And if I'm lucky, I just might discover a new source that really brings the lives of my ancestors into clearer focus.</p><p>This happened recently. I obtained a new source, "Abstracts of the Land Records of Westchester County New York 1774-1801 by Brendan S Burns. This book, published in 2019, was not available when I first started researching my many ancestors who migrated (mostly) from Fairfield County, Connecticut to (mostly) Pound Ridge, Westchester County, New York from about the 1740s onward. </p><p>The lineage in question is that of my maternal gg grandmother MARY ANN (SCOFIELD) MARTINE, who was born 1835 in New York City, and died 3 Dec 1914 in Everson, Whatcom County, Washington. She married JOHN FELTON MARTINE (Civil War Veteran) on 21 April 1851 in Yorkville, Racine County, Wisconsin. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBl8tSWk3BY2mQ2qBd5IEtBqlEARiKcJWrSG2MrypUHhnNW0YlAJjcXTMB-mvvB6Lf2mkh9omNUMucLgDX1x4XHOF1SfP5la0DXf1Ep81knavlCzeJEZpIB4f9pCJ6nMet4aE80y0K1F4IOY0xf619PRUbqhNoY_brcSkhRirxW-dRbz54wK4A0uhASbo/s347/Mary%20Ann%20Scofield%20Martine.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="135" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBl8tSWk3BY2mQ2qBd5IEtBqlEARiKcJWrSG2MrypUHhnNW0YlAJjcXTMB-mvvB6Lf2mkh9omNUMucLgDX1x4XHOF1SfP5la0DXf1Ep81knavlCzeJEZpIB4f9pCJ6nMet4aE80y0K1F4IOY0xf619PRUbqhNoY_brcSkhRirxW-dRbz54wK4A0uhASbo/s320/Mary%20Ann%20Scofield%20Martine.jpg" width="124" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Mary Ann (Scofield) Martine</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">abt 1907 Whatcom County, Washington</span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>I considered MARY ANN SCOFIELD MARTINE's pedigree fairly complete. Her lineage stretches back to nearly all the original Puritan settlers of Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut who arrived in the 1630s-1640s. Honestly, except for the maiden names of two women who married into the families, I thought I knew everything about this part of my family tree! </p><p>But the discovery of the Brendan Burns book, followed by other sources, changed my mind. I quickly discovered that: </p><p>--Even though some of my ancestors were migrating to what would become Pound Ridge possibly as early as the 1740s, records were often recorded & kept in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut. The area was referred to in records as above the "eight mile line" or part of "North Castle" as early as 1718; there are no solid records or indications as to when Pound Ridge was actually separated as distinct from the town of North Castle. </p><p>--"The History of Westchester County Part 1" by Frederic Shonnard & Walter Whipple Spooner, publ 1900 p 225 notes that: <span style="color: red;">"In 1741 JOSEPH LOCKWOOD, JAMES BROWN, DAVID POTTS, EBENEZER SCOFIELD & others from Stamford made a settlement on the site of the present village (Pound Ridge)"</span>. In reality, there were settlers in the area as early as 1717 or 1718: JAMES WHITE, MICHAEL WARING & THOMAS BRUSH, all from Huntington, Long Island, NY.</p><div>-- Muster rolls from the French & Indian War (1758) indicate several individuals from Pound Ridge were in CAPT REUBEN LOCKWOOD's company: NATHANIEL WOOD, DANIEL HILL & BROCKWAY BROWN; all three had been born in Pound Ridge. <a href="https://sites.rootsweb.com/~nywestch/military/1758-lockwood.htm?_gl=1*jjqftq*_gcl_au*Nzg0NjIzOTAuMTcwMDY2MjU5Nw..*_ga*MTg1MDQ2NTAwMC4xNzAwNjYyNTk4*_ga_4QT8FMEX30*ZGQ0NjI4NzYtMjg3Yi00NWU1LWI0YTctMWFiMDk3MTc2YjY1Ljg0LjEuMTcwMjY1MjI5Ny4zOS4wLjA.*_ga_LMK6K2LSJH*ZGQ0NjI4NzYtMjg3Yi00NWU1LWI0YTctMWFiMDk3MTc2YjY1Ljg0LjEuMTcwMjY1MjI5NS4wLjAuMA..&_ga=2.167646076.395285499.1700662598-1850465000.1700662598" target="_blank">Click here for a complete list</a></div><p>--<a href="https://members.tripod.com/~David_Cooke/Roots/1763.htm" target="_blank">1763 was the first tax list </a>available for Pound Ridge, Westchester, New York.</p><p>--During the Revolutionary War, on 2 July 1779, <a href="https://classicnewyorkhistory.com/the-british-raid-at-pound-ridge-new-york/" target="_blank">Pound Ridge was attacked & raided by British General Banastre Tarleton. </a></p><p>Clearly, there is much more to learn about the history of Pound Ridge, its connection to Stamford, Connecticut and its role in the Revolutionary War!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">"JEAN MARTIN was a native of Saint Nazaire in Saintonge, and appears to have first fled to England, and then came to America by way of Boston, settling in Oxford, Massachusetts in 1687. He was a laborer and his wife was Annie. Upon the abandonment of the Oxford settlement, he was among those who came to New Rochelle in the year 1696. His name appears in the census of New Rochelle, 1698, as aged fifty-two years and his wife forty-two, and three children. Two of these were born at the Oxford settlement. He signed the oath of allegiance at New Rochelle, pursuant to the order of January 1698. He purchased land in New Rochelle in the West Division from Marie Guespin (widow of Josias La Vilain), on March 11, 1697. He made his will Oct 5, 1700, which was recorded in the Town Record book on Dec 27, 1701, he there called himself "Ploughman". His wife survived him. This name has been corrupted to Martine."</span><br />

