| 313 | A biography of him can be found in John Smith Kendall, History of New Orleans, vol. 3 (Chicago: Lewis, 1922): 900: "R.D. Pitard. The name of Pitard is one which has been known in business circles of New Orleans for upwards of half a century. Three generations of business men have carried on enterprises which have borne this name, and all three have established reputations for integrity and records for success gained honorably. A worthy representative of the family is found in RD Pitard, who is carrying on a flourishing general hardware and paint business. "Mr Pitard was born at New Orleans, a son of Daniel and Barsilla (Bemiss) Pitard. His grandfather, Gustave Pitard, likewise a native of New Orleans, where the family has been represented for many years, spent his entire life here and from small beginnings built up a successful business in the line of hardware. He was primarily a business man and devoted his entire attention to the conduct of his establishment, so that he had little leisure for other matters, but is remembered as a good and public spirited man who did not fail in any of the duties of citizenship. He married Cecile Marpay [sic-Maupay], also a native of New Orleans and a lifelong resident of this city. "Daniel M. Pitard, the father of RD, was born at New Orleans and secured his education in private schools. As a youth he chose merchandising as his life work, and received his introduction to business affairs as a clerk in his father's hardware establishment. When the elder man died he assumed control of the business, which he conducted for a long period, but of more recent years has occupied himself with assisting his son in the conduct of the latter's enterprise. Daniel M Pitard married Miss Barsilla Bemiss, also a native of New Orleans, who survives as a resident of this city. "RD Pitard acquired his education in the parochial schools of New Orleans and the Jesuit College, and after his graduation from the latter institution began clerking in the store which had been established by his grandfather. There he learned the business in all its particulars, and in 1915 founded a business of his own, at No. 115 Chartres Street, with another entrance at No. 116 Exchange Place. Mr. Pitard carries a full line of shelf and heavy hardware, paints, oils, glass, etc., and is able to fill any order, large or small. He has established a reputation for fair and honorable dealings, and his natural courtesy and quick attention to the wants of his customers have combined to make a favorable impression and to gain him many friends and added custom. His establishment is modern in every respect, and he carries on his business in an energetic and progressive manner. Mr. Pitard is a member of the New Orleans Association of Commerce and has given his support to worthy civic movements, although his growing business has left him little time to engage in politics or public affairs. "In 1909 Mr Pitard was united in marriage with Miss Alice Ford, who was born at New Orleans, a daughter of James and Alice (Swarbrick) Ford." He appears as a WWI draftee living at 3914 Canal; he apparently failed the physical. He and his wife Alice had no children. | Pitard, Richmond Daniel (I144)

| 314 | A biography, from Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 7th ed., 1887, Kenton Co. HENRY WORTHINGTON was born in Mason County, Ky., September 1, 1826, and is the youngest of a family of fourteen children born to Thomas T. and A. (Whipps) Worthington. Thomas T. Worthington was born in Baltimore County, Md., immigrated to Kentucky in 1796, and settled in Mason County. He was a prominent and successful farmer and stock raiser, and was a son of Samuel Worthington, who was born in England, and was a very wealthy gentleman. Mrs. A. Worthington was a native of England, and was a daughter of John Whipps. Henry Worthington left his native county in 1847, and went to Scioto County, Ohio, where he operated the Buena Vista free-stone quarries for about ten years, employing about 600 men. Subsequently he moved to Covington, Ky., where he engaged extensively in dealing in leaf tobacco, in which business he has since been successfully engaged. In 1876 he bought a two-thirds interest in the Licking Rolling Mills of Covington, Ky., of which his is president. In 1882-83 the Licking Rolling Mills Company built the Maumee Rolling Mills in Toledo, Ohio. June 16, 1853, he was united in marriage to Miss Maria Slack, daughter of Col. Jacob A. Slack. Six children blessed this union, four of whom are living: Henry S., Lillie Stewart, Mattie and Annie Hamilton. Mrs. Worthington died in 1867, a strict member of the Presbyterian CHurch, of which church Mr. Worthington is also a member. Politically he was an old line Whig, but now belongs to the protective wing of the Democratic party." Here is another history of him, from the History of Cincinnati and Hamilton County: HENRY WORTHINGTON was born in Mason county, Ky., September 1, 1826, son of Thomas T, and Arah (Whipps) Worthington, natives of Baltimore county. Md., who settled at Limestone, now Maysville, Ky., about 179. His grandfather, Samuel Worthington, was an English federalist who came to Maryland with one of the Lords Baltimore: he had twenty four children, and has numerous descendants in Mason, Bracken and Mercer counties, Ky. Thomas T. Worthington's family numbered sixteen children, all of whom reached maturity, and three are now living; Madison, a farmer in Mason county, Kr.: 'Martha, wife of William T. Craig, of Sioux City, Iowa, and henry. The last named received his education at a log schoolhouse on his father's farm, His first business venture was the development of an extensive stone quarry in Scioto county, Ohio, with the product of which he freighted steamboats and barges, and supplied materials for bridge abutments, buildings, etc., not only at Cincinnati, but also at Pittsburgh, Louisville, St. Louis. Natchez, etc. This industry gave employment to 500 men dewing summer. During the panic of 1857, owing to the difficulty of making collections, Mr. Worthington sold out the business at a loss of $18,000, although he met all his obligations in full. In 1860 he came to Cincinnati and embarked in the business of handling leaf tobacco, in which he still continues, and is also largely interested in the tobacco business as a producer, his farm of 2,000 acres, probably the largest in Hamilton county, being partly devoted to tobacco culture; he also has interests of a similar nature in Kentucky. Mr. Worthington owns a one-third interest in the Maumee Rolling Mills, Toledo, Ohio; he has invested largely in the electric light plants of Newport and Covington, Ky. ; Circleville, Ohio, and other places; in a blast furnace at Tonawanda, N. Y., in a foundry at Indianapolis. Ind., and in real estate at Toledo, Covington and elsewhere. Since 1853 he has resided at Covington. Mr. Worthington married Maria, daughter of Col. Jacob A. Slack, of Mason county, Ky., who died May 30, 1861, leaving four children: Elizabeth, Henry S., Anna and Mattie. Henry S. originated the Chesapeake & Ohio bridge at Cincinnati, secured the charter for it, and, having successfully launched the enterprise, disposed of it at a large profit. He has traveled in Mexico, Europe, etc., and now resides in New York, where he takes high rank among the literati of that city. Elizabeth married Archibald Stuart, proprietor of a newspaper at Toledo, Ohio, and a member of the Thomson-Houston Electrical Company. Anna is the wife of George G. Hamilton, one of the largest tobacco producers of Kentucky. Mr. Worthington was a Whig in ante-bellum days, but is now a Democrat. His religious connection is with the Presbyterian Church." NOTE the error here: compared to the first biography, in fact "Elizabeth, Henry S., Anna, and Mattie" are not Jacob Slack's children, but Henry and Maria's. | Worthington, Henry (I12431)

