New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday, 16 October 2020

  I received this information from Findmypast today:                          

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



Findmypast Friday: new rolls of honour, baptism and burial records

Explore First World War Rolls of Honour covering Caribbean troops who served with the British Army, new Kent parish records and a host of newspaper updates this Findmypast Friday.

Caribbean Rolls of Honour WW1

Trace military ancestors and their incredible stories in our new Caribbean Rolls of Honour. The records list soldiers from Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago who served with the British Armed Forces during World War 1.

For Jamaica, which provided the largest Caribbean contingent to the British and Allied war effort, there are records for army officers from, or connected with, the island as well as NCOs and other ranks who lost their lives in the conflict. For Trinidad & Tobago, the collection is more complete and comprehensive. It is believed to contain the great majority of men who served in the War, including some who served with the French Army.

As well as soldiers of Afro-Caribbean descent, there are men from the Indian Sub-continent, presumably in most cases the descendants of indentured labourers, as well as men of Latino and Jewish heritage.

Releases for other islands in the Caribbean will be added to this collection over time.

Kent Baptisms

Over 7,000 parish baptisms covering Sutton-at-Hone, Woolwich and St Mary Cray have been added to the collection. Explore these transcripts and images of original church registers to discover new Kent family milestones.

Baptism records are essential for getting further in your family tree. They can reveal your ancestors' names, birth and baptism dates, where they lived and importantly, their parents' details.

Kent Burials

Was your ancestor laid to rest in Kent? Discover where and when they were buried with over 5,000 new burials from the parishes of Eltham and Thames & Medway.

Findmypast is home to one of the most comprehensive collections of Kent family records online. You can also delve into marriages and banns, wills and probate indexes and poor law union records from the Garden of England.

Newspapers

This week, we’ve released four brand new papers and added more pages to 10 publications.

The latest titles to join our expanding archive include:
  • Civil & Military Gazette (Pakistan) covering 1884 and 1891-1893
  • Indian Statesman covering 1876
  • Weekly Dispatch (London) covering 1820-1829, 1831-1850 and 1852-1868
  • Kilrush Herald and Kilkee Gazette covering 1879-1880, 1889-1899, 1901-1919 and 1921-1922
And we've added even more issues to:

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  
 
The Pierce Genealogy by Frederick Beech Pierce contains a biographical sketch of the family of Thomas Pierce, Jr. (1608-1683) of Woburn, Massachusetts, including the birth of Elizabeth Pierce (1646-????)[1].

Elizabeth Pierce was born on 25 December 1646 in Woburn, Massachusetts, the 4th child and second daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Cole) Pierce[1-2].  

Elizabeth married Thomas Whittemore (1645-1670) in Woburn, Massachusetts on 9 November 1666, at age 19[3].  They had two children, recorded in Woburn:

*  Joseph Whittemore (1667-1737), married 1703 Sarah Temple (1682-1759).
*  Hannah Whittemore (1668-1689), married 1686 James Nichols (1662-1727).

Thomas Whittemore died on 10 March 1670 in Woburn, leaving Elizabeth a widow at age 23 with two small children.

On 15 October 1670, Elizabeth (Pierce) Whittemore married her second husband, Hopestill Foster (1648-1679) of Woburn, at age 23[6].  They had four children, all born and recorded in Woburn:

*  Thomas Foster (1672-1672)
*  Abigail Foster (1673-1743), married 1704 Timothy Farley (1680-1743).
*  John Foster (1677-????).
*  Mercy Foster (1678-1679).

Hopestill Foster died on 24 May 1679 in Woburn at age 31, leaving Elizabeth with one more small child.

On 23 March 1680/1, Elizabeth (Pierce) (Whittemore) Foster married her third husband, Nathaniel Pierce (1655-1692)[7], at age 34 with three children aged 6 to 13.  They had four more children, all recorded in the Woburn town record book:

*  Mary Pierce (1682-1713), married 1706 Thomas Dill (1682-1718).
*  Hannah Pierce (1684-1688).
*  Ichabod Pierce (1686-1721), married 1706 Sarah Waters (1677-1757).
*  Robert Pierce (1689-1689).

Elizabeth's father, Thomas Pierce, died in Woburn on 6 November 1683, and her mother died on 5 March 1688 in Woburn.  Thomas Pierce's probate records include only an inventory with several real estate parcels and personal estate.  It is not known what, if any, Elizabeth received from her parents estate.

Her husband, Nathaniel Pierce died in late 1692 at age 37, leaving Elizabeth a widow for the third time at age 45, with four children ranging in age from 6 to 25.  