His family tree flows back more than 10 generations in Massachusetts to the very first Puritan and Pilgrim settlers there; his pedigree includes Mayflower passengers JOHN HOWLAND & ELIZABETH TILLEY; THOMAS DUDLEY, the 2nd governor of the Colony of Massachusetts and his daughter ANNE DUDLEY BRADSTREET, the first published poet in the Colony of Massachusetts; the Reverend BENJAMIN BUTLER, a Harvard graduate, who later settled in Nottingham, New Hampshire, plus several ancestors who fought in the American Revolutionary War (as per DAR Patriot Index).</p><p>HENRY HNH BROWN was the son of BENJAMIN BUTLER BROWN born 19 April 1800 in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, and PHEBE GALE born 24 Jan 1802, Sanbornton, Strafford County, New Hampshire. He had five siblings:</p><p>-STEPHEN GALE BROWN b 1827 d 1849 Sutter's Fort, California</p><p>-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BROWN b 1831</p><p>-MARY ANN BROWN b 1833 (never married)</p><p>-CHARLES GALE BROWN b 1835 (never married)</p><p>-GEORGE GALE BROWN b 1837</p><p><br /></p><p>Little is known about HENRY's early education. However, in 1848, as a young man age 23, he was sent to Hartford, Vermont, to study medicine with his uncle Dr HENRY BUTLER BROWN. He did not stay with that profession, however, because the lure and adventure of the California Gold Rush captured both his imagination and that of his brother STEPHEN GALE BROWN. In 1849 they embarked together on the long and perilous voyage to California, sailing around Cape Horn, and made their way to Sutter's Fort. STEPHEN GALE BROWN died there, shortly after their arrival.</p><p>Between 1849 and 1855 there are few records for HENRY HNH BROWN. It is entirely likely that he tried his hand at panning for gold. It was during these years that he picked up the nickname "New Hampshire", which stuck with him for the rest of his life. It has been rumored that HENRY worked for LELAND STANFORD, who set up a general store in Michigan Bluff, Placer County, California around 1852, but I have not been able to verify this. What is known, however, is that with a partner named C.A. PECK, HENRY purchased a mercantile business in about 1852 from CHARLES CROCKER & DEWITT STANFORD, located in what was known as "Negro Hill" in Sacramento. </p><p><a href="https://sierranevadageotourism.org/entries/negro-hill-no-570-california-historical-landmark/c82218fe-5396-4ffe-b79d-85374cb6a435" target="_blank">Negro Hill Mining Camp</a><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg3t-df14Gz-7rlzOlTk_62Zz2PK16RAbV6EvvneLhyy7fZpKum7UUmwaZCNhcUW4VAaU05NOyWpksUAxB14ExR2QI3BXoCvQsD-WB2Ug5OURQWDJ_7pNuolVTaNfC8AytGicTdv2sFLTsiMAId04vwl5y0XWjQsH8bEhWRhCH4PtymUMDzWUcedEuAa-w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="406" data-original-width="500" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg3t-df14Gz-7rlzOlTk_62Zz2PK16RAbV6EvvneLhyy7fZpKum7UUmwaZCNhcUW4VAaU05NOyWpksUAxB14ExR2QI3BXoCvQsD-WB2Ug5OURQWDJ_7pNuolVTaNfC8AytGicTdv2sFLTsiMAId04vwl5y0XWjQsH8bEhWRhCH4PtymUMDzWUcedEuAa-w" width="296" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>It was here, in the Negro Hill Mining Camp, that HENRY first met the woman who was to become his wife, CORDELIA RICKARD MYERS. </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgCzDcQP-8PTRKi4hU0B9OGElup_U7CJsgX_hyrTKfcI4xo-U6FEQVI5OWuB8M6NYZrFEhBW35iiuBCSanuyqcUOEfEu2e1j_J3qM3gYQyC2NZWZzJhRGr-rqjA3vO_dkWKwgn0aal2Hg7pzKWkoNabHH9qe3AW1E8vhjjDdn0MTs_hwOlKeZfh7n1L8VY" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="388" data-original-width="285" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgCzDcQP-8PTRKi4hU0B9OGElup_U7CJsgX_hyrTKfcI4xo-U6FEQVI5OWuB8M6NYZrFEhBW35iiuBCSanuyqcUOEfEu2e1j_J3qM3gYQyC2NZWZzJhRGr-rqjA3vO_dkWKwgn0aal2Hg7pzKWkoNabHH9qe3AW1E8vhjjDdn0MTs_hwOlKeZfh7n1L8VY" width="176" /></a></div><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><div style="text-align: center;">Cordelia H Rickard (Myers) Brown bef 1870</div></span><br /><p></p><p>Her brother RICHARD RICKARD also owned a mercantile business at the Negro Hill Mining Camp. CORDELIA and RICHARD were immigrants from Kenwyn Parish, Cornwall, England, the children of CORDELIA HICKS and RICHARD RICKARD Sr. CORDELIA RICKARD MYERS emigrated with her widowed mother & younger siblings in 1845, on the ship "Henry Clay"; RICHARD with his brother WILLIAM arrived in 1846 on the ship "Oxford". The family lived first in Platteville, Grant County, Wisconsin, where many other relatives from Cornwall had settled, to work in the lead mines there. WILLIAM RICKARD returned to England before 1851.</p><p>CORDELIA married a German immigrant HENRY WILLIAM F MYERS 29 Jan 1850 in Platteville. Their only child, EMMA J MYERS was born in Dec 1850. Sometime before 1852, the couple decided to make the journey overland to California. It is highly likely that her brother RICHARD RICKARD accompanied them. HENRY WILLIAM F MYERS either died on the way overland, or once they reached California. CORDELIA was a widow with an infant daughter when she met HENRY HNH BROWN. They were married 1 Jun 1857 in Sacramento, California. </p><p>By 1858 the BROWN family had moved to Salmon Falls, on Lake Folsom, where HENRY joined the Natoma Freemason's Lodge. That year, HNH BROWN and C.A. PECK agreed to dissolve their partnership in their mercantile business at Negro Hill Mining Camp, and settled their affairs. According to the 1860 US census, HENRY was working for a cattle rancher in Salmon Falls. </p><p>Shortly after their marriage, HENRY appears to have adopted EMMA J MYERS. The couple had two more children: FRANK RICARD BROWN born 5 Feb 1858, and PHEBE CORDELIA BROWN born 12 April 1868.</p><p>During the next few years 1860-1867, HENRY NH BROWN and family lived at Granite Bay on Lake Folsom. He was listed in the local newspapers as a part owner of the Grace Copper mine (location?), and, with three other men, received a mineral rights land patent for the Pioneer Lode in Mount Diablo, Elko County, Nevada. In 1867 HENRY, who was now secretary of the Natoma Masonic Lodge in Folsom, wrote a reconciliatory letter to a fellow Masonic Lodge in South Carolina, which included a donation to help with reconstruction after the Civil War.</p><p>By the 1870 census, HENRY and his family were living back in Sacramento, where he was working as a clerk for the American Seed Store, owned by W.R. STRONG. In 1872, he joined his old partner C. A. PECK, and established a building materials and plastering business. This endeavor appeared to short-lived--despite a large number of advertisements in the local papers! </p><p>In 1873, HENRY NH BROWN was hired as postmaster and Wells Fargo agent for the towns of Cornucopia and Brownsville in Elko County, Nevada. Leaving his family back in Sacramento, he fulfilled his duties as a Wells Fargo Express Agent, and no doubt sought to profit from the short-lived gold and silver mining boom in the area. (Both Cornucopia and Brownsville are now ghost towns).</p><p>While HENRY was living and working in Nevada, tragedy struck. On the 23 of January 1875, his wife CORDELIA died of pneumonia at the age of 45. Shortly thereafter, HENRY's son FRANK joined him in Nevada, leaving daughter PHEBE CORDELIA BROWN age 6 in the care of her half sister, EMMA J MYERS BROWN and her husband WALTER P EMERY. HENRY would not return to Sacramento until 1885.</p><p>By 1877, HENRY's son FRANK R BROWN was living in the gold mining town of Bodie. FRANK was working as an assayer, a skill he probably picked up while living with his father in Cornucopia, Nevada. He was united in marriage to another resident of Bodie, MARY ETTA KENNEDY, whose family had also recently arrived in California from Maine. They were married 2 July 1878 in the town ofAurora, Esmerelda County, Nevada, about 15 miles north east of Bodie (There was no Justice of the Peace in the town at that time). By all accounts, the gold mines in Bodie was booming in the late 1870s, and the town was quite wild and lawless. The elevation at Bodie is 8365 feet, and the winters could be brutal. FRANK and his wife MARY ETTA would live there until 1887, when FRANK was hired by the Alaska Commercial Company to run their gold and silver mines on Unga Island in Alaska.</p><p><a href="https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=509" target="_blank">Bodie State Historic Park</a><br /></p><p>In March of 1880, it was announced in the Bodie Chronicle newspaper that H N H BROWN, Wells Fargo Agent of Cornucopia, Nevada, had been appointed Wells Fargo Agent for the Mill Creek mines, in the town of Lundy, about 30 miles south of Bodie, near the town of Lee Vining. He was 54 years old.</p><p><a href="https://westernmininghistory.com/towns/california/lundy/" target="_blank">Lundy, California Western Mining History</a><br /></p><p>According to tax records 1880-1884, HENRY NH BROWN owned two properties in the town of Lundy: his main residence being on N. side of Main Street, bounded by J.H. Page's house and a vacant lot, with the Well's Fargo office within; and a lot in town of Lundy, bounded S. by Chicago Ave, E. by A. Mill's lot and house, and W. by the Montrose Ox Corral. </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDs7WbH6IJC59aFfDMjPYTjVy6sf30kQcsb0RJ_t6GIm9YDqEIn0qG16CA9OwRdOfkkBN6_v_sfq-ne0rK6xUEjD4SOiZmnAUuiwbhxyFU7ipK91K03D53EAVYCz050_0dSwWJ2AIHWI08WN2LbRvIzaOc9srYNgcNHtPWITrQUr2O4arPRuyPj1PheAc" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2988" data-original-width="5312" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDs7WbH6IJC59aFfDMjPYTjVy6sf30kQcsb0RJ_t6GIm9YDqEIn0qG16CA9OwRdOfkkBN6_v_sfq-ne0rK6xUEjD4SOiZmnAUuiwbhxyFU7ipK91K03D53EAVYCz050_0dSwWJ2AIHWI08WN2LbRvIzaOc9srYNgcNHtPWITrQUr2O4arPRuyPj1PheAc" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Townsite of Lundy, on Lundy Lake, looking west.

Mr BROWN, the agent, who is an old man, requested him to stop talking in that way, as it disturbed his writing, and was disagreeable besides, but SMITH only became more violent. Mr BROWN then informed him that he must either hush or go out doors, but SMITH would do neither, whereupon he was ordered out peremptorily. On again refusing, Mr BROWN caught hold of his shoulder and gave him a slight push out the door. Whirling around, SMITH drew a self-cocking revolver, and shoved the muzzle through the glass in the door, but Mr BROWN was too quick for him, getting into the assay office, which is in the next room of the same building, before his assailant could shoot, closing the door behind him. ELLIS CORINSON, who was in the assay office with FRANK BROWN (HENRY's son), opened the door to see where SMITH was at. The latter had gone around to the opposite end of the housed broken two panes out of the window, and when CORINSON opened the door, raised his pistol and fired, the ball striking the window sash and glancing into the ceiling. CORINSON shut the door, but reopened it immediately, asking SMITH at the same time what he wanted to shoot him (Corinson) for. SMITH raised his weapon to fire again, when the door was closed. Having nothing to defend themselves with, the occupants of the room ran out by the back way up the hillside. After waiting around the office, peeping about to get a shot at someone, SMITH went away, returning , however in a short time, with his hand on his pistol, to say he should not forget the manner in which he had been treated. Mr BROWN, who is one of the most quiet and urbane of gentlemen, was greatly shocked at the attempt on his life, and says he will hereafter take measures to protect his person from the attacks of ruffians..."</span></b></p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(43, 0, 254);">In 1884, HENRY NH BROWN left his Wells Fargo post in Lundy, and returned to his family in Sacramento. He lived at 826 L Street with his daughter PHEBE, step-daughter EMMA and her husband WALTER P EMERY. </span></p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(43, 0, 254);">From 1884 until his death in 1897, HENRY remained active in the Freemason's Lodge in Folsom, and was involved in many civic projects in Sacramento. He appears to have been on the board of directors for several businesses, including the Gurney Cab Company, the Del Norte Mining Company in Mexico, the Hartford Mining Company, and Crown Point Mining Company, to name a few. </span></p><div class="separator" style="caret-color: rgb(43, 0, 254); clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="caret-color: rgb(43, 0, 254);">He was a Federal Election Supervisor for 7th precinct in Sacramento in 1892.