| 315 | A biography, from http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/: FRED FRICKE. Of the men of Fayette County who have contributed to the material growth and development of this part of Texas, few are more widely or favorably known than Fred Fricke, of Round Top. During his long and active career his experiences have included operations as a merchant, traveling salesman, stock dealer and banker, and at the present time he is president of the State Bank of Round Top and one of the most influential and progressive men of the village. Mr. Fricke was born in Washington County, Texas, June 28, 1856, and is a son of the pioneer founder of this German family, George H. Fricke. The father was born in the city of Hanover, province of Hanover, Germany, September 19, 1821, a son of Louise (Rehren) Fricke. The grandfather was an official in the service of the government. Among the children of the grandparents' family were: several daughters who remained in Europe; August, who remained in Hanover and served his government; George H., the father of Fred; and Dr. Fred, who came to the United States and located first at St. Louis, Missouri, but later went to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where he died in 1873 unmarried. A son of August Fricke, Fred Fricke, is a well-to-do druggist of Nebraska, and another son, Ernst, came to the United States, married in New Orleans, was a civil engineer and machinist, and died in Cuba while on a mission in connection with his profession. George H. Fricke sailed from Bremen, Germany, in 1846, and after his arrival at Galveston, removed to Washington County, Texas. He was not there long before he entered the service of the United States as a soldier for duty during the Mexican war, but after six months of military life became ill and was recuperated in a Houston hospital, then receiving his honorable discharge. Upon his recovery he returned to Europe and married Miss Rehren, with whom he soon returned to his first permanent place of settlement in Washington County, Texas. George H. Fricke was a well-educated man, and when he first began civic life in Texas it was as a teacher and farmer. He followed his educational career during almost all of his life, finishing his work in Fayette County, whence he had moved in 1864. He was several times justice of the peace in Washington County, and was busy with the duties of that office and his educational labors when the Civil war broke out. Mr. Fricke had early taken out his citizenship papers, and as he was a friend of the Union he espoused the cause of the republican party. He had come to Texas during the formative state of the commonwealth and at a time when many of her heroes of independence were still living, among whom he formed a wide acquaintance. He knew personally the great leader, Gen. Sam Houston, and it is probable that his warmth of feeling for the Union was inspired by the attitude of the general. Mr. Fricke was a man able of expressing himself on public occasions, and during gatherings in his community of any nature he was invariably called upon to preside or to speak. He was confirmed in the Lutheran Church, but never was connected with a fraternal order. His death occurred in October, 1893, Mrs. Fricke having preceded him to the grave, March 12, 1880. Their children were as follows : George, who is engaged in farming in the vicinity of Round Top; Paul, who resides at Brenham, Texas; Dora, who married first Otto Grumbka and second Charles Schreiber and died at Rutersville, Texas; Mary, who died in Austin County, Texas, as Mrs. Theo. Buehrina; Susan, who became the wife of Julius Holckamp and died in Kendall County, Texas; Fred, of this review; Regina, who, died as Mrs. Charles Huth; at Austin; Ida, who married Albert Real and lives near Kerrville, Texas; and Clara, who married Albert Giebel and resides on a farm near Industry. Fred Fricke was a lad of eight years when he accompanied his parents to Fayette County, and his education was secured under the preceptorship of his father, with additional schooling at LaGrange. He had a teaching experience of one year in a country school before he entered business life, and in 1873 went to Brenham and became a merchant's clerk. Three years later he engaged in mercantile pursuits on his own account there, conducting a store until 1878, when he went on the road as a traveling salesman, a vocation in which he followed the "trail" until January 1, 1897. Mr. Fricke started on the road for W. D. Cleveland, of Houston, was later with Ullmenn, Lewis & Company, and subsequently spent thirteen years with Foche, Wilkins & Lang, covering Texas territory throughout this long period, and becoming widely and favorably known throughout the state. When he left the road Mr. Fricke turned his attention to the stock business and farming in Fayette County, and became rather extensively identified with these lines, which he followed until 1908. He introduced a good blood of cattle into the country, occasionally shipped his stock, and as a farm improver added homes to the farm for tenants and gave an impetus to an already wakeful spirit there. On December 19, 1912, Mr. Fricke became identified with financial matters when he became the founder of the State Bank of Round Top, an institution with a capital of $10,000, of which he has since been president and his son, George H. Fricke, cashier. In the direction of this enterprise Mr. Fricke has displayed the possession of marked business and financial ability, a natural courtesy and broad-mindedness, a knowledge of affairs and human nature gained in his long years of travel and experience, and good business and financial judgment, which, combined with his high reputation for stability and substantiality, have gained the confidence of the depositors of the .bank, as well as a high standing for the institution in financial circles. Mr. Fricke has not entered actively into political life, but has cast his presidential vote always with the republican party. On February 20, 1880, Mr. Frieke was married to Miss Louisa Weyand, a daughter of George Weyand, a merchant of this community, a large real estate dealer, and a sterling citizen. Mr. Weyand married Christina Becker, and their living children are: Mrs. E. Nagel, Mrs. Alex von Rosenberg, Mrs. Louisa Fricke and Mrs. Lena Kaiser. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Fricke are as follows: Paul, a business man of El Campo, Texas, who married Adelia Hahn; Arthur, a business man of Carmine, Texas, who married Irene Vogelsang and has a daughter, Eveline; Fred, Jr., a stockman of this locality, who married Eugenie Vogelsang and has a son, Clinton; George H., who is cashier of the State Bank of Round Top, and married Louisa von Rosenberg, has two children, Helmer and Vernon; Lydia, the wife of Walter von Rosenberg, of Malone, Texas, a merchant, who has two daughters, Loraine and Loretta; Edgar, a student in the Blinn College, Brenham; and Estella, who is attending the public schools. -- pp. 1572 -1574. | Fricke, Fred (I4332)

