| 401 | According to her daughter, Maud, Kitty combed her hair with sage tea everyday so that everyone thought she had black hair until three weeks before her death. Albert Pickering nicknamed her "Roly Poly" because she was 4'9" and 140 lbs.d a white poodle which she led on walks by carrying a sucker behind her. It worked quite well according to my father at keeping him following her. She was apparently an alcoholic, suffered with arthritis and died of a heart attack at about age 63. Her death certificate says she died of Chronic Brights Disease which is a disorder of the kidneys. (C-2, C:DOC) According to her obituary, she died at 8 o'clock in the morning on Feb. 11th. She was buried on Valentines' Day and her funeral was held at her daughter, Keturah Ritter's home. There were relatives listed in Albert Pickering Coate's Funeral Memory book in 1941 listed as Mr. and Mrs. E. Dimmack. They were Ephram and Daisy Dimmack from Middletown. According to my Dad, Albert Edward Coate, they were his 2nd cousins related to Keturah Dimmack Stevens. This could mean that they were 1st cousins once removed instead, but his family would call that relationship a second cousin. Ephram's brother was Albert Dimmack. Two of Albert's daughters had taken my father to their Episcopal Church a couple times (probably in Middletown.) (C-2078, 2517) They are also related to Dimmacks in Wheeling, WV. (C-687) I have found a birth record for a Keturah Dimmock born the same day as our Keturah in Stourbridge, Kinswinford, co. Stafford, England that could be a relative of our Keturah. The birth record takes place on Jun 10, 1855 on 392 Moorelane. Parents, John Dimmock and Seah Priest Dimmock. (C-300) There is a marriage record another Keturah Ann Dimmack that I sent for that turns out to be a cousin to our Keturah. It's for a Keturah Ann Dimmack who marries a Richard Dawes on Mar. 4, 1876 (though it looks like 1846 - it was indexed as 1876) in Saint Peters Church, Wolverhampton Parish, co. Staffordshire, England. Her father is listed as Mathias Dimmack (our Keturah's Uncle) who was a horse dealer. There is a Benjamin Dimmack in the London, England 1871 census, age 23, born in Lambeth, Surrey, ENG that would be the right age to be her cousin also. He could be the Benjamin Charles Dimmack that married in 1873 in Wolverhampton District which included parts of the counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire and West Midlands. Wolverhampton District is one place where several events in this family grouping appear to be recorded. | Dimmock, Keturah (Kitty) * (I10856)

|
| 405 | According to his obituary in the Dayton Journal dated Mar. 29, 1922, he was born in Manchester, England. Family tradition has been that he was born in London or in Lancaster, England (Death certificate). However, in the 1881 census record for England his birth place is listed as Rugby, Warwick, England. This is the only source that lists his birth place while he was alive. It was not the same as his wife's or children's place of birth. His birth date is listed as Nov. 25, 1853 or Nov. 25, 1857 (death certificate). The 1881 census tells us that he was 24 years of age, making either 1856 or 1857 correct. His christening record took place in Aug. of 1857, so he was therefore likely born in Nov. of 1856. Fred Stevens gave the information on the death certificate that is often at variance with other sources. There is a John Stevens and Keturah Dimmock living in the Parish of Hackney, Co. of Middlesex in 1875 on Englefield Rd. that are probably them. (C-589) He was a superintendent of the mechanical department for the "ChatterBox". It was an English child's annual storybook. In the 1881 census, John is listed as a printer and they lived at 161 Eversleigh Rd., Battersea, Surrey, England. In his christening record and 1881 census record, his name is listed as John Stevens. My father remembered his middle name being Charles, but that has not been verified. He (age 26) and his wife, "Katy" (age 27) and sons, Fred (age 7) and George (age 4) emigrated to the United States arriving in New York on November 1, 1883 on the Grecian Monarch. This was before Ellis Island was opened. They had departed from London, England. John was listed as a printer by profession. They came in Steerage with 3 pieces of luggage for the entire family. (C: Doc) In his 1922 obituary, he was listed as having been in the U.S. for 35 years, but in reality it was around 39 years. They first moved to Wheeling, West Virginia where he worked as in Interior Decorator. They them moved to Dayton, Ohio in 1892 where he continued in the same trade and where he lived for the remainder of his days. He is listed as a painter living at 1916 E. Fifth Street in the Dayton, Ohio 1889 and 1890 directories. There are several Stevens in the Dayton, Montgomery Co., OH directory of 1887 that have similar names to his children, who could be his relatives that he followed to Ohio. They include an A.E. Stevens, an Alfred, a George W. (1845-1923) and a John Stevens. (C-1905, C-Doc) In the U.S. 1900 census, John is listed as a house painter who could read, write and speak English. They rented their home at 411 N. Main St, Dayton, Ohio. Both John's and Keturah's parents were born in England. (C-98) In his later years, John worked for a cookie factory called Greene and Greene as a painter and custodian. His sons (Alfred) George and Albert Edward were at one time both in the painting business with him. They lived through 7 floods in the United States. (C-2,4, 1899) These floods might account for the reason they moved often renting the following residences in Dayton, Ohio according to Dayton City Directories: 1900: 411N Main St., 1902: 67 E. Halena, 1908: 218 N. Linwood, 1914: 522 W. 3rd. In his death certificate, his son Fred gives his birth date as Nov. 25, 1857. However, both census records give his age matching a birth year of 1853. (C-226, C:Doc) As for his death, this was a very sad event for his children. John had remarried and was quite ill. When my father's mother and her sisters wanted to visit their father on his death bed on Bolander Ave, their new mother-in-law wouldn't let them in. She got all of his belongings including all the family heirlooms and furniture from England. The daughters even suspected that he was poisoned by his wife. However, his death certificate says that he died of a cerebral hemorrhage compounded by pneumonia that he'd had for the last 7 days. He died at 9:30 on a Monday evening. The funeral was held at the home of his daughter, Keturah Ritter, at 2:00 p.m. on Mar. 30, 1922. (C:DOC, 2077, 2517) | Stevens, John * (I10862)

| 406 | According to Jacobus, Mehitable was Caleb's wife. There is another slightly younger Caleb Hotchkiss not to be confused with this one who married a Ruth Munson. | Hotchkiss, Caleb (I7817)

| 407 | According to Joe Coates, this Elizabeth married Ashton Garrett and had Anne and Alexander. Anne married Overton Burruss and Alexander married Martha Lumpkin, a granddaughter of Gov. Lumpkin of North Carolina. (C-1972) | Coate, Elizabeth (I7457)

| 408 | According to Margaret Bowen, Jesse Coate was born June 1, 1788 instead of the date I've listed, but Hinshaw gives his birth date as 1m 3d 1788. Jesse's wife, Mary, was a relative of President Andrew Johnson. They had 8 children. He had notd to Ohio in 1804 with his father as his residence is listed in Nov. 13, 1806 as South Carolina when he bought 160 acres in Newton Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. He forfeited this land before living on it. He had moved to Miami Co., Ohio by the time he married in 1808. He was listed as living in Newton Twp., Miami Co., OH in the 1827 tax lists near his brothers, James, John, and William. (C-55) He is listed with a wife named Sally in an 1826 deed in Miami County where he and his brothers are selling land they owned jointly to Moses Kelly. All his siblings have known spouses. However, she signs her name as Polly Coate on this deed which is the normal nickname for Mary. The deed was transcribed by a courthouse officiate into the deed book and maybe they made an error on her name of Sarah. Jesse wrote his will July 5, 1837. (C-27, 422, 644, E) | Coate, Jesse (I10706)

| 409 | According to Margaret Holland's letter in the 1800's, "Bryan Coppock ... (who was baptized in 1645) probably found an impoverished business, & went to live near Tarvin. He died there in 1722, and was buried in Mobberley. He had issph, who may have been the same as that mentioned in the Register as of "Maud's House"-- very likely the present "Mode Cottage"-- about 1800, and the names of several children appear on the register..." There is a Bryon Coppock buried in St. Wilfreds, Mobberly, ENG in the 1700's. The grave and the name of his father on his tombstone is apparently unreadable. If it actually lists his father it's likely that he died as a child and would be a possible descendant of this branch of the family. (C-2293e) | Coppock, Bryon (I15074)