In his will dated 2 May 1691, and proved 13 December 1692, Nathaniel Pierce named his wife Elizabeth as the executor of his estate along with his son Nathaniel, and bequeathed to Elizabeth[5]:
"I will and bequeth as followeth first I give to Elizabeth my loving and beloved wife tenn pounds to be payd her out of my effects she chosing in what of my moveable Esteat she will have it in to be at her owne desease and also the use of the whole of my housing and lands during her terme while my Eldest son cometh of Age and after that the use of but one halfe so long as she continueth my widow."
On 12 January 1699/1700, Joseph Whittemore and Elizabeth Pierce (the mother of Joseph) sold two small pieces of land in Woburn, Massachusetts to George Read, junior of Woburn for 30 pounds[4]. The first piece was 20 rods of land containing one small mansion house and an orchard in Woburn, Massachusetts near the meeting house.  The land was bounded by the King's highway, John Fowls land, the town highway to the burying place, and the town common.  The second piece with a small dwelling house was 30 poles of land bounded by the highway, the first piece of land, the town pound, and the town common. Elizabeth was on the deed because it contained her widow's thirds from her marriage to Thomas Whittemore.  The deed was recorded on 1 February 1699/1700.

It is likely that Elizabeth resided with her oldest son, Joseph Whittemore after the death of Nathaniel, since he had probably received a dwelling house from his father's estate.  After Joseph sold the land in early 1700, she may have lived with him even when he married until her death.

There are no death or known burial location or dates for Elizabeth (Pierce) (Whittemore) (Foster) Pierce.  There are no deed records for her after 1700 in the Middlesex County land records.  There are no probate records for her in the Middlesex County Probate court records.

Seavers in the News -- George N. Seaver Dies in Delaware in 1943

 It's time for another edition of "Seavers in the News" - a weekly feature from the historical newspapers about persons with the surname Seaver that are interesting, useful, mysterious, fun, macabre, or add information to my family tree database.

This week's entry is from  The News Journal [Wilmington, Del.] newspaper dated 21 July 1943:

The transcription of the article is:

"George Seaver Dies in Hospital
----------------
Former Credit Manager Of
News-Journal Company Stricken Last Friday
----------------
"George N. Seaver, 69, of 1372 West Seventh Street, retired credit manager of the News-Journal Company, died shortly before noon today in The Memorial hospital.

"He was taken to the hospital last Friday after suffering a stroke at the Kent Hotel dining room.

"Mr. Seaver retired May 15, 1942 after 17 years in credit and collection work.  He served nine years as News-Journal credit manager, and eight years as assistant business manager of the Evening Journal.

"Coming to Wilmington from New England as a young man, he became a group leader of draftsmen at the Edge Moor office of the American Bridge Company, and was later associated with the late Charles H. Ten Weeges in the coal business before coming to the Evening Journal.

"Mr. Seaver, who has been a local resident about 50 years, was unmarried.  He is survived by a brother living in Waterbury, Conn.

"He was a member of Lafayette Lodge, No. 14, A.F.&A.M.; St. John's Commandery, No. 1, Knights Templar; the Delaware Shrine Club, Lulu Temple, A.&O.N.M.S. of Philadelphia; and a past high priest of St. John's Chapter, No. 4, R.A.M."

The source citation is:

"George Seaver Dies in Hospital," The News Journal [Wilmington, Del.] newspaper, obituary, Wednesday, 21 July 1943, page 3, column 1, George N. Seaver obituary;  Newspapers.com   (https://www.newspapers.com : accessed 15 October 2020).

This obituary provides a name, a death date, a death place, an age, a cause of death,  his employment history, the fact he was unmarried, but no names of his parents or brother or other relatives.  I did not have his death date and place, or his cause of death, in my RootsMagic database.

George Newton Seaver was born 5 November 1873 in Templeton, Massachusetts, the son of John Holden and Laura Lucretia (Fiske) Seaver of Templeton.   George had a brother, John Dwight Seaver (1883-1969) who resided in Waterbury, Connecticut, but in 1943 he had other siblings still living - Henry Holden Seaver (1871-1949), Charles Adams Seaver (1879-1971), and Warren Luther Seaver (1886-1968).

George Newton Seaver (1873-1943) is my 4th cousin 2 times removed, with common Seaver ancestors of my 5th great-grandparents Norman and Sarah (Read) Seaver. 

There are over 9,500 Seaver "stories" in my family tree - and this was one of them.   Life happens, accidentally and intentionally, and sometimes a person leaves home and has no spouse or descendants.  I am glad that I can honor George Newton Seaver today.  

You never know when a descendant or relative will find this blog post and learn something about their ancestors or relatives, or will provide more information about them to me.

Treasure Chest Thursday - 1646 Birth of Elizabeth Pierce in Woburn, Mass.

  It's Treasure Chest Tuesday - a chance to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1646 birth record of  Elizabeth Pierce in the Woburn, Massachusetts vital record book:
The Elizabeth Pierce birth record is the 5th record in the Pierce listing:

The transcription of this record is:

"[Pierce] Elizabeth, d. of Thomas, Dec. 25, 1646.""

The source citation for this record is:

Edward F. Johnson, Woburn Records of Births, Marriages and Deaths [5 Volumes], (Woburn, Mass.: The News Print, 1893), Volume 1, page 193, Elizabeth Pierce birth entry, daughter of Thomas, 25 December 1646.

