| 401 | Freeman traveled with his brother, Levi, to California, perhaps coming together in 1849, which is when Levi arrived (August, 1849). He appears in the 1850 census to be living in Fremont, CA (the original in Yolo County), and then later in Nevada county, nearby Levi in both cases. By 1875 he is living as a farmer in Shiloh, Kansas, with his wife and 12 year-old son, Frank. Like several of his siblings, Freeman tried farming in southeast Kansas, having ping-ponged from California. He then returned to California, and in 1880 is again in Nevada City, as evidenced by his participation in the Great Register for Nevada County. | AUSTIN, Freeman Whitten (I185)

| 406 | From a Memorial and Biographical History of the Counties of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura CHARLES FERNALD. — Conspicuous among the homes of the Channel City is that of the Hon. Charles Fernald, perhaps the most widely known as well as the oldest New England resident of Santa Barbara. An entire city block is devoted to the culture of fruit and forest trees, upon a slight elevation in the midst of which stands the dwelling. The exterior is a true indication of the hospitable home within, for the Judge and his family unite to the simplicity and character of social life in New England, the genial hospitality and grace of the sunny South. Judge Fernald traces his lineage to one of the oldest stocks of American progenitors, being a direct descendent from Dr. Renald Fernald, who came from England to New Hampshire with Captain John Mason's company, in 1631, and settled in Piscataqua in that year. The Doctor had the distinguished honor of being the first surgeon who settled in New Hampshire, where the family has continued for more than two centuries. In 1640 appears the name of Renald Fernald as one of the grantors of fifty acres of glebe lands settled by the government and inhabitants of the Piscataqua Rivers to the church wardens for the advancement of the cause of religion. The city of Portsmouth has since been built upon the site of this grant. With this city the name of Fernald has been deservedly connected to the present day. Dr. Renald Fernald and is brother Thomas Fernald, who came from England with him, became proprietors of the island, or the northeast shore of the Piscataqua River, and their descendants held the same for a century and a half, until John Fernald, Jr., of Middleton, New Hampshire, conveyed away the middle one, known as the " Lay Claim Island, " and also as Fernald's Island, which afterwards on June 15, 1806, passed into the ownership of the United States and is now tlie site of Fort Sullivan in the Portsmouth or Kittery navy yard. The Fernalds have ever been a brave and loyal race. In 1776 Mark and Gilbert Fernald appended their signatures to the solemn engagement, to oppose the hostile proceedings of the British fleets and armies against the United American Colonies, and Hercules, or Archelaus Fernald, as he was sometimes called, the grandfather of our present subject, then only twenty-seven years of age, and a resident of Kittery, York County, Maine, enlisted in the Continental army in the regiment of Colonel Francis, when he marched to the Heights of Dorchester near Boston and engaged in the defense of his country. He afterward did much other pa-triotic service. The subject of our present sketch. Judge Charles Fernald, was born at North Berwick, County of York, State of Maine, on May 27, 1830. After completing the preparatory studies for college under the tuition of Professor Harrison Carroll Hobart, at the age of eighteen he joined that band of hardy and brave youth sent forth by New England to California, arriving at San Francisco June 14, 1849, being one of the Argonauts to pass through the Golden Gate in that memorable year, — which honor the Judge still preserves by a life membership in the California Pioneers' Society. After a few months spent in the mines he returned to San Francisco in November 1849, and was engaged in editorial work and law reporting until May 1852, being upon the staff of the Morning Post and Alta, the two leading journals of that day. During the time of his residence in San Francisco, he pursued his law studies with steadfast ardor, although interrupted greatly by the fire of May 4, 1851, which blotted out the city and for a brief period checked business pursuits. On May 4, 1852, a conflagration again destroyed the growing city and swept away his entire library, which he had accumulated in the meantime. This second disaster seemed to have changed his determination to remain longer on this coast, and he resolved to return to Boston. Having many friends and acquaintances in Southern California, the Judge resolved to visit them on his way home, stopping at Santa Barbara and at Los Angeles, intending to take the Panama steamer at San Diego where it then touched. On June 30, 1852, he arrived at Santa Barbara, where he met his friends, Ed-ward Sherman Hoar and Augustus F. Hinehman, who were among the leading lawyers and citizens of what was then an old and respectable Spanish settlement. At this period the law-abiding citizens of Santa Barbara were carrying on a vigorous campaign against an organized set of bandits who, disregarding all laws, had so terrorized the peaceful residents that their lives were a daily burden. They had compelled the offi- cers of the law in the county to resign their trusts, and anarchy and terrorism ruled supreme. At a public meeting of the leading citizens of the town it was resolved to make a firm and determined effort to re-establish order, and they invited Judge Fernald, then a young man of twenty-two, to remain and assist in the good work, desiring him to accept the office of County Judge. He