| 509 | From granddaughter Lari Siegel: Information for Sam Siegel is sketchy at best. He was born 1895 in Moinesti, Romania. On the marriage license, he lists his parents as Luis Siegel and Ida Botler. Mel of course, insisted his paternal grandparents were Edith Sugarman and Kalman Segal. Again, this contradicts the other primary sources. Moinesti was a small town the size of Amenia, New York. Now, if you've been paying attention, and I know that you have, that's small. If you wanted action, you had to go to Pietra Neamt. Whoever Mel's paternal grandparents were, they supposedly died in the great flu pandemic. The Segals probably arrived in New York between 1912 and 1915. Sam had several siblings and somewhere along the way, they changed their name from Segal to Siegel. Sam, who worked as an iron worker, was drafted and served in the Great War where he was injured in France. A survey of American Jews who served in the war states he held the rank of First Class Private, entering the Army October 1917. He was a machine gunner for 11 months in the Toul Sector, St. Mihiel, and the Muse Argonne. He was wounded in the right leg October 7, 1918 and was sent to the American Hospital Base 26. Between the shooting and ducking Sam found time to collect coins. Married life was bumpy for Goldie and Sam and this is how Mel learned Yiddish. For you never shout in front of the children but if you have to, do it in a foreign language. September 1926, found the Siegels with another son, Jerome. Trust me, I wish he was THE Jerry Siegel from Cleveland who co-created Superman. But, it was not to be. This Jerry Siegel grew up, had two kids, lived in Queens, smoked cigars, and worked in the rag business in New York. | SIEGEL, Sam (Shlomo) (I2955)

| 510 | From Graves Family History: In 1870, Catherine and Edward lived in Columbus, IN, next door to Catherine's aunt Mary (Graves) McFall. They had 3 daughters then. In the 1880 census, Catherine was shown as divorced, head of household, with 3 of her 4 daughters and 2 sons with her. The oldest daughter Jennie or Janie was living with her grandmother Jane (McKibbon) Graves. | Family: STEWART, Edward C / GRAVES, Catharine (F3555)
|
| 511 | From Graves family history: William M. Greaves or Graves (4) was born 23 Dec. 1800 in Ohio, the year his parents settled in Zanesville, Muskingum Co., OH, and died 23 Dec. 1875. His middle name may have been Mode. He was about 24 years old when he moved to Indiana with his parents, brothers and sisters. He was a carpenter, according to the census records. William helped to establish and train at least 2 of his sons-in-law in the carpenter trade, and it is said that he and his son-in-law, Edward Stewart, worked together as carpenters. Edward Stewart was born in 1842 in Pennsylvania. His name is also spelled Stewert and Steward, but Stewart seems to be the way the name was spelled on the gravestones of the family. Edward was a carpenter, and is said to have worked with his father-in-law William M. Graves. If so, he would also have worked with Mrs. Botkin's ancestor, George Walter Riddle, who married Catherine's niece. What searching has been done indicates that Edward probably moved to Indianapolis after the divorce. | STEWART, Edward C (I4678)

| 512 | From Hamilton College website: Rushmore Rowley Valentine, Jr. '51 Rushmore Rowley Valentine, Jr. '51, a former geologist, was born on February 12, 1927, to Rushmore R. '19, an accountant, and Adelaide Jones Valentine, in Brooklyn, NY. He was a nephew of Harvey H. '25 and Joseph C. Valentine '25. Young Rushmore grew up on Long Island, where he was graduated from Friends Academy in Locust Valley. He followed his father and uncles to College Hill in 1947, after serving in the U.S. Army Air Force during the final months and aftermath of World War II. He joined their fraternity, Delta Upsilon, before leaving the Hill after three semesters at the end of 1948. Rushmore Valentine, who later attended Columbia University, "traveled the world in his early career as a geologist," according to his newspaper obituary. He was with Cities Service Petroleum Co. in Bogota, Colombia, when the College heard from him in 1956. He later settled in the Rochester, NY, area, where he was employed for 25 years by Rochester Products, manufacturers of containers and fuel injection systems, until his retirement in 1992. The College has only recently learned of Rushmore R. Valentine, Jr.'s death on December 30, 2005. Predeceased by his wife, Nancy B. Valentine, he was survived by two daughters, Beth Quattrociocchi and Susan Schultz, and three grandchildren and a sister. | VALENTINE, Rushmore Rowley Junior (I4805)

