52 Relatives: Juliett Glazier (Seaver) Bryant (1847-1910) of Massachusetts

 I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of  my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents - see the list in 52 Ancestors Biographies.  

This "52 Relatives" theme is a weekly series to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches, including important events, and with source citations.  These relatives lived and died within a family structure, and deserve a genealogical sketch - they were integral parts and important persons in the lives of my ancestral families.  I will post the sketches on my Ancestry Member Tree and in the FamilySearch Family Tree. 

 ================================= 

Juliett Glazier Seaver was born 24 August 1847 in Westminster, Massachusetts, the first and only child of Isaac and Juliet (Glazier) Seaver.[1-2]  The mother, Juliet (Glazier) Seaver died afour weeks after the birth, and Juliett Glazier Seaver lived with her maternal grandparents for several years.  Her father, Isaac Seaver, married again in 1851 to Lucretia Townsend Smith, and Juliett lived with them until adulthood.

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

Juliett Glazier (Seaver) Bryant (1858-1874) was my great-grand-aunt, the half-sister of my maternal great-grandfather, Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922).  I can't imagine the pain and anguish that my 2nd great-grandparent Isaac Seaver (1823-1901) suffered with the loss of his wife in childbirth.

Treasure Chest Thursday - 1756 Marriage of Jasper Partridge and Marcy Rice in Barre, Massachusetts

It's Treasure Chest Thursday - an opportunity to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history research and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1756 marriage entry for Jasper Partridge and Marcy Rice in the Barre, Worcester County, Massachusetts vital records:

The marriage record is near the middle of the Partride items on the image:

The transcription of this record is::

"[PARTRIDGE] Jasper and Marcy Rice, Oct. 12, 1756."

The source citation for this record is (using Evidence Explained 4th edition template):

Vital records of Barre, Massachusetts, to the end of the year 1849 (Worcester, Mass. : F. P. Rice, 1903), Marriages, page 183, Jasper Partridge and Marcy Rice marriage entry, 12 October 1756.

This is an entry abstracted from the Barre, Massachusetts town records.  It is a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of Jasper and Marcy's marriage date and place.

Jasper Partridge (1732-1821) was born 15 April 1732 in Medway, now Norfolk county, Massachusetts, the son of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Learnard) Partridge.  Jasper died in 1821 in Gustavus, Trumbull County, Ohio.  He married (1) Marcy Rice (1737-1767), the daughter of Jonas and Jean (Hall) Rice, on 12 October 1756 in Barre, Worcester County, Massachusetts.  They had seven children.  After Marcy died, Jasper married (2) Joy Nichols (1736-????) in about 1769 in Vermont.  They had four children.

Jasper and Marcy (Rice) Partridge are my 6th great-grandparents, through their son Thomas Partridge (1758-1828) who married Hannah Wakeman (1763-1814).

Mia Comes to San Diego in 1994 -- Post 821 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday

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

This photograph was taken in the summer of 1994 at the San Diego airport.  We welcomed our foreign exchange "daughter" Mia (from Finland) to San Diego.  Linda is holding the sign, daughter Tami is smiling hard, and Mia is trying not to blush, I think.  I'm pretty sure I was taking the photo.

This event led to three weeks of fun and happiness for all of us.  Within days, we had another foreign exchange "daughter" - Anne, also from Finland - when the planned host family fell through.  We visited everything in San Diego - zoo, Sea World, beaches, naval ships, Hollywood, Universal Studios, and more.  Oh yeah, the Finland Olympic Shopping Team really enjoyed going to malls with Tami in her car - 16 year olds spending the summer in San Diego - what could be better?

This photograph is a part of my family history.  I had the photograph in my 1994 photo album, and used the MyHeritage PhotoScanner mobile app to get it into a digital image, and then enhanced and colorized it using the MyHeritage photo tools.