| 410 | According to Marilu Gordon, wife of John's grandson, John moved back to the Uzhhorod area with his mother as an infant. He came back to the U.S. at the age of 18 being able to speak 6 languages. He "was a fine man". He also was a wonderok and opened a restaurant in Endicott, NY. "He had a thick old world accent." My children's gr.grandfather could remember eating in his restaurant. | Wolfe, John (I5853)

| 411 | According to my father, Amelia was German. (C-1401) | Unknown, Amelia (I10924)

| 412 | According to nephews and nieces of Electa in Adney's book, she was tall, fair, had blue eyes and was "marvelous". She was an animated person. "When she wasn't talking, she was laughing, and always on the go." She and her family didn't runy schedule. They might not eat dinner till 11:00 p.m. You could find her and her children still in bed at noon. They lived a free lifestyle. They pictured her running with two pails of water jumping over the "low bars with a whoop like an Indian." According to Adney's relatives she died on Aug. 30, 1868, but our reading of her cemetery stone says she died on Aug. 30, 1866. The stone also says that she was 57 yrs, 7 mo, and 19 days old at the time of her death and this matches with her 1868 birth date intstead. (CL-376) | Glenn, Wealtha Electa (I14591)

| 413 | According to Norman L. Forte, grandson of Edward Forte, Edward's parents and grandparents were physicians from the Barbados Islands, originally of English descent. According to his son Edward Cyrus Forte, his father's full name was Edward Cyrus I. Factually, an 1850 U.S. census record lists his birth place in Barbados. He came to America as a hand on a sailing vessel at a young age. He was supposedly in the service as his son Edward of Julius applied for a pension for their mother due to his service for his country. (F-321) He spent much of his life at sea and spent his last few years as ship's captain. He was murdered in Mexico. There is a cemetery stone for him in New Haven, Conn. Diantha Fitch Bunnell apparently made a living, part of her life, by being a college dormitory mother. She raised her children Presbyterian. Feelings left over in the family, suggest that Edward was despised by his sons as a pirate. He supposedly owned land that is now a part of Mexico City. His sons disposed of his holdings as if to wash their hands of him. The Mormon I.G.I. files for Barbados includes the following data. The information was supposedly transcribed from actual Christening records. An Edward Forte was christened as the son of Christopher and Anna Forte on 22 Sept. 1822 in Saint Thomas Parish, Barbados. Edward had the following brothers and sisters, also children of Christopher and Anna: Samuel Simmons, chr. 1816, Elizabeth, chr. 18 Sept., 1818, Christopher and Sarah Elizabeth, chr. 17 Nov. 1820, (Our Edward) Mary Anna, chr. 8 Jun., 1824. (Note that this Christening date contradicts information in Edward's Autobiographical letter: "The Sea Gull." In it he states that his three sisters died before he was born, Mar., 1821. (F-227d) Christening records have been verified when we took a trip to Barbados. It appears that Edward didn't have every detail correct. The following letter and newspaper clipping were sent to me by Edward's great grandson, Henry Lincoln Forte III. The letter, as printed in total here, was transcribed from the original by the grandson of Edward, Norman Leroy Forte. The original is lost by all known accounts, but it was passed down through Edward's son, Henry Lincoln Forte I, to his grandson, Joseph A. (Joe), to his brother, Norman. The letter is entitled, "The Sea Gull: The Life and Adventures of E. Forte. (It is typed in exact duplicate, preserving punctuation, to the copy I received. Only information in parentheses has been added by me.) "As I am now about to relate a few circumstances touching on my own life and proceedings, I think I shall explain as well as I can my birth place and the curious way which I have got along through life, hoping that if any one should ever take up or notice these few lines they will of course excuse the rough language and the many mistakes which are generally made by seamen as by profession I am one of that unfortunate class of men called the sons of the sea at the same time not professing to be an accomplished author but only do this for my own curiosity in my idle moments as it maybe of some importance to my relatives or friends as well as my own family. Chapter 1 I was born in the Island of Barbadoes, one of the British West Indies or Caribbean Islands laying in North latitude 13 (degrees) and West longitude 59 (degrees). I was born in the year of our Lord 1821 on the 7th day of March and am a son of Doctor Christopher Forte and Anna Lamming which was my Mother's maiden name and a grandson of Doctor Samuel Forte. There were six children by my Father and Mother; namely, Samuel Simons Forte, Christopher Forte, Elizabeth First, Elizabeth Second and Mary Anna Forte Third, Edward Forte the Last and youngest. My three sisters all died before I was born and my Mother, Anna Lamming, died July 4th, 1821, leaving me at the age of three months. After the death of my Mother, my Father was almost driven to distraction having lost his sole choice and consolation in this life. But things soon took a change. My aunt, Miss Mary Forte and her sister Sarah took charge of my Brother Christopher and myself and educated us - of whom we have now to thank for what little education we are hoped of. My Brother Samuel remained with my Father and studied his profession. After I arrived at the age of eight years, my Father took another wife and was married October 9th, 1829 to a Miss Mary Yearwood, home town Barbadoes and in December of the same year I was brought back to my Father's residence along with my Brother Christopher and was then put to school in the parish of St. Thomas to my uncle Mr. Dymock Lamming a Brother of my deceased Mother. It was not long before terror and dismay began to show itself in the countenance of my poor, afflicted Father as his second wife began to act contrary to his wishes and to abuse my Brother and myself, giving us very often what is called the mother-in-law's affection in giving us a regular caneing every chance she got. My Father had four children by this cruel woman. Nathaniel the first, Ann the second, Jane the third, and John Millard Forte the last. Every day I could see that my poor parent began to decline in health and often would I sit by his side and tell him that I though(t) we would not have him long with us and surely it proved true. My Father was taken very ill and was removed to my Aunt's who married a Mr. John Millard, an English merchant, and on the 10th day of December, 1835, he died in the 40th year of his age. I was with him to the last moment and he died perfectly delirious but knew me and spoke to me about an hour before he died. It is impossible for me to describe my feelings when at that moment and for ever up to this day that I am writing this, after everything was settled it appears by some unjust contrivance but which I believe is the British law, that my oldest Brother Samuel Simons Forte, was heir to all the proceeds left after the estate was settled of which he went to England, finished his medical studies and I found that I must do something. I was put on a plantation by my Aunt, Miss Mary Forte, to learn to be a planter, but I did not like it and therefore left. I next went on board the ship Eleanor of London and stayed one year and a half and left her as in British Merchantman the usage is very cruel to boys. Captain Samuel Ewing was the captain of the ship Eleanor. I left her at Barbadoes and joined the American barque Magnolia of New Haven, Connecticut and came to New Orleans from thence to New Haven and made several voyages in that employ the firms then of Meyers, Hotchkip and Forties and from the kind usage which I received from the Americans I made New Haven my home for life. I also made some voyages in Schooner Smith with Captain Henry Bush and in the Schooner Baltimore, Captain George Auger also in Barque Panthea Captain Monthope and Brig Industry Captain Owen, also Brig Blackhawk Captain Dennis Bunnel my Brother by marriage. I was naturalized in New Haven and married Miss Diantha Fitch Bunnel of New Haven, Connecticut in the year 1842, October 28 and on April lst we were blessed with a son, 1844 called Lester Baldwin Forte and in February we were blessed with a daughter, 1846, called Anna Elizabeth Forte. Everything went well with me until July 1846. I took it in my head, like a great many others, to go and seek my fortune in the gold regions of Columbia in a smuggling vessel to the coast of Saint Martha and after a severe contest with our opponents of which I got severely wounded I was taken prisoner at Saint Martha's August 24, 1846 and was imprisoned for ninety-five days. The furst of my imprisonment I was very cruelly treated but in the latter part very kindly used. After I was imprisoned, my friends all deserted me and after I was released and came to the United States it was very hard for me to console with my friends as they took my behavior in another light and up to this day there are many who hold a suspicious opinion about the matter but I think they are wrong but will never force as the old adage is try to make people believe that never had any belief either in God or man. I was afterwards Master of the Columbian Brig Inconstant of Sabanilla and made a voyage in her afterwards condemned her at the Island of Grand Caymans in the West Indies and having sailed out of Mobile and New Orleans for two years I am now at this time, March 16th 1850, commander of the Schooner Home of New Orleans and owned by E.E. Spearing and Co. of the city of New Orleans of which I have made two voyages to Aramsas(?) and Corpus Christi and am now on my way from Galveston to Attakapas, Louisiana. Chapter 2. In which I shall state many curious little circumstances selective to a sea faring life. Previous to this I met with another very serious trial after being absent for three years I returned to New Haven and arrived at the city August 30, 1849 and in four days from the time of my arrival I had the sad misfortune of following the funeral and corps of my poor deceased sister-in-law Miss Martha Elizabeth Bunnel who died September 3d 1849 in the 20th year of her age of which I will write the few following lines on the next page(.) Blessed ar(e) they who die in the Lord. Lines on the Death of Miss Martha E. Bunnel. - - - - - - - - - - - - Low she lies who blest our eyes Through many a sunny day She may not smile. She will not rise The life hath passed away. Yet there's a world of light beyond Where we neither died nor sleep She is there of whom our souls were fond Then wherefore do we weep. The world of light with joy is bright This is a world of woe Shall we grieve that her soul has taken flight Because we dwell below We have buried her under the mossy sod And one long bright tress we well keep We have only given her back to God Then wherefore do we weep. Written by Edward Forte as a token of his esteem and affection In the next page will also be found a few lines written for a poor grieved Mother in the loss of an only child. For Mrs. Tabor of New Orleans On the death of her only daughter Elizabeth Tabor Adieu sweet Child! Oh, never more Thy jo(y)ous presence shall recall The beauty which the hours were When thou wert near the light of all Nor aught wails the burning tear To soothe the lone and stricken hearted Which still reminds thou art not here We know we feel thous hast departed. And while the Beautiful shall find Her dwelling in the humane heart Fond memori(ies) of thee shall bind To years in mournful radiance do rest Whose farthest light shall still endear The pair to one sad bosom given Whom one sweet hope alone can cheer To meet the lost on earth in heaven.

