Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1718 Marriage of Sampson Underhill and Elizabeth Ambruss in Salisbury, Massachusetts

 I looked in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings for Treasure Chest Thursday.

The treasure today is the 1718 marriage record of Sampson Underhill and Elizabeth Ambruss in Salisbury, Massachusetts:

The marriage record is the only entry in the Underhill section:


The transcription of this marriage record is:

"UNDERHILL, Sampson, and Elizabeth Ambruss, Jan. 15, 1717-18.  N.CT. BK.*"

The source citation for this marriage record is:

Topsfield Historical Society, Vital Records of Salisbury, Massachusetts, to the End of the Year 1849 (Topsfield, Mass. : Topsfield Historical Society, 1915), Marriages, page 503, Sampson Underhill and Elizabeth Ambrose entry, 15 January 1717/8.

This record is a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the marriage of Sampson Underhill and Elizabeth Ambruss on 15 January 1717/8.  The original record is probably in a Salisbury town record book that may no longer be available.  

Sampson Underhill (1692-1732) was born in about 1692 in England; his parents are not known.  He died before 27 March 1732 in Chester, New Hampshire when his estate was administered.  He married Elizabeth Ambruss/Ambrose (1698-1782), the daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah (Eastman) Ambrose, on 15 January 1717/8 in Salisbury, Massachusetts.
 
Sampson and Elizabeth (Ambrose) Underhill are my 7th great-grandparents.  I am descended through their son John Underhill (1720-1793) who married Joanna Healey (1719-1809) on 21 October 1741 in Chester, New Hampshire.

Betty With Her Nana in the Early 1930s -- Post 774 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday

 I can't help it, I can't do a wordless post! This is now one of my favorite photographs:

This photograph is of my mother, Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002) and her maternal grandmother, Georgianna (Kemp) Auble (1868-1952), taken in the early 1930s.  I think the setting is the greenhouse on the Carringer home at 2130 Fern Street in San Diego.  

Betty called her grandmother "Nana" all of her life.  Georgianna was the widow of Charles Auble (1849-1916) and the mother of Betty's mother, Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer (1899-1977), who married Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976) in 1918. Georgianna was a daily presence in Betty's life until Betty's marriage in 1942 in San Diego, and they were extremely close until Georgianna's death in 1952.  I just realized that Georgianna, along with Betty and Emily, was one of my caregivers during World War II when my father was in the U.S. Navy and my mother and I lived with the Carringer family from mid 1944 until early 1946.  

I have no clue if the "little boy" in the lower left area of the picture s a real child or a garden gnome.  I think it is not a real person.

When Betty became a grandmother of four granddaughters in the 1970s, she loved being called "Nana."

This photograph is all part of our family history.

Seavers in the News -- James D. Seaver Dies in 1973 in Massachusetts

  Here is this week's 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 Boston [Mass.] Globe newspaper dated 18 April 1973, page 35:

The transcription of the article is:

"SEAVER -- Of Lexington, April 17. James D. of 37 Somerset rd., husband of Hilda (Prince), Hopewell, Seaver, father of Mrs. Margaret Carey of Scituate, Robert B. of Cooperstown, N.Y., Mrs. Sally Johnson of Naples, Fla, Henry C. Hopewell Jr. of Wolfeboro, N.H., Robert P. Hopewell of Denver, Col., Frank B. Hopewell of Central Point, Oregon, and brother of Lloyd B. Seaver of Thompson, Conn., Charles H. of Stockton, N.J., Mrs. Abbie S. Jameson of Manchester, N.H., and Mrs. Anne S. Johnson of West Chester, N.Y., and also survived by 23 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.  Memorial services at the Douglas Funerl Home, 51 Worthen rd., LEXINGTON, Saturday, April 21 at 2 p.m.  In lieu of flowers memorial gifts may be made to the Huggins Hospital, Wolfeboro, N.H."

The source citation is:

"Seaver," The Boston [Mass.] Globe newspaper, Wednesday, 18 April 1973, page 35, column 8, James D. Seaver obituary,   Newspapers.com   (https://www.newspapers.com : accessed 26 June 2023).

This obituary identifies his name, his wife's name, his children and step-children, his siblings, but no information about his occupation or associations.

James Daniel Seaver (1896-1973) was born 16 January 1896 in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Daniel Badger and Jane Akhurst (Smith) Seaver.  He died 17 April 1973 in Arlington, Massachusetts. He married (1) 24 July 1920 Margaret Stewart Brigham (1899-????) in Cooperstown, New York, daughter of Robert Otis and Florence Vesta (Stewart) Brigham.  They had three children:

*  Margaret Ann Seaver (1921-2012), married 1942 Allen Ashley Crockett (1916-2013); married (2) 1978 George L. Carey. 

*  Robert Badger Seaver (1924-2006), married (1) 1951 Mary Patricia Sheil (1926-1981); married (2) 2005 Veronica Pilar Gil (1947-????).