| 513 | From Hanaford Morning Journal A delightful bit of holiday news, which will come as a complete surprise to the many friends of the bride in this community, is the! announcement of the marriage oi Miss Bernice Inez Ebi, a popular member of the local social set, and Franklin Hugenin Coen, which was an event of the social calendar in Pasadena on New Years Day. The charming and prettily appointed wedding was solemnized at the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Ebi on Monte Vista Heights in the afternoon of January first, Dr. Robert Freeman of the First Presbyterian church of Pasadena officiating at the impressive ring ceremony in the presence of the relatives and a few of the intimate friends of the contracting parties. The rooms of the home were decorated in full keeping of the season, the dull greens and reds of the holidays making an effective setting for the bridal party. The bride, who is the diminutive and attractive daughter of Mr, and Mrs. J. A. Ebi, long time respected residents of this city, wore a modish and becoming afternoon frock of flesh colored georgette and carried a shower bouquet of brides roses. Her sole attendant was her cousin, Miss Vivian Ebi of Hollister, who wore a frock of harmonizing color, and also carried a shower of blossoms. Earl Ebi, the brother of the bride, attended the groom as best man. The couple will reside Bakersfield for a few months, later returning to Pasadena, where they will reside. During her residence in this city the bride has been one of the popular young girls of the community, whose charm of personality has surrounded her with a large circle of friends who will join in extending their hearty felicitations upon her marriage, although regretting that the marriage will take her into another city. She is a graduate of the local schools and completing her course at Hanford high entered the Fresno state teachers college, where she was a member of the Psi Chi Iota sorority, and from which she graduated with the class of 1927. Mr. Coen is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Coen of Roseburg, Oregon, where at the present time Mr. Coen, Sr., heads the Coen Lumber Mills. The latter is a former realtor who developed the city of Monrovia. Mr. Coen, Jr., attended preparatory school in Monrovia and later was graduated from Stanford University in the class of 1924. lie is a member of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity and at the present time holds the position of sales manager for the Super-Made Aluminum Company, with headquarters in Bakersfield.

|
| 516 | From his daughter, Marcelle Pollakoff London: "In the Jewish religion, birthdays are (referred to as) so many days before or after, or in between, a holiday. So (Uncle Izzy's) fell on Valentine's Day one year, so that's the one he picked! "He enjoyed being with people. He had all kinds of jokes to tell people. He was crazy about his granddaughter (Sue London). "He came to the US because he didn't want to be a rabbi in Russia." Izzy's niece, Ruth Sheinaus Asimov (daughter of Izzy’s younger sister Nettie) called her uncle "friendly." Ruth's daughter, Nanette Asimov, also remembers him that way. In her 1914 letters to fiance Louis Sheinaus, Nettie Pollakoff refers to her brother as Isidore, not Isaac. But Izzy's daughter, Marcelle London, identified him as Isaac on his death certificate, and he is Isaac on census records. Izzy also spelled his last name with one “l,” Polakoff. Others in the family spelled it with two, “Pollakoff,” which is how it appears on the grave of his mother, Esther Pollakoff. | POLLAKOFF, Isaac (Izzy) (I771)
|
| 517 | From his widow’s obituary: She subsequently married William M. Valentine, of Roslyn, and lived there until his untimely death. He was assaulted by two negroes on his own lawn while returning from business and died some time later from his injuries. | VALENTINE, William M (I4387)

