1110 Piecing together Garrett Rue's life, he appears to have been a troubled individual. He got off to a reasonable start, the son of a farmer in western Ohio. HIs father died when he was in his mid-twenties, and he was the executor of the estate, which appeared to leave very little to the descendants. His marriage to Sarah occurred only 5 months before the birth of his first daughter, Annie. Following his move to Kansas in the early 1860's, he appeared to be on a better track, serving as one of the first state legislators there. But he appears to have gotten into a number of legal disputes in Johnson County, mainly financial, and later moved to Neodosha. Once he and the family made it west to Hollister in late 1880s, more problems seemed to follow. His wife filed claims of assault against Garrett, and essentially divorced him. He ultimately hanged himself in 1890. RUE, Garrett C. (I175)

1116 Possibly born in Connecticut (stated on Henrietta Earley Byrne’s death certificate in 1910).

Probate files are extensive. There are multiple claims from Bedford County, PA regarding debts owed by Robert M Earley. Additionally, further evidence he kept a tavern (a coffin maker claimed Earley owed him $14 for making coffins for two patrons who died in his tavern). Also, there appears one document of debt tied to both Robert M and Henry Earley. In 1857, a robbery-murder took place in Rock Island where a Henry Earley was the victim. Haven’t confirmed yet that this is one in the same, but there is a Henry (born ~1808) living with Robert, Lydia and family in Rock Island in the 1850 census.

Robert appears to have skipped out on ~$2,500 in unpaid debt when he left Bedford, PA. His creditors at some point learned of his debt (possibly late 1852, or early 1853), and tracked down his widow to try and collect. The court *appears* to have ruled in their favor, though it’s not clear if and how the debt was collected from the estate. Items documented in the estate are basic things, including beds, linens, etc., and don’t add up to more than a few hundred dollars.

Esquire article on Thomas John Hall Trapnell

March, 1943

Salute to Tom Trapnell, D.S.C.
West Point grid star who wanted to be preacher, became instead hero of the bridge at Rosario
by A. PAUL MEKTON

On January 22, 1942, from his field headquarters in the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur announced the award of the Distinguished Service Cross to Major T.J. Hall Trapnell, Cavalry. The communique from General MacArthur stated:

Major Trapnell, who is a former football hero of the United States Military Academy, matched his brilliant gridiron career with outstanding exploits on the battlefield. The action for which Major Trapnell was decorated took place at Rosario in La Union province on December 22, 1941, while his cavalry unit was engaged in rear-guard operations. During concentrated enemy fire from tanks and infantry, Major Trapnell remained between the hostile force and his own troops and set fire to a truck on a bridge. He waited until the bridge was in flames before leaving the scene in a scout car. He then retired slowly with the rear elements of his organization, picked up wounded soldiers and rallied his men. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Major Trapnell delayed the hostile advance and set an inspiring example to his entire regiment.

We have only to go back to his family antecedents for the elements that produced Major Trapnell, D.S.C. His grandfathers, on both paternal and distaff sides were rebel troopers in the Civil War, one of them in General Ashby's cavalry. His grandmother's brother, Thomas White, was on Stonewall Jackson's staff. Of the present generation of the family that includes twenty-nine men, seventeen are in the United States armed forces, ranging in rank from Colonel Trapnell himself to a corporal. The eldest, brother, Joseph Trapnell, 3rd, served in the United States Navy during the World War on the transport Zuiderdijk and was wounded in action. Another brother, Commander Walter Scott Trapnell, was graduated from Annapolis in 1920 and is now port captain in Balboa, Panama. A cousin, Lieutenant Commander Frederick M. Trapnell, a Navy flyer and crack pilot, took part in the flight of 18 bombers from San Diego to Honolulu in 1938.

Called Hall by his family, Tom Trapnell was born in Yonkers in 1902 and began making football history in the Mount Hebron Grammar School in Upper Montclair, N.J. where he early learned to go up against odds without flinching. A game had been booked with the jayvee team of a neighboring school. When the opposing team came on the field, Hebron's coach spotted a player of the first team in the jayvee lineup. The coach protested, but young Trapnell said: "Aw, let him play. We don't care." Then on the first play after the kick-off, the ringer, carrying the ball, came around end. Tom, playing halfback, made a flying tackle. The ringer was out!

When Tom was ready for high school, his grandfather, Joseph Trapnell, a trustee of Episcopal High School, Alexandria, Virginia, got him a partial scholarship. He went in for track, basketball, lacrosse and football, and his third year he was captain of the eleven. It was during the years at Episcopal High that the influence of his ministerial relatives induced him to plan to become an Episcopal minister. A great-grandfather, grandfather and two uncles were Episcopal ministers.

