| 502 | 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)

| 507 | 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. Mrs. Davis is a liberal contributor to the various objects of the W. R. C, and takes special interest in its charitable and philanthropic work. She has been a guest of corps in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and in other Southern States. The Andersonville Prison property under the management of the National W. R. C. has received her liberal support, and she has visited these historic grounds in Georgia. Mrs. Davis is a woman of firm convictions, and is devoted to the principles of loyalty and justice. Her steadfast friendship and kindly deeds are appreciated by her associates. She attends the Methodist Episcopal Church in Lawrence. She is a member of the Charity Club of that city, also of the Woman's Christian Temperance I'nion and of the auxiliary to the Young Men's Christian Association of Lawrence. Her husband was a member of the Masonic lodge in Palmer, and she is therefore interested in the Order of the Eastern Star. Revere Chapter, No. 4, of that city, elected her its first secretary. For several years Mrs. Davis has been an active member of the Ladies' Aid Association of the SoKliers' Home in Massachusetts. As a visitor, director, and in other capacities she has given time, money, and effort for the welfare of the home. The officials and inmates recog- nize her faithful work in its behalf. Mrs. Davis, through her great-grandfather Pinkham, above mentioned, has membership in Bunker Hill Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Davis has one sister living, namely: Sarah Abbie Graves, whose home is in Indiana; another sister, Octavia McFarland, who resided in San Francisco, died June 5, 1893. Her only brother, Sewell F. Graves, resides hi Alameda, Cal. He is a sea captain, was in the United States navy during the Civil War, and is now a pilot in San Francisco Harbor. | GRAVES, Delilah (I3986)

| 512 | 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.

| 513 | 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)

| 514 | 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)
|
| 515 | 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)

| 517 | From July 2006 email from Serafima Asimov: "I remember my grandfather Samson Shmulevitch. It lived with us. The daddy, mum, I, uncle Boris and the grandfather lived in one room of a municipal apartment in the street Gogol 21, in Leningrad. Grandfather Samson was very beautiful, it was the artist, has died of an insult in 1984 years, in Leningrad." | SHMULEVITCH, Samson (I938)

| 519 | 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)

| 535 | From Oakland Tribune 1929: Hollister Airport Reports Record Growth in Activity HOLLISTER, July 19. A landmark for airmen because of being the home of what are reputed to be the largest hay warehouse in the world, with the name of Hollister painted thereon, six regular cross-state airlines now fly planes over this city on regular schedules, Robert Rideout, manager of the community airport here, reports. The lines using Hollister as an air lane guides are: Pickwick Airways, Pacific Air Transport, Western Air Express, Maddux Air Lines, West Coast Air Transport, and Continental Air Express. Rideout also revealed that this city's claim to being the home of the first commercial airline in California is recognized among pioneer airmen, this company being started by Cecil W. Buckley and James Stone, the latter stepfather of the former, both of Hollister. Buckley started the service immediately after leaving the United States army air corps in 1920. They flew a regular route between here, San Jose, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, and Salinas, but quit because of lack of patronage. They carried both "a passenger" and merchandise. Buckley is now piloting a commercial ship on a Havana airline. | STONE, James Alvin (I2190)

The lines using Hollister as an air lane guides are: Pickwick Airways, Pacific Air Transport, Western Air Express, Maddux Air Lines, West Coast Air Transport, and Continental Air Express. Rideout also revealed that this city's claim to being the home of the first commercial airline in California is recognized among pioneer airmen, this company being started by Cecil W. Buckley and James Stone, the latter stepfather of the former, both of Hollister. Buckley started the service immediately after leaving the United States army air corps in 1920. They flew a regular route between here, San Jose, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Watsonvllle, and Salinas, but quit because of lack of patronage. They carried both "a passenger" and merchandise. Buckley is now piloting a commercial ship on a Havana airline. | BUCKLEY, Cecil W (I2030)

| 542 | From Richard Watkins Trapnell application for membership in Sons of the American Revolution: “Captain David Hunter was Captain of one of the two York Co Penn companies of the French & Indian Wars. During summer of 1776, while living at “Red House Farm” about 2 miles from Martinsburg, VA, Capt Hunter mysteriously disappeared. He was at home in June of that year, as an old Journal of a Presbyterian minister speaks of riding from Martinsburg to Winchester with Capt. Hunter + Capt Joseph Holmes, his son in-law on June 6 1776. During the Civil War an old house in the Valley of VA was ransacked by Unionists and a paper found there sent to Capt Hunter’s great-grandson, David Hunter Strothes. It was a writ of habeas corpus directing Sheriff of Berkeley Co. to bring Capt. Hunter to the Capitol at Williamsburg. The writ was issued in the name of Geo III & by authority of Lord Dunmore, governor of VA. the 14th of May, the 14 “Year of the Reign of Geo III”. Thus nearly 100 years later, the disappearance of Captain Hunter, who was a patriot, was explained, for Lord Dunmore, the last of the English governors of Virginia, was noted for his unjust cruelty & has left behind an infamous memory.” | HUNTER, David (I967)

| 554 | From Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants: Hawthorn, familiarly known as the home of Thomas Allen Tidball, the third clerk of the county court. As previously stated, it was part of the Glen Burnie plantation, passing from that estate to Alfred H. Powell, who sold 331- 1/2 acres to Joseph Tidball the father of Thomas A. 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)