*  Sally Ann Crandon Seaver (1927-2021), married (1) 1947 Samuel Chew Williams Fleming (1915-1993); married (2) 1959 Herbert Sheldon Johnson (1920-1990).

James Daniel Seaver married (2) 6 March 1943 in Miami Beach, Florida, to Hilda (Prince) Hopewell (1894-1984), the widow of Henry Chase Hopewell (1883-1939). 

James Daniel Seaver (1896-1973) is my 8th cousin twice removed, with common Seaver ancestor of my 9th great-grandfather, Robert Seaver (1608-1683).

There are over 10,000 Seaver "stories" in my family tree - and this was one of them.   Life happens, accidentally and intentionally, and sometimes a person has a fairly sparse obituary with excellent family information. I am glad that I can honor  James Daniel 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.

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

Disclosure:  I have a complimentary subscription to Newspapers.com and have used it extensively to find articles about my ancestral and one-name families.

Genealogy Pot-Pourri - Week Ending 25 June 2023

Here are the highlights of my family history and genealogy related activities over the past week.  

1)  Hosted and moderated the Chula Vista Genealogical Society DNA Interest Group Meeting on Wednesday.  We discussed the MyHeritage update to Theory of Family Relativity, the homework from the May meeting (to identify the top unresolved matches that you don't know the common ancestors), and the homework for the July meeting (what have you done to identify the common ancestor for one of those unresolved matches?).  

2)  Worked to gather all of the CVGS Research Group handouts and DNA Interest Group handouts from 2020 on in one place on the CVGS OneDrive site.  

3)  Continued tagging, enhancing/colorizing, and captioning scanned photos on MyHeritage Photos, then renaming and saving them to my desktop computer photo files.

4)  Started scanning my Aunt Gerry's 40 page typed (yes, on a typewriter only) autobiography using the free TextScan mobile app.  It permits only five free scans a day.  I'm though 15 pages now.  The transcription is imperfect because the text is light and single spaced.  I send the text transcriptions to my email, then copy/paste into a document, and then proof the transcription with the original typed document. 

5)  Wrote a genealogical sketch for #107 4th great-grandmother Rosina (Lown) Lanfear (1781-1881) of Lorraine, New York for the 52 Ancestors series on Friday.  I've written 485 of these sketches for my ancestors.

6)  Transcribed the one page 1902 Will of Charles W. Seaver (1844-1913) of Manchester, New Hampshire for the Amanuensis Monday series.  

7)  AncestryDNA now has 43,495 DNA matches (up 63 from 18 June) for me today, with no new ThruLines.   I added 2 Notes to my new matches.  MyHeritageDNA now has 11,470 DNA matches (up 18 from 18 June) for me, with no new Theories.  Reviewed the new DNA matches on AncestryDNA, MyHeritageDNA, FamilyTreeDNA and 23andMe.  

8)  Occasionally matched RootsMagic 9 profiles to FamilySearch Family Tree.  I have matched 49,570 of my RootsMagic persons with FamilySearch Family Tree profiles (up 31).  

9) Used Web Hints and Record Matches from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast and FamilySearch to add content and source citations to my RootsMagic profiles. I now have 71,124 persons in my RootsMagic file (up 36), and 146,060  source citations (up 21). I TreeShared 67 new or modified profiles with my Ancestry Member Tree, and I resolved 332 Ancestry Hints. My Ancestry Member Tree has Ancestry Record Hints with 177,664 to be resolved, but I work on them several times a week.  

10) Wrote 16 Genea-Musings blog posts last week (Monday through Sunday), of which one was a press release. The most viewed post last week was Beware of the A.I. Chatbots for Genealogy   with over 206 views.  Genea-Musings had about 61,600 page views last week.  

11)  Real life:  This is week 171 (over three years!) since COVID restrictions started.   I stayed home except for visiting Linda every day at the skilled nursing/memory care facility. Went grocery shopping on Monday and Friday.   Trimmed more of the rose bushes in front of the house but I can't reach some branches, and trimmed more of the bushes in the side yard.  I'm still sorting out stuff from the closet and the genealogy cave - save, toss or donate.  Walked every day on the block and talked to several neighbors.  I finished reading the John Grisham book Sparring Partners, and started the James Patterson book The Cornwalls Are Gone.  The Padres season continued, and I watched all of the games this past week.  They are 37-41 so far (2-5 this past week) and mired in fourth place in the NL West division.

Amanuensis Monday -- 1902 Will of Charles W. Seaver of Manchester, New Hampshire

 This week's document for transcription is the 1902 Will of Charles W. Seaver (1844-1913) of Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.

1) Hillsborough County, New Hampshire Probate Records - Volume 230, Page 493:

The transcription of this document on the right-hand page is:

                                                                        WILL

State of New Hampshire, considering the uncertainty of this mortal life and being
of sound mind and memory, do make this my last will and testament.