| 316 | A biography, from http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/biographies_e-j.htm#ernest_fricke; he worked as a young man for Alex von Rosenberg, as this describes: ERNEST FRICKE, of Round Top, is a typical Texan, born in Fayette County, September 19, 1875, prominent in business as a young man, and of more recent years a leading merchant and in the forefront of movements beneficial to the material and moral uplifting of the community. As far as his education is concerned he is also a product of the Lone Star State. Starting his business in a modest way, relying upon the local patronage for its support, by untiring energy and remarkable initiative he has built up a large and prosperous enterprise, which attracts its trade from all over the county. Mr. Fricke is a member of a pioneer family of Texas, and a grandson of the founder thereof, George H. Fricke, who was born in Hanover, Germany, September 19, 1821. In 1846 George H. Fricke sailed from the city of Bremen, Germany, to Galveston, Texas, and subsequently removed to Washington County, where he soon enlisted for service during the Mexican war under the flag of the United States. He was soon taken ill and sent to a hospital at Houston, and after his honorable discharge and recovery returned to his native land where he was married to Miss Behren. Again coming to this country, he settled on his first property, and being a man 'of excellent education took up the vocations of teaching and farming. In 1864 he removed to Fayette County, where he continued his educational labors for many years and died in 1893. He had come to Texas during a time when many of its heroes of the Revolution were still living and among whom he formed a wide acquaintance, one of these being Gen. Sam Houston, whose opinions as to the Civil war Mr. Fricke shared. He was a republican in his political views, was an able and fluent speaker, and frequently was called upon to preside at meetings of various kinds in his community. His religious faith was that of the Lutheran Church, in which he was confirmed. Mrs. Fricke died March 12, 1880, having been the mother of the following children: George, the father of Ernest of this review; Paul, who resides at Brenham, Texas; Dora, who married first Otto Grumbka and second Charles Schreiber and died at Rutersville, Texas; Mary, who died in Austin County, Texas, as Mrs. Theo. Buehrina; Susan, who became the wife of Julius Holckamp and died in Kendall County, Texas; Fred, who is president of the First State Bank of Round Top and a well-known business man; Regina, who died as Mrs. Charles Huth, at Austin; and Ida, who became the wife of Albert Real and lives near [Kerrville], Texas. George Fricke, son of the pioneer and father of Ernest Fricke, was born July 3, 1849, in Washington County, Texas, and has spent his life about Round Top since 1864. He married Matilda Henkel, a daughter of Edward Henkel, who was justice of the peace for the Round Top locality for years and a native of Hessen-Castle, Germany, coming to the United States in 1848 and settling in Fayette County. He was an early merchant at Round Top, and after the war between the North and South devoted his life chiefly to public affairs. He erected some of the first structures at Round Top, was active in democratic politics, served his community ably as public official and private citizen, and died in 1894, one of the best known men of his locality. Mr. Henkel married Miss Louisa Schoenwerk for his first wife, and after her death was united with her sister, Matilda Schoenwerk. Of the Henkel children there were: Charley, who died unmarried; Mrs. Matilda Fricke; George, who resides at Dallas, Texas; and Albert, who died without issue. George Fricke has passed his life in agricultural pursuits, and his home is now near Round Top. He has had the following children: Ernest, of this review; Edward, a successful merchant at Woodsboro, Texas; Miss Louisa, who is engaged in teaching in Caldwell County, Texas; Albert, who is engaged in teaching in Refugio County; and Annita, the youngest, who is a schoolgirl. Ernest Fricke received his educational training in the public schools of Round Top, under the preceptorship of the present county clerk of Fayette County, P. Klatt, who was then in charge of the schools here. He left his school books before he was eighteen years of age to begin to work on the'home farm, in addition to which he became skilled in handling live stock, in which he was engaged for a period of about two years. Just before he became twenty-one years of age he secured his first business experience as a clerk in the mercantile line for Alex von Rosenberg, of Round Top, at the same time being employed in the post-office here. In 1897 he was appointed postmaster under the McKinley administration, and this office he has continued to retain to the present time, having passed the civil service examination for the office, in 1914 and being reappointed as a result of that examination. Mr. Fricke went into business on his own account, August 1, 1898, with a grocery stock valued at $400. He was aided financially by an uncle for some years until he reached a point where he could go on alone, and for four years was a partner with Arthur Fricke, as Fricke & Fricke, but finally bought his partner's interest and since that time the establishment has been conducted under the business style of Ernest Fricke. In addition to being a general merchant, Mr. Fricke is engaged in buying cotton, poultry and country produce, .in which he also deals. He has always warmly accorded to Round Top the same stanch support which its people have given him as an honorable and successful merchant and eminently useful citizen. Mr. Fricke has always practiced temperance. It has always been his endeavor to bring to Round Top the best trade, whether it patronizes his establishment or not, and for this reason may be placed in the booster class. He is vice president and a member of the official board of the First State Bank of Round Top, of which he was one of the organizers in 1912. A stalwart republican in his political views, Mr. Fricke was a member of the state republican convention held at San Antonio in 1900, and has served Round Top as its mayor four years. His administration was made notable by a businesslike handling of the town's affairs and the innovation of a number of needed civic reforms. Fraternally, he is also well known, being consul commander of the Woodmen of the World and treasurer of the Sons of Hermann, which latter lodge he has represented in the Grand Lodge of Texas. On November 1, 1899, Mr. Fricke was. married at Round Top to Miss Elizabeth Ginzel, a daughter of William Ginzel, an interesting figure of the locality and a business man of importance. Two children have been born to this union, namely: Mignon M. and Elmo Arthur. -- pp. 1570 -1572. | Fricke, Ernest (I4757)

