Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Hallowe'en Memories and Family History

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, please!):

1) This only the second Saturday Night Genealogy Fun about Hallowe'en for some reason.  Since it's Hallowe'en...


2)  What are your Hallowe'en memories from childhood or adulthood.  How did you celebrate the day?  Do you have any photographs?

3)  What about haunted houses?  Are there any in your family history?  Black cats?  Creepy neighbors?  Or witches - are there any in your family history? 

4)  Tell us all about it in a blog post of your own, in comments on this blog post, or in a post on Facebook or Google+.  Be sure to link to them in a comment on this blog post.

Here's mine:

I'm too old (or too senile) to remember favorite Hallowe'en costumes, parties, carnivals or pranks from my childhood. I do have one Hallowe'en costume photo - but I'm not in costume (except as a teenager):


That's my brother Scott in the lion costume in about 1960.  Note my flattop haircut - that's me on the left.

I don't recall spooky places in my neighborhood, although the house that Austin and Della   Carringer built at 2115/2119 30th Street in about 1895 in San Diego, that I grew up in, might qualify.  There were little nooks and crannies, and a crawl space beneath the house that I never visited.  We always had cats, but they were usually gray, not black, and were often flattened on 30th or Fern Streets. No bats. No scarecrows in the city. My grandmother served Squirt! as a drink, not a magic potion.

I have hoped for visions or dream(s) with ghosts or messages (even obscure hints would be nice!) from my brick wall ancestors (Thomas J. Newton,  Hannah (Smith) Sawtell, John Richman, William Knapp, Ranslow Smith, etc.) giving me leads to their parentage - but, alas, either my tweeter and snoozer aren't working or these elusive ancestors are happy staying hidden from me.

Ah, a witch! There is one person in my ancestry who was hanged as a convicted Salem witch -- my 9th great-grandmother Rebecca (Towne) Nurse was accused in 1692 and hanged after a trial in Salem. I visited the Francis and Rebecca Nurse house in Danvers MA back in 2004 and it was an interesting place to visit and see - especially the house itself with period furnishings and a docent who told stories about the house and the family.  But then, she wasn't really a witch - just accused of being one. She was found not guilty by the jury, but the magistrate sent them back to reconsider.

More Hallowe'en Name Whacking

Finding Hints by Person or Surname on Findmypast

I have written several posts about getting and using Hints on Findmypast.com - see:

*  First Look at FindMyPast Hints in My Tree (5 January 2015)
*  Checking Out My Findmypast Family Tree Hints (24 June 2015)

1)  I checked my Findmypast family tree today, which has about 42,920 persons in it, and there are many more Hints than the last time I checked.  Here is a view of my Findmypast family tree.  The number of Hints for each person are in the orange circles on each profile icon:


If I want to see all of my Hints on Findmypast, I can click on the orange "Hints" button at the top of the screen above.  When I do that, the Hints page shows that I have 18,283 Hints:


I don't want to look at those one Hint at a time.  I could look at them one person at a time from the tree or from the orange Hint number on the person's name on the screen above.

2)  There is a Filter search field below the database title on the screen above that says "Search by surname."  I put "richman" in the filter search field and saw:


I thought that would be more manageable for me - to concentrate on one surname, but I don't think I'll use it much.  That leaves the Hints for a specific person.

3)  I clicked on the orange Hint indicator for the first Hint above, and easily saw the six Hints for John Richman (1788-1867):


4)  My preference is that Hints be provided by record collection - in other words, all of the Hints for a census collection (e.g., 1851 England and Wales), a marriage record collection (e.g., England Marriages), a burial collection (e.g., Billion Graves), etc.  I find that reviewing them one collection at a time is the most efficient way to review and utilize the records that I have missed adding to my family tree.

I hope that Findmypast will add a feature that can search for Hints by record collection, rather than by person or surname.

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 96: #118 Stephen Cutter (1745-1823)

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 am extending this theme in 2015 to 104 Ancestors in 104 Weeks. Here is my ancestor biography for week #96:

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

 The sketch for Stephen Cutter provided below is taken entirely from History of the Cutter Family of New England, by Dr. Benjamin Cutter, published in 1871[1].

"Stephen Cutter and Tabitha Randolph were married by Dr. Azel Roe, pastor of First Church, Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey.  Stephen was a good man, read his Bible every day, and on Sundays spent all his time reading it, but never quoted it in ordinary conversation.  It was too sacred, he said, for outside use.  All men spoke well of him but one, just enough to save him from the curse pronounced against those of whom all men speak well.

"In the Revolutionary War a party of British soldiers from Staten Island came up the creek in the night, and made Mr. Cutter a prisoner. He narrowly escaped being thrown overboard in the middle of the Sound, between the mainland and the island, for refusing to row.  The enemy found Mrs. Cutter an obstinate rebel.  Some soldiers entered her house and shamefully abused her.  They damaged her furniture and created disorder, and finally taking her dinner pot off the fire, strewed the contents over the floor.  This she never forgave.  She allowed no one afterwards to speak in favor of the English in her presence, without giving her sentiments and relating her experience with Englishmen, and with soldiers in particular."

Stephen Cutter and Tabitha Randolph were probably married before 1768, since their first child was born in about 1769.  They had eleven children, all born between 1769 and 1793 in Woodbridge, where Stephen lived out his life.  

The book Index of the Official Records of the Officers and Men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War lists Stephen Cutter on page 32, with a reference to a page 565 of some book[3].  There are no service records or muster rolls available online for Stephen Cutter's service.

Stephen Cutter's widow, Tabitha (Randolph) Cutter,  made an affidavit in 1840 support of a Revolutionary War Pension for Abraham Johnson.  The affidavit includes this sentence:

"Personally appeared the subscriber Tabitha Cutter widow of Stephen Cutter a Revolutionary War soldier who being duly sworn under oath saith that during the Revolutionary War she was intimately acquainted with Abraham Johnson..."

Stephen Cutter's name appears on tax lists in Woodbridge for 1779 and 1784-1787[4-8].  

He is listed in the list of 1791-1795 Middlesex County militia list of Revolutionary War veterans who are buried in First Presbyterian Churchyard[9].

His name appears on the Woodbridge tax lists for 1817 to 1819[10-12].

Stephen Cutter died 20 June 1823 in Woodbridge, and is buried in the First Presbyterian Churchyard[2,13-14].  Stephen is in Section 1, plot number 4; the inscription says:

"Stephen Cutter June 20, 1823, in 76th year."  

Tabitha is in plot number 5, with the inscription of:

"Tabitha Cutter, wid. of Stephen Cutter, d. 26 Nov. 1841, in 89th year."

Stephen Cutter's will was written on 17 June 1823, and was proved in Middlesex County Surrogate's Court by the executors, William Cutter and Samuel Cutter[15].  The will transcript is:

"In the Name of God, Amen. I, Stephen Cutter of the Township of Woodbridge in the County of Middlesex and State of New Jersey being of sound mind and memory, do enable and publish this for my last Will and Testament in manner and form following that is to say.

"First, I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Tabitha all my personal or moveable estate, a certain Bond or Obligation which Charles and Kelsy Cutter gave to my son Thomas and also a comfortable support and maintenance to be furnished by my son Samuel, in Consideration of the legacies hereinafter given to him during his Natural life.