was not a man to decline a public duty thus imposed upon him, and finally consented to remain. Upon the application of the leading citizens of Santa Barbara, Governor John Bigler, on March 14, 1853, appointed him Judge of Santa Barbara County. To this place he was elected September 5, 1853, and re-elected in 1857. At these elections the Judge was the unanimous choice of the citizens of the county, only a few votes being cast against him. Among his first official acts was the appointment of Russel Heath to the office of district attorney, with a strong and efficient corps of county officers throughout to take the places of those who had resigned. To these the people gave loyal support and the county government was successfully reorganized, and so strictly and impartially were the laws enforced under the new regime that no public disorder or resistance to the laws was attempted for many years, notwithstanding many " bravos," outlaws and desperados were at large in some of the adjoining counties. On January 7, 1860, by a joint resolution of the Senate and Assembly, Judge Fernald was granted five months' leave of absence from the state, in order to transact some very important business and visit his old home in the East. The Judge spent six months in Massachusetts and in the East. On his return he was again elected County Judge, in 1861. In 1862 he again visited his old home in New England, and returned in October of that year accompanied with his bride, who was Miss H. H. Hobbs, of North Berwick, Maine, ever since and now the universally esteemed and honored wife who has so well aided in making an ideal home in Santa Barbara. In 1862 the Judge resigned his office on account of the inadequacy of the salary, and entered upon the active practice of his profession in Santa Barbara and throughout Southern California, where he has continued his practice with signal success up to the present time. He was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of this State on September 2, 1854, and the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of California, September 2, 1857, and to the Supreme Court of the United States at the October term, 1874. He was appointed Judge Advocate of the Fourth Division of the California Militia, April 26, 1854, by Governor John Bigler. Judge Fernald was almost unanimously elected Mayor of the city of Santa Barbara in May, 1882, and held the office for two years, to the great satisfaction of the citizens and honor to himself, declining to accept any salary, provided by city charter, for his services as such. For more than thirty years Judge Fernald has been identified with all the important litigation of this and adjoining counties, and throughout Southern California, and has numbered among his clients the most distinguished citizens as well as the largest non-resident land-owners; and during that long period has maintained his great reputa- tion in his profession for fidelity and signal ability. He is said never to have lost a land case. Nearly all the great land-owners, including John C. Jones, late of Boston, Massachu- setts; Colonel Thomas A. Scott, T Wallace More, Henry M. Newhall, Dr. Nicholas A. Den, Thomas B. Dibblee, Dr. J. B. Shaw, EUwood Cooper, Lazard Freres, the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and the Southern Pacific Railway Company were numbered among his clients. He has never been identified in any way with any doubtful or questionable litigation, refusing retainers in in- equitable cases as well as declining criminal practice. He is strong physically and morally, alert, an acute observer, and possesses the great and natural advantage of a good memory of facts and occurrences at a trial, as well as tireless industry. His services to this city in finally settling the title to and fixing the boundaries of its municipal lands, as successor to the ancient Pueblo of Santa Barbara, by obtaining a patent therefor (four square leagues) from the United States Land Department, the first patent ever issued to a pueblo in this State, were of great value to this city and its inhab-itants. Fortune has smiled on the Judge's professional career, and bestowed upon his exertions ample pecuniary rewards. He is now an ex- tensive land-owner in Santa Barbara and its vicinity, and a stockholder in many of its leading corporations. The Fernald Block, in which his elegant offices are located, is a striking ornament on State Street, situated in the heart of its business center. He has ever been one of the foremost in all local enterprises for the improvement of the city, and he has contributed in no small degree to its business prosperity. There is perhaps no citizen of Santa Barbara more widely known and respected than Judge Fernald. He is deeply read in an- cient and modern history, in English, French and Italian literature, and familiar with the principles of the civil as well as the common law; also a close student of international law and the science of government. He has ever taken a deep interest in fruit culture and in forestry, being a life member of the American Forestry Association. The first experiment in planting, and in the culti va tion of the olive tree in Southern California, outside of the old missions, was made by him. As early as 1865-'66, and long prior to the greater and more successful experiment of Mr. Ellwood Cooper, he purchased the "Belmont property," about seventy-five acres of land, near the city of Santa Barbara, and planted it out in olives of the mission variety, for the purpose of establishing the fact that the soil and climate of Southern California was alike favorable for the produc- tion of olives for preserving and for making oil of the best quality. | FERNALD, Charles (I2586)

