| 608 | 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)
|
| 609 | 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)
|
| 610 | 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)
|
| 611 | 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)
|
| 612 | 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)
|
| 613 | From Frederica Trapnell notes: The third son named Joseph Holmes was born in 1789 and died in 1810, aged 21. Wayland refers to the “tragic death of Peyton Bull Smith who was killed Nov. 1809 near Shepherdstown on the Maryland side of the Potomac in a duel with Joseph Holmes.” (Historic Homes of Northern Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, John W. Wayland. The McCluer Col, Inc., Staunton, Virginia 1937, p. 50.) | HOLMES, Joseph (I1757)
|
| 614 | 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)
|
| 615 | From Frederica Trapnell research: On December 14, 1843, two days after her first cousin Mary Mackey Baldwin married Joseph Tidball, Catharine Macky married A. Scott Tidball, nephew and namesake of her Aunt Millicent’s husband and a son of Thomas Allen Tidball and Susan Watkins Hill Tidball. (Thomas Allen Tidball was Clerk of the Frederick County Court for years.) | Family: TIDBALL, A. Scott / MACKY, Catharine (F2843)

| 616 | From Frederica Trapnell research: Rebecca Holmes McGuire was a redheaded, seventeen year old Irish lass when she married John Macky. | Family: MACKY, John / MCGUIRE, Rebecca Holmes (F366)
|
| 617 | 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. Mrs. Tucker died in 1957 and the Library of Congress now has her collection of songs | DICKINSON, Katharine (I5321)

| 618 | From Frederica Trapnell: One of their daughters, Catharine Meade Fletcher, was the mother of WIlliam Meade Fletcher, a professor of Equity Pleading and Practice at Northwestern University, who was the author of the well-known “Cyclopedia of the Law of Private Corporations.” | FLETCHER, William Meade (I5316)
|
| 619 | From Frederica Trapnell: The third daughter of John Macky and Rebecca McGuire was born on October 20, 1822, and was named Catharine. She, too, was listed as a communicant of Christ Church, Winchester, on October 15, 1842, and as living in the “Country.” She, also, was subsequently marked “Removed.” | MACKY, Catharine (I4033)

|
| 633 | 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)

| 634 | 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)

| 635 | From Hamilton College website: Rushmore Rowley Valentine, Jr. '51 Rushmore Rowley Valentine, Jr. '51, a former geologist, was born on February 12, 1927, to Rushmore R. '19, an accountant, and Adelaide Jones Valentine, in Brooklyn, NY. He was a nephew of Harvey H. '25 and Joseph C. Valentine '25. Young Rushmore grew up on Long Island, where he was graduated from Friends Academy in Locust Valley. He followed his father and uncles to College Hill in 1947, after serving in the U.S. Army Air Force during the final months and aftermath of World War II. He joined their fraternity, Delta Upsilon, before leaving the Hill after three semesters at the end of 1948. Rushmore Valentine, who later attended Columbia University, "traveled the world in his early career as a geologist," according to his newspaper obituary. He was with Cities Service Petroleum Co. in Bogota, Colombia, when the College heard from him in 1956. He later settled in the Rochester, NY, area, where he was employed for 25 years by Rochester Products, manufacturers of containers and fuel injection systems, until his retirement in 1992. The College has only recently learned of Rushmore R. Valentine, Jr.'s death on December 30, 2005. Predeceased by his wife, Nancy B. Valentine, he was survived by two daughters, Beth Quattrociocchi and Susan Schultz, and three grandchildren and a sister. | VALENTINE, Rushmore Rowley Junior (I4805)

| 636 | From Hanaford Morning Journal A delightful bit of holiday news, which will come as a complete surprise to the many friends of the bride in this community, is the! announcement of the marriage oi Miss Bernice Inez Ebi, a popular member of the local social set, and Franklin Hugenin Coen, which was an event of the social calendar in Pasadena on New Years Day. The charming and prettily appointed wedding was solemnized at the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Ebi on Monte Vista Heights in the afternoon of January first, Dr. Robert Freeman of the First Presbyterian church of Pasadena officiating at the impressive ring ceremony in the presence of the relatives and a few of the intimate friends of the contracting parties. The rooms of the home were decorated in full keeping of the season, the dull greens and reds of the holidays making an effective setting for the bridal party. The bride, who is the diminutive and attractive daughter of Mr, and Mrs. J. A. Ebi, long time respected residents of this city, wore a modish and becoming afternoon frock of flesh colored georgette and carried a shower bouquet of brides roses. Her sole attendant was her cousin, Miss Vivian Ebi of Hollister, who wore a frock of harmonizing color, and also carried a shower of blossoms. Earl Ebi, the brother of the bride, attended the groom as best man. The couple will reside Bakersfield for a few months, later returning to Pasadena, where they will reside. During her residence in this city the bride has been one of the popular young girls of the community, whose charm of personality has surrounded her with a large circle of friends who will join in extending their hearty felicitations upon her marriage, although regretting that the marriage will take her into another city. She is a graduate of the local schools and completing her course at Hanford high entered the Fresno state teachers college, where she was a member of the Psi Chi Iota sorority, and from which she graduated with the class of 1927.

| 639 | 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)

| 643 | 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)
|
| 644 | 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)

| 645 | 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)

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.

| 648 | 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)

| 654 | 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)

| 659 | 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.

| 660 | 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)

| 661 | 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)

| 662 | 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)

| 666 | 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)
