Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Who is Your "Bad Behavior" Relative?

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!



Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music):

1)  Who is one of your relatives (ancestor or not) who behaved poorly during his or her life?   It can be any time period.

2)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a comment on Facebook or Google+.

Here's one of mine:

Charles Auble (1849-1916) was my great-grandfather, husband of Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952) and father to my maternal grandmother, Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977).  


Great-grandpa Charlie apparently lied to Georgianna throughout their courting in Chicago and marriage in Milwaukee,. Wisconsin.  He said he was born in October 1864 (age 35) in the 1900 U.S. Census, was age 54 in the 1910 U.S. Census, and his date of birth is listed as 31 October 1854 on his death certificate.

By family accounts, Charlie was fond of strong drink.  So much so that he fell down the stairs in the house at 767 F Street in San Diego and ruptured his gall bladder, then lingered bed-ridden for  three months before he died, leaving a wife and 15 year old daughter to remember him not so fondly.  Charlie is buried in an unmarked plot in Mount Hope Cemetery in San Diego.  

Charlie was a painter and interior decorator - I think it was probably painting houses and fences and things, rather than art, because he was a member of the Painter's Union in Chicago and San Diego.  I can't find any newspaper items about Charlie in the San Diego newspapers on GenealogyBank about him, other than an obituary and several listings as an election official in April 1916 (but he died 23 March 1916).  


I have a very recognizable memento from great-grandpa Charlie - my hairline!

This Week's We're Related Relationships - 24 February 2017

I received 10 new cousin relationships on the We're Related mobile app over the last week, which is based on Ancestry Member Trees.  The new relationships, and my initial evaluation of them, are:

1)  Diane Boumenot -- Facebook friend, 8th cousin 1x removed, common ancestor is Jacob Warren (1642-1722).

Jacob Warren (1642-1722) is not my ancestor.  My line on the app goes through Abigail "Warren" (1714-????) and her daughter, Hannah Colby.  There has always been confusion over Abigail's maiden name - I believe that it was Worthen, not Warren.  She was the daughter of Ezekiel Worthen (1672-1755) and Abigail Carter, and she married Joseph Colby (1707-1768).  

Diane's line goes through Abigail Warren (1682-1768), who married a Spaulding.  My judgment is that this relationship is Very Unlikely.  

2)  Alec Baldwin - Actor, 9th cousin, common ancestor is Mary Felt (1669-1753).



The app thinks that Mary Felt was the mother of Josiah Wood (1687-1753).  My research indicates that Josiah Wood's parents are Josiah Wood (1658-1741) and Abigail Bacon (1667-1743) of Woburn, Mass.

Alec's line is through James Wood (1695-1799), son of Josih Wood and Mary Felt of Connecticut.  There was more than one contenporaaneous Josiah Woods in New England.  My judgment is that this relationship is Very Unlikely.

3)  Lana Leggett Kealey -- Facebook friend, 7th cousin 2x removed, common ancestor is Anna Maria Newin (1687-1727).

The app has Anna Newin as the mother of Henry Carringer (????-????) and the grandmother of my 4th great-grandfather, Martin Carringer.  I have no proof that Henry is the father of Martin yet after 29 years of searching.  I have seen records that Henry's parents were Emig Geringer and Anna Newin.

Lana's line goes back to Anna Newin through Anna Barbara Kiesel (1707-1770); Anna apparently married George Friedrich Kiesel (1679-1762).  My judgment is that this relationship is Unlikely.

4)  Linda Little - Facebook friend, 9th cousin, common ancestor is Francis West (1640-1692).

My line to Francis West goes through Susanna West (1666-1756), who married Moses Barber.  Linda's line to Francis West goes through Martha West (1675-1764), who married Jeremiah Fones.  I have Martha's marriage in my database.  My judgment is that this relationship is Very Likely.

5)  Peggy Baldwin -- Facebook friend, 9th cousin, common ancestor is Teuwis Abrahamsen Van Duersen (1631-1692).

My line to the Van Duersen line goes through my 2nd great-grandfather, Devier James Lamphier Smith (1839-1894) who was adopted, and I don't know his birth parents.  My judgment is that this relationship is Very Unlikely.