| 555 | 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)
|
| 556 | 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)

| 578 | 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)

| 585 | From the Morning Astorian, 2 Nov 1890: Caught On Fire Out At Sea The Steamer "Michigan" Arrives in Port with a Hot Cargo A Lively Race for the River Considerable excitement was created in this city early yesterday morning when a dispatch was received from Ft Canby announcing that the steam schooner Michigan was coming in on fire. E. A. Noyes, agent of the Union Pacific Company which owns the vessel, at once dispatched tug boats to meet the incoming steamer. The boats picked the distressed vessel up at the mouth of the river, but Captain S. F. Graves, who was in command of the Michigan, said that all he required was for the tugs to stand by. He reported that his vessel was afire in the forehold and had been burning for several hours. He had the hatches all battened down and the fire smothered in such away that he could make port and turn her over to the agents and underwriters. The tugs stood by and escorted the vessel up the river. The scene was an exciting one. Wild reportsliad proceeded the arrival of the Michigan, and hundreds flocked to the wharves to see -the burning vessel come up. The crowd was disappointed for save for puffs of smoke issuing from the seams at the bow, through the forward hatch and through the dead light holes of the freight deck, no fire was visible. The vessel came up the river at full speed, and by 12 o'clock had a line ashore at the Union Pacific dock. The few passengers on board were landed, and then the underwriters' agent, Chief Stockton of the fire department, and others, together with the Union Pacific representatives, went on board. A consultation followed, and the result was that it was decided to scuttle the vessel forward, or rather to sink her by the bow and thus smother the flames. Lines were run out, and with the aid of a tug the vessel was Warped around into a position between the west end of the Union Pacific wharf and the old sturgeon wharf. No. 1 and No. 2 engines were called out, but considerable delay was occasioned by the fact that the burning vessel was stuck in the mud, and the tugs made an effort to tow her off. This, it was found, could not be done, so orders were given and two lines of hose from each engine were put on board and the work of flooding the steamer commenced. The hose was put down through the hatch and as the first stream of water struck the fire, a mass of thick black smoke accompanied by a strong odor of burning fish was wafted to the wharf. Throughout the afternoon the engines pumped water into the hold. It was a veritable volcano. The fire was confined among 500 barrels of lime and 2,300 cases of salmon, with a lot of coal on one side to help it out The combined efforts- of the local engine companies told on the fire after several hours and at 7 o'clock last evening the fire was out. The damage could not be estimated last night but it will amount to probably 15,000. The vessel is considerably damaged, and of the cargo, the 2,300 cases of salmon, which belonged to Morgan & Sherman, are almost a total loss. The fish was insured for its full value, about $9,000. The lime, to which the origin of the fire is attributed, is also a total loss, but outside of this and the damage to the ship the loss is comparatively small. Captain Graves, master of the Michigan, stated that the fire was discovered about 2 o'clock yesterday morning when the vessel was about fifty miles off the entrance to Gray's Harbor. The hatches were at once battened down and all the ventilators turned. It was intended to kill the fire at once and the entire crew were summoned. The first attempt showed that this would be impossible, with the appliances at hand so the hatches were battened down again, the course laid direct for the Columbia river and the engineer told to open her wide. This was done, and the little steamer came along at a rate of speed she had seldom attained. The few passeugers were somewhat "frightened but they put their trust in Captain Graves and he saw them through. At first they insisted on the vessel being beached at once, but the skipper preferred to stay by his ship and get her into a place where if it was necessary to scuttle her he could find her again. Seeing he was determined, the passengers withdrew their objections, and the Michigan arrived here as state. With the exception of the salmon, the lime and other cargo is destined to Portland. | GRAVES, Sewell Fogg (I1781)

| 586 | From the Neodesha Register 11 Feb 1898: Then and Now. Tbe Citizen's '"Twenty-two Years Ago," column is to a few old cranks the most interesting part of the paper. We note in that portion of it chronicling Neodesha News, that "Ex-squire Rue is numbered with the new converts of tbe M. E. church", and that "The revival at the Methodist church has led to the conversion of about forty persons." What reminiscences are awakened in the minds of the old settlers when he sees the name of "Squire Rue." the fiery, redheaded giant, to whom every one gave the full half of the road. He settled on the place now owned by N. M. Tanquary, about 1868 and lived there until he sold out in 1881 to Mr. Tanquary. He went from here to California, and some time afterward took his departure from this world. He was a big grenerous man of fiery temper who feared nothing. | RUE, Garrett C. (I175)

| 591 | From the Rock Island Argus and Daily Union: The Late Murder Below we give the coroner’s verdict in regard to the murder of Henry Earley, at the Moline and Rock Island house. It was supposed the Earley was sleeping at the time he received the fatal shot, as he was found in an inclined position, his head resting upon a chair, and feet elevated upon another. His pockets were turned inside out, which led to the belief that he was murdered for money. Drs Truesdale and Knox held a post mortem examination and extracted the ball from Earley’s head. The jury returned the following verdict: “That said Henry Earley, deceased, came to his death from firearms in the hands of some person to us unknown, and from the best of our knowledge and belief, do declare the killing of said Henry Earley to be an act of willful murder” | EARLEY, Henry (I4648)