| 317 | A biography, from http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/biographies_k-m.htm#meyer: CHARLES JOHN HENRY MEYER. One of the strongest business factors in the life of the little village of Ellinger in Fayette County has been Charles J. H. Meyer, a man of many sided activities, the owner of a splendid country property in addition to interests in the town, and a citizen who at different times has responded to the request of his fellows for service in local offices and in the legislature. He belongs to the pioneer German element in Fayette County, and was born in this county November 5, 1854. The family was planted in Texas by his grandfather, Henry Meyer, who in 1844 brought his family from Hanover, Germany, and landed from a sailing vessel at Galveston. From that point they secured ox teams to carry the people and their possessions to Fayette County. Grandfather Meyer located two miles north of Ellinger, started to develop a home, and the acreage which he owned and partly put into cultivation descended to his son and to his grandson, Charles J. H. Grandfather Meyer was sawing lumber by hand with which to cover cracks in his log cabin when bit by a snake, and was found dead. He lies in the Lutheran Cemetery between Ellinger and Fayetteville, and his wife, who lived to be seventy-nine years of age, lies beside him. When the Meyer family came into Texas the country was absolutely new, and there were Indians who occasionally called at the old cabin and once took the scalp of a relative of the family, an uncle of Charles J. H. Meyer. Henry Meyer's children were: Dora, who married Charles Hillman and died in Fayette County, leaving children; Annie, who married John Heinshon [Heinsohn], and also left children; Mary, who left a daughter by her marriage to Albert Alerbush [Ellerbusch]; John H.; Frederick, who spent his life in Fayette County; and Richard, who went to California just before the Civil war and nothing is known of his subsequent fate. John H. Meyer, father of the Ellinger business man, was born in Hanover and was fourteen years of age when he came to this country. He had only a country school education, hut was very apt as a business man, acquired business forms as he needed them, was expert in the handling of stock and crop productions. During a portion of the war he was overseer of a factory at LaGrange making hats for the Confederate soldiers, but subsequently was employed as a teamster carrying cotton and general merchandise in and out of Brownsville. Following the war came his settled activities as a farmer, and he raised crops over the site of the present town of Ellinger. He sold ninety acres to the railroad company for townsite purposes, and the depot was built not far from his house. He took an advanced stand in the breeding of blooded horses, and raised some of the best specimens of those animals in Fayette County. He was also widely known as a cattle drover. His market was at Houston, though it was his usual custom to sell his cattle off his ranch directly to the northern buyers. At his death he possessed 1,260 acres in the Colorado bottom, and it was one of the finest estates along that river. From the time Ellinger was founded he took a very active interest in its growth and development, and lived in the village until his death. He was always a democrat in politics, took much interest in the principles of the party, and was very strong in espousing the cause of his friends when they were candidates. Although not an orator he occasionally made talks on political and other subjects. Very seldom was he in court on business of his own and when such occasions did arise he defended his own cases. He had no fraternal affiliations, but this was due to the opposition of his wife to such orders. He was brought up in the faith of the Lutheran Church and gave liberally to the support of church and charitable causes in his community. John H. Meyer died March 20, 1893; he had been married nearly forty years. His wife was Miss Dora Alerbush [Ellerbusch], whose father, Albert Alerbush, came from Hanover, Germany, and settled in the Ellinger locality. Mrs. Meyer died in February, 1911. Her children were: Charles J. H.; Nancy, who married Jacob Koehl and died near Ellinger leaving children; Charles F., a farmer near Ellinger; John, who died just at his majority; D. Fritz, a ginner at Ellinger; Dora, wife of Charles Von Rosenberg of LaGrange; Annie, wife of F. W. Girndt of Ellinger; and Otta A., of Houston. Charles H. J. Meyer grew up in the locality where he was born and still has a picture of the cabin which was his birthplace. This cabin contained a single room, and like most of the early homes had a dirt floor. It is still standing, being now used as a crib, and is owned by a Bohemian settler. As part of his education Mr. Meyer spent three years in the Texas Military Institute at Austin. He returned home in Jurie, 1874, was married in St. Paul, and started to provide for his home by strenuous labor. He was paid $6 an acre for breaking prairie and also used his ox team in hauling logs. He subsequently engaged in the stock business near Rosenberg in Colorado and Fort Bend counties, and spent about six years in that vicinity with considerable profit. In 1881 he bought the Charles Gisber saloon, after the proprietor had been run out by the wild element inhabiting the river country around Ellinger. He took possession at once, and there has never been an occasion when he has not been master of every situation. Though for a period of thirty-five years he has owned a saloon, he has let the other fellows do the drinking. He tended his own bar until the gradual increase of his stock and other interests made it necessary for him to spend most of his time outside. His chief business is as a stock farmer. He has fed many hundreds of cattle, driving them to the Houston market as his father had done, and now for more than thirty-five years has been well known in Fayette County as a feeder and shipper. He owns about 400 acres around Ellinger, and 226 acres adjoin the town. This land is used primarily for the feeding of his cattle. As a farmer he operates chiefly on leased land, and gives employment to about 27 white families, comprising nearly 200 people. Some of his renters have been with him more than twenty years, and include people who have married and become grandparents while living on his land. When Mr. Meyer was a young man he signed a subscription for $100 toward the building of the railroad through Ellinger, and paid the obligation through his own labors. He has thus been identified with the town since the beginning, has dealt somewhat extensively in farm property and his is the best residence of the community. He is a director of the First State Bank of Ellinger. While formerly actively identified with politics he is now inclined to step aside in favor of younger men. In 1890 Precinct No. 1 elected him a county commissioner, and 'after two years in that office he was elected to the legislature and served one term. While in the House of Representatives he was a member of the committee on farming, stock raising and irrigation and several others. Much of his time he spent in watching the movements of other members and in exercising his vote against uncertain bills. He helped to make hog stealing a penitentiary offense, but had no pet measures of his own to advocate. On one occasion an attempt was made in the House to instruct Senator Mills as to his duty on a certain matter, but Mr. Meyer strongly resisted this resolution, since he believed that Roger Q. Mills was much superior to any man in the Texas Legislature and knew full well how to act and vote in the National Congress. On October 27, 1874, Mr. Meyer married Miss Elizabeth Ellinger, daughter of Charles Ellinger. Their children are: Elo C., who is associated with his father in business, and by his marriage to Lizzie Konni has two children, Ivy and Leslie; Adelia married Frank Fritch of LaGrange, and their children are Henry and Lucile; Lizzie married Joe Fritch of Ellinger, and they have twins, Leroy and Littleton; Lillie Bell; Henry J., a physician at Hondo, Texas, a graduate of Tulane University, and by his marriage to Cassie Holloway has two children, John H. and Walter; Hattie is the wife of Walter Sarcin of Taylor, Texas, and has a daughter Ruby Bell; Leera is the youngest of the family. Mr. Meyer is affiliated with the lodge of Independent Order of Odd Fellows at LaGrange, and also with the Knights of Honor and with the Sons of Hermann. Occasionally he takes a health recruiting trip, often visits the Dallas Fair, the Fort Worth stock shows, and is occasionally a member of a political convention. He is a man of large body, of genial nature, has hosts of friends in Fayette County, and in every relation of life has proved himself trustworthy and efficient. -- pp. 1878 -1880. | Meyer, Charles John Henry (I4763)

| 318 | A biography, from: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/biographies_e-j.htm#arthur_fricke ARTHUR FRICKE, who is successfully engaged in the general merchandise business, as a cotton buyer and produce man at Carmine, is a worthy representative of the younger business element of Fayette County. To a very considerable extent it is this element in any locality, and particularly in those outside of the large cities, which infuses energy and progress into the activities of the place. The enthusiasm of this element, whose entrance upon the arena of business life dates back not much further than a decade, which contributes the spirit and zeal which keep commercial and industrial activities in a healthy condition. A pronounced type of this class of energetic workers is Mr. Fricke. Arthur Fricke was born on his father's farm in Fayette County, near Round Top, April 1, 1884, and is a son of Fred Fricke, a sketch of whose career will be found on another page of this work. Arthur Fricke passed his boyhood and youth in the country, where his early education came from the country school, this being supplemented by a course in the commercial college at Brenham. Mr. Fricke's career was commenced in the field of education as a teacher in the district schools in Washington County and continued to be thus engaged for a period of three years, during which time he gained an excellent reputation as a capable and popular teacher. He then entered merchandise at Round Top in 1904 in partnership with Ernest Fricke, a cousin, the firm style being Fricke & Fricke. This existed until 1910, when the partnership was dissolved with the withdrawal of Arthur Fricke, who engaged next in the cotton business as a buyer for the exporting firm of the A. D. Milroy Company of Brenham and Galveston. After two years of experience secured in this line he again turned to mercantile pursuits, and in 1913 came to Carmine and bought the stock and good will of F. Eichler. Since that time the business has been conducted under the style of Arthur Fricke, general merchandise, cotton buyer and produce man. Under his capable and energetic management the business has grown and developed into one of the paying enterprises of the village and one which attracts its trade from the best class of people. The straightforwardness of his dealings is fully recognized by his fellow townsmen, and although his advent in Carmine is of but comparatively recent date, the patronage which he has already enjoyed presages a very successful future. Mr. Fricke was married in Fayette County, Texas, October 11, 1908, to Miss Irene Vogelsang, a daughter of Paul and Emma (Kraus) Vogelsang. Mr. Vogelsang is a representative of an old and honored German family of Austin County and was born near Shelby, his father having been the founder of the family in the Lone Star state. Mrs. Fricke is the third in order of birth in a family of five children, and she and Mr. Fricke are the parents of one daughter, Evelyn, four years old. Mr. Fricke is a member of the Woodmen of the World. He owns the property where he does business, as well as his own home, one of the choice residences of Carmine. -- pp. 1580 -1581. | Fricke, Arthur (I4335)