| 407 | From A Modern History of Windham County Connecticut: Page 87: “In 1790 John Byrne of Norwich set up a printing press in the lower room of the courthouse, and early the next year produced the first newspaper of Windham County. It was called The Phenix, or Windham Herald. In a few years it had some twelve hundred subscribers, and made itself felt throughout the county. It was the medium for advertising of the first carding machine in the county, and was of great service during the War of 1812. “ Page 443: “Shaw also had a faculty for handling skunks. A man by the name of Byrnes kept a store at the foot of the hill going up to the machine shop. One day Byrnes was behind the postoffice boxes at the end of the counter next to the outside of the store. Shaw came in, had a bag which he opened and out came four or five half-grown skuns. Byrnes screamed, ‘Take them out.’ ‘Give me two plugs tobacco.’ ‘No,’ but Byrnes hesitated. Shaw kept going up and finally the Indian got six plugs, and the men in the store had a good laugh.” | BYRNE, John (I343)

| 408 | From a newspaper clipping saved in the effects of Emily Drennan Pulliam: Appeal by Pulliam By request of the Clearing House committee, Roy Pulliam makes the following appeal to the men with the extra dollar: “Now that the nation is at war, our greatest needs are men and money. We are preparing a great army for service. We must raise a large amount of money. “The government is raising two billion dollars of the money needed by the issuance of what it calls the Liberty loan: that is, the government is borrowing part of the money it needs from the people paying, paying the people a good rate of interest. “The Liberty bonds represent the best security in the world. The United States government is able to stand back of every penny it borrows with a reputation that is the finest. “The money which the government borrows from you is going to be used in purchasing supplies from you. The government not only borrows from you, it buys from you. “Fuerthermore, the average citizen is interested in the success of the nation. If we fail — and no one wants to fail — it will be a great calamity. There is the patriotic duty of helping the government that must be considered in this Liberty loan. There is a direct and individual obligation involved in this Liberty loan. If the citizens of the United States do not help the United States, who will? “Fresno is showing a magnificent spirit. The governent is asking for help, and the people here are giving it, just as they always do. I believe that Fresno will do its share, as it always does.” | PULLIAM, Roy (I2540)

| 410 | From Albert Stokes "The Rue Family": John Rue (Matthew) was, according to the records of Rev. Elisha Boudinot Stockton (*), born in 1679. The source of Stockton's information is not stated, but since this John Rue received a grant of land near the falls of the Delaware on Nov. 17, 1699 (NJD, Book B, p. 719), he may well have been born before 1679. In the Staten Island census, believed to have been taken about 1706, his age is given as forty-three. The same census gives Matthew Rue, age 25; Matthew Rue, age 20; and a boy Matthew. John's wife Petrnell is listed but no age is given. The Stockton records give her birth year as 1686 without revealing the source. John Rue was a freeholder on Staten Island in 1702 and a constable in 1707. In a deed for a lot in Perth Amboy, dated 1716, he is called a cordwainer of Richmond County, NY (NJD). This lot was sold in 1732 to Matthew and James Rue of the Province of Pennsylvania. There is strong possibility that these are brothers of John. In his will, dated Jan 6, 1756, and proved Mar 6, 1775 (NJW)(**), he refers to himself as a yeoman of Matchaponex, Middlesex County, in the Eastern Division of the Province of New Jersey. His wife Peternell is mentioned and provided for but she is not further identified, a task which has stumped the experts for several generations. Besides sons Matthew, William, John, and Joseph, grandchildren Joseph, William, John, sons of son Matthew deceased are specifically mentioned and bequeathed land at Manalapan. These in addition to other four sons of son Matthew are to support Margaret Rue, the wife of son Matthew. No daughters are mentioned and there is no indication that there were any. There is no inventory, which may indicate that John had been dead some years before probate. Children of John and Peternell Rue as listed in will (order uncertain; dates of birth not found): Matthew William John Joseph (*) New Jersey Historical Society (**) Abstracted erroneously in the "New Jersey Archives" under the name James Rue | RUE, John (I2324)
|
| 411 | From Albert Stokes "The Rue Family": Matthew Rue (John, Matthew) is believed to be the oldest son although no date of birth has been found. He could be the boy Matthew mentioned in the Staten Island census. That his first wife was Margaret Dove seems indicated by a deed in the New Jersey State Library, dated June 28, 1763, and recorded Oct. 6, 1763, between the legatees of Alexander Dove and John Smyth. Among the legatees is Joseph Rue, Jr., oldest son of Margaret Rue deceased, formerly Margaret Dove. Thus Margaret's parents are Alexander Dove, born 1663 in Shropshire, England, died in Monmouth County, NJ, Oct. 7, 1732, and Jane his wife, born 1671 and died in Monmouth County, Nov. 9, 1754. They are buried in the Topenamus graveyard where their stones giving the above information can be seen. The records of Christ Church at Shrewsbury, NJ, indicate the first Mrs. Rue's death as follows: "Burials 1748 - Apr. 29, Mrs. Rue wife of Mr. Matthew Rue. Her daughters Elenore and Jean were baptized same day aged 2 mo." On Oct. 11, 1749, Matthew Rue married Margaret Mount, daughter of Matthias Mount and widow of James Herbert (NJMB & SHGM). His will (NJW) dated Feb. 1, 1755, and proved Nov. 13, 1755, leaves to his wife Margaret one-third of the movable estate and requires her maintenance by his six sons while his widow. Each son gets 100 acres, while daughters get two-thirds of the movable estate. Executors: brothers William and Joseph. His widow married a third time to James Dey, Nov. 24, 1760 (NJB). ------------------------------- Matthew Rue's Will, Dated Feb 1, 1755 yeoman; will of. Wife, Margaret to have 1-3 of my movables and her maintenance on my plantation by my six sons, while she remains my widow.