There are THREE different "origin stories" from descendants, concerning how he came to settle in Maitland, Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada.</p><p><span style="color: red;"><b>(SIDE NOTE HERE: JOHN RINES was absolutely NOT the son of JOHN RAINEY Sr b 1717 & JENNET STRAYHORN of Scotland & Virginia or their son JOHN RAINEY Jr & ELIZABETH HUNTER of Caswell Co North Carolina, as has been erroneously reported in numerous online family trees. That family & their descendants can be traced & documented in Virginia & NC and never set foot in Canada)</b></span></p><p><u><b>ORIGIN STORY # 1:</b></u> According to several historical sources from Hants County, Nova Scotia, JOHN RINES or RANES, born about 1730, was "of Corn Hill in Massachusetts" when he was conscripted into the British Army during the French & Indian War. According to this origin story, JOHN decided to stay in Canada, and became "the first settler in Maitland Village" in Hants County after the expulsion of the French Acadians. He married, in about 1759, ELIZABETH TOAL/TOWLE (some sources say the marriage took place in Onslow, Colchester County, Nova Scotia). According to these historical sources, JOHN's home was "on a knoll just this side of the foundry site, built over an old French cellar."</p><p>However, there is a problem with the location of Corn Hill, Massachusetts, which is near Truro in Barnstable County, on Cape Cod. There were NO families with the RINES or RANES surname (or any other spelling variations) living in that area during that time period. The only RINES family I have been able to trace settled in the 1690s-early 1700s lived in what would become Maine & New Hampshire. Many of there were mariners.</p><p><u><b>ORIGIN STORY # 2:</b></u> HENRY J RINES b 1826 Maitland, Hants, Nova Scotia, a grandson of JOHN RINES & ELIZABETH TOAL of Maitland, died in 1894 in Portland, Cumberland County, Maine USA. In 1887 he wrote down the RINES family history as he remembered it in a letter that was requested by his son JOB RINES. Much of what is known about the descendants of JOHN RINES & ELIZABETH TOAL comes from that 1887 letter. His "Origin Story" was as follows: </p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Riten (</span><i style="font-family: Helvetica;">written</i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">) as near as I can remember with notes of the conversations with grandfather (</span><i style="font-family: Helvetica;">JOHN RINES I</i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">) that they originated from Oak Hill in Massachusetts near Boston and that the way he and his wife came to Nova Scotia was that they wanted to get married and neither of there (</span><i style="font-family: Helvetica;">their)</i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> parents would hear to it so they ran away and went to Nova Scotia and there were married and they raised there (</span><i style="font-family: Helvetica;">their) (illegible</i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">) family that I recall to mind. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">He goes on to say that JOHN RINES & ELIZABETH TOAL were married at "</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Onsloo", which would be Onslow, Colchester County, Nova Scotia; then lists all the children of this couple. (I have solid DNA matches to many of their descendants, so it appears that this list from HENRY was correct!).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b><u>ORIGIN STORY # 3</u></b> WILLIAM H RINES, born abt 1880 Portland, Cumberland County, Maine, was the youngest son of HENRY J RINES by his 2nd wife ISABELLE PHILLIPS. In the 1887 letter to JOB RINES, WILLIAM weighed in with this 3rd "Origin Story"</span></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The Rines family originated from Haverhill or Oak Hill in Massachusetts whether they emigrated under that or some other name we no (know) not, or how they came in Nova Scotia we no (know) not as I am of the third generations and all I no (know) we gather from my father (<i>HENRY J RINES</i>), hew (who) is of the second generation and and is the youngest son of the youngest son. But my father says he was either a soldier or in the navy of the (<i>illegible</i>). And was taken prisoner to Halifax and at its close when released, married and settled there in place of returning home. Be this as it may we find ourselves there. But now I find us about all returned to our native soil and seated from Portland.</span></p><div><br /></div><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">So what's a genealogist to do? Which is the correct "origin story"--or is there an element of truth to all of them? Clearly according to all three sources, JOHN RINES b 1730 was from "some darned hill" in Massachusetts. But the only RINES family that I've been able to trace in New England is the one that settled in what would become Maine & New Hampshire.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Unfortunately records seem to be scarce for Nova Scotia during the time period in question (1755-1790s)--at least for a researcher living in the US. I have not yet found where JOHN RINES & ELIZABETH TOAL are buried, or any kind of land grant record or military record that might shed some light on how they ended up in Canada.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Judging from poll tax records for Hants County, JOHN RINES left Maitland late in life, and settled in Kennetcook, Hants County, by 1791, where he lived next to my other 5th great grandfather, PATRICK McDONALD (b 17 Mar 1727 Inverness, Scotland, d aft 26 Nov 1801 Kennetcook). By 1792, his son (my great x 4 grandfather) JOHN RINES II was also listed in the poll tax records, living next door to both his father and his future father-in-law, PATRICK McDONALD. PATRICK's</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> daughter ELIZABETH McDONALD, married JOHN RINES II on 22 Nov 1795 in Rawdon, Hants, Nova Scotia, Canada.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">In the poll tax records 1791-1795 , the RINES surname is spelled RYANS, RYAN, and RINES. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Source for much of what I know about the RINES & McDONALD families: "Rawdon & Douglas: Two Loyalist Townships in Nova Scotia" by John V Duncanson.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Suggestions & Comments greatly appreciated!</span></p><p>Have a great day!</p><p>Betty</p><p><u style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><i><b><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990099; font-size: 10.4167px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="color: #333333; font-size: 8.68058px; font-style: normal; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="font-size: 8.68058px; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: xx-small; font-style: italic; line-height: 19px;">© Betty Tartas 2023</span></span></span></span></span></i></b></b></i></u></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Bettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03670121380115693696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005457009871820467.post-51510105414150076552023-02-23T09:08:00.000-08:002023-02-23T09:08:39.052-08:00Filling in the Feltons and the Edsons of New York in my Family Tree<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1AU_rNYZWd7kb-IHGfDaeEAUopxevx4StIbL1iSuqzbUM9s8n_nhrecotGX00bjHZVFuX4I73SchOeUat6XJoLuUf0JU2Fm9JHWiWiABd-Fh5vpMXEX9kTqmehKbn3uQBx367r5X70d8yLfxMS0oR28TbOmd0vwkOncO9YrhXKFIPvPNoFd5nIKLA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="390" data-original-width="241" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1AU_rNYZWd7kb-IHGfDaeEAUopxevx4StIbL1iSuqzbUM9s8n_nhrecotGX00bjHZVFuX4I73SchOeUat6XJoLuUf0JU2Fm9JHWiWiABd-Fh5vpMXEX9kTqmehKbn3uQBx367r5X70d8yLfxMS0oR28TbOmd0vwkOncO9YrhXKFIPvPNoFd5nIKLA=w197-h320" width="197" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">John Felton Martine </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">born 15 June 1831 Spencerport, Monroe, New York</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">died 30 Jan 1907 Orting, Pierce, Washington</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My great great grandfather, pictured above, came from a family that consistently, over several generations, named sons after a maternal grandfather. So when it was discovered that his full name was JOHN FELTON MARTINE, I was hopeful that I could connect his mother MARY EDSON MARTINE, with the family of JOHN FELTON Sr who died about 1820 in Clarence Hollow, Erie County, New York. My theory was the MARY EDSON MARTINE's <i>mother </i>was likely a daughter of JOHN FELTON Sr who married JOHN EDSON Sr of Genesee County, New York.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have had great difficulty researching subsequent generations of the FELTON & EDSON families in this area of New York state because they left few descendants. This is partially due to the fact that both JOHN FELTON Sr and JOHN EDSON Sr and many of their children died during epidemics that spread up into New York state via the Erie Canal. There were several such epidemics, including a devastating Cholera epidemic which swept into the area in 1832. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, for many years, I did not add previous generations of either the FELTON or EDSON family to my online tree. There were just too many unanswered questions. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, however, with the advent of Ancestry's new Sideview feature I have been better able to discern which of matches are maternal. I now have over 36,000 maternal matches. Recently, I started looking for DNA matches to descendants of both JOHN FELTON Sr and JOHN EDSON Sr, and to <i>previous generations in their families,</i> knowing that the matches would likely be small in terms of cM, and in the 5th-8th cousin range.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Currently I have found<b> <span style="color: red;">nine</span></b><span style="color: red;"> </span>DNA matches on AncestryDNA to descendants of JOHN FELTON Sr & his wife PERSIS ROGERS, and also to previous generations of the FELTON family which was originally from Essex County, Massachusetts. Likewise I have found <b><span style="color: red;">eight</span> </b>DNA matches to previous generations of the EDSON family, which was originally from Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. The matches range from 21 cM to 8 cM in length.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These FELTON & EDSON DNA matches are also matching other MARTINE descendants in my maternal AncestryDNA match list, so I am very hopeful that I am on the right track with my theory. I have yet to find segment data, however, even though I have cross-referenced these FELTON & EDSON AncestryDNA matches with matches on 23andMe, MyHeritage, FamilyTree DNA and Gedmatch.

This feature will be a game changer, particularly for people who are searching for clues about their birth parents.</p><p>Right now I have 88,831 DNA matches on Ancestry-- an overwhelming number-- and although I have worked diligently over the last few years to attribute my AncestryDNA matches to my ancestors, there are literally thousands of matches that I could never place. Now, with the ability to learn whether those matches are on my maternal or paternal side, there is a much better chance that I will be able to figure out how I am connected to those matches. </p><p>Since the update, when you go to your AncestryDNA matches the website will immediately show you the "By Parent" feature (BETA). At first, you will only see "Parent 1" and "Parent 2" as choices; you will have the opportunity to edit each parent to represent either your maternal or paternal side. In most cases, this should be pretty easy; a list of surnames and matches is provided to help you decide. **Hint** if you don't see anything definitive in the surname list, check out the matches. </p><p>For me, it was extremely easy to discern which Sideview parent was paternal! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhm84rs6vrCrzDdC0Q5uTKs_DhjvbIg-v8hCEpTR_J4EX6Mung5ijK9KO3IpBd0C93P7yqFu9xVQ1lLuLpv8nCRH2_96cK6QbNRd4R4Ny4NfvTaiQ5KQek7qYH55Zh7la-bjp7NSFBO9pjn2Cc8qk8ptpO3QV3jgJSWztK_Fix-Fi6ZH0jmvlX8PBvG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="898" data-original-width="2716" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhm84rs6vrCrzDdC0Q5uTKs_DhjvbIg-v8hCEpTR_J4EX6Mung5ijK9KO3IpBd0C93P7yqFu9xVQ1lLuLpv8nCRH2_96cK6QbNRd4R4Ny4NfvTaiQ5KQek7qYH55Zh7la-bjp7NSFBO9pjn2Cc8qk8ptpO3QV3jgJSWztK_Fix-Fi6ZH0jmvlX8PBvG=w400-h133" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p>As I have written many times before in this blog, I have a HUGE number of DNA matches to my paternal FRAZIER family, through the Quaker THOMAS FRAZIER Sr b 1725 North Carolina (and his wife MARY PUGH), down through his male descendants, to my paternal great grandmother CAROLINE AMELIA "CRAMELIA" FRAZIER HUBER.

It is fortunate that I have a few known close cousin matches on my maternal side, because the surname list was "generic" and would have offered no clues.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjy7I7nyuTLOKUD4LgtWXc62q6FeNuan4IKAfE7-de4gDt9oWrloG6ZOgwiC4fuLDlLvNolASS_FPe62K4_VZK-lUFtwG8DRTx0bc_HQGNHq2KmpWswFCFO_0vs6CZS8A0sjgTElkawKpoVzL9xVSaX_Q683cRPk0sSK34VTtjDwUIWswr7h3iK8XZU" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="900" data-original-width="2760" height="130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjy7I7nyuTLOKUD4LgtWXc62q6FeNuan4IKAfE7-de4gDt9oWrloG6ZOgwiC4fuLDlLvNolASS_FPe62K4_VZK-lUFtwG8DRTx0bc_HQGNHq2KmpWswFCFO_0vs6CZS8A0sjgTElkawKpoVzL9xVSaX_Q683cRPk0sSK34VTtjDwUIWswr7h3iK8XZU=w400-h130" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>I am particularly excited to know which matches are Maternal in my list, since DNA matches for that side of my family tree have been few & far between (smaller families in general, fewer descendants). This tool will allow me to really hone in on my maternal ancestors who were "DNA providers."</p><p>Another great feature of Sideview is that it helps you correct your errors. Several matches I had previously marked as possibly related to BOTH my mother & father. Sideview has shown that those matches are actually on my Maternal side. At this time I have no DNA matches on Ancestry that are related to both parents. </p><p>If Ancestry disagrees with a parental designation that you had previously added to a match, it is marked in red. This allows you to go back & re-evaluate the match.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4gNOcKzTtCJKzSUIBFEaA3_Kz3GrZMM8PnQimPvAd4s0p-OQ3EznZrAaiNBCbJHLPuCQcB8LSFQXIemoG6KuYM-wRhHKOZ7T3er9jsLfe8WBWO3YHcEuvtAfTGtrDLenr0uvn18ccavbIHX6TxJTQd7q1yjs7nIy-EeUkx7sLPCP6yfUcg7HlLoYS" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="202" data-original-width="594" height="109" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4gNOcKzTtCJKzSUIBFEaA3_Kz3GrZMM8PnQimPvAd4s0p-OQ3EznZrAaiNBCbJHLPuCQcB8LSFQXIemoG6KuYM-wRhHKOZ7T3er9jsLfe8WBWO3YHcEuvtAfTGtrDLenr0uvn18ccavbIHX6TxJTQd7q1yjs7nIy-EeUkx7sLPCP6yfUcg7HlLoYS" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Overall, I am finding this feature to be a significant improvement for AncestryDNA. How could it be made even better? <b>By adding a chromosome browser and/or showing segment & chromosome data for each match. </b> </p><p>I have spent a lot of time cross-referencing my AncestryDNA matches with DNA matches on other testing websites & Gedmatch, and have added chromosome data to my AncestryDNA matches whenever possible. But finding those matches by cross-referencing doesn't happen frequently, and there are still thousands of matches in my list that are still unknown. </p><p>5694 of my AncestryDNA matches are currently marked "Unassigned".