|
| 519 | From History of Jackson Michigan: George Byrne settled in Jackson in 1838. He was elected register of deeds in 1840, and served two years. He also served very acceptably as justice of the peace for several years. His son, Gilbert R. Byrne, has been in the banking-house of Cooper, Thompson & Co., and with the Jackson City Bank for many years. He is now assistant cashier of the last-named institution. From A Modern History of Windham County Connecticut: Page 582: “First Baptist Church, WIllimantic… a number of bretheren met in council at the house of Elder Chester Tilden on Thursday, the 20th of October, 1827…. Brethren:…George Byrnes…Records of December 11, 1827, show that the first clerk of the church was George Byrnes.” | BYRNE, George (I341)
|
| 520 | From history of Jones family: His father-in-law, John Hewlett, a large landholder at East Woods (now Woodbury), in the town of Oyster Bay, near the Suffolk Co. line, was a justice of the peace, and, having sworn allegiance to the King, and being forty-five years of age, refused to take arms on either side. This was treated by the supporters of Congress as excusable, and he was not harshly dealt with, nor were the Quakers, which some members of the family joined. There were many Quakers in the town located between the Royalists on the west, and the supporters of Congress on the east. The Hewlett family was numerous ; an early George on L. I. in 1668 had four sons, who all left descendants, including George and the first John, living in 1683, whose son John, b. 1703, m. Hannah, dau. of 2d Col. John Jackson, and was the father of the third John Hewlett, the justice above mentioned. The mother of the justice being a Jackson, he doubtless was befriended by that large family. Capt. Richard Hewlett, son of Daniel, who had served in the French war, supported the English government. He became Colonel, Qr. Master, and Commissary, was active on L. I. during the war, and assumed the right to order the local militia or English subordinates. He or his captn. gave some orders to this John Jones (TIL 12) which required acts that were unpopular, such as collecting assessments of hay. Some of the hay collected and stacked was burned by the Continentals. Although not accused of any misconduct, the fact of losing the hay may have deprived his troop of reward from the British, who occupied the place in force during the winter. The justice of the peace, by order, took charge of collecting the assessment imposed as they would a tax. The Judge George Duncan Ludlow (called a "Superintendent of Police") took charge of them and their local action. The native officers probably acted with more moderation than the foreigners. … His father-in-law. Justice John Hewlett, lived until 4 April. 1812, and was buried on a hill near his home at East Woods called "Mount Nebo." The justice divided his large landed estate among some of his children by deeds in 1791, etc. His daughter Mary married Isaac Youngs ; his eldest son, Townsend, married a sister of this John Jones. His second son, Isaac Hewlett, married Rhoda Van W>ck, and his son Divine married Ann, dau. of Jac. Coles, of Duck Pond. His dau. Elizabeth married Samuel Jones, son of William. It will be noticed how strongly the members of the family were tied together ; living near the boundary line between Queens and Suffolk Co., through a long civil war, the hostilities and jealousies which convulsed the whole country doubtless taught them to adhere firmly to each other and avoid giving offence. | HEWLETT, John III (I1809)
|
| 521 | From History of Long Island, Vol 3: The Scudder family, although not among the original settlers of Suffolk county, might almost claim directly, can, in some of its branches at least, claim descent by intermarriage with every one of its historic families of which Suffolk is so justly proud. Then, too, their own American pedigree commences at a date almost ranking with the first. The American Pioneer, Thomas Scudder, left Grafton, England in 1636, and settled at Salem, Massachusetts. He left three sons, Thomas, John and Henry, all of whom in 1652 crossed over to Long Island to become residents of Southold. After a while, they all moved to Huntington township and acquired land there. From Long Island Genealogies: THOMAS SCUDDER, sr (supposed to be his son) came from Groton, England with wife Elisabeth in 1636. Settled at Salem, Mass., died there in 1657. | SCUDDER, Thomas (I1386)
|
| 522 | From History of Queens John, who in the line of descent is called John Hewlett second. He married Hannah Jackson, daughter of the second Colonel John and Elizabeth Jackson, who lived at Jerusalem, L.I. After their marriage he bought a tract of land located in East Woods (now known as Woodbury). Here he settled and remained till his death, May 5th 1790, in the 88th year of his age. His wife, Hannah J, died three years previous, March 3d 1787, in the 90th year of her age. Their remains rest in a family burying ground situated on a narrow projecting mound a short distance east of the house now designated as Mount Nebo. The place is now in the possession, and the ground thus dedicated is to be the burial place, of the descendants of John Hewlett the second, who among other children left a son John, born February 17th 1731,who is designated as John Hewlett the third. | HEWLETT, John II (I4531)
|
| 523 | From History of Queens County The subject of this memoir was born at Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., September 23d 1800, and died at the same place, December 28th 1879. His ancestors were among the earliest settlers in their respective sections. He was the lineal descendant of George Hewlett, who was actively engaged in the early settlement of the town of Hempstead, L.I. John the youngest son, from whom Jacob C. descended and who is designated as John Hewlett the first, settled at Rockaway. His wife’s name was Mary Smith. They had a son John, who in the line of descent is called John Hewlett second. He married Hannah Jackson, daughter of the second Colonel John and Elizabeth Jackson, who lived at Jerusalem, L.I.

His wife, Hannah J., died three years previous, viz, March 3d 1787, in the 90th year of her age. Their remains rest in a family burying ground situated on a narrow projecting mound a short distance east of the house now designated as Mount Nebo. The place is now in the possession, and the ground thus dedicated is to be the burial place, of the descendants of John Hewlett the second, who among other children left a son John, born February 17th 1731,who is designated as John Hewlett the third. He married Sarah Townsend, a daughter of Rumoan and Mary Townsend. John Hewlett the third died April 4th 1812, and his wife Sarah died September 9th 1808. They had seven children married, including Devine, who was the father of the subject of this memoir. Devine Hewlett married Annie Coles, daughter of Jacob Coles and Sarah Cock. Annie Coles, the mother of Jacob Coles Hewlett, was of the 7th generation from Robert Coles, who came from England in 1630 and settled in Massachusetts, afterward going with Roger Williams to Rhode Island, where he died about 1651. Devine and Annie Hewlett had twelve children, as follows: -Sarah, who married John Hewlett for her first husband and Singleton Mitchell for her second; -Amelia, married Thomas Coles; -Loretta, married John H.

| 524 | From History of Queens County: The Mudge family of Long Island traces its ancestry back to 1637, when Jarvis Mudge came from England and settled in Boston, Mass. From there he removed to Pequot (New London), where he died in 1653. His son Moses, born in 1652, came to Oyster Bay and became the progenitor of the present generation. He died in 1729, leaving a son William, who subsequently settled at what is now Glen Cove. Here he raised a prosperous family and at his death left the homestead to his son Coles Mudge, who in turn’ left it to his son Jacob. Jacob Mudge married Hannah Titus, and their family consisted of one son and one daughter. The daughter, now deceased, was the wife of John Valentine, and the son, now occupying the same old homestead, is William Mudge whose portrait accompanies this sketch. He was born August 17th 1812. His wife, Martha. T. Willets, a daughter of Richard Willets, was an estimable woman, whose death he was called to mourn January 1st 1872. Their two sons, William J. and Henry W., are well situated in life. Henry W. was married in 1879 to Jessie C. Jackson, and is now a practicing attorney in New York city. His brother William J. is on the homestead with his crippled father. Several, generations of this family have been members of the Society of Friends, and the survivors still live in the faith and practices of that sect. Politically, Mr. Mudge is identified with the Republican party, as the successor of the Whig party, to which his father also belonged. In the business world he is regarded as a successful man, and in the community as a useful citizen. | MUDGE, William (I3706)