|
| 412 | From Albert Stokes, "The Rue Family": John Rue, son of Jon and Peternell Rue, was born about 1709. The name of his first wife has not been found. He married a second time May 20, 1751, Scyte Boice, widow of Luke Voorhees (NJMB). His will is dated Sep 4, 1777, and from it we obtain the names of his children. It was probated Nov 16, 1795, and the inventory of his estate was taken Jan 30, 1796, totaling 1157.5.6 pounds. The will provided that his wife Seythe receive 100 pounds and be maintained by son John, who received all land except twenty-seven acres "whereon Mathias Johnson now lives," which was to be sold. The family to continue on the plantation until daughter Lydia is eighteen and daughter Seity Craig to live with the rest of the family. The executors were son John and cousin Mathew, son of Mathew. | RUE, John (I2327)
|
| 413 | From Albert Stokes, "The Rue Family": Joseph Rue, son of John and Peternell Rue, was b. about 1711. Most of our knowledge concerning him comes from his own and his father's wills. Joseph's will, dated May 20, 1765, and proved June 5, 1765, provides for the sale of his plantation on the Manalopan called Grape Vine Neck. It confirms the sale of land, purchased of William Perrine, to son John. Wife Sarah shall enjoy rest of estate including 200 acres where he now lives, conveyed to him by his father John Rue. What is left at death of wife is left to his children, Matthew, William, Joseph, Abigail Perine, Ann, and Mary. His part in Leonard's Mine, in Somerset County, is left to his three sons. Executors were wife Sarah, friends William Laird, Sr., and Matthew Rue, blacksmith. The estate was inventoried at 366.17.8 pounds on Jun 6, 1765. Mar 24, 1768, the executors record payment to Margaret Rue, daughter of Matthew Rue, deceased. Sarah's maiden name is unknown. | RUE, Joseph (I2328)

| 414 | From Albert Stokes, "The Rue Family": Joseph, b. June 19, 1751 (Christ Ch. Shrewsbury), d. at Pennington, NJ, Apr 15, 1826; mar. Feb 9, 1785, Elizabeth Liscomb, b. in New York City, Sep 5, 1760, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Adams) Liscomb, d. Aug 25, 1845. Both are buried in the Presbyterian churchyard at Pennington. Joseph Rue began theological studies with Rev. William Tennent before 1777, continued under Rev John Woodhull, and was licensed at Allentown Jul 25, 1781. He had graduated from the College of New Jersey (Princeton) in 1776. On Oct 19, 1785, he was installed pastor at Pennington, which relationship continued for forty-one years. Children were Thomas Liscomb Rue, b. Nov 7, 1785; Sarah Rue, b. Feb 5, 1790; Eliza Adams Rue, b. Dec 4, 1797; Joseph Woodhull Rue, b. Aug 17, 1803. | RUE, Joseph (I2376)

The are separated in death as they were in life, he being buried in Hoffman Hill Cemetery and she in Old Tennent Cemetery. The following record abstracted in NJA wills 5:390 gives the details; "Oct 12, 1779, Hannah Perrine of Monmouth Co, ward daughter of John Perrine, of said county, deceased. Said ward makes choice of her mother Mary Perrine as her guardian. Fellow bondsman, William Johnson. The Surrogate states that after signing the bond the parties informed him that the father of Hannah Perrine is not dead, but has joined the enemy at New York, that the estate left to said Hannah was left by a relation long since deceased, and that her father went to the enemy." Also see the "New Jersey Gazette", Mar 8, 1780: "Let the Publick Beware. Whereas the Commissioners for selling the Confiscated estates in the county of Monmouth etc. have in this paper of the first of March instant advertised among other things for sale 'a well improved farm containing 300 acres lying in Upper Freehold' which they are pleased to suppose belongs to John Perrine, now with the enemy; But this may assure the publick that the said farm doth not, nor ever did belong to the said John Perrine; but that the same property of and was duly devised to John, Peter, Mathew and Joseph Perrine, sons of the said John the Refugee, in and by the last will and testament of their grandfather, John Perrine, deceased, as will fully appear by the said will, duly proved and remaining in the Secretary's office at Burlington.--Therefore, in behalf of the said devisees, now under age, the subscribers, guardian of the said children, and the executors of the estate of the said deceased, do forewarn all manner of persons from purchasing the same, as they are determined to defend the said divisees' estate, according to the laws of this free and independent state.