All the photos were in very good condition, but few of them included any sort of clues or information that would help identify the individuals in the photos.</p><p>Now, many months later, with the help of other researchers on Ancestry.com, and articles & obituaries in San Francisco newspapers from the time period, I have been able to identify several of the people from the albums. It appears that all of the photos in the albums are from the DRYDEN or TOHER family. None of them are from my grandmother's BROWN family.</p><p>For reference, here is the family tree of JOSEPH BURTON DRYDEN b 1887 San Francisco, California. He was the only child of GEORGE HENRY SHEPPARD DRYDEN b 1864 Solano County, California, and MARY ANN TOHER b 1868 San Francisco, California.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIqMwc0dj8UEj1T63BgPCe4V6g6y_BqRhl9miguO-TSsinbDV0OA8WGUymh6o6XjmJxGkvAqfj-H6VHbXS-_6NKYEJcL9LKhyzFkaV4zuVZ2hxB0wXHKobL0mB1mQyX7ZiGeitNw4Ikug/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="902" data-original-width="1634" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIqMwc0dj8UEj1T63BgPCe4V6g6y_BqRhl9miguO-TSsinbDV0OA8WGUymh6o6XjmJxGkvAqfj-H6VHbXS-_6NKYEJcL9LKhyzFkaV4zuVZ2hxB0wXHKobL0mB1mQyX7ZiGeitNw4Ikug/w400-h221/Screen+Shot+2021-12-28+at+6.12.34+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is a photo of JOSEPH'S father, GEORGE HENRY SHEPPARD DRYDEN as a young man, probably taken about 1880.

Her father RICHARD's occupation on her 1829 baptism record was listed as "Innkeeper", and on his 1835 burial record, occupation was listed as "victualer". His widow CORDELIA was left with nine surviving children, and in 1845, she emigrated to the United States on the ship "Henry Clay", arriving with her three youngest children: JOSEPH age 21, CORDELIA age 15 and HENRY age 11. Two older sons, RICHARD age 22 and WILLIAM age 28, came to the United States the following year on the ship "Oxford"-- but WILLIAM did not stay. At least 3 children remained in Cornwall, including the eldest daughter MARY RICKARD (baptized 1818) who married in 1846 JOHN BUNT, also an Innkeeper, of Kenwyn Parish, Cornwall.</p><p>By 1850 the widow CORDELIA HICKS RICKARD b 1793 & her son HENRY had settled in the area of Dodgeville, Iowa County, Wisconsin, while daughter CORDELIA RICKARD MYERS & son RICHARD RICKARD were living nearby in Platteville, Grant County, Wisconsin. Both would travel overland to California shortly after 1850.</p><p>Son JOSEPH RICKARD married & settled by 1860 in Michigan. He died in Eagle Harbor, Michigan on 29 Sep 1899.</p><p>Over several years of research, I have determined that the widow CORDELIA HICKS RICKARD b 1793 had many relatives, both by blood and by marriage, who were already living in Wisconsin when she arrived in 1845. Some came later, after 1845. This includes families with the surnames STEPHENS, ENNOR, RICKARD and HICKS. </p><p>Finding these relatives and their descendants eventually led me to discover that I have a DNA connection to the RICKARD & related families going back several generations in Cornwall!</p><p>The majority of my RICKARD DNA matches are descendants of WILLIAM RICKARD b 1743 St Allen Parish, who married 2 Feb 1771 in Kenwyn Parish, JOANNA VARLEY b 1748. WILLIAM died at age 38 on 30 Jan 1782 in Kenwyn Parish, Cornwall, England.

Another family mystery solved, and more cousins found.<br />
<br />
<b>JAMES JASPER BRUTON</b> was my great uncle, the brother of my grandmother <b>MINTTIE MAY BRUTON HUBER</b>, and the only one of her three siblings who survived, married and had children. <br />
<br />
He was born June 22, 1876 in Sparta, Christian County, Missouri, the son of <b>Rev</b> <b>BENJAMIN</b> <b>BENTON BRUTON</b> and <b>SILOAMA WHITECOTTON. Rev</b> <b>B B BRUTON </b>was well-educated, an ordained Baptist minister, an author of several books & religious tracts, and a well-loved teacher in Christian County, Missouri. <b>JAMES</b> also became a teacher in the local schools.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">James Jasper Bruton & son Jesse Jewel Bruton circa 1920 Christian Co Missouri</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
On Sept 1, 1900,<b> JAMES</b> married <b>ELLA ADAMS</b> in Christian County, Missouri. They remained in the area until after his mother <b>SILOAMA </b>died in 1908. Apparently he helped with <a href="https://bettysgenealogyblog.blogspot.com/2013/08/they-believed-they-were-cherokee-1906.html" target="_blank">his mother's application to the Eastern Cherokee Tribe,</a> writing letters providing more information to Guion Miller (the application was rejected, because <b>SILOAMA</b>'s ancestors were not Cherokee).<br />
<br />
By the 1910 census, <b>JAMES J BRUTON, </b>his wife, and children were living in Brewer, Muskogee County, Oklahoma, where his occupation was listed as school teacher. By 1916, they were back in Christian County, Missouri.<br />
<br />
<b>JAMES J BRUTON & ELLA ADAMS </b>had the following children:<br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b>---BONNIE LELA BRUTON </b>born Oct 2, 1902 Christian County, Missouri; married<b> MATH ADAMS; </b>one son<b> RAYMOND EUGENE ADAMS </b>d 1985</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b>---WILLIAM MANCIE "BILL" BRUTON </b>b May 30, 1912 Wyandott, Oklahoma; married <b>BARBARA WARREN; </b>two sons, two daughters </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b>---JESSE JEWELL BRUTON </b>b Oct 17, 1916 Chadwick, Christian County, Missouri; married <b>JUNE MARIE HICKEY; </b> one daughter, possibly other children? 2nd marriage aft 2007.</span><br />
<br />
(These three children would have been first cousins to my father and his nine siblings)<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
While I had long known about my grandmother's brother <b>JAMES J BRUTON</b>, I could never seem to fully trace his children or his grandchildren after the 1930 census. All I could find in subsequent records was an indication that all of his children had ended up living in California.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>JAMES J BRUTON & ELLA ADAMS</b> divorced sometime before 1922; she remarried to <b>LOUIS E WILSON</b> and moved with her sons to Boone County, Oklahoma. She died there in 1932.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
After 1922, <b>JAMES J BRUTON</b> was frequently listed as living at the almshouse in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri. He was listed in the 1930 census at the State Hospital in Vernon, Nevada County, Missouri. The next record found was again at the almshouse in Springfield in 1953, which indicated he was released to relatives from California. According to his death certificate and an obituary I found, <b>JAMES J BRUTON</b> died Dec 31, 1958 in Springfield, Missouri. <br />
<br />
To my knowledge, <b>JAMES</b> and his family never visited his sister, my grandmother <b>MINTTIE MAY</b> in Iowa, where she & her family lived from 1908 onward. It's unlikely that my father ever knew that he had first cousins living in California.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to 2020. I recently received two separate DNA matches, one a 2nd cousin and descendant of <b>JESSE JEWEL BRUTON</b> on AncestryDNA; the other, a 2nd cousin 1 x removed and descendant of <b>WILLIAM MANCIE "BILL" BRUTON </b>on 23andMe. So of course, I was thrilled!! These are the first close DNA matches to the <b>BRUTON</b> family that I've had since I first tested with 23andMe ten years ago, in 2010.<br />
<br />
One of the grandsons of <b>JESSE JEWEL BRUTON </b>shared the photos which I have posted here, and I am deeply thankful to finally be able to see my great uncle. I am looking forward to sharing this blog with my Huber relatives!<br />
<br />
<br />
Be well, stay safe, and if you go out--please wear a mask!!<br />

<br />
Both CONRAD CLINE & JACOB ALONZO CLINE were known to have migrated sometime before 1840 to Rush County, Indiana. Both married in that county as per Rush Co Indiana marriage records:<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">JOHN CLINE age 21 (born abt 1829) Kentucky; son or grandson?</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
CONRAD CLINE was also living in Rush County, Indiana in 1850, although not near MATTHIAS. JACOB ALONZO CLINE was living with wife REBECCA & two daughters in Liberty, Wabash County, Indiana in 1850 census.<br />
<b><br /></b>
Despite that, there is definitely evidence to indicate that this MATTHIAS CLINE is the father of both CONRAD CLINE & JACOB ALONZO CLINE.<br />
<br />
MATTHIAS CLINE was living in Bracken County, Kentucky before 1820 census, which shows:<br />
-- a male over 45,<br />
--female (wife) age 26-44,<br />
--two females age 10-15,<br />
--one male age 16-25,<br />
--three males age 10-15,<br />
--and 4 males under age 10.<br />
<br />
He is also listed in the 1830 Bracken County, Kentucky census, which shows:<br />
<br />
--a male age 60-69<br />
--female (wife) age 50-59<br />
--one male age 20-29<br />
--one male age 15-19<br />
--four males age 10-14<br />
--two males age 5-9<br />
--two males under age 5 (likely grandchildren?)<br />
<br />
MATTHIAS CLINE first appears in Rush County Indiana in the 1840 census, and then in the 1850 Rush County Indiana census.<br />
<br />
The person who ties together both the Bracken County, Kentucky family and the Rush County Indiana family is REBECCA JANE CLINE, the daughter of MATTHIAS CLINE.<br />
<br />
She was born about 1812 in Bracken County, Kentucky, and married on 13 Aug 1829, GEORGE PEARL, according to Bracken County, Kentucky marriage records.<br />
<br />
In 1830 Bracken County, Kentucky census, GEORGE & REBECCA (CLINE) PEARL were living practically next door to MATTHIAS CLINE and family.<br />
<br />

<br />
In 1840 Rush County, Indiana census GEORGE & REBECCA (CLINE) PEARL were living right next door to MATTHIAS CLINE and his wife EVE. In GEORGE & REBECCA's household were two young men too old to be their children, one male 20-29 (Dr JACOB ALONZO CLINE), and one male 10-14 (JOHN CLINE). The two eldest children of GEORGE & REBECCA, a boy WILLIAM & a girl MARGARET age 5-9, were enumerated in the household of MATTHIAS & EVE.<br />
<br />