| 529 | From Howe/Graves: DELILAH S. DAVIS, an earnest and liberal supporter of patriotic work, has been a department officer of the Woman's Relief Corps of Massachusetts for several years. Born November 28, 1833, in that part of the old town of Methuen now included in Lawrence, Mass., she was one of the twelve children, six boys and six girls, of John and Delilah (Smith) Graves. Her father, born September 27, 1800, in New Market, N.H., died November 23, 1880, in Palmer, Mass. Her paternal grandfather, Joseph Graves, was born in 1761 in Stratham, Rockingham County, N.H. His wife was Mary Badger, of Portsmouth, N.H. Her brother, Daniel Badger, was a ship-builder. He was buried on Badger's Island, near Portsmouth, N.H., and on his tombstone was recorded the number of ships he built. The mother of Mrs. Davis was born in Wolfborough, N.H., April 12, 1798. She died in Palmer, Mass., June 4, 1873. She was one of the four children and the youngest of the three daughters of James and Abigail (Pinkham) Smith. Her maternal grandfather, Abijah Pinkham, was a soldier of the Revolution, the records showing that he was a private in Captain Smith Emerson's company on Seavey's Island in November, 1775. Abigail Pinkham after the death of James Smith, her first husband, married Reuben Libby, by whom she had a son and a daughter. John Graves and Delilah Smith were married in 1821 in Boston, where Mr. Graves was engaged in the livery business. He subsequently bought a farm in Methuen, built a soap factory, and conducted an extensive business. After the founding, in 1847, of Lawrence, the "new city," as it was called, he removed to Billerica. Here his daughter Delilah attended a private school. She had previously been a pupil in the Prospect Street School, Lawrence, formerly Methuen: and when, in 1850, the family returned to Lawrence, she was admitted to the Lawrence High School. It being decided in the home council that she could not take the full three years' course of study, she preferred to give up school at once, which she was allowed to do. On June 22, 1851, she was married to Edwin Lawrence Davis. He was born in Billerica, February 17, 1831, son of Timothy Jr. and Susan S. (Lawrence) Davis. Timothy Davis Jr. died in Billerica in 1841. His wife, Susan S., was the daughter of the Rev. Nathaniel Lawrence, who preached in Tyngsboro, Mass., forty years, and delivered a sermon on the day of his death. He died suddenly, of apoplexy. His son, Samuel S. Lawrence, was a prominent merchant of Boston. Timothy Davis Jr. was a member of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, which was formetl in 1823. Mrs. Davis has in her po.ssession his certificate of membership, signed by the president of the association, J. Brooks; the vice-presidents, T. H. Perkins and Joseph Story: the secretary, Franklin Dexter: the treasurer, Nathaniel P. Russell; and fourteen directors. Edwin Lawrence Davis, enlisting in the navy in 1864, was in the United States service in the latter part of the Civil War as captain's clerk on the steamer "Miami." Mrs. Davis had two brothers in the Union army, one of whom died in a hospital at Alexandria. Mr. and Mrs. Davis removed in September, 1853, to Palmer, Mass., where Mr. Davis purchased a dry-goods store, and was a successful merchant. They had two children: George Lawrence, born March 26, 1854, who died Nov. 29, 1883: and Annie Elizabeth, who is still living. Mrs. Davis became interested in church and charitable work in Palmer, devoting her special efforts to the cause represented by L. L. Merrick Post, G. A. R., and its auxiliary Relief Corps, which was formed in 1886. She was elected first President of the Relief Corps, and was installed into this office five years in succession. At the annual State convention held in Boston in 1891 she was elected Senior Vice- President. The office of President of the Department of Massachusetts, Woman's Relief Corps, was tendered her the following year, but she was unable to accept the honor, as her husband was in failing health. During the destructive fire in Palmer in 1895 Mr. Davis's store was burned. They went to Gardiner, Me., in the spring of 1896, and in December of that same year returned to Massachusetts, settling in Springfield. Mr. Davis died in that city, January 6, 1897. In October following Mrs. Davis moved to Lawrence, where she now resides with her daughter. In 1900 Mrs. Davis was elected Department Chaplain of the Massachusetts Woman's Relief Corps, and at the annual convention of 1901 she was re-elected. Referring to this office, she said: "Fully appreciating the honor con- ferred, I assumed the sacred duties of Chaplain, and have filled the position to the best of my ability. The work lia.s been an inspiration to me and given me a better knowledge of what has been done through the State on Memorial Day." In her last report as Department Chaplain she stated that members assisted in decorating the graves of thirty-four thousand four hundred and fifty-one soldiers in Massachusetts, that flowers were furnished one hundred and twenty-two posts on Memorial Day, and that memorials and Horal designs for the unknown deatl who sleep in nameless graves were pre- pared by one hundred and thirty-nine corps. Memorial Day work in the South was aided by one humlred and fourteen corps in Massa- chusetts. The number of children who assisted in memorial exercises under the direction of corps was reported as twenty-eight thousand five hundred and fifty-five. An elaborate account of this work throughout the State was prepared by Mrs. Davis, her report containing twenty-one printetd pages. Elected a member of the Department Executive Board in 1902, Mrs. Davis has continued her interest with the same loyal enthusiasm as in other years. She has served as Inspector and on numerous committees. As a delegate to several national conventions she has travelled in many States, and has been recognized by national appointments in the order.