| 319 | A biography, Howard County, Missouri Biographiies, part 1 (Chariton Township, part 1) RECTOR BARTON, farmer and dealer in stock and tobacco, Glasgow. About eighteen years of Mr. BARTON's early life were devoted to mercantile pursuits. But in 1869 he located on farm where he now lives, and where he has charge of a place of 1,100 acres devoted to grain and stock raising. He was born in Linn county, Missouri, March 20, 1837. His father, Wharton R. BARTON, is an Ohioan by birth, having been born in that state in March, 1809. When he (the father) was a small boy his parents moved to Illinois, thence to St. Louis, and in that city he grew to manhood. In St. Louis he had the advantages offered by the schools of the city. Subsequently he came to this county, and in 1835 moved to Linn county, where he soon became one of the leading farmers and citizens of the county, as he was one of its first settlers. He was for a number of years sheriff, and, afterwards circuit clerk, and held various other positions of public trust. Wharton R. BARTON has been twice married; first to Miss Jane, daughter of Edward WARREN, one of the early settlers of Howard county. She died in Linn county in November, 1849, leaving six children. His second wife was formerly Mrs. Elizabeth LOCKRIDGE of this county. Her family name, before her first marriage, was ROOKER. Mr. And Mrs. BARTON have six children living. Rector BARTON, the subject of this sketch, was born of his father's first marriage, and when his mother died in 1849, he was but twelve years of age. In his boyhood days, however, he had attended school regularly, and, being of studious, industrious habits, acquired the elements of an education, so that he was qualified to begin as clerk in the mercantile business. Accordingly, he came to Glasgow and obtained a position in a dry goods house, and continued clerking, with but one year's interval, until 1862, a period of thirteen years. The following year, then being twenty-six years of age, he began business on his own account, establishing a dry goods store in Roanoke, in which, however, he continued but one year. In 1864 he went to New York, and in 1865 engaged in the tobacco and dry goods business in Mason County, Kentucky, but in the fall of the same year returned to Roanoke, this county, and resumed the dry goods business there, in which he continued four years, and until 1869, when he located on the farm where he now lives. On the 20th of May, 1860, he was married to Miss Sallie C. SAVAGE, who was born in Mason county, Kentucky, January 21, 1838. They have three children, Oswald S., Maggie M. and Jennie W. Mr. And Mrs. B. are members of the M. E. church south, and he is a member of Livingstone lodge No. 51, A. F. and A. M., and also the A.O.U.W. | Barton, Rector (I11836)

|
| 322 | A brief biography of her can be found in Maryland's Way: the Hammond-Harwood House Cookbook, on page 282. In 1873, as "Mrs. Benjamin Chew Howard," she published a cookbook entitled Fifty Years in a Maryland Kitchen. According to Maryland's Way, "Mrs. Howard was born in 1801, and died in the 90th year of her age. She was married in 1818 to Gen. Benjamin Chew Howard when she was but 17 years of age, and began to raise a family which numbered twelve children. In 1827 her husband inherited "Belvidere" from his father, John Eager Howard, and his accomplished wife became its hostess. Until 1842, when "Belvidere" was sold, Mrs. Howard received within its hospitable walls many of the leading public figures of teh country and fully maintained the high reputation which "Belvidere" had enjoyed for so long as one of the ‘foremost seats of elegant hospitality' in the country. "Mrs. Howard undertook the effort of compiling her book and was persuaded to acknowlege it authorship ‘soley for the purpose of aiding certain benevolent undertakings.' During her long life she was actively engaged in charitable work, and in 1865 was made president of the Great Southern Relief Association which held a fair in Baltimore city at which nearly $200,000 was raised for the benefit of those who lost their all in the Civil War. She was identified with almost every charitable enterprise which the ladies of Baltimore undertook, and her life was one long career of good works. "A friend wrote of her--'She possessed great earnestness of purpose, a strong and resolute mind, and unfailing energy. Her character was adorned with womanly tenderness, unaffected and simple courtesy, rare charm and uncommon beauty. She was a delightful conversationalist.' "It is not to be wondered that Mrs. Howard was a universally beloved figure in her place and time, Baltimore of the 19th century, or that her warm and competent image ramins bright in the twentieth." | Gilmor, Jane Grant (I9014)

| 343 | A few of her chiildren's documents record her birth in France, but this seems to confuse her with her husband. Most documents say Pennsylvania or Philadelphia, which given her last name seems more likely. Her maiden name appears on the death certificates for her children Frances Somerset and Caroline Blitz. I would guess from her last name, and from the fact that she's from Philadelphia in the late eighteenth century, that her ancestry is Scots-Irish, as an immense number of Scots-Irish arrived in the city, most notably in the early 1770s. This is just a guess, however; I have found nothing of her parents. There is an Ann Campbell who was born or baptized on 20 Nov. 1795 in Philadelphia at the Second Presbyterian Church; her parents were Nicholas and Ann Campbell. There are many Campbells in Philadelphia, however. Here is a possible hint about her family from a history of gardening in Germantown: “After the death of Bernard McMahon in 1816, the nursery was conducted by his widow, and before leaving Rising Sun, the last foreman with Samuel Maupay was Frederick Knapp, who came to Philadelphia from Germany. Associated with Knapp while at Maupay's was Joseph Campbell, who after opened a floral establishment upon Germantown Road in the near neighborhood.” | Campbell, Anna (I6216)

| 365 | A Joseph Fernandez, b. at. 1802, appears on a New Orleans immigration lists in 1820 traveling from Pensacola to New Orleans on the ship "Theresa." There are two people named "Joseph Fernandez" in the 1820 census. Both have white males older than him, so I assume that he's not in the 1820 census as being probably too young to be an HOH. He also might be one of these immigrants. A "Jose Fernandez" b. abt. 1804, aged 22, appears on New Orleans immigration lists in 1825 entering New Orleans. The same name appears again in 1831. In 1830 two Joseph Fernandezes appear in the census: Joseph Fernandez in the northern suburbs, and Joseph Min Fernandez in the Lower Suburbs. Joseph Min has no adult males (it's a female HOH), so this can't be him. Joseph in the Northern Suburbs has no white females under 5 (which would be Lorenza's age), but two white females 5-9, and the only white male is 40-49 (too old for him), so I don't see how this can be him either. According to the book Old New Orleans, a History of the Vieux Carre, Its Ancient and Historical Buildings by Stanley Arthur, Joseph Marie Fernandez was a contractor who built a couple of buildings in the Old Quarter in 1832 and 1834. In the 1832 City Directory there are these two entries: Fernandez, Joseph . . . cabinet maker . . . 84 St. Anne Fernandez, J. . . . . . . Bayou c. Marais In 1828 his name appears in the Notarial Archives document in the index to work by Feliz DeArmas, Notary Public. In 1833 his name appears in the Notarial Archives document in the index to work by Feliz DeArmas, Notary Public. In 1840 three J Fernandezes appear in the US census for New Orleans. "J.M. Fernandez" in the 1840 census for New Orleans is probably him. There are two males (aged 10 to 14, and aged 30 to 39) and two females (also aged 10 to 14, and 30 to 39) in the household. This is likely to be him, though I don't know who the male 10-14 would be. The other two can't be him: one, in Ward 1, has 1 male from 60-69 and 11 slaves; "J Fernandez" in Ward 2 has two men, one in 40s and one in 50s. He appears several times in the Parish Court Index for New Orleans. He is the plaintiff in a suit against creditors (7960). "Fernandez, Joseph Marie and alia" are defendants in a suit by "Plicque & Le Bean" (7676); and he is the defendant in a suite by "Cajus, J.B.; testy. Executor & al." (7578). He is also the defendant in a suit by this wife: Plaintiff: Fouque, Anne Cecile Defendant: Fernandez, Jh. M. (husband) Number: 8359 | Fernandez, Joseph Maria de Loreta (I6648)