<br />
In 1850, GEORGE & REBECCA (CLINE) PEARL were living in Liberty, Wabash County, Indiana, very near to Dr JACOB ALONZO CLINE, his wife REBECCA, and two young daughters ELIZA & EMELINE. <br />
<br />
By 1860, GEORGE & REBECCA (CLINE) PEARL had moved to Edgar County, Illinois, and can be found in census there next door to brother? nephew? JOHN CLINE b 1829 Kentucky, and wife ELIZABETH, who continued to live in Paris, Edgar County, Illinois until 1900, but were childless.<br />
<br />
GEORGE PEARL died 1868 in Paris, Edgar County, Illinois, and REBECCA moved on to Palmyra, Otoe County, Nebraska, and then to Kansas, often living with or next to her children. REBECCA CLINE PEARL died 1 Dec 1903 in Palmyra, Otoe County, Nebraska.<br />
<br />
But back to MATTHIAS CLINE b 1762 Maryland & his wife EVE b 1776 Maryland. <br />
<br />
An 1825 deed record that I found showed that the family lived near the town of Augusta, Kentucky, right on the Ohio River.<br />
<br />
They are not listed in 1810 Bracken County, Kentucky census, but their daughter REBECCA was born 1812 in Kentucky (Find-a-Grave shows 1809).<br />
<br />
It is clear from census records that they had a very large family with many sons, and not all of their children have been traced.<br />
<br />
Three of them are traceable in census records in Rush County, Indiana: JOSEPH CLINE b 1808 PA, CONRAD CLINE b 1814 KY & HENRY CLINE b 1815 KY. There was a LEWIS CLINE living in nearby Shelby County, Indiana who could possibly be an older son.<br />
<br />
It is highly likely MATTHIAS was married previous to EVE, and had several children with his previous wife. EVE may have been previously married as well.<br />
<br />
There was an ABRAHAM CLINE born abt 1797 in Pennsylvania who remained in Bracken County, Kentucky, and who may have been a son of MATTHIAS' from a previous marriage (EVE would have been age 11 at the time of his birth). The 1850 Bracken Co Kentucky census shows ABRAHAM with a son named MATTHIAS G CLINE.<br />
<br />
MATTHIAS & EVE were both born in Maryland, which means that their respective parents probably came down the Old Wagon Road from Pennsylvania in the 1750s, settling possibly in Washington or Frederick County, as so many German immigrants did during that time period. It is possible that MATTHIAS was born in or near Hagerstown.<br />
<br />
The fact that one of their older sons JOSEPH was born in Pennsylvania, and that the other possible son from 1st marriage ABRAHAM CLINE was also born in Pennsylvania, had me scrambling to see which communities in Pennsylvania were near Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland, and then scouring census records.<br />
<br />
I did find a MATTHIAS CLINE of correct age living in Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (not far from Hagerstown MD) in the 1800 census, showing a couple age 22-44, one son age 16-25, one daughter age 16-25, and two sons under 10. This appears to be the only time period that this MATTHIAS CLINE was living in Shippensburg; he is not in previous or subsequent census records.<br />
<br />
Clearly, lots more research needs to be done on this family! But at least records have helped to separate the two different men with the same name!<br />

<br />
One of the fortunate parts of sheltering in place during this time of coronavirus is having many hours to devote to genealogy research! So for the past six weeks, I've been taking research requests from friends & family. <br />
<br />
I was asked to research the ancestry of MATTHIAS CLINE, father of Dr JACOB ALONZO CLINE b 1822 Bracken Co Kentucky, who was married twice, 1st to REBECCA HARVEY 1 June 1843 in Rush County, Indiana, and 2nd to MARY DEMPSEY 1871 in Montana.<br />
<br />
Practically the only document or clue relating to this MATTHIAS CLINE is a newspaper article written in 1931 Rush County Indiana about MATTHIAS' son CONRAD "COONROD" CLINE, who also was born in Bracken Co Kentucky, and also was a resident of Rush County, Indiana.<br />
<br />
The article states that MATTHIAS CLINE, father of CONRAD CLINE, was "of Bedford County, Pennsylvania".<br />
<br />
Sure enough, there was a MATTHIAS CLINE of the correct age who lived in Bedford County, Pennsylvania up until his death in 1846. He married PHOEBE SOLEY, daughter of THOMAS SOLEY, 21 September 1794 in Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.<br />
<br />
And as I dug deeper into this person and his family, several facts emerged which clearly show that this MATTHIAS was not the father of CONRAD CLINE and Dr JACOB ALONZO CLINE.<br />
<br />
Fact One: This MATTHIAS CLINE, born about 1770, never lived in Bracken County, Kentucky. He is in census records from 1800 until 1840; in Belfast Township in 1800, but in Dublin Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania 1810-1840. <br />
<br />
Fact Two: This MATTHIAS CLINE left a will dated 21 Aug 1845, which does not name his wife, but does name his children:<br />
<br />
--WILSON L CLINE<br />
--MATTHIAS CLINE Jr<br />
--JESSE M CLINE<br />
--JOHN DAVIS CLINE<br />
--ELIZA, wife of PETER KUHN<br />
<br />
His will does not include CONRAD or JACOB.<br />
<br />
However, the will does mentions his sister BARBARA, indicating that if she bequeathed any real estate, money or property, that it was to be divided equally between his children.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGBcDXFIGCBjBWxoUFXCUq9pS90-AZerHhEXJacbUkdDw-7hbAvOM3XuRPEqBwCYjvcFQhYjzg7GLfhOwjlTrY9KAFaD2tLp_T-fRtDY18QfK6mbanVQTW7LDe1DsPEAS31_0FcYPN2I0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2020-04-24+at+2.03.39+PM.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGBcDXFIGCBjBWxoUFXCUq9pS90-AZerHhEXJacbUkdDw-7hbAvOM3XuRPEqBwCYjvcFQhYjzg7GLfhOwjlTrY9KAFaD2tLp_T-fRtDY18QfK6mbanVQTW7LDe1DsPEAS31_0FcYPN2I0/s400/Screen+Shot+2020-04-24+at+2.03.39+PM.png" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The mention of a sister owning land really piqued my interest. It was not common in 1846 for a woman to own land unless she had inherited it from either her husband or her father. Could she have been unmarried? I began wondering if I could find this sister BARBARA, and whether or not she also migrated from Montgomery County to Bedford County Pennsylvania.<br />
<br />
First off, I wanted to find out who MATTHIAS CLINE's parents were, if I could, to see if I could find a will which named both MATTHIAS and BARBARA. I started by searching early census records to see exactly which CLINEs were living in Montgomery County at about the time that MATTHIAS married PHOEBE SOLEY.<br />
<br />
I eventually narrowed the search to a MICHAEL CLINE born about 1750, who was of the correct age to be MATTHIAS' father and who lived in Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania from about 1785 until 1807.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the US Genweb site for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania had a good selection of will abstracts, and low & behold! I found MICHAEL CLINE's 1807 will:<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Wife not mentioned; children of my son HENRY; children of my son MATTHIAS; sons PETER & JOHN; daughter BARBARA to have 3 acres of land. </i><br />
<br />
Later I found a copy of the original will<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?rinli=1&pli=1&blogID=1005457009871820467" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJnHsCeR-x3EhhmP5as_uOWHgPd0C-XIv0tw0wfp2ipO2PId9LNhn-NIb_V3wnDq52S5wFbVu9Mfw7KARMKuEruXPDisHt9MAk51tyQRlsdxOprnmFEZW_OVNWXY8KOsmkbP51CCL48Hk/s1600/Screen+Shot+2020-04-24+at+2.18.07+PM.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJnHsCeR-x3EhhmP5as_uOWHgPd0C-XIv0tw0wfp2ipO2PId9LNhn-NIb_V3wnDq52S5wFbVu9Mfw7KARMKuEruXPDisHt9MAk51tyQRlsdxOprnmFEZW_OVNWXY8KOsmkbP51CCL48Hk/s400/Screen+Shot+2020-04-24+at+2.18.07+PM.png" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
This definitely seemed to be the correct BARBARA, mentioned both in MATTHIAS CLINE's 1846 Bedford County Pennsylvania will and in MICHAEL CLINE's 1807 Montgomery County Pennsylvania will! But I wanted a little more proof.<br />
<br />
With a little further investigating, I found BARBARA CLINE in the 1850 census Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, an unmarried woman age 66, with 3 other unmarried women in household, likely boarders. Her brother PETER CLINE lived nearby with his family.<br />
<br />
Rarely do I get this lucky with genealogical research! The key factor in my success with this family was that both MICHEAL CLINE and his son MATTHIAS CLINE remained in the same location for 40-50 years, and both left detailed wills. BARBARA CLINE & her brother PETER CLINE lived in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania all their lives, and BARBARA CLINE never married. Apparently BARBARA did leave a will, but I have yet to find a copy.<br />
<br />
But this research raised the question: if this MATTHIAS CLINE who died 1846 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania was not the father of CONRAD CLINE and Dr JACOB ALONZO CLINE, both born in Bracken County, Kentucky, then who was?<br />
<br />
Stay Tuned for Part Two!<br />
<br />
<br />
Be well, be safe, stay home & research on!<br />

<br />
This past year I have been much more involved in researching genealogy, rather than writing about it. But as the year comes to an end, I feel I must publish at least one more blog post, just to show that I have not abandoned this blog altogether!<br />
<br />
Here are some of the amazing developments in my genealogical life over the last decade!<br />
<br />
--<b>Researched and documented the Mayflower ancestors in the lineage of my maternal grandmother, RUBY BOLTON BROWN. Submitted the pedigree and documentation to the Mayflower Society in 2010; it was approved in 2011.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Helped start a local genealogy group, Tree Climbers, in 2011. We are still meeting every month. Last year two of us organized and taught a "Genealogy & DNA" class for our local Senior College.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Had my DNA tested with 23andMe, and FamilyTree DNA, then uploaded to Gedmatch, and later MyHeritage. Most interesting genealogical adventure ever!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Through DNA testing, discovered that my paternal great grandfather PHILLIP LUTHER HUBER, who was presumed dead in 1888 Marshalltown, Iowa, in fact ran away, remarried and started a second family in 1897 in Nashville, Tennessee. I have several DNA matches with descendants from this second family.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--DNA testing finally laid to rest the family legend that my paternal grandmother MINTIE MAE (BRUTON) HUBER was half Cherokee through her maternal WHITECOTTON family. She was not, and they were not-- although there is a definite connection to several Melungeon families of Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee, who have Native American, European and African ancestry.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--This past decade has seen a tremendous upsurge in new sources of records online!! With the <a href="https://www.opc-cornwall.org/" target="_blank">Cornwall Online Parish Records website,</a> I was able to trace my great x 2 grandmother CORDELIA RICKARD and her family back to the 1600's in Kenwyn Parish, Cornwall, where they lived for many generations. Surnames include RICKARD, HICKS, GILBERT, VARLEY, GILL, WEARN/WARNE and more. I now have solid DNA matches to descendants of Cordelia's ancestors</b><b> in the US, UK, New Zealand, and Australia.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Discovered my Canadian roots through the families of my great x 3 grandparents JOHN KENNEDY and ELIZABETH BETSY RINES. Their ancestors were Scottish immigrant to Hants County, Nova Scotia. I now have numerous DNA matches to descendants of this couple. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Visited many graveyards. Took lots of photos. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Met lots of cousins. Lots and lots of cousins!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Researched the amazing and historical Virginia ancestry of my great grandmother ALICE (MILLER) MARTINE. Earliest ancestors were at Jamestown. Many connections to both US Presidents and English royalty. And sadly, lots of plantations and slaves.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Came to fully understand my Quaker ancestry through my paternal great grandmother CAROLINE AMELIA "CRAMELIA" FRAZIER, the wife of PHILLIP LUTHER HUBER. Lots of abolitionists and the Indiana Underground Railway. Many, many DNA matches to this Quaker FRAZIER family--including several matches who were adoptees, and with my extensive list of matches & well-researched tree, were able to find their birth families.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Through DNA testing, I discovered that my 1st cousin had a son he never knew existed, born in Viet Nam, now living in Australia. He came to the US to meet his father in 2018, and we visited him in Australia in 2019. One of the most wonderful experiences ever!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>-- Also discovered through DNA testing that an uncle fathered an illegitimate child while he was in high school. Sadly, the descendant of that child is very upset and not open to contact.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>--Attended the Northwest Genealogy Conference--more than once. It's hosted by the Stilliguamish Valley Genealogy Society. Speakers included CeCe Moore, Blaine Bettinger, Judy G Russell--need I say more?</b><br />
<br />
<b>--Recently I have been enjoying the upsurge of new tools available to analyze DNA matches. Personally, I have found <a href="https://dnapainter.com/help/who" target="_blank">DNAPainter </a>to be particularly useful. Auto-clustering from <a href="https://www.geneticaffairs.com/" target="_blank">Genetic Affairs</a> can be exceptional helpful, especially if you are just starting to analyze your matches. Thank you, Jonny Perl and Evert-Jan Blom for creating such amazing tools!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
May you have a happy, healthy & prosperous New Year, filled with exciting genealogy discoveries.<br />