| 534 | From Jackson Family History site JOHN JACKSON (c. 1645/50-1725) was a son of Robert Jackson of Hempstead, Long Island, who had moved from Stamford, Connecticut, to Long Island, in 1644. Robert was the first of the line in this country as at present established. The son John was born about and between 1645 and 1650 presumably at Hempstead. He lived much of his life at Jerusalem, Long Island. His wife was Elizabeth, a daughter of Captain John Seaman (1610-1695 of Hempstead, by his first wife Elizabeth, a daughter of John Strickland of Hempstead. It is not known when Elizabeth (Seaman) Jackson was born or died. John Jackson's will was made on August 26, 1724, and proved December 6, 1725, so he certainly died in 1725. The will disposed of considerable land to all his sons and left slaves and furniture to his daughters, he having nine children in all. John Jackson was Sheriff of Queens County in 1691, was a member of the Assembly, and a Colonel of the Long Island militia. His rank in the militia was a very high one for the times and the details of his appointment are not known but the fact of his commission is well established. He was promoted from Captain to Major in 1697. In 1700 he was a Lieutenant Colonel commanding the regiment of foot of Queens County under commission of the Earl of Bellomont, Governor of the Province of New York, and later promoted.

| 535 | From Journal of Hindu & Christian Studies, Vol 17, 2004 PROFESSOR Judson Trapnell was born in 1954 in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1979 he received his B.A. from Maharishi International University. He later graduated from Yale University with a M.Div., and in 1992 he received his Ph.D. from the Department of Religion and Religious Education at The Catholic University of America. From 1997 to 2000 he worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Hampden-Sydney in Virginia. In fall 2000 he joined the faculty at the College of St. Benedict / St. John's University in Minnesota in a tenure-track position. Tragically, he resigned that same school year, due to malignant melanoma. He, his wife, and his children returned to Virginia in order to be closer to family and friends. On August 3, 2003, he passed away at his home. Dr. Trapnell had numerous publications, which appeared in journals such as the Journal of Ecumenical Studies, HinduChristian Studies Bulletin, Dialogue and Alliance, Horizons, and Vidyajyoti. He also presented papers at the conventions of the College Theology Society and the Catholic Theological Society of America. His research focused on classic figures from the Hindu-Christian encounter, such as Swami Abhishiktananda and Raimundo Panikkar. Bede Griffiths was his main inspiration, and in 2001 he published Bede Griffiths: A Life in Dialogue with the State University of New York Press. Trapnell also focused on current affairs, writing on the escalating tensions in India between Hindus and Christians. At the time of his death he was writing a second book, involving the poetry of Swami Abhishiktananda. Trapnell was both a scholar and a contemplative. In fact, while his research was careful and rigorous it was also a means for him to draw closer to God. He thereby followed in the scholarly ideal of the European monasteries, and this is one of the reasons that he was so delighted to have received employment at St. Benedict / St. John's, both of which house large Benedictine communities. Trapnell's best work probably lay ahead. His family includes his wife, Rosemarie Trapnell, to whom he was married in 1987, and their children, Maria and Grace Trapnell. Judson Trapnell was a kind man, passionate about world religions, and beloved by his students. | TRAPNELL, Judson Bemis (I1171)

| 536 | From Judah Asimov's written recollections about his mother's siblings: "The oldest brother was Nochum Jacob." "Nochum Jacob was about 11 years old, he made a litle box and polished it and painted it. Inside, he fit a quart bottle and took it to their garden where they grew all kinds of vegetables for their use. He took a bud from a cucumber, placed it inside the bottle, and watched it grow. When he decided it was big enough, he cut the stem off, leaving that cucumber inside the bottle. He then filled it with preserves to make it last, and startled the neighborhood. How did he put such a cucumber inside such a small hole? This was an example of how all of them were smart people." Judah wrote that his mother, the eldest, had two sisters and five brothers. | LEIKIN, Nochum Jacob (I5)

| 537 | From Judah's recollections, written in 1969: "I was very young when I started to like to talk to her (Anna), but she used to dress up and go away with or to girl friends, giving me the impression that she doesn't care for me, until a little over 50 years ago we got married. "That was right after the Communist revolution. But regardless, we had a truly Jewish wedding, where the whole town's people Jew and Gentile came to the front of the shul where our wedding took place under the open sky." Judah's niece, Serafima Asimova, later wrote an email to her cousins in the United States dispelling a rumor in Petrovichi that Judah and Anna left for the U.S. because the Bermans and Asimovs were not happy about the marriage. (Note: Serafima refers to Anna as Hanna, and to Judah's mother as Hanna, as well) The rumor was "...that Judah and Hanna Berman there have left far away from my grandmother Hanna which did not like the wife of the son. It is a lie." She writes: "Judah - the first-born Hanna and Aaron Asimov. The grandmother of Hanna (Berman) very much liked Judah. When he began to meet about Hanna Berman, the grandmother asked the son to not hurry up. He was high and beautiful, and Hanna very small. But to a place there has come a typhus and Judah was ill the Typhus. For days and nights stayed about his bed of Hanna Berman and heart of the grandmother at a kind of such love and fidelity has trembled and she has recognized to Hanna and was glad to their marriage." | Family: ASIMOV, Judah / BERMAN, Anna (Hana) Rachel (F9)