However, Major C.D. Daly, football coach at West Point, sold him on the idea of trying for an appointment to the Academy. He succeeded in gelling an alternate appointment, and during the interim, Tom and some of his high school friends served as a temporary pickup crew for his brother Joe, who was port steward and purchasing agent for the Baltimore Steamship Company, sailing to Caribbean ports on the S.S. Coelleda and the S.S. Lake Fauquier as ordinary seamen.

Subsequently he took the competitive examination and won the appointment to West Point, entering the Academy from New Jersey in 1923. A two-letter man, outstanding in both football and lacrosse, he was also Phi Beta Kappa, president of his class for three years, teacher in the Sunday school to which children of the post were sent, and president of the Y.M.C.A. The West Point year book of 1927 said of him: "For the class and for the Academy, he has been a zealous worker, but towards his own advancement he has taken a nonchalant attitude -- the attitude of the truly unselfish comrade-in-arms. He is one who thinks first, acts quickly and wisely, and of whom it can never be said that he boasts."

At the end of his leave after he was graduated in 1927, Tom was sent to Monterey, California, with the calvary. There he took up polo and became a star. In 1929, he married Miss Alyse Snow in Fresno. She is now living in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, having been evacuated from the Philippines in May, 1942.

In 1939 Trapnell was sent to the Philippines at the request of General MacArthur, who likes the football type of officer. With the fall of Bataan he was reported captured by the Japs. From a passenger returning on the Gripsholm, the family heard that "The Kid", as he was known to them, was a prisoner in Tarlac prison —- emaciated and drawn with prison pallor and malnutrition. Neither his mother, Mrs. Laura Trapnell who lives in Baltimore, nor any other member of his family has heard from him since the war started.

1150 Research notes for Hiram & Heman Austin, late additions to my children Francis & Eleanor Austin tree. Have not yet verified beyond doubt that Heman and Hiram were their children.

Main reason for adding are as follows:

Heman born in Vermont in 1827
In census records cites both parents as born in Vermont, which is correct for Francis. In other children of Francis & Eleanor, ‘Father’s birthplace’ is usually cited as Vermont, but ‘Mother’s birthplace’ varies between Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.


Hiram born in Pennsylvania 1831

Cites ‘Father’s birthplace’ and ‘Mother’s birthplace’ as Vermont.
In 1880 census, Hiram has a “Frank Austin” living with his family. Frank appears to be the same Frank who was son of Freeman Whitten Austin.
Freeman Austin was also living and farming at some time in Rough & Ready, where Hiram & Heman both live & farm . This is not a particularly populated area in the late 19th century (nor today).

Francis & Eleanor Austin moved quite a bit, and went from Vermont to New York to Indiana, Illinois and Kansas. Is it possible Hiram was born on the way west in Pennsylvania?

1154 Robert and Mary [Hawxhurst] Coles, who came to Mass. Bay with Gov. Winthrop in 1630

From Early Geneologies of the Cole Family:

The Long Island Family of Coles

Robert Cole. The name is frequently spelled with an “s” in the old records. He came in the fleet of Winthrop in 1630, and was one of those who desired to be admitted freeman October 19, 1630, and he was admitted May 18, 1631.

In 1632 it was ordered that two delegates be sent from each of the plantations to advise the Governor and assistants in regard to the raising of revenue, and he was one of the two sent from Roxbury. His drinking habits were opposed to the ideas of the Puritans, and he was several times fined. At length the following order was passed:

“March 4, 1633: The court orders that Robert Coles, for drunkeness by him committed at Roxbury, shall be disfranchised, weare about his necke and soe to hange upon his outward garment a D made of redd clothe and sett upon white; to contynue this for a yeare, and not to leave it off any tyme when he comes amongst company, under penalty of XLs. for the first offense, and V pounds for the second, and after to be punished by the court as they think meet; also he is to weare the D outwards, and is enjoyned to appear at the next general court, and to contynue thise until it be ended.”

The same month he went with the party under John Winthrop, Jr., to occupy Agawam (Ipswich), and begin the settlement of that town. He did not remain there long, and he may be the man mentioned in the will of Samuel Fuller, the elder, of Plymouth, July 30, 1633, as then residing with him in Plymouth.

Savage says of him that he reformed his habits. He was one of the twelve men who joined Roger Williams in the settlement of Providence, in October, 1638. His lot in the division of the land was bounded west by the present Main street, east by Hope street, and on one other side by Meeting House street. (Annals of Providence, 33.) He was one of the founders of the first Church of Providence, March 16, 1639. (Arnold’s Rhode Island, 107.) He was one of the seventeen who purchased the Pautuxet meadows, and he made his home there.

