the last lock against the Muscovite empire until the large fortress Hermansburg was erected at the end of the 14th century on the west bank of the river Narva. ''The Paykull family ruled Türpsal for three centuries from the beginning of the 16th century. In 1806, the last male member of this family in Estonia left the estate to one of his sons-in-law, Johann Friedrich Arnold. He and his descendants farmed Türpsal until 1891 when the estate was sold. The main building was destroyed by fire at the end of the Second World War. ''In 1730, the owner at the time, Hans Heinrich von Paykull, began to record important events in a small book bound in pigskin. His descendants continued right up until the year 1878 to record important events within the family in the book. The book, which is still preserved, has become a family chronicle.''

Hereditary surnames were first introduced in England in baronial families following the Norman Conquest in 1066. The knightly class began to adopt hereditary names in the 1100s, filtering down to most English families by 1400, although their form was still evolving.D. Hey, Family Names and Family History (2000), pp. 31, 51-53 Common origins for English surnames are from the name of specific locations or patronymics, as the son of a first name.[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-38003201 Most common surnames in Britain and Ireland revealed], BBC, 17 November 2016 Most sources suggest the Turvey surname originated in the parish of Turvey, in Bedfordshire.[http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Turvey Turvey], SurnameDB It is likely that the original Turveys were either all descended from one person or from a small number of closely related people all from the same place. The earliest recorded use of the surname was for thirteen individuals who were named between 1191 and 1255 all in Bedfordshire. See [[Space:History of the Turvey surname#Earliest recorded Turveys]] The link to the village of Turvey is consistent with the distribution of the family in the 1891 census, where about 40% were clustered in the counties around Bedfordshire, or had moved from there to London in the urbanisation of the 1700s and 1800s. A second cluster, adding up to about 30% of the family, was focussed on Pershore, Worcestershire and had likewise moved to Birmingham, Bristol or Manchester during the urbanisation phase.[https://www.ancestry.co.uk/name-origin?surname=turvey Turvey origins], Ancestry The second cluster could have been due to an exceptional incidence of a family moving cross-country - perhaps [[Turvey-2257|Rycharde Turvey of Walcot]]. Alternatively, the Worcestershire Turveys could have been of independent origin from a different place near Pershore. The Wilkinson surname is a patronymic meaning son of Wilkin, where Wilkin is a pet name for William that was common in northern England. [http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Wilkinson Wilkinson], SurnameDB The earliest recorded use of the surname include Thomas Wylkynson, listed in the Yorkshire Hundred Rolls that date from 1273,[https://www.heraldrysinstitute.com/lang/en/cognomi/Wilkinson/idc/600180/ Wilkinson surname], Heraldry Institute [[Wylkynson-2|William Wylkynson]], who was born about 1370 in Lancashire and Thomas Wilkynson, who was listed in the 1332 Subsidy Rolls of Cumberland. The 1891 census showed that more than half of the Wilkinsons were living in the northern counties of Lancashire or Yorkshire, with the remainder evenly spread throughout the rest of the country.[https://www.ancestry.co.uk/name-origin?surname=wilkinson Wilkinson origins], Ancestry Based on the derivation of the name, and how common it is, it is likely that there were multiple original "Wilkins" who started the name. ==DNA evidence== Since the establishment of heritable surnames in England, these have normally passed from father to son and therefore should match the inheritance of Y-DNA, also known as the the male sex chromosome. A large proportion of certain surnames match Y-DNA Haplogroups - for instance, 87% of Attenboroughs are E1b1b1, 79% of Swindlehursts are R1a and 95% of Herricks are haplogroup I. T.E. King and M.A. Jobling, ''Founders, drift, and infidelity: the relationship between Y chromosome diversity and patrilineal surnames'', Molecular Biology and Evolution, vol. 26, no. 5 (May 2009), pp.1093-1102; quoted at http://www.ancestraljourneys.org/surnames.shtml However, there are a number of events that can interrupt this transmission, which would result in men sharing the same surname having different Y-DNA. These "non paternal events" ("NPEs") include: * Approx. 5% of births were illegitimate, and such children would often take their mother's surname. R.A. Houston & I.D. Whyte, ''Scottish Society 1500-1800'', 1989, Cambridge University Press Note, however, that illegitimate children, in general, were less like to prosper or inherit property, and would, on average, have fewer descendents. This reduces the impact of this effect. * If fathers died leaving young children, their mother would often remarry; the original children sometimes took the new husband's surname * Men sometimes took their wives' surnames, particularly if their wives inherited property At least six Turvey lines have been tested for their Y-DNA.See [[Space:History of the Turvey surname#Genetic ancestry]] Four are from the R1b Haplogroup, with the other two testing for I1 and J1. This suggests that the original Turvey line was R1b. One of the testers is from the Pershore cluster and he tests positive for I1. His paper trail leads back to [[Turvey-1213|Ben Turvey]] in 1703. There are a number of possible explanations for this NPE: * [[Turvey-2257|Rycharde Turvey of Walcot]] was I1, perhaps changing his name when he acquired Walcot or perhaps descending from a different place called Turvey * An NPE occured somewhere between him and Ben Turvey (assuming Ben is a direct descendent) * An undocumented NPE occurred somewhere between Ben Turvey and [[Turvey-154|the tester]]. Additional testing from the Pershore cluster and from descendents of Ben Turvey would narrow down where this NPE occurred. On the Wilkinson side, nearly 100 Y-DNA results have been recorded and grouped into at least 15 distinct families. This includes eight people with the surname Wilkinson or Wilkerson who are Haplogroup I1. Based on STR analysis, six of these are estimated to have a common ancestor dated to around 1000 CE, and three of these (all American) have a common ancestor dated to around 1700. STR and SNP analysis links the Turvey I1 branch above to the three close Wilkinsons above, with a common ancestor dated between 1450-1650 (assuming the paper trail is accurate) and a common ancestor with the other three Wilkinsons (who include at least one English branch) to between 1000 CE and 1300 CE. Given the nature of these relationships, it appears that the Turvey ancestor was originally a Wilkinson who had a Turvey son between 1450-1650. == Sources==

The purpose of this page is to provides a comprehensive summary and links to the members of the Turvey family who migrated to Australia. == Individuals == Individual migrants should be added to the appropriate migration template, per the [[Space:Migration_Category_Structure|Migration Category Structure]]. == Overview == The first people to hold the Turvey surname and to pass it to their children [[Space:History_of_the_Turvey_surname|lived in England in the 1200s]]. The first mention of the surname is near the village of Turvey, Bedfordshire, from where the surname is understood to have originated. The village of Turvey was first settled in Saxon times and was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. By the time of the first census in 1841 there were around 600 Turveys living in England (out of a population of 16 million). They were concentrated in the three counties closest to the village of Turvey - Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire - plus Worcestershire where a successful branch of the family had settled in the 1500s. British settlement of Australia started [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Fleet in 1788 with the penal colony of Botany Bay], which included over a thousand settlers. Over the next 80 years, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia another 160,000 convicts] were transported to Australia from Britain. In addition, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Australians#1788%E2%80%931900 over 2.5 million free settlers] came from Britain up to 1900. There are currently around [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Australians 8 million people] in Australia who are descended from these British settlers, including around 1,000 Turveys.[http://forebears.co.uk/surnames/turvey Forebears], accessed 2016-10-19[http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/Comparisons.aspx?name=TURVEY&year=1998&altyear=1881&country=GB&type=name National Trust Names] (1998) ==Convict Turveys== 18 Turveys are listed as convicts who were transported to Australia:[https://convictrecords.com.au/convicts/turvey] {| border="1" class="wikitable sortable" !