The case was between Vera and her brothers. It seems that earlier on they had advances Vera some money, and had taken a deed to her interest in the Simpson Rance (some 700 acres in Fayette County belong orginally to g grandmother Emily Dye Simpson). Later on gas an/or oil was discoveredand the land became much more valuable. Vera & her children filed the case contending the advance of money was a loan - and that the deed was in truth a mortgage. Vera wanted to repay the money advanced and leave to deed cancelled. Her brothers said thte deed was a deed, and the money advanced as not a loan, but payment for her interest in the land. She lost the case in the District Court and also in the Court of Appeals. I am sure she is dead - but I have not gone forward with find out about Uncle Friench's folks - except for what you have. Let us hear from you, Love. | Simpson, Vera (I4165)

| 395 | A note in Calvary Episcopal Church records says “removed to Texas Miriam Maupay Girard Ave.” Event date given is “1884-1901.” She appears in city directories in Houston in 1887-1890, and in Galveston in 1893. She is living in each case with “A.R. Carter”: this would be Alfred Ross Carter (I14147), the husband of her niece Ella Amanda Maupay (I14133), the daughter of her uncle William Augustus). In 1893 William A. Maupay is also living with A.R. Carter; this could be William Augustus Sr. or Jr.—probably Jr., I’d expect. In 1891 only William A. appears with A.R. Carter in the directory in Galveston, not Miriam. She appears again in Philadelphia in the 1900 census. Her February 1919 death might have been a result of the influenza outbreak that was especially severe in Philadelphia over that winter. | Maupay, Miriam Louisa (I6220)

For evidence that she is the daughter of Richard Ewen, her sister Susannah's will mentions "brothers Richard and John Ewen, sisters Anne Ewen, Sophia, Eliza: Talbott, and Susannah Burgess, brother-in-law Thomas Billingsley, Edward Parrish and Walter Carr" (MD Calendar of Wills, vol. 1). | Ewen, Sophia (I8917)

| 397 | A notebook of his was preserved at Essex (now at the MHS), full of how to do all sorts of mathematical problems. It seems to be from when he was a young man--1810 or so? He was closely connected with the family at “Essex” because the family first wife (Catherine Waters) lived there. In 1832 he appears as the Sherriff of Anne Arundel County; see the Maryland State Archives website, Session Laws 1832, vol. 574, page 389. He lived at Marriott Hall (AA-156). Edward Marriot was the executor of his will in abt. 1864, according to a receipt (a blank one to have been used at the auction of his estate). He appears in Franklin Waters' ledger book A, fol. 218, for 1856. | Marriott, Bushrod W. (I3398)

| 404 | A Pierre Pitard married Périnne Drouadanne (daughter of Jean) on 25 Jul 1758 in Corps-Nuds. I connect that marriage to this Pierre: though the marriage record is not clear on Pierre’s parents, it’s a logical conclusion. Here is the logic: 1) no parents are named on the marriage record; presumably this is because both were deceased on 1758, and that fits this Pierre. 2) He’s a minor, which required a judge’s approval since his parents were deceased. He was 23 at the time, but the age of consent had to be 25. 3) Guillaume François Pitard, his half-brother (son of Bon’s first wife) was a witness to the marriage. 4) There aren’t that many Pierre Pitards to choose from in Corps-Nuds, and the marriage record says that the husband and wife are both from Corps-Nuds.

| 416 | A section on him, taken from the biography of his father: "Cooper, Asahel Walker, the lawyer, is a son of Asahel Walker Cooper, who was born in Lancaster County, Pa., Sept. 5, 1806, and died in New Orleans, May 22, 1883, and who was a son of a Quaker [ . . . ] Asahel Walker Cooper, who was born in New Orleans, Nov. 26, 1874, educated at Jesuit College, then took a preparatory course at Andover, Mass., and graduated from Yale College with the degree of A. B. in 1897, and in 1898 obtained his degree of LL. B. from Tulane University. He read law with the late Judge A. G. Brice and was associated with him in the practice of law until the death of Judge Brice. He now holds rank among the lawyers of New Orleans. He comes of an excellent family of New Orleans. His father was a prominent citizen of this city for many years, and numbered among that class of citizens who constituted what was known as the American colony in New Orleans. The elder Mr. Cooper was reared a Quaker, but in New Orleans was identified with the Presbyterian church. The present Asahel W. Cooper adheres to the church faith of his mother--the Roman Catholic." Here is a second biography, taken from John Kendall Smith, History of New Orleans vol. 2 (Chicago: Lewis, 1922): 823-24: "ASAHEL WALKER COOPER is a lawyer whose name has been associated with increasing distinction and service in his profession at New Orleans for over two decades. He is a native of the city and the Cooper family has lived in New Orleans for ninety years, "His father, Asahel Walker Cooper, belonged to what was known as the American Colony of New Orleans. He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, September 5, 1806, was the son of a Quaker and was reared in that faith, though in New Orleans he was identified with the Presbyterian Church. He acquired a common school education in Pennsylvania, learned the carpenter's trade as a bound apprentice at Philadelphia, and in 1830 came to New Orleans by sailing vessel. In a few years his skilled work proved the basis of an expanding business as a contractor and architect, and for many years he was one of the prosperous business men of New Orleans. He erected a large number of substantial structures in the business and residence sections of the city prior to and after the war, and continued in business until 1870. Prior to the war he acquired the Cooper Cotton Press, a noted piece of property which remained in the family possession until 1912, when it was sold to the Texas & Pacific. "The first wife of the senior Mr. Cooper was Ann Sullivan, who died in 1870, the mother of two daughters, Sarah Jane, who married Alden McLellan, Sr., and Margaret Ann, who married Thomas G.P. Tureman. In 1872 he married Eliza A. Loney, of French and Irish parentage and a native of Ontario, Canada. She died in 1910, her only child being the New Orleans lawyer. "Asahel Walker Cooper was born in New Orleans November 26, 1874, was reared a Catholic, the faith of his mother, was educated in the Jesuit College, and was then sent to New England and after attending preparatory school at Andover, Massachusetts, entered Yale University, where he was graduated with the A.B. degree in 1897. Mr. Cooper then returned to New Orleans, read law with the late Judge A.G. Brice, and received the LL. B. degree from Tulane University in 1898. Mr. Cooper was actively associated with Judge Brice until the latter's death and has always enjoyed a prosperous share in the work of his profession." | Cooper, Asahel Walker Jr. (I4554)