| 541 | From Lari Siegel, Goldie's granddaughter: Goldie Greenberg was fun and adventurous. She bobbed her hair, liked to go dancing, swooned over movie stars, and like the rest of the female population, was crushed when Rudolph Valentino died. And, when she saw an attractive gentleman would remark, "He can put his shoes under my bed." She had attended a Lutheran school in Romania where she learned French and German. So whilst her father was working at the bus company, I assume repairing the carriages the horses used to chauffeur the multitudes of New Yorkers, Goldie change her name. Instead of Greenberg, which translates to Green Mountain, she was known for a period as Vermont, which of course means, Green Mountain. Goldie Greenberg was definitely born in the wrong decade. One day her mother, who shall remain nameless, was cleaning or nosing around -- who's to say. Hidden in one of Goldie's drawers was a marriage license to one Samuel Siegel. The marriage was bad enough, but the fact that it wasn't performed by a Rabbi was too much for whatís her name. Subsequently, a proper Jewish wedding occurred June 4, 1922 to ease the shame and restore honor. | GREENBERG, Goldie (I2956)

Subsequently Alexander S. and Thomas A. purchased this tract from their father, and Thomas A. having purchased his brother's interest, became sole owner, and after his marriage in 1813, Hawthorn was his residence until his death in 1856. In Sept., 1856, his executors sold the mansion house and 60 acres to Col. Angus W. McDonald, who became a prominent officer in the Confederate States Army. During the Civil War the old homestead was shorn of its beauty—the buildings became a wreck, and the handsome lawn despoiled by wanton destruction of the great ornamental trees, and the magnificent estate was left a dilapidated ruin. The vandalism of certain well-known Federal Brigadiers and their commands, was without the pale of civilized warfare. After the war, the McDonald family sold it to Henry Laughlin of St. Louis, who did much to reinstate what had been destroyed. Passing from his estate to Wm. R. Alexander, a member of the Winchester Bar, it subsequently passed to the present owners, Mr. Edmunds and wife. Under their artistic treatment, we see the New Hawthorn. May it never cease to attract the admiration of the small number who knew and admired the old homestead. The Old Town Spring on the roadside, with brick house and walls, became the property of Winchester by a deed from Mr. Tidball June 15, 1840, with reservations for the use of owners of Hawthorn. Thomas A. Tidball was Deputy-Clerk for James Keith from 1804 to 1824. Upon the death of Judge Keith, Mr. Tidball was appointed Clerk. When the office was made elective by popular vote, he was elected, and continued his long term of 52 years as deputy and clerk without opposition. His official life has been a guide to his successors. None, however, ever felt they could equal their model. The systematic and perfect work found in the old office is easily recognized as that of the man who had the confidence and esteem of all who knew him. Mr. Tidball married Susan Hill, a daughter of Rev. William Hill, D.D., Nov. 18, 1813. They had three children, Joseph, Scott and Bettie. Mr. Tidball was elected and ordained a ruling elder in the Loudoun Street Presbyterian Church, Winchester, Va., the 14th day of Jany., 1855. While the writer knew Mr. Tidball and his family, and could draw from memory many incidents of interest, he prefers to insert here the language of another, taken from a sketch published in "Memorials of Virginia Clerks," written by James Carr Baker, Esq., member of the Winchester Bar, and Mr. Tidball's deputy for many years. "Indulge the writer in a reminiscence of the family of Mr. Tidball. When the writer, in his fourteenth year, entered the family, it consisted of Rev. William Hill and wife, Mr. Tidball and wife, and their three children: Joseph, Alexander Scott, and Bettie Morton. William Marshall of Happy Creek and Lewis Arms lead of Fauquier became members soon after. Bettie Morton (now Mrs. Thurston) of Cumberland is the only living member of the family. Joseph was an accomplished scholar; became a lawyer; removed to California, and left the impress of genius on the country of his adoption. Alex. Scott had gone to the same State before his brother, and became in that new country an artist of some note. William Marshall died before completing his education. Lewis Armstead graduated at West Point, and espoused the cause of the Confederacy, and at the Battle of Gettysburg was killed in his saddle." The author must add that the writer just quoted and Mrs. Thurston, have long since gone beyond the River to join the family circle referred to. Mrs. Thurston's daughter, Miss Helen, married Edward M. Tidball. One daughter (now Mrs. Samuel Barton) survives both parents. One other daughter—is now Mrs. Hunter Boyd of Cumberland, wife of the Judge of the Supreme Court of Maryland. Joseph married Mary M., daughter of Dr. Stuart Baldwin. Two children survive them: William A. Tidball, of Texas, married Miss Swartzwelder; and Susan married Ed. M. Tidball. Alex. Scott married in California, and had an interesting family when the writer visited them in 1879. | TIDBALL, Thomas Allen (I3944)