<br />
<br />
Well, here we are, already into March of 2019, and I have not even written my first post! <br />
<br />
To tell the truth, it feels like I've been drop-kicked into the new year, with all kinds of exciting & fun stuff to keep me occupied, distracted and fill my research time! This included teaching a 3 session Genealogy & DNA class in Jan/Feb with my friend & cousin Susanna for the Anacortes Senior College!<br />
<br />
Last year was a great year for genetic genealogy, with several new tools made available. My favorite, and the tool I use most, is <a href="https://dnapainter.com/about" target="_blank">DNAPainter,</a> created by Jonny Perl, which allows you to paint match segment data directly onto a visual representation of your chromosomes.<br />
<br />
At the end of 2018, Evert-Jon Blom unveiled an auto-clustering tool on <a href="https://www.geneticaffairs.com/" target="_blank">Genetic Affairs</a>, which also has proven to be very helpful! This tool clusters your DNA matches into groups which are essentially triangulation groups, and is extremely helpful, especially for AncestryDNA matches where no segment data is available.<br />
<br />
Several new tools which show promise were just unveiled at 2019 Rootstech : AncestryDNA's ThruLines (useful, but please, Ancestry: get rid of the in-your-face "Potential Ancestors" feature; I hate having my well-researched & documented ancestors replaced with erroneous ancestors from other people's trees...), and MyHeritage's Theories of Family Relativity (very useful, similar to Ancestry's ThruLines, but without the in-your-face"Potential Ancestors").<br />
<br />
So this has me thinking: If I could have my way, what new features would I love to see offered from each of the DNA testing websites? Each site has its strengths & weaknesses, for sure, but what would make them each better?<br />
<br />
<b><u>FamilyTreeDNA</u> </b>I would love to see a triangulation tool added to their website. The "In Common With" feature needs to show triangulated matches, as on MyHeritage--a fabulous feature! There may be Chrome extensions available, but I don't use Chrome, and don't want to have to switch between browsers every time I visit the ftDNA website!<br />
<br />
<u><b>23andMe </b>I</u>t would be really helpful if they had an on-site family tree app, where you could upload a GEDcom. Very few people on 23andMe have family trees attached to their profiles. I do like that they mark triangulated matches with Yes/No. This has proven to be extremely helpful!<br />
<br />
<b><u>MyHeritage</u> </b>X-Chromosome matches! Please! And soon!<br />
<br />
<b><u>AncestryDNA</u> </b>A Chromosome browser, PLEASE, so that we can see the actual segment data, instead of wasting time hoping praying & attempting to find our matches on Gedmatch or other DNA testing websites. Most profiles don't have family trees attached, (or if they do, they are incomplete; I do a lot of tree building) and the only information we are given is the number of centimorgans, and shared matches. You can tell a lot just by having these two pieces of information--but why not give us more? I hate having to guess.<br />
<br />
Also, Ancestry needs to give us a better way to search for our previously viewed matches. I now have a staggering <span style="color: red;"><b>90,000 matches</b></span> on AncestryDNA (I tested in 2012). I regularly lose people. I have thousands of starred matches. The new grouping feature unveiled at Rootstech would take me hours just to set up the groups. I haven't even begun to explore many of my 4th cousin matches. Searching the 90,000 DNA matches using only a surname is fruitless--especially if their surname is Smith! Searching the member directory database? also a waste of time. <br />
<br />
<b>Gedmatch</b> I know, it's not a testing website. I do like many of the new features they offer on Gedmatch Genesis, and I do subscribe to Tier One. But would it kill them to give us a search engine? Once again, I have a ton of matches. Scrolling through my entire list --if I only have a name and no idea how many centimorgans we share-- is sheer agony!!<br />
<br />
So there you have it. My genetic genealogy two cents worth for today!<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />
<br />
Betty<br />

<br />
I have been working on family trees for nearly 25 years, and some days it feels as though there is nothing left to discover! But then I will stumble onto a single document or one piece of information that will absolutely astound me! And that is exactly what has happened recently. <br />
<br />
Who could guess that my aunt--who lived most of her life in California-- would have ancestors who were original settlers in my hometown?!?<br />
<br />
A few years back, I gave one of my male cousins a Family Tree DNA kit as a gift, and worked up a family tree for him, showing the lineage of his mother, my aunt, PATRICIA SUE NAGLEY (1922-1981). A descendant from NAGLEY family kindly shared her tree, which traced the NAGLEY family back to immigration in the 1700s.<br />
<br />
The only problem was, my aunt's great grandfather, JEFFERSON JACKSON NAGLEY, born July 4, 1848 Clark County, Ohio, <i>did not appear to have</i> <i>ever lived</i> with the family of JEFFERSON W NAGLEY b 1824 Clark County, Ohio & HANNAH HAWKINS--the parents that the descendant had listed for him! <br />
<br />
At the time, I tried briefly to untangle the truth about JEFFERSON JACKSON NAGLEY, but couldn't get anywhere, so set the tree aside for awhile to work on other things<br />
<br />
Fast forward a couple of years. Circumstances changed, and I revisited the NAGLEY tree to make sure it was accurate and as complete as possible for my cousin, his relatives and their descendants.<br />
<br />
The truth about JEFFERSON JACKSON NAGLEY's parents can be found in his Washington State death record. On his death certificate, his parents were listed HENRY NAGLEY & FRANCES RODGERS.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaigFw6oSpTITRO8StNiKDSAaz6ygv03iBhUbONPvuiDqPINjlYj4rSuq0OfDPcaLfk8Sr3X5qvaTKXmoVXTxhbKro84f-AK5wJ5OWcmJPcmnQjasQMLB1DvZEW-zvR53Z1qTmyvcmDGA/s1600/Screen+Shot+2018-09-26+at+9.00.05+AM.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaigFw6oSpTITRO8StNiKDSAaz6ygv03iBhUbONPvuiDqPINjlYj4rSuq0OfDPcaLfk8Sr3X5qvaTKXmoVXTxhbKro84f-AK5wJ5OWcmJPcmnQjasQMLB1DvZEW-zvR53Z1qTmyvcmDGA/s320/Screen+Shot+2018-09-26+at+9.00.05+AM.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
This sent me rushing back to the 1850 census for Clark County, Ohio. <br />
<br />
In 1850 Springfield, Clark County Ohio, H B NAGLEY (HENRY BRIGGS NAGLEY) & wife MARY JANE were listed in the census with one daughter OLIVE, age 2. Next door to them lived a NASON family, and two doors down lived the widow ALMIRA (KIMBALL) ROGERS age 41, born Vermont, with her children F M (FRANCES M) ROGERS age 20 born Vermont, JAMES age 17 born Ohio, RUSSELL age 13 born Ohio, GEORGE age 7 born Ohio, and JEFFERSON NAGLEY age 2 born Ohio.<br />
<br />
Later records show that JEFFERSON J NAGLEY was not the son of ALMIRA (KIMBALL) ROGERS, but indeed the son of FRANCES M ROGERS by HENRY BRIGGS NAGLEY.<br />
<br />
FRANCES M "FANNIE" ROGERS was the daughter of SAMUEL ROGERS & ALMIRA KIMBALL, born 27 Sep 1829 in Stowe, Lamoille county, Vermont. Her parents had deep New England roots, but moved westward in the 1830s to the area that would become Clark County, Ohio.<br />
<br />
FRANCES may or may not have been married to HENRY BRIGGS NAGLEY. A marriage license for HENRY B NAGLEY & his future wife MARY JANE WRIGHT was issued 8 March 1845 when she was age 15, underage, with her parent's consent--but the court record showing that they were actually wed was never written in the record book!! Their first child OLIVE was not born until 1848. So far, I have not found a marriage record for HENRY & FRANCES. If they were wed, it was only for a short time when FRANCES was age 18. <br />
<br />
FRANCES M ROGERS married 2nd) to ISAAC T NASON on June 1, 1851 in Clark County, Ohio. ISAAC was 20 years older than FRANCES. They had two sons ISAAC NEWTON NASON born 18 Nov 1851, and EMERSON B NASON born 12 Nov 1853. ISAAC T NASON died 25 Feb 1854 in Clark County, Ohio.<br />
<br />
For her 3rd) marriage, FRANCES M ROGERS married JAMES WEAVERLING on 30 Sep 1857 in Rock Island County, Illinois. The 1860 Buffalo Prairie, Rock Island, Illinois census shows FRANCES, husband JAMES, several of his children from previous marriage, her two NASON sons, and their son CHARLES WEAVERLING.<br />
<br />
In 1860, JEFFERSON NAGLEY age 12 was still living in the household of JACOB & CYNTHIA CATROW in Clark County, Ohio. It was likely that he was bound out for service with that family.<br />
<br />
By the 1870 census, JAMES WEAVERLING & wife FRANCES were living in Jackson twp, Johnson County Missouri. JEFFERSON NAGLEY age 21, NEWTON NASON, age 18 and EMERSON NASON age 16 are listed in the household, as are three of JAMES' children by his 1st marriage, plus six of their own children.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6ApyhPvNtyHipF7FsqFsQwqv7F5QKc7OsQxWudd9k6HiMi_7YDiCm8pNizkLj07f8N0SylHgoOc9XTwz2jsWJkx3Q4Jho6gyebkFyx-wdfPkKAkIGzweOTdPjDCxuHAO7nH341XXyoY/s1600/Screen+Shot+2018-10-20+at+7.20.37+AM.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG6ApyhPvNtyHipF7FsqFsQwqv7F5QKc7OsQxWudd9k6HiMi_7YDiCm8pNizkLj07f8N0SylHgoOc9XTwz2jsWJkx3Q4Jho6gyebkFyx-wdfPkKAkIGzweOTdPjDCxuHAO7nH341XXyoY/s400/Screen+Shot+2018-10-20+at+7.20.37+AM.png" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Sometime around 1875, the extended WEAVERLING family migrated to what was then Washington Territory. Before they left, JEFFERSON JACKSON NAGLEY married LOUISA BEAMON on 14 April 1872 in Johnson County, Missouri. ISAAC N NASON married & settled in Nebraska, then Wyoming; his brother EMERSON NASON married & settled in Utah.<br />
<br />
In 1880 the remaining family members were living on what would come to be known as Weaverling Spit, on Ship Harbor, in Anacortes, Skagit County, Washington (This was part of Whatcom County in 1880). JEFFERSON J NAGLEY & his wife & children lived practically next door; another neighbor was the widow ERNESTINE DEUTSCH & her children, and a short distance away, AMOS BOWMAN, and his wife ANNA CURTIS BOWMAN, the namesake of the town of Anacortes.<br />
<br />
JEFFERSON JACKSON NAGLEY, wife LOUISA and their family lived on Weaverling Spit in Anacortes for at least a decade. Several of their children were born in Anacortes. In 1889, the family moved to Snohomish County, and from there, over Stevens Pass to the town of Cashmere, and then Twisp, Okanogan County, Washington. JEFFERSON JACKSON NAGLEY died in Twisp 26 Feb 1937.<br />
<br />
FRANCES & JAMES WEAVERLING lived on Weaverling Spit until 1894, when JAMES died. FRANCES then moved for several years to Seattle, where she married 4th) to JEROME MARFORD. She did return to Anacortes to live with her son CHARLES, and died 23 Jan 1913 in Anacortes, Skagit County, Washington.<br />
<br />
FRANCES & JAMES WEAVERLING are both buried in Fern Hill Cemetery, in Anacortes.<br />
<br />
Son CHARLES WEAVERLING lived & farmed on the family homestead on Weaverling Spit until the 1920s. The land was sold, and in recent years was returned to the Samish Tribe. It is now the site of an RV park, with community access via the Tommy Thompson Trail & bike path. <br />
<br />
Weaverling Spit is only a short distance from my home, and I have visited many times!!<br />
<br />