| 417 | From Albert Stokes, "The Rue Family": Matthew Rue, the progenitor of this family in New Jersey, was on Staten Island as early as July 1679 when he witnessed a deed of gift from Estienne Gayneau to his son Stephen, about to wed Sussannah Usselton (Book 6, page 168, Div. of Land Records, Albany, and AG 19:17). Subsequent to 1679 he owned and undoubtedly lived on a tract of land near the mouth of the Kenebec River, in the present state of Maine but then in York County, Massachusetts. A deed of Matthew Rue, dated Nov. 20, 1683, was recorded Mar 5, 1721/2 -- "Between Matthew Rew Late of Kenebeck River In Ye Province of Maine to the Eastward, Yoeman Now Resident of Staten Island In ye Province of New York on ye one Part and Richard Pateshall of Boston in New England, Merchant on the other Part." It further mentions "where Matthew Rew built his dwelling house." Matthew signed with a mark. As no wife joined in the deed, it is reasonable to assume that he was a widower. The property was located opposite Lee's Island in the Kennebec River.* It is assumed that this Matthew was the immigrant ancestor but from whence he came has not been ascertained. Rue is a name occurring in many western European countries including England, where even a Matthew Rue is mentioned in the records of the Walloon Church at Canterbury: "Pierre du Riew son of the late Matthew, native of Lille, and Marie du Bois, widow of Francois Jaquesman, native of Canterbury, married May 18, 1685." On Staten Island, Matthew La Rue received a grant from Govenor Dongan on Dec 23, 1685. Of course Matthew had this land before the grant, which merely confirmed title already passed, but there is no record of any deed in the land records (Book A, the earliest, is missing). Matthew died before Oct 30, 1722, as evidenced by a survey of that date referring to "Land laid out for John Rue which was due him by virtue of a grant to his father Matthew Rue formerly of Staten Island, deceased" (Staten Island deeds, Book C, p. 100). This proves that John Rue was the son of Matthew. The relationship of this John to Matthew and James Rue, obviously his contemporaries, is not clear, but it is supposed that they are brothers. In 1732 they were of the Province of Pennsylvania. (*) York Deeds, Book 10. The writer is indebted to the late Mrs. Sarah Rue Powers, who supplied him with a copy of the deed and also pinpointed the location of the property conveyed. | RUE, Matthew (I2382)

| 418 | From Albert Stokes, "The Rue Family": On Dec. 8, 1762, John and Mathias Rue of Monmouth County, wards, children of William Rue of said county, deceased, make choice of guardian: "We the under subscribers do choose Jas. Abraham Jr. for a guardian to act in place of mother deceased." The document was signed by Ellen Rue and Ann Rue, who were of age, and John and Matthias Rue. Fellow bondsman was Jas. Abraham, Sr. Under date of June 28, 1766, Matthew and Rachel Rue of Monmouth County, children of William Rue of said county, choose as guardian William Perrine of Upper Freehold, said county.

His name is brought in through his marriage in the Lyall family and in a brief account of this family and some of their connections. It seems to have been an important case, for the decision fills thirty-six solid pages of this book. Four of the greatest lawyers of that day in New Jersey appear for the parties. Robert Stockton and George Wood for the plaintiff, and Garret D. Wall and L.H. Stockton for the defendant.

| 446 | From Edna Valentine's Notes: Francois (1) and Mary with their 9 children are mentioned as coming from France in 1657. Francis (2) and John (2) must have been the brothers who came from Paris (also mentioned in another account) and settled in Huntington; or elese they were grandsons of the first Francois. If Francois came here in 1657 with 9 children it is not likely that the Francis & John whose children were born 1710 - 1715 were among those 9 children. Another generation should come in here. We will leave that problem unsolved for a time. Francois and Marie with 9 children came from France by way of Holland in 1657. As they were mentioned with the GUenon family in the records of Flushing and Jamaica, they may have come on the same ship, the Dreadvat and possibly from the same place. Although they are supposed to have come from Brittany (Bretagne). In the annals of Flushing (page 2) Francis Barteau, Mary his wiefe and 3 children John, Francis and Abigail. If that Francis and Mary were children of Francois (1) then John, Francis, and Abigail would be generation 3 and the date more nearly believable. Edith Barteau Toombs genealogy is the same as Sherman Barteau's with this addition: it notes Francis as b. 1675 THe fact that the first generations were name Francis and John doesn't make it any clearer either! | BARTEAU, Francis (I512)