| 577 | From Stackpole p 30: One who has given much study to the genealogy of the Fernald family has told me that the descendants of Reginald Fernald number fifty thousand. From Stackpole p 375: Renald (also called Reginald) Fernald came to Portsmouth in 1631 as the surgeon of Capt. John Mason's Company. It is a tradition that he was a surgeon in the English Navy. resigning his post to come to America. He was Clerk of Court, Recorder of Deeds. Commissioner, and Surveyor, and was Town Clerk at the time of his death. He lived on "Doctor's," now Peirces Island, where he died between 17 May and 7 Oct., 1656, and is said to have been buried at Point of Graves cemetery in Portsmouth. His wife's name was Joanna, who died in 1660. | FERNALD, Renald (I3296)
|
| 578 | From Stackpole p 375-376: Thomas Fernald made a deposition 18 April 1679, giving his age as "46 about." In 1645 Puddington's Islands were leased to him by the agent of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and in 1671, he deeded one of them to his brother William, "for the fulfilling of the last Will of our Dere father, Renald Fernald." Thomas Fernald married Temperance - He was a shipbuilder. His inventory was returned 25 Aug. 1697. The larger of his two islands, afterwards known as Seavey's Island, was divided by his widow 20 Nov. 1702, among the surviving children. Addl: Seavey’s Island later conjoined into Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and a naval prison. It was the subject of a border dispute between Maine and New Hampshire in 2001, and as of 2011 is considered part of Maine From Stackpole on Kittery Navy Yard: 3 May 1645, Richard Vines, acting as agent for Sir Ferdinando Gorges, gave a perpetual lease of the islands to Thomas, son of Renald Fernald. The rent was two shillings and six pence yearly. The lease was practically a gift to the twelve year- old son of Dr. Fernald for his father's sake. Thomas Fernald, 9 Sept. 1671, deeded the island next to the mainland to his brother William. This was then called "Lay Clayme" island, perhaps because Purington had laid claim to it. In 1806 this island was in the possession of Capt. William Dennett and was purchased of him by the United States government for $5,500. It then had but one house upon it and was a place for drying fish. !t contains about sixty acres. About thirty years ago Seavey's Island, the old home of Thomas Fernald, was purchased by the government and added to the grounds of the navy yard. The part of the navy yard known formerly as Seavey's Island contains the foundry and the naval hospital. Here were quartered the Spanish prisoners taken in the naval battle off Santiago, and here thirty-one of them are buried. The "Reina Mercedes," a Spanish cruiser captured in that fight, is now undergoing repairs here and will be used as a training ship. Thus our government is getting ready to maintain peace, to do with kindred nations the police duty of the world. The point of land which is directly opposite Pierce's Island has been an obstruction to the passage of the largest ships. The government is now blasting and mining for its removal at a cost of a million of dollars. This was called Henderson's Point from the fact that William Henderson, who married Sarah, daughter of Thomas Fernald in 1700, lived here. Thomas Fernald's house was near the southeastern point of the island, where a little cemetery is seen. Some broken slate tombstones may be found, and one inscription indicates the grave of Elizabeth, wife of Stephen Eastwick and daughter of Thomas Fernald. From a mid-1800s account by Charles Brewster, text of a document by Thomas Fernald conveying the island settled by his father, Renald, in the Piscataqua to his sister: Peirce's island was once the property of Dr. Renald Fernald, one of the first settlers of Portsmouth. We have a deed from Thomas Fernald, son of the Doctor, dated in 1688, conveying what is now Peirce's island and One Tree Island. It commences in this manner: Know all men by these presents that I, Thomas Fernald of Kittery, in the province of Maine, in New England shipwright, being ye eldest lawfull begotten son of Reginald Fernald, doctor, deceased, many good considerations and causes mee thereunto moovinge, and especially in obedience of ye commands of my honoured father and mother at their deceases severally, and ye great and ardent love and natural affections and respect which I have and bear unto my dearly beloved and loveing sister Sarah, some time the wife of Mr. Allin Loyd, mariner, deceased, and now the wife of Mr. Richard Waterhouse of Portsmouth in ye province of New Hampshire in New England, tanner, have given, granted, etc. unto my said sister Sarah all and whole that part of ye Island commonly known by the term or name of ye Doctor's island, whereon the now dwelling house of ye said Waterhouse standeth, together with a little island near thereunto, and ye land bounded, together with the said little island as followeth, viz: on the one end with some part of ye same island, being at ye narrowest part or place there and commonly known by ye name or terme of ye Mast cove or Bass rock cove, and on the other end near unto which is the aforesaid little island, bounded only with the water leading to that part of Portsmouth aforesaid commonly called Strawbury bank, and one side, together with ye sd little island bounded with ye channel of ye river Piscataqua, and on ye other side with a branch of ye said river leading unto and from that part of said Portsmouth called Little Harbour, which said tract of land or ground, together with all the privileges, properties, conveniences and appurtenances therein, thereon, or thereunto belonging, concerning or any manner or waye appertaining, woods, under woods, rivers, wells or waters, earth, stones, gravel and sands, and fishing, fowling, hunting and hawking, and whatever else is, will or may be profitable or pleasant in or upon my premises, unto my said sister Sarah, her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns forever, etc. Waterhouse resided on the island, and for many years it bore the family name. The island on which the Navy Yard is located, containing about sixty acres, was once called Fernald's island. It was purchased of Capt. William Dennett, by the United States, in 1806, for a Navy yard. The price paid was $5,500. It was a place for drying fish and had but one house upon it. Hugh Byrne: During a tour of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in July, 2011, PIO Gary Hildreth mentioned that his documents indicated Dennett had been made aware of the Navy’s desire to purchase an island to build a Naval ship yard, and that Dennett purchased it from the Fernald family for ~$2,000 without disclosing this fact, he subsequently ‘flipped’ it to the Navy for $5,500. | FERNALD, Thomas (I3274)