I.  I direct my Executrix hereinafter named to pay all my just debts and
funeral expenses as soon after my decease as may be convenient and to cause a
suitable inscription to my memory to be placed on the family monument of
Joseph H. Flint in the cemetery in Bedford in said County; and I further direct
that I shall be buried in said lot where said monument has been erected.

II.  I give, bequeath and devise all the rest, residue and remainder
of my estate, real, personal and mixed, wherever found and however described,

natural life, with power to sell and convey said rest and residue, but not to

Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the above-named Charles W. Seaver
as his last will and testament, and by us, at his request, in his presence, and
in the presence of each other, subscribed as witnesses.

The foregoing instrument, purporting to be the last will of Charles W. Seaver late

witnesses whose names are in the said instrument subscribed, that at the time of execution thereof the said deceased was more than twenty-one years of age, and of sane mind, that he did sign, seal, and publish the same as his last will and that the said Allan M. Wilson with Henry E. Burnham and Reed Paige Clark   attested and subscribed the same together as witnesses to the execution thereof, in the presence of said testator.  It is therefore decreed, that the said instrument be, and it is hereby proved, approved and allowed as the last will of  said testator.

A True Entry of Record
                                    ATTEST                   E.J. Copp    Register

The source citation for this probate case file is:

"New Hampshire, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1643-1982," indexed database with record images, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com), Hillsborough County, Probate Records, Vol 228-230, 1908-1930, Volume 230, page 493 (image 732 of 749), will of Charles W. Seaver of Manchester, written 7 November 1902, proved 15 April 1913; original data: New Hampshire County, District and Probate Courts.

Charles W. Seaver (1844-1913) was born 19 July 1844 in East Boston, Massachusetts, the son of John Gilman and Amy (Maynard) Seaver of   He married, on 26 September 1868 in Manchester, New Hampshire to Sarah A.P. Flint.  She was the daughter of Joseph Hooper and Nancy C. (Parkhurst) Flint.  Charles and Sarah had no children.

Charles W. Seaver died 14 February 1913 in Manchester, New Hampshire.  He wrote his will on 7 November 1902b and the will was proved on 15 April 1913 in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.   In his will, he bequeathed everything to his wife, Sarah A. P. (Flint) Seaver with the provision that any residue at Sarah's death go to her two nephews.

The Ancestry.com collection of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire probate records is limited.  No letters of administration, inventories, accounts or distributions are available.  On FamilySearch, the probate case files are available for browsing, but there appears to be no index of the case files in this time period to help determine the case number for a specific person.  

Charles W. Seaver (1844-1913) is probably a distant cousin of mine; his grandfather is John Seaver (1778-1841) who married Susanna Trumbull.   I have not been able to find parents for John Seaver (1778-1841).

NOTE: Genea-blogger John Newmark (who writes the excellent TransylvanianDutch blog) started a Monday blog theme years ago called "Amanuensis Monday." John offers this definition for "amanuensis:"

"A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another."

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- What Do You Wish You Had Done?

 Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night again -
time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):

1)  What do you wish you had done in your life?  

2)  Write your own blog post, or leave a comment on this post, or write something on Facebook.

Here's mine:

There are so many. I will name a few of them.

I wish that I had been an astronaut going to space and the moon. Yeah, I would be famous and would have written a book, but my eyes were imperfect. I’m not sure I could have handled the physics, the launch and recovery. To experience weightlessness, and 6-7 g-forces, would have been interesting.  

I wish that we had seen more of the world. Asia, eastern Europe, Italy, Greece, Israel, Egypt, south Africa. We should have taken more tours. And now it’s too late.

I wish that we had lived more in the country. The Milky Way at night is awesome, but I saw it only a few times, in our mountains, on vacation, and at Forest Home camp. However, the commute would be longer, there is more fire danger there, and I don’t think I would want horses, cows, chickens, pigs, or practice farming.

I wish that I was more mechanically minded. Because I was left-handed, was small, and had glasses, my father didn’t teach me how to use a saw, hammer, a screwdriver, a drill, etc. I often fail putting things together well.

I wish that we had taken my parents on a cruise to far away places so that they had the experience (although my father did “cruise” on a destroyer in World War II), or to New England (to see my dad’s relatives - he last was there in late 1940).

I wish that I could have attended a San Diego Padres World Series game. We stayed home in 1984, and Lori and Linda had tickets to Game 5 in 1998, but couldn’t use them because the Pads lost the Series in four games. I hope that I’m still alive to see this happen in 2023 or beyond.

I wish that I had talked at length to my mother and father, and to their parents, about their life experiences from youth to school to family to work to old age, and their attitudes, hopes, views, and wishes. I started genealogy research 12 years after my Carringer grandparents died, and 5 years after my father died. My mother didn’t want to talk about it. We actually have a lot of records, but relatively few family stories.

That’s seven wishes, I hope it’s enough!!

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

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category. Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to   https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link). It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