Edward Forte, Esqr. (Thus are the writings of Edward Forte's Journal.) (F-227d, F-DOC) (A special thanks goes to Henry Lincoln Forte, III for sharing his copy of Edward's journal with us. ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - The second item of significant information from Henry Lincoln Forte III, was an original newspaper clipping from a New Orleans Newspaper which reads as follows: Tehuantepec. Correspondence of the New Orleans Delta. Minatitlan, Sunday, Aug. 1, 1858. Since my arrival here nothing of especial interest has occurred, either in the affairs of the Government or the prosecution of the work upon the "Transit Route." It is reported that there are some two hundred men, principally natives, employed in finishing the road for the "Tehuantepec Company," but for the truth of this report I would not vouch. At this place, (which is some one hundred miles from the seat of the work,) through which all the supplies and laborers, with the exception of the natives, must pass, there are no signs which would lead one to suppose that any work was being done, or even contemplated. ... I anticipate making a trip over the Isthmus in a few days, I shall be prepared in my next letter to give you more complete information. In political affairs everything is perfectly quiet in this part of the country, it being entirely under the control of the Liberal party. This Department is favored with a most excellent Governor, Sr. D. Francisco Zeraga, of whom I cannot speak in too high terms. Capt. EDWARD FORT, a merchant residing here, and late of the United States, was most brutally murdered at his own house, on the 14th of June last, and at the same time robbed, as is supposed, of about two thousand dollars. He received some sixteen or seventeen wounds, either one of which was fatal. Of the authors of the deed as yet no information has been obtained, and little hope exists of bringing the perpetrators to justice. (The article was cut off after one line of a new paragraph, further describing the status of the area the reporting was writing about...presumably the Barbados. Please note, the spelling of Barbados currently leaves out the "oes" ending. Apparently it was spelled Barbadoes in the past, as many old documents, including this journal, spell it that way.) More information of interest on his life is from a scrap book that was in the possession of Clara Forte Corrigan and now belongs to her daughter Libby Swenson of Van Nuys, California. The scrap book contains many newspaper clippings. The following were the ones that applied to Edward Forte. He wrote several poems which were published in newspapers of the day. This one had the following handwritten message on it. "Christmas gift for Mrs. Diantha Forte from Mr. E. Forte." Maiden Worth Her home was but a cottage home, A simple home and small Yet sweetness and affection made It seem a fairy hall; A little taste, a little care, Made humble things appear As though they were translated there From some superior sphere; Her home was but a cottage home, A simple home and small, Yet sweetness and affection made It seem a fairy hall. As sweet the home, so sweet the maid, As graceful and as good; She seemed a lily in the shade, A violet in the bud! She had no worth but maiden worth- A wealth that's little fame; Yet that's the truest gold of earth- The other's but a name! Her home was but a cottage home, A simple home and small, Yet sweetness and affection made It seem a fairy hall. A cheerfulness of soul that threw A smile o'er every task, A willingness, that ever flew To serve, ere one could ask! A something we could wish our own; An humble flow'ret born, To grace in it's degree a throne, Or any rank adorn! Her home was but a cottage home, A simple home, and small, Yet sweetness and affection made It seem a fairy hall! (F-231x) The following poem has handwriting on it that says it was "by E. Forte." TO DIANTHE. The evening star with lingering ray New shines above the trysting-tree, Where oft we've watch'd it fade away And sink beneath the silent sea; When though thy young hand clasp'd in mine, With tearful eye wouldst question me, If, when I saw its glory shine In other climes, I'd think of thee. And I would promise thee to keep Love's vigil's by its trembling light, Or on the land or on the deep, Whene'er it beam'd upon my sight; And often when the billows threw Their arms across my foamy track, That lovely star would fondly woo To thy loved home my spirit back. On India's bright and burning plain, Where fair Italia's breezes sweep, Or proud Athenia's ruined (fanes?) Their watch o'er Grecian glory keep; On many a land, o'er many a sea, When sped my bark to realms afar, My pilgrim heart would turn to thee, While gazing on that lovely star. Years since have flown, and thou hast found Another shrine, another throne, Whereon thy hand hath lightly bound The offerings I had deem'd mine own; But though another claims thy love, Fond memory oft will whisper me Of happy days, when Fancy wove Hope's garlands by the star-lit sea. A couple of his poems above have alluded to his great love for his wife and their falling apart after years, only to Edward's regrets. He was also mentioned in various newspaper clippings, from what paper it is not known. One possible newspaper could have been the (Fob?) THE HERALD as it is listed at the top of one poem. In one a "colored girl" asked to be transported on Captain Forte's ship. When he tried to ascertain her free status and was not satisfied with her answer, he asked her to come back the next day. "He had some doubts as to the propriety of acceding to her request." When she returned on Sunday evening, he became convinced that she was a fugitive. He then went to report her to the authorities. He was accosted on the way by three men who threatened him and wished him to take her to New York. Capt. Forte drew a revolver at which time they tried to bribe him with money. He declined and gave the information he had to the guardhouse where she was lodged to await the application of the owner. I In another, " We are indebted to Captain Fort of the Schr. Agnes H. Ward, at this port, from Nassau, New Providence, for a copy of the Royal Gazette of the 25th ult." And another, "Captain Forte, of the Schooner Agnes H. Ward, this morning placed, or caused to be placed on our table, a noble assortment of pine apples, limes, lemons, etc., all of which we promise duly to discuss.- We presume the Captain has a few more of the same sort left to be disposed of at private sale." The last is from THE DAILY DELTA entitled "Letter from Tehuantepec, Minatitlan, June 2, 1857." "At the request of thirty-one Americans, I beg leave to return to Capt. Edward Forte, of the schooner visitor, and Col. S.W. Pratt, the agent of the Sloo party, their kind thanks and good wishes for the good dinner tendered them on board schooner Visitor on the 26th May, and also for their kindness in offering them a free passage to the United States, while destitute in the town of Minatitlan. They may rest assured their kindness will never be forgotten. The Sloo party which came down on the Visitor were most cordially received by every one here. They brought a very large amount of American gold to drive ahead the work, which was very much needed... The schooner...,Visitor, (will) leave this afternoon for New Orleans." We had the opportunity to visit New Orleans for a day in 1992. I found him listed in the ship registers of New Orleans, Vol. Four, 1841-1850, pg. 146. John Rowlett, schooner, of Baltimore, Md. Built at Baltimore, Md. 1838. 73 88/95 tons; 72 ft. 10 in. by 5 ft. 8 in. One deck, two masts, square stern, billethead. Previously enrolled, No. 135, July 17, 1846, at Baltimore, Md. Vessel mortgaged in favor of Thomas Hooper, Baltimore, Mr. Vessel mortgaged in favor of Thomas Hooper, Baltimore, Md. for $325.00. July 18, 1846. At the end of a long list of registries for this this, we find it was "Registered, No. 120, Dec. 4, 1850 (Wednesday). Owner: James Carter, New Orleans. Master: Edward Forte." Then I checked the New Orleans Commercial Bulletin and found the advertisement for the departure of the ship on that exact same day: "For Chagres, The A 1 coppered and copper fastened schr. John Rowlett, Capt. ______, having nearly all her cargo engaged and going on board, will have immediate dispatch for the above port. For balance of freight or passage, having superior accommodations, apply on board, foot of St. Peter st., Lower Picayune Tier, or to n30. W.S. Brown, 30 Gravier st." (Note that Edward Forte must have been selected to be the master of this ship at the last minute). (F-242 and 243) A map of where this tier was located is numbered F-244 in my files. Libby Swenson also had several family bibles in her possession. One of them included this handwritten inscription in the front: "(For) Master Edward Forte From his Father Edward Forte (Snr?) Learn as soon as possible to be acquainted with the scriptures and practice them in all your ways." June 10th 1854 (It appears to have a very fancy F. signed after the inscription) The bible has an 1851 copyright. (F-314a) Hank Forte also has a family bible with the name Henry L. Forte printed on the cover published in 1868. On the fly leaf is written, "From Libbie, Christmas, 1869." Hank received the bible from his grandfather, Henry L. Forte, before he died.