This is a Derivative Source record for the birth of Elizabeth Pierce.  It is Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the birth date, place, and the name of Elizabeth and her father.  The original record is probably a Woburn town record book that was transcribed and is no longer available.

Elizabeth Pierce (1646-????) is the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Cole) Pierce of Woburn.  She married Nathaniel Pierce (1656-1692) as her third husband in 1681.  They are my 7th great-grandparents, through their daughter Mary Pierce (1682-1713) who married Thomas Dill (1682-1718).

Book Review: "Family Stories ... and How I Found Mine" by J. Michael Cleverly

 J. Michael Cleverly wrote Family Stories ... and How I Found Mine recently.  It is available from Genealogical Publishing Company (550 pages, 2020, ISBN  9780806359090, $44.95) - see   https://genealogical.com/store/family-stories-and-how-i-found-mine/. 


The publicity for this book provides this summary:

"Family Stories . . . and How I Found Mine is actually several books rolled into one. At its simplest, it conveys the history of author J. Michael Cleverley’s family from the early Middle Ages, through its establishment in colonial New England, and later in the American Midwest. Unlike many genealogies, however, it examines the author’s ancestors in the context of American and European history. Cleverley, a retired senior diplomat in the U.S. foreign service and a published author outside of genealogy, is keenly aware of the impact individuals and families have on their times, and vice versa. By being with the Cleverley ancestors as they negotiate the challenges of prior centuries, readers of Family Stories . . . and How I found Mine will gain insight into the lives and challenges of their own ancestors.

"Simultaneously, Cleverley has written a treatise on how to produce a family history, showing by example how family stories can be discovered, often more easily than thought, and what genealogy researchers may be able to find in today’s rich cyber world of family history.

"The scope of Family Stories . . . and How I Found Mine spreads out over a millennium. The story begins with Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror, before jumping to the Greene family serving in the court of Plantagenet kings from 1300 to 1500. Next come chapters devoted to Cleverley’s Puritan New England ancestors of the 1600s, their subsequent settlement in Rhode Island by the 1700s, and service at the Battle of Concord in 1775. From the 1830s to 1860s, we follow Cleverley descendants to Missouri and Kansas, where they served in the western Indian Wars, and later to Utah and Idaho. The story concludes with a stirring account of Seija Cleverley (the author’s wife) and her family’s hardships during Finland’s struggles with Soviet Russia and during the Second World War. Each chapter, including the methodological commentary, is self-contained. The reader can pick up the book at any point for a complete experience of a specific era and family members under discussion or can read the volume straight through in its entirety. Either way, this is a volume that entertains as it enlightens, and teaches as it chronicles a family history."

This book was a fascinating read for me as a genealogist.  I loved that it had a number of family stories that included the process of researching them and how they applied to Michael Cleverly's ancestry. It helped that I could relate to many of the ancestors and places treated in the stories - I have many ancestors that were British royals, Puritans, Rhode Island settlers, Revolutionary War soldiers, western migration travelers, etc.  The Finland story of his wife also resonated with me - we have friends in Finland and that story provided background information about their struggle in World Wars I and II.

With enough research, all genealogists and family historians can find interesting family stories and could create a similar book with the stories of their ancestors.  After finishing the book, I reflected on what stories I could tell from my own ancestry - some of them are similar to Michael's, some of them are different but could be treated in a similar fashion.  Thank you to Michael for opening my eyes to the possibilities of writing my family's stories.

Disclosure: Genealogical.com contacted me recently and asked me to provide a review of this book. They mailed me a review copy for my personal use as remuneration for this review.

Linda and Lori on the Grass in 1975 -- Post 639 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday

 I can't help it, I can't do a wordless post! I found some more family photos hiding in Linda's family photo boxes. This is one of my favorite photographs:


This photograph is of my wife Linda and our oldest daughter, Lori, taken in May 1975 around the time of her first birthday.  She was learning to walk and Linda is holding her hand.  The setting is someone's back yard, I think.  I don't think it is the back yard of our home in Chula Vista.  We had those flowers in the back yard, but I don't recognize the tree, and there was a wall where we had the flowers, plus we had green grass the first years we were in the house.

After some thought, and looking around the back yard, I think that the white wall is the west-facing wall of our house below the window for the genea-cave (the one with pink blinds).  We had those purple flowers in the bed in front of the wall, real grass, and a succulent plant on the left next to the chimney.

These photos were scanned from photographs created from developed film prints and are not particularly sharp, but they are what we have!

Several times a year when our children were growing up, Linda sent photographs to her parents and brother in San Francisco. When her father died in 2002, her brother sorted out the photos and gave Linda the ones that were of our family and the ones interacting with them. They were given to us in a big box of stuff back in 2006, and we finally looked at them last year! I've started digitizing them for use in these Wordless Wednesday posts.