Have a great day!<br />

Fortunately these photos have names inscribed on the backs. Many in the box did not.<br />
<br />
My aim is to find descendants and return these photos to their families!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFCQqgJvpiFh9e1xEqyn7W54MUYn-G_kZDtLDAvcfkCkr5qpdrZhSxYRha_rI3pKM8hx3u_WkXslmBa1hvWMnYw1xDqx3IFxPhMxqDsgorKswo5_jyBbEO9IV_WwuEhgDkfqJHT0P4klI/s1600/Zeilinger.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFCQqgJvpiFh9e1xEqyn7W54MUYn-G_kZDtLDAvcfkCkr5qpdrZhSxYRha_rI3pKM8hx3u_WkXslmBa1hvWMnYw1xDqx3IFxPhMxqDsgorKswo5_jyBbEO9IV_WwuEhgDkfqJHT0P4klI/s400/Zeilinger.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
This is RICHARD CARLISLE ZEILINGER born about 1907, on left & in center, and his sister MARGARET INEZ ZEILINGER on right. The inscription on front of photos shows they were taken at the studio of H L Boston, in David City, Nebraska.<br />
<br />

Over the last two weeks I have been playing with the website <a href="https://dnapainter.com/" target="_blank">DNA Painter</a> , which was created by Jonny Perl. According to the website <span style="color: blue;">"<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700;">DNA Painter is a simple web-based tool allowing you to 'paint' segments of your DNA according to the ancestors you inherited them from, and to track your DNA matches visually". </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">I have to say, this website is amazing, and has helped me immensely! I have been keeping a DNA match "master list" for many years, but have found that even when I mark maternal / paternal triangulation groups in the list, it's been difficult to visualize them. With this website, and the ability to visualize the segment data, I have been able to pin down some of the individuals who were actually the sources of my DNA.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">It is well known that your genetic family tree will not include all the ancestors in your genealogical family tree. Because of the process of recombination, many ancestors will be winnowed out of your genetic mix, and will not be the source of your DNA.

<br />
First of all, you should know that there never was a person named "ALBERT OLIVER CAMPBELL" from New York who was a Loyalist & fled to Canada in 1783-1796, according to actual records of Loyalist migrations.<br />
<br />
The "ALBERT OLIVER CAMPBELL" found in numerous family trees is the result of researchers blending two different families, one being the family of my great x 4 grandfather ALBERT CAMPBELL born 1748 from Orange/Rockland county New York (see my previous posts), the other the Loyalist family which eventually settled in Cramahe township, Northumberland, Ontario, Canada.<br />
<br />
The man who was a Loyalist was actually named OLIVER CAMPBELL, born about 1744 in New York. According to several websites I found, he fought for the British during the Revolutionary War.<br />
<br />
So clearly, OLIVER CAMPBELL could not be the same person as ALBERT CAMPBELL, because ALBERT never fought for the British. Like all of his brothers & brothers-in-law, ALBERT fought in the 2nd Regiment, Orange County New York Militia, under Capt Jacob Onderdonk (see "New York in the Revolution" by Bethold Fernow). The Campbells, Smiths & Van Houtens were definitely NOT Loyalists, and fully supported the Revolution.<br />
<br />
So who was OLIVER CAMPBELL? When did he arrive in Canada? There are records which indicate he settled first at Adolphustown, date unknown, but shortly after 1784: <br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfaf2; color: #665544; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The muster of Loyalists under Grass and Van Alstine at Kingston and Adolphustown in October of 1784 is unfortunately late....None of the late people and their famlies can be found in the Lists at New York or Quebec but many had been registered as Associated Loyalists on the U.E. List (established in 1789 to honour Loyalists families and adherents.) In Kingston they include Benjamin Babcock, James Dawson, Andrew Denych, Andrew Ten Eyck, James Hawley, Jerimah Lap, Bensley Peters, Francis Powley and Arthur Yeomans. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfaf2; color: #665544; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfaf2; color: #665544; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">In Adolphustown the late Associated Loyalists include </span><span style="background-color: #fdfaf2; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Oliver Campbell</b></span></span><span style="background-color: #fdfaf2; color: #665544; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>,</b> William Casey, John and James Canniff, William Griffith, Obadiah Simpson, Michael Sloot, Peter Wanamaker and Henry Ridner. I have not included these names under the Lists of Grass and Van Alstine and their story has not yet been told.

There is a notation in the Ancestry.com database "Loyalists & Land Settlement in Nova Scotia" shows a man called OLIVER CAMPBELL was given land in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1785. Was this the same man?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.uelac.org/Loyalist-Info/detail.php?letter=c&line=133" target="_blank">The United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada website </a>indicates that OLIVER CAMPBELL was born 1744, has been proven as a Loyalist, and settled first at Adolphustown, then in Cramahe township, Northumberland, Ontario. His sons WILLIAM CAMPBELL, STEPHEN CAMPBELL & JOHN CAMPBELL appear in these locations also.<br />
<br />
Some sources indicate there was another son CORNELIUS CAMPBELL, but so far I have found few records for him, and one source actually shows him emigrating to Canada in 1843 (?), long after OLIVER & his other sons settled in Cramahe township.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://images.ourontario.ca/Partners/Cobourg/0000484361T.PDF" target="_blank">A newspaper article from 2001</a> indicates that OLIVER CAMPBELL was given a land grant of 300 acres in Kingston for his loyalty to the crown, granted May 17, 1802, but that the Campbell family did not remain in that area for long.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~saylormowbray/cramahe1797.html" target="_blank">A list of settlers in Cramahe Township in 1797 </a>shows OLIVER CAMPBELL, WILLIAM CAMPBELL & JOHN CAMPBELL acquiring lots adjacent to each other. <br />
<br />
OLIVER CAMPBELL is on a tax list for 1805 Cramahe Township.<br />
<br />
According to many family trees & some Loyalist records, OLIVER CAMPBELL was married to CATHERINE STEPHENS--not CATHARINA VAN HOUTEN of Orange Co NY, who married ALBERT CAMPBELL.<br />
<br />
I look forward to further researching OLIVER CAMPBELL who apparently died Nov 11, 1805 in Cramahe Township, Northumberland, Ontario, Canada. His story must be an interesting one. But it is not the same story as my great x 4 grandfather ALBERT CAMPBELL, who was a Patriot--not a Loyalist.<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