| 414 | According to Nottingham M.M. records, John was born the 9th month, 18th day in 1736 to John Coppock and Margaret, his wife. One correspondent with Mendenhall states that John married Catherine King before marrying Abigail in 1761. Theosedly had three children named Thomas, Samuel and Jonathan. This has no proof to support it at this point in time. (C-1430) John received a certificate of removal from the E. Nottingham M.M. in Cecil Co., MD on the 26d, 7m, 1777. It stated that he had made amends with the E. Nottingham M.M. several years after marrying out of unity and being disowned for it. It also stated that John currently was living within the "verge" of the Bush River Monthly Meeting in South Carolina when the letter of removal was written. John's will was written July 19, 1801 and proved Aug. 3, 1801. His administrators were (wife) Abigail, Aaron and John (possible sons) Coppock. Purchasers included Joseph Coppock and Joseph Furnas. (C-884, 1301) He is listed on the same page as his son John in the 1800 Newberry Co., SC census records. His household included he and his wife over 45, and one son between age 16 and 26. (C-931, 1057) Of his 9 or 10 children, Aaron, John, Susannah Elleman and Abigail Weeks emigrated to Ohio. (C-1017) | Coppock, John (I14637)

| 415 | According to Odessa Collins, Elizabeth married James C. Smyley instead of her sister. This would not be correct according to her father's will. However, I do highly suspect that this Elizabeth was married to the Thomas Hart who was give7.00 in James's will as all the other gifts of money went to siblings or their spouses in the will. Elizabeth was the only daughter that was not given a monetary gift. The daughters were all supposedly given land, but I suspect that in the administration the brothers bought the land and paid their sisters or their spouses in the transaction. A Mathis family tree has Elizabeth's spouse as Simeon Mathis. They had a daughter named Sarah born in 1820. (E) | Coate, Elizabeth (I336)
|
| 416 | According to Odessa Collins, Gracey married a James Wiley and Elizabeth married James C. Smyley instead. In a transcription of their father's will, however, Gracey is married to James Smyley. The names of the Gracey and James's children ms well with Gracey's family. It is this Gracey and not the Elizabeth who is the d. of Little John, who is married to James Smyley in the area.(E) I have assumed that Gracey died before 1838 when her husband wrote his will that did not include his wife. | Coate, Gracey (I13445)
|
| 417 | According to Odessa Collins, Hannah married John C. Allen. Marilyn gives her spouses name as John Merigu with a marriage in 1795 in Guilford, NC instead. This is not possible as according to her father's bible, she was not born till the yea00. In either case, Hannah listed as "my single daughter", was paid about $950.00 from her father's estate in 1821 and she was listed as Hannah Coate, not under any married name. When she died in 1883, she was surrounded by her eight living children and many friends, loved and praised by many. (C-1914) | Coate, Hannah Beale (I13443)

| 419 | According to one researcher, Gregory Lindsay Simmons, the child of Simon and Hannah Jay is William Jay, b. Aug. 30, 1721 in Hingham, MA. He believes this William to be the William Jay who married Mary Vestal of whom so many American Jaysd. Because our William and Mary Vestal named no children Simon or Hannah and because Hingham, MA is not the correct locality, I am skeptical of this connection at this time. However, Mr. Simmons facts were correct for earlier generations, and this connection should be given serious research. (C-1341) | Joy, Simon (I12819)

| 420 | According to Peter's cemetery stone and Quaker burial records, he was born in Northwich, co. Cheshire, England instead and emigrated with his parents to Pennsylvania in 1713. Peter witnessed several marriages in Chester Co., Pennsylvaniaso witnessed a marriage of Abel Walker-Ann Vale in Warrington Twp., York Co., PA on the 13th d of the 5th month 1773. He was listed as Peter Jr. and was in the relatives column.... more in a position of cousin or uncle. (C-944, 2418b) | Cook, Peter Jr. (I11386)

| 421 | According to research for Robbie Landry, this Rachel married a Coates, but the family hasn't been able to find which one. I'm taking a really big guess here, but I think there is a possibility that this is the Rachel married to Williamn the Newberry, SC records. The Coates and Coles have multiple documents that have either confused the two families together or they are actually one and the same family because the t is not crossed in some Coate documents and the L is crossed in some Cole documents. They also lived near each other and witnessed some of each other's deeds or wills. William Cole had a wife named Rachel of unknown surname. He was the son of John Cole. | O'Neal, Rachel (I5221)