Three others were appointed with him as a committee to arbitrate disputes and to make rules of government, and their report was the compact signed by all the settlers. He became a friend of Samuel Gorton when he came to Providence, driven from Massachusetts by the intolerance of the authorities of that colony, and gave him part of his land. The actions of Gorton and his followers were such, however, as to cause the older settlers to wish to be free from them, and he, with four others, in September, 1642, appeared before the general court at Boston and yielded themselves up to the Massachusetts colony, which accepted jurisdiction and appointed the magistrates. (Arnold, 468.)

The commissioners found the charge true, and promised to write Mr. Cole to return the money. (Ply. Col. Rec. X., 375.). He died before October, 1654, as on October 18 of that year the town council distributed his property in the way he should have made his will.

The following orders refer to his estate:

“Warwick, Rhode Island, June 11, 1656: The town council having formerly disposed of the estate of Robert Cole, late deceased, and having allotted out the portions of the children, ordered that the lands and meadows, together with the pasturage on the south side of the Pautuxet river and the north line bound of Warwick bound is allotted out for security of Nathaniel Cole, Robert Cole, and Sarah Cole, their portions amounting to the sum of six score pounds.

“Further ordered, that the mill of Warwick being a part of the estate of Robert Cole, late deceased, is allotted out for security of Daniel Cole, his portion being £50.”

He married Mary ----. After his death she married Mathias Harvey, and removed to Oyster Bay, Long Island, where she died.

1176 San Francisco Call, June 7, 1899:

Walter C. Byrne and Miss Mabel Drennan were married this morning at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Louisa Drennan.

The interior of the home presented a beautiful appearance. The back parlor, where the ceremony was solemnized, was decorated with festoons of smilax, woodwardia ferns and the pure white wax lily, which was the only flower used. The main parlor was decorated with sweet peas. The young couple stood in the bay-win-dow and the beautiful Episcopal service was road by Rev. James B. Orr of the First Congregational Church. The bride was gowned in a silk dress of blue— the same one used by her mother at her wedding. Miss Drennan was attended by her sister, Miss Dora Drennan, and Mr. Byrne by Thomas G. McCreary. A wedding breakfast followed the ceremony. The tables had been placed in the lawn under the trees, and in this natural garden spot with the addition of immense clusters of azaleas the breakfast was enjoyed.

Mrs. Byrne is a native of Santa Cruz and a graduate of the local high school and the State Normal School. For a number of years she has taught in the Santa Cruz schools.

Mr. Byrne is a member of the firm of Byrne Bros.

Distressing Accident.
A Boy Shot While Carelessly Playing With a Gun.
An accident of a peculiarly sad and distressing handled by a boy, brought
disfigurement and perhaps death to a playmate.
Frank Sager and Ryland Drennan, two well known boys, were playing on
Chestnut avenue with a shot gun, and in some manner, Sager, who had the
gun, accidentally discharged it, the full force of the shot striking young
Drennan in the face tearing away the left side and shattering the jaw-bone.
It was a most unfortunate case as young Drennan was an unusually bright
boy, very popular among his friends, and should he recover will carry the
ugly marks, resulting from one day's careless sport, through life. The
shooting was entirely accidental, the boys being great friends. Young
Sager is almst crazed with grief and fright over the unfortunate occurrence. The attending physician removed the shattered remnants of
the bone, and it is hope that the boy may recover, although grave fears are
entertained that other complications may set in that will prove fatal.

* From the days prior to the Mongolia scandal unfolding, a story in the SF Chronicle about Ryland’s new appointment on the China Mail Steamship Company:

Harbor News

Under the houseflag of the China Mail Steamship Company, the former Pacific Mail liner China will steam from this port Saturday at 1 o’clock, and will inaugurate a service which is to compete with the T. K. K for the mastery of the trade between San Francisco and ports of the Orient other than Japanese. Captain Ryland Drennan is to go out in command of the China, and is well known as a navigator and master out of this port.

Drennan’s last command was the Pacific Mailer Newport in the Panama service, and later he went in the China trade of the company. He arrived here yesterday as chief officer of the liner Mongolia, and is to sever his connection with the Pacific Mail Company today.

The position of master of the China was offered him by radiogram from this port three days ago, and he accepted at once, so when the Mongolia steams for the Atlantic, there will be another chief as second to Captain Emery Rice.

Loaded to capacity with freight, the China will inaugurate the service of the of the new company to the Far East, and her cabins and steerage will be filled with passengers. Already the reservations of Chinese have filled the vessel as far as all accommodations except cabin are concerned, and at present Europeans and Americans have taken practically all the first-class accommodations on the trim liner.

Ceremonies incident to the christening of the houseflag of the new China Mail Steamship Company will be held on board the liner China at pier 42 this afternoon. At that time the new company will take its place among the shipping concerns of San Francisco and a large delegation of prominent shipping men will be present.


Served on the United States shipping Board, and is mentioned as being present during negotiations over the NY longshoremen’s strike in 1919.