| 600 | From the Chicago Tribune, 20 Nov 1907 'Tiny Cocktail' Parts Pair It and Auto Rides the Feature of Nevers Family Trouble Ferd Peck Jr. Is Involved His Car Figures in Gay Trips to Clubs and Restaurants Edward W. Nevers, a "brain broker" for the Hapgoods business registration, 140 Dearborn street, celebrated his second wedding anniversary by filing a suit for divorce. This became known yesterday when the suit asking legal separation from Hortense B. Never. 22 years old, 3 Forty-sixth place, was placed on public record, it having been filed on Nov. 15. It was suppressed until yesterday in order that service of papers could be obtained on Mrs. Nevers and certain important witnesses referred to in the bill of complaint. Mr. Never was married to Hortense B. Martin at Fort Worth, her former home. Nov. 15. 1905. The divorce suit represents only a portion of the domestic troubles of Mr. and Mrs. Nevers. Further light was thrown on their affairs during a hearing in Municipal Judge Saddler's court at Harrison street station yesterday. Mrs. Nevers caused the arrest of her husband ten. days ago while he was attending a banquet at Vogelsang's restaurant. Mrs. Nevers charged nonsupport. Judge Sadler ordered that Mr. Nevers pay his wife $12 a week for one year. Attorney O'Connor gave notice of an appeal to the Appelate court. Attorney O'Connor put Mrs. Nevers through a cross examination that caused the two dozen stylishly dressed women, most of them friends of Mrs. Nevers who attended the hearing to listen with interest to narratives of 3 a. m. drinking scenes, cocktail episodes, and denials. The divorce suit flied by Mr. Nevers mentions "a man prominent in public life, whose name will be furnished the court at request," and "one other man whose father has been prominent in public affairs." The names of the two men referred to were brought out in the hearing yesterday. Spills Cocktail on Ferd Peck Jr. "Didn't you pour two cocktails down the neck of Ferd W. Peck Jr. on one occasion of his visits to your home?"" asked Attorney O'Connor. "No, sir, I didnt." "Did you spill a cocktail on his clothes?" "Well. I will tell you just how that happened. We had a tiny cocktail and I accidentally knocked it off the table. Some spilled on Mr. Peck and some on my dress." "I suppose only the cherry hit Mr. Peck?" Judge Sadler said Mrs. Nevers need not answer. Mrs. Nevers was asked to explain the presence of "Ferd" Peck at her home during the absence of her husband, at 2 a. m. "My friend, Miss Foster, was there that evening and was ill. Mr. Peck came in his automobile. Late in the evening my brother-in-law. George Nevers, and a friend of his, named McAlister, took Mr. Pecks automobile and didn't return until 2 o'clock. Mr. Peck had to wait for his automobile." Flustered; Hair Not Disarranged. "Did they find you in a flustered condition? Wasn't your hair disarranged, and did you not 'reuse yourself while you fixed your hair?" "I didn't have to fix my hair. It wasn't disarranged. I was flustered because the boys kept the automobile so long." Mrs. Nevers admitted accompanying Mr. Peck to the South Shore Country club in an automobile, and to downtown lunches. Mr. Peck is a son of Ferdinand W. Peck. With apparent reluctance Mrs. Nevers admitted that she accompanied Knox Smith and William Hanford, who is connected with the Standard Oil company, together with her friend, Miss Foster, on the night of Oct. 29 to the Claremont restaurant, Thirty-ninth Street and Indiana Avenue, at 9 p.m.: the Greek restaurant at 11 p.m., and "a creamed chicken supper" at the College inn at 1 a.m. all the same night. After seeing Miss Foster to her residence, 4820 Kenwood avenue, the two men accompanied Mrs. Nevers to her home. Later Mr. Nevers came in. "Didnt Mr. Nevers order the men out of the house?" was asked. Mrs. Nevers denied that. Mr. Nevers left his wife the next day. | Family: NEVERS, Edward / MARTIN, Hortense B (F3800)