| 447 | From Edna Valentine: "Mrs. Corwin(sp), "cousin Maria", told me that Francis and Sarah were very fond of books and in the evening would sit in the doorway and read to each other. They lived in the "Old Barteau Place" on South County Road at top of hill in Brookhaven. She also said that people would come to Sall for the recipes because she was known all over as a very good cook." | Family: BARTEAU, Francis / OVERTON, Sarah (F169)

| 448 | From Edna Valentine: "The story my aunt told me of her (her aunt) was that at 14, with her hair in pigtails and short dresses, she packed her valise and crawled out of the window and married Charley Cooke of Yaphank and ran away to sea with him. He "followed the sea" and Sal stayed at home in Brookhaven with her daugher Cecille and I have her diary of that time. Her two chief amusements seem to have been singing school and washing clothes! I wish I had known "Sal" for she seems a person with an immense zest for life and though she couldn't spell (married at 14) she managed to put that spirit into the old diary. She certainly followed Charles Cook about for my grandmother went with them to to Galveston, when Charles was in the Customs there at the time of the Civil war. My grandmother, Martha Matthews Barteau is buried in Galveston. | BARTEAU, Sarah Maria (I470)
|
| 449 | From Edna Valentine: At this date (1950) I have no more on Jemima except guess work. There was a family of Turner in or around Yaphank in the census of 1790. There were Turners in Mariches later. The most likely family seems to me to be one that is mentioned in BH Town Records! "Fire Place, Jan 4, 1802 Petition to build a schoolhouse between house of late Scudder Ketcham an the lot of land owned by John Turner "The old Ketcham Place" was about where house of Mrs. JL Valentine now stands. I think Scudder Ketcham was grandefather of the Ketchams - Timothy? - living there later in the newer house now owned by Desmond Nelson. Therefore: the families certainly lived within courting distance! In the 1790 census John Turner, 2 sons and 1 daughter is mentioned. | TURNER, Jemima (I480)

| 457 | From Encyclopedia of Virginia: Edward McGuire, son of Constantine and Julia (McElligott) McGuire, was born about 1720, in county Kerry, Ireland. He was offered a commission in the Austrian army by his uncle, John Sigismund McGuire, and left home with the intention of entering that service, but was taken ill with the plague in Lisbon, where he met Bishop Carroll, of Maryland, who persuaded him to come to America. He was in Frederick county, Virginia, before 1747, the date of his first land grant, and was active in the Indian wars, and held a commission in the Fredericksburg line in 1775. He died near Winchester, Virginia, in 1806, and was buried under the old Catholic church in Winchester, which he built and gave to that denomination. He married Elizabeth Wheeler of Prince George county, Maryland, and left surviving issue. | MCGUIRE, Edward (I962)

| 462 | From Frederica Holmes Trapnell 1968 biography of John Macky The second Edward McGuire “was born in Winchester in July 1767. He was bred to the business of a merchant, entering first the store of Col. Dowdell in Winchester with whom he remained several years. After attaining the age of 20, he began business for himself at Battletown, now Berryville, and was so successful as to be able to also to open stores at Winchester and in North Carolina. Desiring to retire, he sold his three stores for 8000 Virginia currency, but fraudulent behavior on the part of the purchaser prevented him from receiving any of the purchase money for a long time and brought him to acute financial embarrassment. In 1805, he commenced keeping the large hotel in Winchester (which had been built by his father and previously rented to various innkeepers), made a very comfortable fortune, paid all his debts and supported and liberally educated his children. “He was a quiet man, apparently stern to those who did not know him well; but in reality sociable and hospitable, and generous and charitable to the needy. His son said, in his own old age, that his father was the most strictly truthful man he had ever known.” (Stanard, p. 32-33.) He died on November 23 at his home in “Woodville,” near Berryville. Standard and the Frederick Parish Register, 1825-42, both say he died in 1827, but his will was dated the 12th of November, 1828, and was proved on December first of that year. It provided for payment of his debts and then his estate was to be divided equally among all his children, except that over and above their equal share, his daughter Rebecca Macky was to have $500., his son Edward D. McGuire, a Negro boy named Bill; his son John Samuel McGuire, $500. Towards completion of his education. His son Hugh H. McGuire and his son-in-law Alexander S. Tidball (a lawyer and the husband of his daughter Millicent) were the executors. (Fred. Co. WIll Bk. 15, p. 19.) From Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography: Edward (2) McGuire, son of Edward (1) McGuire, the immigrant, and Elizabeth (Wheeler) McGuire, was born in 1768, at or near Winchester, Frederick county, Virginia. He always lived in Winchester; was a merchant and had stores in Alexandria and Norfolk, Virginia; and in Wilmington, North Carolina. Also owned large farms in Frederick county and elsewhere in Virginia. In politics he was a Federalist, and was a member of the Episcopal church. He married Elizabeth Holmes, of Winchester, Virginia. They had issue, namely: Rebecca, Milicent, Hugh Holmes, Edward D., William David, of whom more hereafter; David Holmes, John. | MCGUIRE, Edward (I959)