He appears several times more as well. Then, in 1736: "present Mary Wedge servt to Thomas Harwood for having a Malattoe Bastard," and "Lord Proprietary vs. Mary Wedge }Malatto Bastardy Convict by Confession ... cannot gainsay but that she is guilty ... be a servant for seven years ... child be a servant to thirty one ... sold unto Robert Perle for 2 pounds one shilling current money." This seems to be the end of the case. According to the introduction to the section of hte website on Maryland, "Mary Wedge of Prince George's County had at least five children between 1727 and 1738." Her relationship therefore seems to have been a long-standing one. She seems to have been a white woman. This is a fascinating website for the primary sources it collects. | Harwood, Thomas (I5257)

| 433 | A. Warfield (pub 1905) just gives this: "The issue of Major Henry Hall by his second wife Elizabeth Lansdale, were: First. Edward—Martha Duckett. Issue, Eleanor W.[,] Priscilla, Henrietta, Richard, Captain John, and Thomas" (99). [Second, Isaac; Third, Margaret; Fourth, William] This is Edward who was b. 1735 B. Hall gives this (pub 1941, p159): "Issue of Edward Hall, born May, 1714, married Martha Duckett, 1738. Died 1744: —Edward Hall, married Mary Sprigg; —John Hall, married Achsah Marriott, daughter Augustine Marriott. —Jane Hall —Sarah Hall, married Edward Yeahall" The will of Edward Hall composed 1743, is printed in Hall on p100, naming him the 4th son of Rev. Henry Hall; these four chiildren are named in the will. No wife's name is not mentioned in the will. Jane and Sarah are as yet unmarried. C. In Whitley (pub 1947, p12): Martha Duckett, twin of Rachel: b. 8-14-1716; m. 1 Rignal Odell; m. 2 Edward Hall. D. Generic "Marriage records" on Ancestry say that Martha Duckett b. 1716 married Reginal Odell in 1754, but where this is from is not clear. That would be awfully late for a first marriage, if this is to match Whitley. E. In Newman MDoMP says that Edward Hall never married Martha Duckett. Edward Hall b. 1714 married Mary Belt, not Martha Duckett: "Thomas John Hall in his book p. 159 erroneously states that Edward Hall married Martha Duckett and gives a list of Halls who are in no manner descended from the Rev. Mr. Hall. The above document proves definitely that anne became the sole heiress" (402 n.). "This document" is a convenyance by Ann Hall daughter of Edward of property "originally called Parrott's Thickett but was afterwards resurveeyed and called Parrott's Manor lying and being in Prince George's County on the West side of the Patuxent River containing 300 acres Devised in Tail by the last will and testament of Henry Hall late of St. James' Parish, Clerk, in Anne Arundel County unto his sone Edward Hall Reference being had unto said Will which said land has by descent become the right and property of the said Anne Griffith the daughter and only child of the said Edward Hall" (402). In his will the Rev. Henry Hall had left "Parrott's Manor" to his son Edward (Hall, p98; transcribed as "Panot's Manor"). F. Doliante (pub 1991, p143) says that Martha Duckett b. Mar. 17, 173_[8 or 9?]; living 1785, married as her second husband June 14, 1764, Q.A.'s Parish, Edward Hall, said to have been son of Henry and Elizabeth (Lansdale) Hall.

(secondly) 11th May, 1635, Mary MAINWARING, 2d dau. of Roger MAINWARING, Doctor of Divinity and Dean of Worcester, and Bishop of St. Davids; she d. 29th November, 1663. Robert Brooke immigrated to America, and arrived in Maryland, 30th June, 1650, with his second wife, Mary, ten children, and twenty-eight servants, all transported at his own cost. He and his sons Baker and Thomas took the oath of fidelity to the Proprietary, 22d July, 1650. At London, 20th September, 1649, a commission had been issued to him as Commander of a County to be newly erected, and on the same day a separate commission as member of the Council of Maryland. A new County called Charles was erected, and he was constituted its Commander, 30th October, 1650. Was head of Provisional Council of Maryland, under the Cromwellian Government, from 29th March to 3d July, 1652. Member of the Council and Commander of Charles Co. until 3d July, 1654. Settled on the Patuxent at De la Brooke. In 1652 removed to Brooke Place, adj. De la Brooke." According to Cope, This couple "with their ten children and twenty-eight servants came to Charles Co., Maryland, June 25, 1650. The settled near the Pautexent, and was appointed ‘Commander' of Charles County, and afterward president of hte council of Maryland." There are MANY other descendants of this family which I have not recorded. I have recorded two lines: one from this Robert's from this Robert's first wife Mary Baker (via Thomas) to Catherine Murdoch Brooke, who married Isaac Lansdale III; and a second from this Robert's second wife Mary Mainwaring (via Roger) leading to Hannah, Sarah, and Mary Brooke, who married key founders of Triadelphia in Isaac Briggs, Caleb Bentley, and Thomas Moore.

After Edwards Smith Fayssoux's death, the family left the Arsenal. Peter Simons Fayssoux's grave was removed many years ago from a Philadelphia burying ground to the Leiper Presbyterian Churchyard near Swarthmore, PA. His widow, Rebekah (Irvine) Fayssoux spent her last years with her daughters, Mrs. Thomas Sumter Mills and Mrs. Samuel J. Randell, in Chester, SC., where she is buried in Evergreen Cemetery." | Fayssoux, Peter Simons Jr. (I3105)

| 522 | According to Acadians in Gray, "René Jean Baptiste, son of Pierre Hacker and Marie Louise Mahe-Desportas of New Orleans, married Émile Léocade, daughter of Samuel Charles Meyer and widow of Ursin Gonsoulin, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in December 1835. They crossed the Atchafalaya Basin and moved to the New Iberia area, where they raised a large family. The New Iberia priests tended to call René Jean Baptiste an Achée or Haché, but he was neither." There is a Hacker St. in New Iberia, apparently. He died, with his daughter Leocade, and a nephew un-named in newspaper reports, in the burning of the steamer "Gipsy”; see an image here: http://steamboattimes.com/images/artwork/giantsteamboats_hippolytesebron1600x1100.jpg. I assume that this nephew was his sister Amelie's son Octave Florian Pitard, who would be the same age as this nephew, described as a "lad of 13" in contemporary newspaper accounts. Newspapers says that the fire occurred on a wharf on the Mississippi at the “mouth of the New River” or at “New River Landing.” The New River doesn’t empty into the Mississippi any more; according to Wikipedia, “Before the levees were built to contain the Mississippi River, the New River was a distributary and a much larger river than it is today.” It entered a few miles south of Placquemine in Ascension Parish. The “lad” is probably Octave Florian Pitard, b. 1841, his nephew (son of his sister Marguerite) who would have been about that age. He appears in an episode of Who Do You Think You Are as the GGG Grandfather of actor Jim Parsons. The episode (Season 4, Ep. 8) mentions a tribute notice by the social group the “Cannoniers” appeared after his death in the Southern Sentinel. It’s not clear where the newspaper was published, though the tagline is “Plaquemine,” the county seat of Iberville Parish. Some discussion of the episode can be found on Ancestry.com’s blog, here: http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2013/09/11/jim-parsons-finds-storied-ancestors-from-new-orleans-to-versailles/. Another is on the blog Ancestral Discoveries, here: http://ancestraldiscoveries.blogspot.com/2013/09/who-do-you-think-you-are-jim-parsons.html. | Hacker, Dr. Jean Baptiste (I9592)

| 523 | According to Siebermacher's Wappenbuch, "Ein Sohn erster Ehe: Otto meldete sich 1620 bei der Kurländischen Rittererbank, musste aber damals wegen nichtgenügender Adelsbeweisen abgewiesen werden und erlangte erst laut Ritterbankabschied vom 2. Angust 1631 die Eintragung in die Kurlandische Adelsmatrikel sub Nr. 93 (94 der heutigen Matrikel) und zwar bei classe II (,,Familien, so ihren Adel durch Siegel und Briefe, d. h. durch Urkunden bewiesen haben"); "A son of [Otto Blomberg's] first marriage, Otto [Hahnebohm], registered with the Kurlandisch Ritterbank in 1620, but had to be rejected at the time because of insufficient proof of nobility and, according to Ritterbank, only obtained entry into the Kurlandisch Register of Nobles on 2 August 1631 under No. 93 (94 in today's register), and then in class II ('families that have proven their nobility by rules and letters, i.e. by documents')." About the Adelsmatrikel in general, see the Wikipedia article about the "Baltic Knighthoods." "Rosenberg" is one of the Kurland families. These are the families whose genealogies appear in the Kurland Ritterschafts Archiv. | von Rosenberg, Otto Hahnebohm (I3203)