| 423 | According to Sion's children's census records, Sion was born in Virginia. This Sion is often listed as being born in 1742. However, the Sion in Kershaw Co. in the census records through 1820 is consistently given with a birth date ofn 1756 and 1774, making him a generation older than is often stated. This is supported by the fact that he called for the education of his 3 youngest children (like their older siblings) in his will in 1830. If he had been born in 1742, he would be 88 and have youngsters in the house. That's not nearly as likely as if he was in his 60's. He, therefore, does not fit with the parents, etc, also stated for him. It is Beverly Burton's theory that he is the son of Joseph. That is the one verified person in the Orangeburgh area at the time that is the right age to be his father. He is in the Kershaw Co., SC census records as being the right age in the right place where his possible siblings lived. In the 1820 census, he lived within a dozen houses or so of his possible brothers, Joseph, Lemuel and David. Sion is in the following county court records in Kershaw Co., SC: 1785, purchases land in Camden District; 1790, Belton Vs. Sion Coats; 8/7/1794 Grand Jury; 1795, Witnesses James Perry's Deed; 5/7/1798, Appraiser of Estate of John Dixon; 8/9/1799 Grand Jury. In the 1820 census for Kershaw Co., SC, his household consists of 2 males under age 10, 1 between 10 and 15, and he is above age 45. There are 3 females under age 10, 1 from 10-15, and his wife is between the ages of 26 and 44. Note that one of the sons ages does not match his cemetery stone's birth date according to this census record. To me this suggests that son John's birthdate on his cemetery stone was a little too early and not accurately known. Sion is said to have married two Perry sisters, but according to thorough first hand research by James Fort of Canada, this isn't so. Sarah, sister to Mary Perry, married a Jesse Tillman instead. All that we know for certain at this point is that Sion's first wife was Mary Perry and his second wife was named Sarah with an unknown surname. It should also be noted, that some of his children attributed to him through his first wife, Mary Perry, are more likely children of his second wife by their ages. This is assuming that Mary died before 1801 as is indicated by various researchers. (C-2398, E) Sion and the Perry's are often connected in the records. Sion was a witness to several wills involving Perrys: James Perry of Kershaw Co., SC, Josiah Pery in 1812, James Perry Jr. and Benj. Perry. (C-1796, 1948, E) Sion lived near the Present Lancaster, Chester, York county lines in Flattop section on road that runs "from Liberty Hill to Camden". He is listed in a platt map dated 1826 in Kershaw County bounded by Benjamin and James Long's properties. He left a will in 1830 which was probated in 1832. He left land to all of his sons and many slaves to most all his sons and daughters. His estate must have been of some substance. His wife was named as Sarah. The named children in his will in the order of naming were sons: Sion, Gideon, John, and daughters: Betsey Coates, Jincey Revell, Mary Coates, Rebecca Coates, and Polly Flanigan. His will does not support the fact that he had a son James even though some have connected him with a son James. He provides for the education of his 3 youngest children to be equivalent to what all the rest of his children have been provided with, but does not state which ones they were. He states in his will that his wife Sarah may take care of "her children" as she sees best. This implies that Sarah might have children by another marriage. For some reason, there was a lawsuit about the probate of his estate. After it was settled, Sion, Gideon, Sarah and her infant son Josiah-? all moved to Alabama. (C-2200, 2201) Lastly, I suspect that Sion was married 3 times, first to Mary Perry who died before the 1800 census, 2nd to an Unknown person by whom he had 3 sons and two daughters and then finally Sarah named in his will by whom he had Josiah Coates in the late 1820's. However, this family still does not all fit. We know the sons' ages from cemetery stones, but two of them would have been born between 1800 and 1810. He only has one son listed as being born between those years... and two daughters. In the 1820, the years don't quite match up again. This family is therefore still a puzzlement. | Coats, Sion (I7326)

| 424 | According to some 2nd hand genealogical books in the 19th century, this couple are the parents of the Thomas and George that migrated to the Americas in it's early history. Son George was born in 1615 according to other sources and arrived in Massachusetts in 1639. I descend from son George, but see no good evidence in these early genealogies that George is the son of Fabyan Farley and Jane Hungerford. George is also listed as the son of Thomas or Roger married to a Jane Hungerford whom are also descendants of this Reginald and Barbara Farley. | Farley, Fabyan (I9791)

| 425 | According to the "A Brief History of Bishop Jacob Mast and Other Mast Pioneers" by C.Z. Mast published in 1911, "The following record of their emigration is in evidence, Harrisburg, Penna, March 13, 1911"To whom it may concern I hereby cerhat the above is a true tracing of the above names as written on the original Immigration List ship, Brotherhood, Captain, John Thomason. Date, Nov 3, 1750. Sailed from Rotterdam and last from Cowes, and arrived at Philadelphia. Now on file in Division of Public Records, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.(signed) Luther R KelkerCustodian of the Public Records of the Pennsylvania State Library. (The seal of the Department of the State Public Records is affixed to the document) The party had sailed from Rotterdam in the ship Brotherhood, John Thompson, Captain, landing in Philadelphia, PA, on Nov 3, 1750." They selected their home near the site of the Blue Mountains, northwest of Philadelphia near present day Reading, Pennsylvania. Their farm was near the Schuylkill River between Irish Creek and Northkill. All other early Amish Mennonites formed their first settlement in America at this place, which was known for nearly a century as the "Northkill congregation." "The early members had located in Heidelberg, Lower Heidelbeg, North Heidleberg, PA, Bern, Upper Bern, Center, Upper Tulpehocken and Jefferson townships, Berks Co, Pennsylvania The majority lived near where the Masts originally established their farm." Because of the French and Indian Wars, "from 1754 to 1764 and even at a later period the settlement was exposed and almost exterminated by the torch, hatchet and scalping knife of the savages, and their midnight assault and slaughter. Hundreds fell victims to the relentlessly cruel savages, along the Blue Mountains south and north of it, and along the Susquehenna." Because of the Indian danger, the Masts and other Amish Mennonite (Anabaptist) settlers removed to near present day Morgantown in Berks Co., PA, in the Conestoga Valley. According to an article in the "Independent" in the 1970's, he settled in what is now Elverston, Pennsylvania. (C-2537) "A warrant was granted to Bishop Jacob Mast and a certain John Holly (relative of his wife?), Nov 19, 1764, and the latter on Apr 13, 1769 lawfully discharged all the rights and half part of land to the former. The tract contained 170 acres and an allowance of six per cent for roads which was situated partly in the counties of Berks and Chester. It was purchased from Samuel Martin of Tredyfrin township, Chester Co, PA, for L325. On this tract of land Bishop Jacob Mast erected a comfortable log farm house, close to a lusty spring which flows directly from a stratum of limeless sandstone." He provided public service to the Revolution in Pennsylvania. (C-458, p. 1918) He was the 2nd Amish Mennonite Bishop in America. In 1786, he was serving Berks, Chester and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania (C-873, 2251e) "Masts, A Brief History" states that he lived in Lancaster County, PA after Berks Co. His death and burial are listed in various places: Pine Grove Cemetery, Caernarvon Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania; Pine Grove Cemetery, Champaine Co., OH; or Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. He and 3 of his unnamed sisters are supposedly buried near each other. The account in C.Z. Mast's 1911 book states: "In the year 1808 he gave up the wonderfully busy life when in the same year his neighbors carried his body out of his old home and buried it in a quiet spot on the broad acres he had tended and loved. His grave is marked with a carved sandstone bearing inscription near the Northwest corner of the wall of what is known as Pine Grove Cemetery. His wife, Magdalene Holly, died Oct 26, 1820, aged 80 years, and is buried by his side." There is a Jacob Mast living in Cocalico Twp., Berks Co., PA in 1751 and 1753 according to deed records there. This is a township on the North Border of Berks Co., Pennsylvania. (C-2414) | Mast, Bishop Jacob (I11096)

| 426 | According to the "Annals of Newberry", her husband, 5 sons and 2 daughters, moved to Miami Valley, OH about 1806. She died some years later and he died after her living on the Stillwater in (Miami) County, Ohio. To me, her death place ofrick Co., VA from other sources could be off. | Wright, Elizabeth (I7113)