<br />
Sometimes, in genealogy, sparse records lead people to make assumptions & jump to incorrect conclusions.<br />
<br />
This has been the case with my great x 5 grandfather, ALBERT CAMPBELL, born about 1748 in or near Clarkstown, Orange Co (Rockland Co by 1798) New York. <br />
<br />
ALBERT was the son of WILLIAM CAMPBELL II and his wife GEERTJE STEPHENSEN of Clarkstown. He married in Orange Co New York, in about 1772, CATHARINA/CATHERINE VAN HOUTEN, the daughter of JOHANNES ROELOFSE VAN HOUTEN & CATHARINA LEPPER.<br />
<br />
A few years back, I was contacted by a researcher who was <i>certain</i> that my ancestor ALBERT CAMPBELL was the same person as his ancestor ALBERT OLIVER CAMPBELL who was a Loyalist and left for Nova Scotia Canada in July 1783 from New York City, settling May 2, 1784 in Shelburne, then migrated to Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 1796.<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">(**UPDATED Note 8/17/17: This timeline of settlement is apparently incorrect, according to the <a href="http://www.uelac.org/Loyalist-Info/detail.php?letter=c&line=133" target="_blank">United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada website</a>, which shows that OLIVER CAMPBELL has been proven a Loyalist, lived in Adophustown, Ontario sometime around 1784, then Cramahe township, Northumberland, Ontario by 1797. He had a land grant of 300 acres in Kingston in 1802</span><span style="color: red;">. </span><span style="color: magenta;"><a href="https://bettysgenealogyblog.blogspot.com/2017/08/oliver-campbell-born-1744-loyalist-of.html" target="_blank">See my subsequent post on OLIVER CAMPBELL</a>)</span></b><br />
<br />
I was not so certain. I looked at all the records I could find, and came to the conclusion that ALBERT CAMPBELL of Orange/Rockland Co New York and ALBERT OLIVER CAMPBELL, Loyalist, were absolutely NOT the same person. In the end, we had to "agree to disagree", and that was the end of it, or so I thought.....<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, as of this date, on Ancestry.com public trees, I have found 64 people who have copied this error. <br />
<br />
Here is why ALBERT CAMPBELL of Orange/Rockland Co New York could not be same person as ALBERT OLIVER CAMPBELL the Loyalist:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">1) ALBERT CAMPBELL fought in the Revolutionary War, 2nd Regiment Orange Co New York Militia, under Capt JACOB ONDERDONK.</span></b><br />
<br />
Also in the same regiment were ALBERT's brothers:<br />
STEPHEN CAMPBELL,<br />
WILLIAM CAMPBELL III, and<br />
LUCAS/LUKE CAMPBELL, as well as his brothers-in-law:<br />
JOHANNES VAN HOUTEN (b July 17, 1750 brother of CATHARINA),<br />
STEPHANUS SMITH (married MARRITJE VAN HOUTEN sister of CATHARINA), and<br />
GERRIT SMITH (married AELTJE VAN HOUTEN sister of CATHARINA).<br />
<br />
According to historical sources, there were many Loyalist families in Orange/Rockland Co New York, in the vicinity of what is now Clarkstown, but clearly the CAMPBELLs & the VAN HOUTENs were committed to the rebellion.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">2) ALBERT CAMPBELL still lived in Orange (later Rockland) Co New York in 1790. </span>He is listed on the 1790 census, Haverstraw, Orange Co, New York, living adjacent to his father WILLIAM CAMPBELL II, and brothers STEPHEN CAMPBELL, WILLIAM CAMPBELL III, and LUCAS/LUKE CAMPBELL.<br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
Here is the census image, showing the father & sons all living in close proximity, upper left of image.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOgA-sSLQTWgDood2mE6bEWtv1Sp0OZ_knYMj96_9g_GtrHk8wpqoCI_OssTMqjXssOsgoww7htmOOAHQmZFILHaljUzkvREC25zyhp5P-1UGa9l-gDCdUAGWurC9-xS1VSIWflW21C4/s1600/1790+Haverstraw%252C+Orange%252C+New+York+census.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1408" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOgA-sSLQTWgDood2mE6bEWtv1Sp0OZ_knYMj96_9g_GtrHk8wpqoCI_OssTMqjXssOsgoww7htmOOAHQmZFILHaljUzkvREC25zyhp5P-1UGa9l-gDCdUAGWurC9-xS1VSIWflW21C4/s640/1790+Haverstraw%252C+Orange%252C+New+York+census.jpg" width="561" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Therefore, if ALBERT CAMPBELL was living in Haverstraw, Orange Co New York (Clarkstown & Rockland Co had not yet been formed from Haverstraw), he could not be the same person as ALBERT OLIVER CAMPBELL, Loyalist. <br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;">(**UPDATED Note 8/17/17: According to many sources, Loyalists were reviled and considered traitors. They had their land & belonging confiscated and were summarily kicked out of their communities at the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783-1784. None of this happened to ALBERT CAMPBELL. Census & Baptism records show that he was still living in the same community in Orange/Rockland Co New York <i>over a decade after the war ended in 1783</i>. )</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">3) BAPTISM RECORDS FROM THE DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH SHOW THAT ALBERT CAMPBELL WAS LIVING IN ORANGE (LATER ROCKLAND) CO NEW YORK IN 1788 & 1791</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b>ALBERT CAMPBELL & CATHARINA VAN HOUTEN </b>of Orange/ Rockland Co NY had the following children, as per the records of the Tappan/Clarkstown Dutch Reformed Church, Orange (later Rockland) Co New York:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><b>--JOHANNES CAMPBELL</b> b Jan 25, 1773 Tappan/Clarkstown DRC, Orange Co NY</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;">(no further info)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><b>--GEERTJE "CHARITY" CAMPBELL</b> b Jan 17 1776 Tappan/Clarkstown DRC Orange Co NY (married ISAAC MARTINE; lived New York City by 1808, Spencerport Monroe Co NY by 1840, died Spencerport in 1850)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><b>--JOHN CAMPBELL</b> b April 6 1778 Tappan/Clarkstown DRC Orange Co NY (no further info)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><b>--CATHARINA/CATRINA/CATHERINE CAMPBELL</b> b Aug 22, 1788 Tappan/Clarkstown DRC Orange Co New York (no further info)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><b>--CORNELIUS CAMPBELL</b> b Aug 16, 1791 Tappan/Clarkstown DRC Orange Co New York (no further info)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
Clearly, if ALBERT CAMPBELL & his wife were Loyalists who fled to Shelburne, Nova Scotia in 1784, they would NOT be coming back & forth across the border to have their children baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church in Tappan/Clarkstown in 1788 and 1791!!<br />
<br />
And just for comparison, here are the children of ALBERT OLIVER CAMPBELL & unknown wife, from various online trees:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><b>--JOHANNES WILLIAM CAMPBELL</b> b Dec 25, 1773 (?) New York m HARRIET SCRIBNER, died Canada</span><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">(Note that the Michigan death certificate for his daughter MARY shows his name as WILLIAM CAMPBELL **not** "JOHANNES WILLIAM")</span></b><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><b>--LUCY CAMPBELL</b> b 1788 New York died Canada</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><b>--PLUS</b> all of the children of ALBERT CAMPBELL & CATHARINA VAN HOUTEN that I listed above. All the erroneous online trees I found <i>blend</i> the family of ALBERT CAMPBELL/CATHRINA VAN HOUTEN, with the family of ALBERT OLIVER CAMPBELL, Loyalist, who died in Canada</span>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">4) ALBERT CAMPBELL of Orange/Rockland Co New York was named in the 1794 Orange/Rockland Co New York will of his father WILLIAM CAMPBELL II</span></b><br />
The will was written Aug 12, 1794, and probated Jan 4, 1799 Clarkstown, Rockland Co New York. <span style="color: red;"><b>NOT ONLY WAS ALBERT CAMPBELL LISTED AS AN HEIR, HE WAS LISTED AS AN EXECUTOR!!!</b> </span>(see next blog post for a scanned copy of original will). Clearly, ALBERT CAMPBELL was still alive at the time WILLIAM wrote his will, and was not a Loyalist living in Canada. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">5) ALBERT CAMPBELL & his family are not listed in the 1800 Orange or Rockland Co New York census.</span></b> It is possible that ALBERT died by 1800. There is no will in Orange/Rockland Co New York, however. But what happened to his wife & children? I only have been able to trace daughter GEERTJE "CHARITY" CAMPBELL who married ISAAC MARTINE, my great x 4 grandparents.<br />
<br />
<br />
One more item: ALBERT CAMPBELL's parents both had Dutch heritage, and the Dutch did not use middle names. If anything, they would use a patronymic as a second name, and if they had done so in this case ALBERT's name would have been "Albert Williams Campbell" NOT "Albert Oliver Campbell".<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

<br />
The inscription from the front of the album says "Present to ANNIE CARLSON from her uncle ANDREW DAVIDSON, 1898". Some of the photographs were taken in studios in Lehigh, Schulyer, Norfolk & Stanton, Nebraska. One of the photos shows a young man in a band uniform with his instrument wearing a pouch or satchel that says "The Stanton Band"! <br />
<br />
Three carte de visite photos were taken 1883 in Sweden. <br />
<br />
I started searching in the 1900 census in Stanton, Nebraska and hit the jackpot! ANDREW DAVIDSON & his two nieces AMELIE & ANNA CARLSON were living in the town of Butterfly in Stanton County in 1900. On same page, a few houses away, ANDREW's brother OTTO DAVIDSON and sister CHRISTINA (DAVIDSON) CARLSON are listed<br />
<br />

<br />
While I did not have the time to further trace these families in later census records, I did find ANDREW DAVIDSON on Find-a-Grave.<br />
<br />
The entry indicates that ANDREW was born July 16, 1865 in Sweden, and died May 20, 1953 in Stanton, Nebraska; his sister was CHRISTINA DAVIDSON who married JOHN CARLSON (parents of ALBERT CARLSON, ELLEN CARLSON, ELMER CARLSON, AMELIE CARLSON & ANNA CARLSON in the census above). ANDREW had a brother OTTO DAVIDSON who also immigrated from Sweden in 1884.<br />
<br />
ANDREW DAVIDSON, OTTO DAVIDSON, CHRISTINA DAVIDSON CARLSON & JOHN CARLSON, and their son ELMER CARLSON born 1897 Stanton, Nebraska, are all buried in the Stanton cemetery. <br />

<br />
The man in center portrait and bottom right is likely ANDREW DAVIDSON, and I suspect he is the seated man in the carte de visite upper right. The dark haired man on left I was unable to identify. The three small carte de visite were taken in Sweden (Vimmerby, Stockholm & Halmstad) in 1883. ANDREW DAVIDSON & his brother OTTO DAVIDSON emigrated to the United States in 1884.<br />

<br />
This is the first photograph in the album, and judging from the family resemblance to ANDREW, this lovely lady is either CHRISTINA (DAVIDSON) CARLSON or her daughter ANNA CARLSON.<br />
<br />
If you have any further information, please contact me. I will be attempting to reunite these photos with descendants.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">NOTE 4/5/17: This album has been reunited with descendants! My work here is done!</span></b><br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

<br />
This photo album is of the family of DAVID BRYDEN & JULIA ANN SWALLOW of Ironton, Sauk Co Wisconsin. DAVID BRYDEN was an immigrant from Scotland. JULIA's family was from New York. The album apparently belonged to her. There are no other names or inscriptions in the album<br />
<br />
There are over 60 portrait photographs & carte de visite in this photo album, which is remarkably well preserved. The oldest photos appear to be from the 1860s or 1870s, the most recent from the 1900s. Some of the portraits & carte de visite were from studios in Scotland!<br />
<br />

I believe the couple on right are DAVID BRYDEN Jr & EULALLA BLAKESEE, from photos that I found on Ancestry public trees. The child is unidentified, but appears in several other portraits. The portraits were taken at a studio in Redfield, South Dakota.<br />

<br />
I suspect this older couple might be DAVID BRYDEN Sr the immigrant and JULIA ANN SWALLOW.<br />
<br />
I am in the process of contacting descendants of this family. If anyone has any further information, please contact me.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This album plus two others were destined for the dumpster, but as a genealogist, I simply couldn't let that happen without attempting to find descendants to share them with!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The photos in this album are from late 1850s to early 1900s, mostly from a photography studio in Xenia, Greene Co Ohio, a couple from Dayton, Ohio; two from Manchester, Iowa, and a few from Los Angeles. All are from the same Peterson family. There are over 30 photos, mostly unidentified.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I believe I have located a descendant on Ancestry.com who has posted photos of JOHN NASH & ELIZABETH ANN PETERSON, below, and have attempted to contact them. If anyone has any further information, please contact me.</div>