| 526 | According to a history of Lancaster County, Pa., "Lewis Walker, one of the descendants, became a follower of George Fox, who was at this period establishing the Quaker or Friends Society, and thereby was disowned by his kinsmen and ancestry, and in every manner separated from them in social, secular, and religious interests, and deprived of all government honors heretofore inherited or possessed; or, in the language of a follower of George Fox, ‘he laid down these honors conferred by government.' He left his mother-country about 1684, settling at or near Valley Forge, Chester Co., purchasing from William Penn (his particular friend and companion and co-worker in establishing the doctrines of the Society of Friends or Quakers) one thousand acres of land, continuing to pursue his original occupation, that of husbandry, in a style much like his ancestors of England." He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. This is about one of his descendants: "William Thomas, the father of Sarah (Thomas) Anderson [. . .] was the second child and eldest son of Reese and Priscilla (Jarman) Thomas, and was born in the old Thomas "Mansion House" erected by his father, July 8, 1762, and lived there all his life. He married, April 5, 1768, Naomi Walker, born February 17, 1765, died May 4, 1817, daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Thomas) Walker, granddaughter of Isaac and Sarah (Jarman) Walker, and great-granddaughter of Lewis Walker, who had come from Merionethshire, Wales, in 1687, [. . .] removed to Tredyffrin township, Chester county [. . .] Here Lewis Walker died in the winter of 1728-9, his will dated December 14, 1728, being proven January 24, 1728-9. He had married at Haverford Meeting, April 27, 1693, Mary Morris, a native of Wales, who is said to have crossed the ocean in the same ship with him. She died in 1747." | Walker, Lewis (I4548)

| 546 | According to an IRS lawsuit following the divorce from her husband: Calvin H. Sugg, hereinafter called the petitioner, married Inis H. Sugg, his former wife, on August 1, 1920. They were married in California, and lived there until January of 1926. when they moved to Irion County, Texas. They lived there until June of 1927, when they returned to California. Since June of 1927. Inis Sugg has lived in California. There are two children of that union, Eleanor and Marion born August 7, 1921, and December 6. 1924. respectively. In 1928 Calvin Sugg and Inis Sugg separated permanently. On January 25, 1929. petitioner filed a suit for divorce against Inis Sugg in the District Court of Irion County, Texas. She did not contest the divorce suit. The District Court entered final judgment in the divorce proceeding on February 26, 1929. There was no appeal taken. The decree became final and remains in full force. The judgment dissolved the marriage and granted a divorce to petitioner. The divorce decree was brief. It made no mention of or reference to alimony, to the disposition of property, community or other property of the parties, or to the custody and support of the two children. In the 1930 census she is HOH, and she is not living with her husband, though Sugg is her last name. No-one in the household is given a profession. There is a housekeeper living there, Harriet Salinger, aged 53, born in New Hampshire. According to the IRS suit, “Inis Sugg remarried on November 14, 1936,” though her second husband’s name is not mentioned. California Death Records have an Inis Kinsey, b. 22 Aug. 1898 in Indiana and d. 1 Aug. 1965 in LA County, CA. Her mother was born _________ Hutton. | Hubbard, Inis Hutton (I5153)

| 549 | According to Baldwin, "The earliest traceable ancestor was Richard Wawen of Staindrop in Yorkshire (Wawen, Wawne, and Woane being some of the variant spellings which are seen in the early records). Nearby, in the parish of Chipping, co. Lancaster, was the prominent Waln family of Thornley, which can be traced back at least to the early 15th century [see the Victoria County History of Lancashire, under Chipping], and it is reasonable to speculate that there was some kind of relation, but the connection, if any, has not been found. First generation: Richard Wawen, of Staindrop, in the township of Newton in Bolland, and parish of Slaidburn, Yorkshire, husbandman, is known only from his will, which was written 5 July 1605, and proved at York on 12 Sep 1610. [Will in York registry, vol. 31, p. 418, FHL film #99497] The name of his wife is not known. In addition to his wife and children, he had two illegitimate sons by a woman whose first name is not recorded, but whose last name was presumably Procter. He left one third of his estate to his wife, one third to his legitimate children, and the other third to his two illegitimate sons. There seems to have been some concern on his part that his children might challenge the will, as he made provisions against such a possibility. Children of Richard Wawen, by his unnamed wife: 1. Richard Wawen, md. Jennett. 2. daughter, md. William Sharples. 3. Katherine Wawen, md. 17 Sep 1598, Bolton by Bowland, Yorkshire, Richard Swinlehurst. Illegitimate children of Richard Wawen (presumably by a Miss Procter): +4. Nicholas Wawen alias Procter, d. July/Oct 1648, md. Jane 5. Thomas Wawen alias Procter, of Slainmerow, co. York, bur. 30 May 1635, Slaidburn, co. York. The will of Thomas Wawne of Slainmayraw in Bolland, Yorkshire, bachelor, written 3 December 1634, proved 1 October 1635, mentioned, among others, his brother Nicholas Wawne, executor; Jane and Elizabeth Wawne, daughters of his half-brother Richard Wawne; the (unnamed except for a son Richard) children of William Sharples by his half-sister; the children of Richard Swinlhurst by another half sister; Jennett and Issabell Wawne, daughters of his brother Nicholas Wawne, and Richard his son; Jennett, wife of Richard Wawne; and Jane, wife of Nicholas Wawne. [Will in York registry, vol. 42, p. 663; FHL film #99518]." | Wawen, Richard (I10936)
|
| 550 | According to Baldwin, "Nicholas Waln (also spelled Wawen/Woane/Wallne) alias Procter, of Hey Heade, or Slainmerow, in the forest of Bolland, parish of Slaidburn, Yorkshire, d. July/Oct 1648, md. Jane _____, who d. 6 8mo. (Oct) 1669, Settle MM, Yorkshire. He does not appear to have actively used the alias of Procter, as that part of his name is known only from his father's will. His will (as Nicholas Woane), written 29 July 1648, proved 26 Oct 1648 [Original Will, Exchequer Court of the Archbishop of York, FHL film #99556], mentioned his wife Jane, his son Richard, daughters Issabell and Jenet, and son-in-law William Torner [wife not named, but possibly the above Jenet]. Children of Nicholas Waln (presumably by his wife Jane): +1. Richard Waln, d. 7 2mo. [Apr] 1659, md. Jane Rudd. 2. Isabell Waln, bap. 23 Nov 1634, Slaidburn, md. 6 1 Imo. [Jan] 1666/7, Settle MM, Jonathan Scott. 3. Jennett Waln, living 1648 (same as #4?). 4. dau. (same as Jenet??) md. William Torner." | Waln, Nicholas (I10935)