| 463 | From Frederica Holmes Trapnell history of John Macky: Dr. Robert Macky had been a surgeon in the Revolutionary War. (Va. Mag. of Hist. & Biog., v. II, No. 3, Jan. 1895, p. 255). The Virginia Magazine of History & Biography (v. 34, p. 360) says that Dr. Robert Macky of Winchester was one of' the executors of Thomas Bryan Martin, a nephew and heir of' Thomas, Lord Fairfax. According to the Journal of Dr. Alexander Balmain, rector of the Episcopal Church in Winchester from 1781 to 1821, Dr. Macky was a contributing member (2 per annum) of his congregation 1n the years 1783, 1784, 1785 and 1804. These are the only years for which he gives such information. A portrait, reputed to be that or Dr. Robert Macky, was owned by William McDonald Neill, probably a descendant or Dr. Macky’s granddaughter Catherine S. Baldwin, who married Simund C. Neill on July 11, 1850 (Register, Frederick Parish, Oct. 1825-1842). | MACKY, Dr Robert (I954)

| 464 | From Frederica Holmes Trapnell research notes: Edward Snicker, "being sick, weak of Body but in perfect sense and memory,” made his last will on the 18th of June, 1790, before witnesses Daniel Morgan, Sigismund Stribling and Matthew Wright (Fred. Co. Will Bk., No. 5, p. 296). He left to his only son, William Snickers, "the tract of land on which he now lives known by the the name of Clermont containing 413 acres," land in Loudoun County and a tract of land "held under lease from Lord Farefax (sic) to Lord Dunmore lying nere (sic) the Warmsprings in Berkeley County held by me in consideration or a sum of Money lent Lord Dunmore… also Sundrey Negrows…” To his daughter Sarah Alexander, he left “the tract of Land on Which I now live containing 411 acres known by the name of Springfield, Also Sundrey Negrows.” To h1s daughter Catharine Mackie (isc), he devised "the tract of Land Whereon John Obanion now lives which I purchased of Martin Ashby…” and to his daughter Elizabeth Stribling, "the tract of Land whereon She now lives known by the name of No. 1..also Sundry Negrows.” To his granddaughter "Polly' Mackie", be gave a Negro girl named Kitty, and to his grandson Edward Mackie, a Negro boy named Sam. (This grandson Edward, child of his daughter Catharine must have died young for this is the only reference to him that has been found.) The sheep on his Springfield plantation were to be divided equally' between his three daughters, Sarah Alexander, Catherine Mackie and Elizabeth Strlbling. William Snickers, Sarah Alexander, Doctor Robert Mackie, Thomas Stribling and General Daniel Morgan were named executors. When the will was probated on January 4, 1791, Daniel Morgan refused to “take upon himself the burden of the execution thereof.” | SNICKERS, Edward (I956)
|
| 465 | From Frederica Trapnell notes on John Macky from 1968: There is little authenticated information about Joseph Holmes prior to his coming to Winchester, Virginia. He is reputed to have been born at Ballykelly, Northern Ireland, on August 22, 1746. (Ballykelly is East of Londonderry on the road to Limavaddy and close to Lough Foyle.) His father, Hugh Holmes, is said to have owned an estate of 400 acres there. Many of the books about Winchester in its early days mention Joseph Holmes. Cartmell, Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants, list the Vestrymen of Frederick Paris in 1764, among them being Edward Snickers and Joseph Holmes (p. 181) and refers to the latter as “the Deputy-Commissioner General of Prisoners,” (p. 271). “The November Court 1784, Joseph Holmes produced his commission as Lieutenant Colonel and at the May Court 1785 was sworn as Sheriff,” (p. 90). “Upon the petition of Joseph Holmes, Gent. and others, merchants in the Borough of Winchester, that they may have a portion of public ground assigned them for the purpose of building a Tobacca Warehouse, ordered that…Robert Mackey…be appointed to lay off on the public lot adjoining Water Street, 100 feet square for the purpose aforesaid, and that said land is vested in Joseph Holmes…Trustees for the purpose aforesaid…” (p. 140). Water Street is now called Boscawen Street. It got its original name because the Town Run frequently overflowed it and made it impassable (The Streets of Winchester, Garland R. Quarles, p. 18). | HOLMES, Col Joseph (I964)
|
| 466 | From Frederica Trapnell notes: Her great-granddaughter, Mary Meade Ewart, said that she remembered one of the Riddles of Charles Town telling her that she and her sister as little girls like to go with their mother to call on Grandma Macky. She had such a charming home and always had cookies to give them, – “evidently they were seen and not fed when they went other places.” Mrs Tucker (another great-granddaughter) wrote that during the War (Civil), “Charlestown was overrun with the ‘damnyankees.’ My mother (Nannie Tidball) said that many a night they would bang on their doors and demand they get up and make pancakes. They would have to grease the whole top of the stove to make enough pancakes to satisfy them. Did you ever hear the tale that a bullet came crashing through the window and took the top off Grandma Macky’s cap?” No, and Mrs. Tucker died before she could relate it for inclusion here. What the sources were of Rebecca Macky’s income is not known, but they could not have been great. On February 10th, 1855, when she was fifty-seven, she first applied for a pension in consequence of her late husband’s service in the War of 1819, under the Act of Congress passed in September 1850, she deposing that her husband had not during his life time received any bounty lands nor had she. On July 13, 1878, the Hon Andrew Hunter, aged 74, and N. S. White, 60 years of age, appeared before B. C. Washington, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, West Virginia, to apply for a pension for Mrs. Rebecca Holmes Macky under a Law of Congress passed in March 1878. N. S. White, her son-in-law, swore that of his personal knowledge Mrs. Macky applied for and obtained a Land Warrant for 160 acres of land under the 1850 Law and that she sold the land for a dollar an acre. One of the papers in this latter claim ends with the statement, “She has been known by general reputation and by her intimate friends as the widow of said John Macky and is and has ever been a lady of the highest respectability.” The file does not show what disposition was made of this claim. She was eighty years old and died before its probable conclusion. On the 15th of April, 1852, “...Rebecca H. Mackey of Charlestown, Jefferson County, Virginia, for motives of benevolence and in consideration of the long fidelity of servant Thomas, commonly called Thoms Hataway, have manumitted and set free from slavery,...my negroe man Thomas Hataway and I hereby give, grant and return unto said Thomas all my right, title and claim of, in and to his person, labor and services and of, in and to all the estate and property to which he may now have or may hereafter acquire.” (Jeff. Co. Deed Bkl, 32, p272). | MCGUIRE, Rebecca Holmes (I953)