| 427 | According to the "Annals of Newberry", the Coles settled in a Baptist settlement on Bush River and Little River. John Cole, Sr was the Third Pastor of the Bush River Church where he served for 35 years. He "died full of years and piousness, in 1816." {The Annals of Newberry page 144} John Sr. in the 1800 census is listed on page 72 along with a John (Jr.) in Newberry Co., South Carolina. Sr. was over age 45 along with his wife. They had 1 son living with them between the ages of 16 and 26 and 9 slaves. I have estimated that they were married before 1768 from having one son left at least age 16 and having at least 8 children mentioned in his will. That gives an approximation of having their first child about 32 years previous to 1800. He left an extensive will in 1808 in Newberry Co., SC where he names children and grandchildren. When he mentions his grandchildren by son William, he also gives a share to his daughter-in-law, Rachel who has remarried a Providence Williams. "One share to son Wm. Cole's Children when they reach 18 yrs. To Rachel Williams 5 shillings." It should be noted that one of his grandchildren, Katy Cole, does not have the t crossed in her name. This is a note in case the same misspelling was used for the name Cole (Cote?) throughout the document. (C-2052) His wife, Mary, could still be living in 1829 when she deeds land. It should be noted that the index to his estate papers lists him as John Cote. It has been conjectured that the Coles were Cotes in the area, and this estate is one example leading to that conclusion. The following is information shared by a Cole researcher named Dobie, from the email address: Obie01@aol.com. "South Carolina Baptists 1670-1805 by Townsend; John Cole Sr licensed in 1787 and ordained in 1783 by Rev. Messrs. Joseph Burson and John Webb of Fair Forest at the church that came to be known as Coles Meeting House. William Cole was also ordained during this time.

| 428 | According to the 1920 census records for Mike Perilla, she was listed as his wife, Ella who emigrated in 1910. Mike, her husband, emigrated in 1908 previous to her. With this clue, I was able to find her entrance into this country on, 1910 through Ellis Island. Her place of residence is listed as Neviczke, (Ungvar) Hungary. She was 25 years of age, a female (transcribed with the name of Veron Perilla), married, embarking from Carnaro, Triest, Austria and arriving here on the Carpathia. Ungvar (District), Hungary was to become Uzhorod, Czechoslovakia and currently is named Uzhhorod in the Ukraine. She is listed as Hungarian by nationality and Slovak by race. She was 4' 10" tall with brown hair and blue eyes. Her father Mihaly Wocsik was a resident of Nevicske, Hungary in 1910. She is in three immigration records. She left Neviczke and traveled to Port of Fiume in Yugoslavia where she took the ship called Pannonia to New York City arriving on Sep. 11, 1905. Her destination is listed as Elk County, Box 20 Arroyo, Pennsylvania. Her name is spelled Veorn (should have been translated as Veron) Vovcsik in the 1905 immigration record and she is listed at age 19. She was going to stay with Joseph Kacsik of Oil City, Pennsylvania. (D-222) Juliana, Joe Kacsik's wife, was a sister to Veron. Veronica named her youngest daughter after her sister Juliana. Veorn left the US in 1908 on the Carpathia Manifest and returned from Nevicske by way of Port of Fiume, Yugoslavia on the Carpathia which arrived in New York City on Oct. 5, 1910. This time her destination was to meet up with her husband in Limestone, New York. | Vovcsik, Veronica Ella (I15235)

| 429 | According to the 1930 census, Michael emigrated to the US in 1900. He was a naturalized citizen who could speak English. He was a boilermaker for the railroad shop by trade who was employed in the last year. He was not a veteran of the U.S. military. His wife immigrated in 1904, was naturalized but could not speak English. They owned their home worth $4000.00. The age at their first marriages was listed as 23 and 21 respectively. | Di Fuccia, Michael (I8899)

| 430 | According to the census records, John and Ella moved to Michigan between 1921 and 1925 where their 3rd son was born in Michigan. In the 1920 census, he was listed as a machinist. The 1930 census states that German was spoken in his homre he came to America, but the 1920 census states that Slovak was spoken by both he and his wife. He is listed as a toolmaker in the 1930 census for an Auto Plant. His home was worth $6500.00 at that point in time which was nearly the most expensive home on that census page. Some homes were valued as low as $40.00 and 2 were listed at $7000.00. | Lasko, John (I11173)

| 431 | According to the christening record of Michael Kacsmar on Oct. 20, 1869, in Koprivnica, Slovakia, his parents were Juraj Kacsmar and Ann Kuchar. Family tradition says that blonde haired Michael was a sheepherder in the old country and brunette haired Susan (Mary) Hruskovic was a cook for 30 people. These two met when they lived on either side of the border. (What border it is not known.) They were married in Austria and had two children, Mary and Anna, before they came to America (D-18). </line><line /><line>According to their daughter, Sue Irene, they were Slovaks although her father might have been German (D-18). Michael came over first to America, got a job, and then sent for his family. He might have been the Michael Kacsmar who arrived on the Pennland from the Port of Antwerp on July 3, 1893. The Ellis Island records state that he was 24, married, from Koprivnica, Hungary. He was a workman who could not read or write and whose destination was Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania. According to his daughter Mary's 1930 census record, his family emmigrated in 1896. (D-18, 74, EL). </line><line /><line>Michael was employed in many different capacities. He supposedly came to America for work as a lumber jack. He is listed as a laborer and dye maker in his daughters' marriage certificates. He worked largely in chemical factories according to daughter, Katie. He and most of his sons might have worked in the charcoal plant in Custer City, Pennsylvania. He and his family moved a lot because he was a teamster of horses. He was a roustabout and pumper for independent producers of oil and a gardener at the end of his life. (D-57,73) He became a U.S. citizen June 2, 1903 (D-53, 95). He made his own beer and snuff (out of 5 Brothers Tobacco). According to his grandson, John Dudick, the beer was quite good - without bitter aftertaste. (D-73) His granddaughter, Shirley Augustine, remembers that he also made great pigs feet. Granddaughter, Betty Helbert, adds that he loved and ate great quantities of salt pork and butter on his bread. He use to stoke up the wood stove in the living room until it was real hot and then sit right in front of it. He also made wagon tongues and handles for his tools. (D-152) In 1919, when their daughter Susan Kutchmire married, they signed the marriage application with an X meaning that they could not write. He is probably the Mike Katchmire in the 1920 census. He is listed as married, but living with Andrew and Helen Polcha in Luzerne Co., Pennsylvania. His age was estimated as being born in 1874/5 by the person giving info to the census taker. He and his parents were listed as being born in Czechoslovakia. </line><line /><line>In the 1930 census for Bradford Twp., McKean Co., PA, it states that he, his wife and both their parents were born in what was currently called Czechoslovakia. He and his wife were supposedly both age 58. He was 28 when they married and she was only 17. If you do the math on what we know of this family, their ages and marriage ages are both off. The language spoken in the home was Slovak. He emigrated in 1893 and she in 1895. It's hard to tell if he had become a U.S. citizen, but his wife definitely had not. They rented their home. It's contents were worth $8.00. He was listed as a laborer for all jobs. Susan, his wife, was a midwife. She, herself, had 8 children as well as 4 other stillborn children. Our older relatives remembered her stuffed cabbage that "was out of this world." (D-74) Granddaughter Betty Helbert recollected that she made aprons and dust caps and had her grandchildren go to the neighbors to sell them. She raised two of Betty's siblings, Pat and Margaret Ross, after Betty's mother died. (D-152) Residences: Backus, PA (D-57) (Their children went to school in Backus).