6)  Hugh Hefner -- Playboy, 8th cousin 2x removed, common ancestor is Mary Gibson (1625-1658).



My line to Mary Gibson goes through Sarah Woodward (1643-1706), daughter of George Woodward (1619-1676) of Watertown, Mass.  Hugh's line goes through Daniel Woodward (1653-1713), son of George Woodward and Mary Gibson, and brother to my Sarah.  My judgment is that this relationship is Very Likely.

7)  Kelvin Meyers - Facebook friend, 9th cousin, common ancestor is Mercy Prence (1631-1711).

My line to Mercy Prence goes through Bennett Freeman (1671-1716), daughter of Mercy and John Freeman (1626-1719).  Kelvin's line goes through Nathaniel Freeman (1669-1760), son of John and Mercy (Prence) Freeman, and bortyher to my Bennett Freeman.  My judgment is that this relationship is Very Likely.

8)  Laura Lorenzana -- Facebook friend, 8th cousin, common ancestor is Abraham Tucker (1653-1725).

My line to Abraham Tucker goes through Content Tucker (1695-1738), wife of Benjamin Wing.  Laura's line to Abraham goes though Mary Tucker (1684-1769), who married Joseph Russell.  Mary and Content had different mothers.  My judgment is that this relationship is Very Likely.

9)  Jo Ann Bonner -- Facebook friend, 9th cousin, common ancestor is Susannah Waters (1630-1725).

My line on the app goes through John Terrell (1680-1748) of Somerset, England.  I don't know who his parents are, but I know that Susannah Waters was born in Virginia, and she is probably not John's mother.  Jo Ann's line goes through Timothy Terrell (1705-1763), apparently born in Virginia.  In addition, for the line to be correct on the app, Susannah Waters would have been age 75 when Timothy was born.  My judgment is that this relationship is Very Unlikely.  

10)  Blake Lively -- Actress, 9th cousin, common ancestor is William Terrell (1659-1743).

My line on the app goes through John Terrell (1680-1748) of Somerset, England. (see above!).  Blake's line goes through Anne Elizabeth Terrell (1687-1734), born and died in Virginia, daughter of William Terrell and Susannah Waters, who married a Lewis.  My judgement is that this relationship is Very Unlikely.

My count is up to 169 famous or Facebook cousins provided by the app.  This week, my judgment is that only 4 of the 10 cousin relationships are Likely or better.

I will say it again:  My biggest problem with this We're Related app is that it thinks it knows my ancestral lines better than I do, and adds one to five generations to some of my end-of-line ancestors.  The second biggest problem is that many of the lines of the famous or Facebook persons have colonial lines that jump from one region to another, as with the Terrell lines.

The app may be right -- I don't know for sure -- and I can't really find out because the app provides no source material to back up their assertions.  If there was authoritative information for my end-of-line ancestors, I would add it.  None of the "Unlikely" or "Wrong" relationships have been convincing to me yet.

New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday, 24 February 2017

I received this information from Findmypast today:

===============================================

New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday

Over 455,000 new records are available to search this Findmypast Friday, including;

Northamptonshire Baptisms

These records have been transcribed by the Northamptonshire Family History Society from parish registers found at the Northamptonshire Record Office and cover the years 1559 through to 1901

The level of detail found each transcript may vary although most will include a combination of your ancestor’s baptism date, baptism place, the names of both parent’s, document reference, page and entry number. 

Northamptonshire, Northampton General Hospital Admissions 1774-1846

The Northampton General Hospital was founded in 1744 by Dr James Stonhouse and supported by local benefactors who paid for patient’s treatments through subscriptions. Today, the Northampton General Hospital is still providing healthcare as part of the NHS Trust.

This collection consists of over 126,000 transcripts of original admission registers held by the Northamptonshire record office. These transcripts will not only allow you to discover whether your ancestors were admitted to the hospital, but also when they were admitted, why they were admitted and the year they were discharged. Most records will also reveal the nature of your ancestor’s ailment and the outcome of their treatment.