| 468 | From Frederica Trapnell research notes: Rebecca… was born in York County, Pennsylvania, on November 8, 1748. She married Joseph Holmes in 1767. In her will dated September 10, 1806, and proved October 6, 1806, she left a feather bed and bedding to each of her daughters, Elizabeth McGuire and Rebecca Contrad. To another daughter, Gertrude Holmes, she left the remainder of her beds and bedding and one “filley known by the name of Venus.” To each of her sons, Joseph Holmes and Andrew Hunter Holmes, she left a two-year old colt. All the rest of her property was to be sold and the receipts divided equally between her daughters, Elizabeth McGuire, Rebecca Contrad and Gertrude Holmes, and her sons, Joseph and Andrew Hunter Holmes. Her executors were Archibald Magill and Thomas Faucett. Martin Cartmell and David Holmes gave bond in the amount of $10,000. Her daughter Margaret Holmes Legrand had died, and no mention was made of her son Judge Hugh Holmes nor of her daughter Nancy Holmes Boyd. (Fred. Co. WIll Bk. 8, p. 254-244, 1806). | HUNTER, Rebecca (I965)

| 471 | From Frederica Trapnell: Mrs. Katie Tucker was an accomplished singer of folk songs – long before the popularity of the modern version of that form of music. “Her chatty lecture-recitals on Afro-American folk songs are a most delightful supplement…and her material is exceedingly interesting from the musical point of view. Her enthusiasm is contagious, her material is fascinating, and her comment is the most instructive sidelight on the significance of the Afro-American folk song heard in concert halls.” (Eric Delamarter, Chicago Critic). Dr. John A. Lomax of Harvard University made recordings of her songs and told her that she had the best collection in America.

| 487 | 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)

The oldest daughter Jennie or Janie was living with her grandmother Jane (McKibbon) Graves. | Family: STEWART, Edward C / GRAVES, Catharine (F3555)
|
| 489 | 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)

| 491 | 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.

| 494 | 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)

| 497 | 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)
|
| 498 | 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)

| 499 | 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)

| 500 | 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)