This family included siblings named John Kacmar, b. 1890, Mary Motichka and possibly Andrew. (D-168) They could have lived in Dunmore at the same time as Michael Kacmar.

| 432 | According to the Lamont-Young DNA research project, Andrew was born in 1646 in Danoon, Scotland. Andrew was born a Lamont. When his father and all of the adult male Lamont's were taken prisoner, torchured and killed, his mother escaped with 4 young sons going to Ireland. Each son took a different surname to stay safe. This Andrew's descendants YDNA does match other Lamont descendants adding substance to this history of Ireland. Since I have many DNA autosomal triangulations with descendants of this Andrew Young and Mary Adair, it supports my James Young descending from this Andrew Young. Andrew was likely to have had many other children. Persons of the same surname and similar age to his likely son John in the Carmony Church Records in co. Antrim were: Robert, Matthew and Charles. He and his brother John (Lamont) Stitlington, farmed and were linen manufacturers on the Larne River in Antrim Co., North Ireland. His home built in the 1700's is beautifully restored and lived in in the townland of Ballygowan, Parish of Raloo, Antrim Co., Northern Ireland. A photo of his home can be found at http://www.lamont-young.com/showphoto.php?photoID=8 person ID= ;tree=; ordernum=1; page=1. According to an attorney/genealogist, son John never came to the U.S. He also died intestate and had a brother James (closest Kin) administer his estate. This tells us that John had no children living after his death. In other words, persons in the U.S. descended from Andrew, descended from other children of Andrew Lamont and Mary Adair. | Young, Andrew Lamont (BigY: R-Y19360 line born about 860 CE) (I8132)

| 433 | According to the obituary for his son James, his parents names were Dominic and Carmella and he was a member of the St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church. His name would have originally been likely spelled Domenico in Italy. I have not been able to find any close match to he or his wife in the U.S. census or Ellis Island records. The surname is also highly likely not to be Defucci or De Fucci or Difucci but Fucci. I state this because there were 412 immigrants through Ellis Island with the last name of Fucci but none under the spellings previously mentioned. (G-5) Searching on Fucci instead, I have a promising match that could be the parents of James Vincent Fucci, as they live in Meadville City, Crawford Co., Pennsylvania and they have a son James whom is of the correct age to represent this family. However, their names aren't anywhere near the supposed names of Jame's parents. Since his wife's father is also named Dominic, this might be an error in the person who gave the information for James Vincent's obituary. The Fucci's in the 1910 census for Meadville City are Mike and Pasqua Fucci, age 35 and 33 respectively, born in Italy. They have sons James, Jose and Tony born in Pennsylvania at ages 6, 5 and 2 respectively and daughters, Lily and Mary, ages 15 and 4. Lily was the only child in the list born in Italy. Starting with James, their children were born in Pennsylvania. His year of emigration was 1900 and hers was 1901. Daughter Lily came over in 1902. This is the only family in all of Pennsylvania and New York that have a son named James and he happens to live where James Vincent lived as an adult and is of the correct age. If this is James Vincent's actual family, then here are the members of his family in the 1930 census. Mike Fucci age 57, Ethel Fucci age 46, Rosie Fucci age 14, Charles Fucci age 13, Mike Fucci age 12, Vera Fucci age10, and Francis Fucci 3. There is a Tomasso Componile, Franjco Corlione, and Fabio Alberica, all age 26, who arrived in Ellis Island in 1903 who were brother in laws to a Dominic Di Fuccio in New York. In 1904, Dominic Di Fuccia came to America. He was going to his cousin, Dominic Ricciard in New York. He was listed as married. He was from Marcianise, Italy. | Di Fuccio, Dominic (I8889)

| 434 | According to the Visitations of Berkshire, John left no legitimate children. He died in 1564. This is a significant statement as it was used nowhere else in the pedigree. It was a remembered fact in 1602 and shows a cautionary tale of the loss of his lands at his death that went to his younger brother, Henry, instead of any illegitimate children. This family accounts for the most likely ancestors of our Mary Norris because her last location in England was Newbury, England according to her marriage record. This was only 7 miles from Yattenden Castle. The biggest clue to help us was with her line is her many triangulated DNA matches with descendants of John Norris, b. 1617 of England, Bermuda, Mass. (in 1635) and Suffolk, NY. The only John in all of England baptized in 1617/1618 traces back to the John whom I am theorizing was the illegitimate son of this John Norris. It fits by time. Sir John also fits by place because he was the heir of Yattenden Castle as the oldest son of Edward. This was one of his residences at the time. Then too, the only baptismal record for a Mary Norris anywhere near where she said she lived was 50 miles away in Bedfordshire, England. It occurred earlier than people were predicting, but still in alignment with child bearing ages. Her father would have been Richard. In Richard's baptismal record, his father's first name is John. In John's baptismal record, his father's first name is not listed. This supports John being illegitimate also. Therefore, it is my theory that the John Norris whose baptismal record can't be located was the likely illegitimate son of this John Norris. Baptismal and some marriage records prove each of this John's descendants down to John of Mass. and NY as well as down to Mary Norris of Plymouth making sense of the DNA matches for these early Norris American colonists connection. | Norris, Sir John (I9897)

| 436 | According to Wikipedia: "Patrick Calhoun (11 June 1727– 15 January 1796), [1]:32 was born in County Donegal, Ireland, but emigrated to Virginia with his parents in 1733, and from there the family made their way to South Carolina. According to A Compendium of Irish Biography (1878):[2] He and his family suffered severely during the war with the French and the Indians. Shortly after the peace of 1763 he was elected a member of the provincial legislature, and continued a member of that and afterwards of the state legislature (with the intermission of a single term) till his death in 1796. In the war of the Revolution he took an early, decided, and active part against the British. His son John Caldwell Calhoun (born in South Carolina in 1782, died in Washington on March 31, 1850) was Vice-President of the United States from 1825 to 1832, and held other important offices, and was undoubtedly the ablest and most uncompromising champion of slavery and the slave power in his day." Patrick had 149 acres being surveyed where he lived on Reed Creek in 1748 in Augusta Co., VA. That is the same creek where his father, James and his brother William bought land. vol25no10pp147_155_462179.pdf as provided Candee V. After Braddock's defeat in 1655, he moved to Abbeville, SC along with his family. On Aug. 19, 1765, James Buchanan and William Thompson, executors of James Patton, conveyed 322 acres of land in Augusta Co., Virginia to Patrick Calhoun then of South Carolina the land he originally lived on in Augusta Co., Virginia. On Oct. 16, 1765, Patrick Calhoun sold 610 acres of land on Reed Creek in Augusta Co., VA to Hugh Montgomery (his possible cousin through his grandmother, Catherine Montgomery).Patrick was listed as of the settlement of Long Cane Creek in Granville Co., SC in this sale of land. is the grandfather of the statesmen, John C. Calhoun. He was appointed by the Provincial Government to head a group of rangers to protect the frontier during the Revolutionary War. They had to fight both the Indians and the Tories. This Patrick is the father of the statesman John C. Calhoun, though he is not listed as the son of James and Catherine Montgomery Calhoun in "Colonial Families of the U.S.". | Calhoun, Patrick E- FTA41789 (I9486)

| 438 | Adam was one of the last surviving immigrants who came on the "Welcome" in 1682. In 1693 he sued Tomas Wynne, who died during the process. He had a survey of his land near Christiana Creek made on Oct. 31, 1719. He was called to testifyhalf of Lord Baltimore when the Maryland boundaries were being decided in court. At an estimated date of 1731, Adam stated that his age was 78 at the time and recalled questions pertaining to 1682, 1684 and 1685. He supposedly lived for 49 years in New Castle Co., (Del or MD) If his birthday of 1666 is correct, then the amount of time he had lived in Delaware or his birth date is incorrect in his account to Lord Baltimore as these figures give us his estimated birth date at 1653.