United States Marriages

Over 54,000 records covering more than 1,800 counties have been added  to our collection of United States marriage records including substantial updates from Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee.

52 Ancestors - Week 164: #237 Mary (Kent) Cutter (1726-????) of Woodbridge, New Jersey

Here is my 52 Ancestors biography for week #164:

Mary Kent (1724-????)   is #237 on my Ahnentafel List, my 5th great-grandmother, who married #236 William Cutter (1722-1780) in about 1744 in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey.

I am descended through:

*  their son, #118 Stephen Cutter (1745-1823), who married #119 Tabitha Randolph (1752-1841) before 1769.
*  their daughter, #59 Sarah Cutter (1785-1878), who married #58 William Knapp (1775-1856) in about 1804.
*  their daughter, #29 Sarah Knapp (1818-????), who married #28 David Auble (1817-1894) in 1844.
*  their son, #14 Charles Auble (1849-1916), who married #15 Georgianna Kemp (1858-1952) in 1898.
*  their daughter #7 Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977) who married #6 Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976) in 1918.
* their daughter #3 Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002), who married #2 Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983), in 1942.
*  their son #1 Randall J. Seaver (1943-....)

 =====================================================

1)  PERSON (with source citations as indicated in brackets):


*  Name:                         Mary Kent[1]   
*  Sex:                             Female   
  
2)  INDIVIDUAL EVENTS (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
  
*  Birth:                          about 1724, probably Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey, United States   
*  Death:                        Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey, United States   
  
3)  SHARED EVENTS (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
  
*  Spouse 1:                   William Cutter (1722-1780)   
*  Marriage 1:                before 1744 (before about age 20), Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey, United States[1]

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

Mary Kent's parents are unknown.  It is possible that she was the daughter of Stephen Kent, and the granddaughter of another Stephen Kent who resided in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey. However, there are no records to prove this supposition.

She was probably born between 1722 and 1726, since she had her first child in 1745.  

Mary Kent married William Cutter in about 1744, probably in Middlesex County, New Jersey.  They had eight children born between 1745 and 1765, all in Woodbridge, New Jersey[1].

There are no death or burial records for Mary (Kent) Cutter.  It is likely that she is buried in the First Presbyterian Church Churchyard in Woodbridge near her husband, who died in 1780.
 
5)  SOURCES:

NOTE:  Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge:  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  I have extended this theme in 2017 to 208 Ancestors in 208 Weeks.

Seavers in the News -- Charles H. Seaver Dies in His Hotel Room

It's time for the next installment of Seavers in the News.  This is a fairly random selection - a Seaver makes a newspaper, and I try to figure out what else I know about this person in the news.

This week's entry is from the Edwardsville [Illinois] Intelligencer newspaper dated 21 November 1908, on page 3.


The transcription of this article is:

"Traveling Man Found Dead.

"Zanesville, O., Nov. 21 -- Seated upright in a chair by the side of his bed, the body of Charles H. Seaver, a traveling salesman of Jackson, Mich., was found in a room of his hotel in this city.  Death probably was caused by heart disease."

The source citation for this article is:

"Traveling Man Found Dead," Edwardsville [Illinois] Intelligencer, 21 November 1908, Page 3, column 5, Charles H. Seaver death notice; Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 23 February 2017), Newspapers and Publications collection.

Who was Charles H. Seaver?  I have 29 persons in my database identified as a Charles H. (or an H middle name) Seaver.  Only one was residing in Jackson county, Michigan in the 1900 U.S. census, and he has 1908 as a death date on his gravestone seen on Find A Grave.

Charles H. Seaver (1840-1908) was born January 1840 in New York, the son of Alonzo D. and Sophiah Asbury (Fuller) Seaver.  He married Eulalia Hayes (1850-1930) in about 1868 in New York, and they had six children (Cora, Cota, Lorena, Bertha, Jessie, and one more) between 1870 and 1886.  In the 1900 U.S. census, his occupation is listed as a salesman.

This newspaper article provided an approximate death date and death place for my database.  Every little bit helps, doesn't it?