| 443 | After all this time, I believe I finally found Thomas J. Morgan's family. I have a 10.7 cM match on chromosome 8 that matches a cousin who descends from Thomas J. Morgan's brother John, b. 1801 on Gedmatch named EBZ. I know that Margaret's father is Thomas J. Morgan from a near first-hand source. My mother was taught by her mother, of the tragic death of her grandfather. When he was helping to finish the church at Ebenezer by putting on its roof, he fell off and died. They buried him with an elaborate headstone at the corner of the church right where he fell. His was the first burial in that cemetery near Rio Grande. She in turn, showed me this stone as I was growing up and told me the story. I have a photograph of it. Thomas and his wife were born in Wales according to each census they are in. He was a carpenter by trade. He also has a daughter named Margaret Morgan of the right age in the census records. From memory, I had read a newspaper article on him that said he was from Llansanfraed, Cardiganshire, Wales. I have not found any baptismal records for him though that verify this. According to his son Thomas James death certificate, father Thomas J. was born in England and his wife, Elizabeth Rease was born in Wales. There don't seem to be any Morgan's from England in Gallia Co. at the time so I suspect this was in error and the 1850 census that says he's from Wales is the more accurate first hand information. Thomas Morgan likely is the Thomas who arrived in Philadelphia from Wales when he was 21 on the Brig Cynosure, National Archives # 425, Film 48, list 148. He was a carpenter by trade even then. Thomas Morgan was living in Gallia County by 1836 when he marries. In the 1840 census, he is on page 16 of Raccoon Twp., Gallia County. He is between the age of 20 and 30 with his wife being in the same age category. They did not yet have any children. He is likely the Thomas Morgan who made purchases 40 acres of land in 1841 and 1843 at the Chillicothe land office in the Ohio River survey, Twp. 6N, Range 19W, Section 8, (SE, NE section) and 6N, Range 16 W and section 9 (SW, SW section) respectively. In the first purchase, he's listed as of Jackson Co., Ohio. In the 2nd, he's listed "of Gallia Co., OH". (CL-581) In a non-population census dated 1850, he owned 25 acres of improved land and 55 acres of unimproved land worth $900.00 in Racoon Twp. When he died, however, the administration of his estate paints a more complete picture. The inventory of his estate shows that his wife, the admin, is selling 5 acres of land for $47.00. They would have had six people in their household when Thomas Sr. died. They had a table, six chairs, six spoons, 4 forks and knives, 1 soup bowl, 1 other bowl, an unspecified amount of clothing, yarn they had made, and sizable amounts of wheat and oats that they likely grew themselves. They also had six hogs and a cow. Can you imagine what life was like? They had been living in Gallia Co., Ohio for 9 or ten years at this point in time. My mother's first cousin had a much more wealthy story as to Margaret's parentage. She believes that Margaret's father was related to the wealthy banking line of Morgans. According to her, her father disowned her when she married a man who had been married previously in a "shot-gun" wedding. (Note: The only way this story fits, is that it would have been her Father-in-law, David E. Phillips, who disowned her. Margaret's real father died in the roof accident when she was just eleven.) As a young girl, my mother's cousin remembers a very rich lady from Wales, a "great aunt", visiting them in a fancy horse drawn carriage with fringe on top. I am including my mother's cousin's story, in case in some way, it too ties into the family tree although I have not been able to find any fit into the the Morgan banking line through actual records. Perhaps the money that our cousin remembers being in the family came from the line that founded the American Hereford breeds. George F. Morgan became wealthy by bringing Hereford cattle to America from his home of Madley, Herefordshire, England. He was born in 1846 to George Fredrick Morgan, Sr. and Catherine Powell. He had a brother named Thomas J. Morgan. This brother could have been named after a grandfather or uncle and easily be related to the Thomas J. Morgan living in Ohio by 1840. (CL-237) As to Thomas's parents, they are theory. After a complete search of Welsh records at Freereg.org, here are his possible parents:The following marriage record would be with 20 miles of Llansanfraid/Llansanfraed and accounts for naming patterns in this family.

Samuel has 2 sons age 0-5, 1 son age 20-30, and himself at age 50-60 with females, 3 at 0-5, 1 at 5-10, 1 at 10-15, 1 at 15-20, and 1 at 30-40. (CL-41) He was paying chattle taxes in Gallia Co., OH by at least 1824. He was also in the 1820 census, Greenfield Twp., Gallia Co., OH with 1 male and 4 females under age 10, 1 male between age 10-16 and he and his wife were between the ages of 26 and 45. (CL-592) In 1824 there was also an Elizabeth Morgan paying taxes in Greenfield Twp., Gallia Co., OH suggesting that she was widowed and could account for his mother or grandmother instead. One of Samuel or possibly Elizabeth's likely sons is John C. MORGAN, b. 21 Feb 1811, Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire, Wales, who d. 21 Dec 1895, Greenfield Township, Gallia, Ohio. He again is the correct age to be a brother to our Thomas J. Morgan. There was a John Morgan, from Wales, age 65 living in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., OH in 1850. He was probably the same John Morgan who was paying Chattel taxes by 1824 in Addison Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. He could be Thomas J.'s father instead. There is another possible brother named David J. Morgan who was naturalized on June 20, 1872 in Gallia Co., Ohio from Wales. (CL-163b) The following Morgans, of similar peerage or older are in the death records for Gallia Co., OH: Catherine Morgan b. abt. 1789, Wales, d. 2/15/1871 in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., OH; Catherine C.

Marriage records for Gallia Co. also list possible siblings to Thomas J. Morgan. A Rosina Morgan married Hustin Hopshire on 9/23/1829. Nancy Morgan married Robert Stewart on 10/13/1831. Elizabeth Morgan married Samuel Matthews on 1/1/1833. Benjamin Morgan married Lucinda Myers on 8/13/1833. William Morgan married Nancy McDaniel on 1/25/1838. Brina Morgan married John J. Davis on 9/6/1839. David Morgan married Catherine Davis on 9/4/1846. Lastly, John J. Morgan married Margaret Jones on 3/26/1850. There is a Thomas J. Morgan in Youngstown, Ohio. His father was William T. Morgan and his grandfather was Thomas Morgan (1795-1878) of Wales. (CL-362) There is a Thomas Morgan living within a page of our Thomas Morgan in the 1840 Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio census records who was between age 30-40 with a wife the same age and multiple children. A possible brother or cousin to our Thomas J. Morgan is a David J. Morgan that arrived from Wales in Aug. 1841 and was naturalized on June 20, 1872 in Gallia County, Ohio. (CL-163b) This David J. Morgan was listed as the same age as our Thomas J. or L. Morgan, of 38 years in the 1850 census living in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio, the same twp. as our Thomas J. Morgan. In the 1860 census, David L. Morgan, age 48, is living within five houses of Thomas J. Morgan's widow's new husband and family in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH, p. 234, suggesting a relative relationship. (CL-356, 563) Another David Morgan married Jane Roach on Dec. 5, 1831 in Jackson Co., Ohio which adjoins Gallia. (CL-310) There was a Daniel S. Morgan also living in Raccoon Twp. in 1850 of age 30 from Wales that could be another brother or relative. (CL-356) There was a Daniel T. Morgan and wife of Bufabw Mawrth or Mlywydd, Oed, Wales whose wife died in 1874 and was born about 1821. She was buried at Hill Cemetery, Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-88) There is a Richard Morgan, age 26, in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1850 census. (CL-356) There was a John G. Morgan, native of Wales, who was born circa 1810 who was buried in Bethel Cemetery in Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio at age 84 years, 10 months on Dec. 21, 1895. His wife was Catherine C. (CL-368) Any of these Morgans were of an appropriate age to be brothers or cousins to our Thomas J. Morgan. An Ancestry Family Tree states that his father was Edward J. Morgan of Wales, but no proof is given. As for Thomas and Elizabeth's children, these are possible but totally unproven spouses for them. The information is from the Mormon Church I.G.I. files for Ohio. (CL-183) An Edward Morgan married Orphy E. Thomas on 15 May 1877 in Gallia Co., Ohio. A Barbara E. married James H. Williams on Nov 10 1871 in Gallia Co., OH and a Barbary Morgan married Henry Bevington on Nov. 2, 1876 in Wayne Co., Ohio. I believe this second marriage to be correct because in the 1880 census there is a Henry Bevington married to a Barbara of the correct age born in Ohio, still living in Wayne Co., Ohio. (CL-183,265) After Thomas died, Elizabeth Reese Morgan married David Phillips on 5-11-1855. (CL-258) He apparently had been married before as there are two children listed in the 1860 census in close range to Elizabeth's children. She also had more children with David Phillips: Elizabeth A. and Allica Phillips according to David Phillips family bible. (CL-Doc, 26) | Morgan, Thomas J. * (I10852)