1646 Birth Record of Nathaniel Whitney (1646-1733) in Watertown, Mass: -- Treasure Chest Thursday Post #353

This week's treasure is the 1646 birth record of Nathaniel Whitney, son of John and Ruth (Reynolds) Whitney, in the Watertown, Massachusetts town records:


The birth record:



The transcription of the birth record is:

"[1646] B Nathanell whetny the Sonn of
John & Ruth whetny borne the
1 d - 12 m"

Note that "1646" is at the top of the page.  February was the 12th month, so Nathaniel was born 1 February 1646/7.  Note also the old-style "h" which is fairly unique - in "Nathanell," "Ruth," "the."  But not in "John" or "whetny" for some reason.  

The source citation for this record is:

Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988, digital images, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 8 July 2014), "Watertown Births, Marriages and Deaths," page 19 (image 128 of 3991), Nathanell Whetny birth entry; citing original data from Massachusetts town and city clerk records in Jay and Delene Holbrook, Massachusetts Vital and Town Records (Provo, Utah : Holbrook Research Institute), Microfiche collection.

Nathaniel Whitney was the third child and second son of John Whitney (1621-1692) and Ruth Reynolds (1623-1706).  He married Sarah Hagar (1651-1722) in Watertown in 1674, and they had 8 children between 1676 and 1700.  I am descended from their son, William Whitney (1683-1719).

Nathaniel and Sarah (Hagar) Whitney are my 7th great-grandparents.

Dear Randy: How Do You Update All Your Online Trees?

Genea-Musings reader Joan asked in email:  "I have often wondered how you update all your trees on the different programs you use.  Since Family Tree Maker is the only one that presently syncs with Ancestry and you have said that your main tree is on RootsMagic, I can't imagine that you re-enter all your data by hand for each one. Do you create a new GEDCOM  or tree file every time?"

My response was:


I don't update my online trees very often.  I occasionally add a family to my July 2014 Ancestry tree, or I create a new Ancestry tree for a specific family line in order to get Hints for that line.  Same for MyHeritage - my tree there is from 2011.  I have a tree on Findmypast also, and it generates some Hints.  


I do add data into FamilySearch Family Tree from RootsMagic, and often add content to RootsMagic from the FSFT.  I submitted some ancestral family data to WikiTree, Geni and WeRelate years ago, but not the entire database.  I don't update the information on those trees, unless there is an error.

The purpose of the online trees is twofold:

1) To create Hints so I can add content to my RootsMagic database.  I work through Hints almost every day and add content and sources to the RootsMagic database.  Ancestry is still providing Hints to my 2014 tree - 10 to 100 new Hints a day for several persons in the tree - they don't do them all at once.  MyHeritage did all the Record Matches for all of my tree persons some time ago, and they occasionally update them when they add new databases.  I'm working through the MyHeritage Matches one database at a time. 

2)  To serve as cousin bait so that other researchers might find information and, hopefully, be willing to share information with me about their ancestral family lines.  Since I have over 4,500 Seaver persons in my online family trees, many of the queries I get via email and blog comments are for Seaver persons.  This gives me an opportunity to share information about their Seaver line, and often they share descendant information and correct errors I might have about their ancestral families. This occurs less often for my other ancestral surnames like Carringer, Vaux, Auble, Dill and Buck. 

When RootsMagic can synchronize my tree with an Ancestry Member Tree, then I will upload a new tree and sync with it, but I will keep my older Hint tree because it is still sprouting Hints.  I plan to use RootsMagic as my master tree software program, at least until something better comes along.  If I can search Ancestry from within RootsMagic and easily capture the record image, that will be a big help, although I don't want to crap up the RootsMagic tree with Ancestry source citations.  

I would also welcome the ability to sync my RootsMagic tree with my MyHeritage tree, with my Findmypast tree, with Geni, with WikiTree, etc.  Ideally, there would be one button to push to update all of the online family trees with my RootsMagic tree.  I won't hold my breath for that capability since it is probably years away.

At some time, I anticipate that RootsMagic and other genealogy software programs will be available for a yearly fee in the Cloud on the Internet.  I will move to the cloud-based program when the features are equal or better than the current desktop software programs.
