1835 deed - grantor was State of Connecticut

jadavi331 — 2009-11-20 07:16:29Z

I'm searching for the original deed to land in Cuyahoga County, Ohio that was purchased by my ancestor who was born in Franklin CT.

Cuyahoga County deed images are posted online at the website of the County Recorder (wouldn't it be wonderful if more counties did that!) Just yesterday I found a reference in 1840 to his purchase of the property five years earlier, in a contract dated August 3, 1835. Doing some more checking, I discovered some transactions on that date, between the State Treasurer of Connecticut and several other grantees, but there is no record of my ancestor's purchase.

This is an important genealogy find for me, because I am seeking proof of his connection to the man I believe was his father. It may be that his father back in Connecticut assisted him in this purchase, or there might be other clues (witnesses, etc) in this document.

He was married in Franklin, CT in October 1835, and he is described in the marriage record as being "of Cleveland". I had assumed this meant he lived in Cleveland prior to his marriage, but it could just be a reference to the fact that he owned property there, having purchased it just two months previously, but had not actually removed yet to Ohio.

Is anybody familiar with how these purchases of land in the CT Western Reserve were handled? If the transaction was between him and the State Treasurer, would I still search for the deed at the county courthouse in New London County, or would it be recorded elsewhere in Connecticut?

I could order film from the Family History Center, but would I order Franklin, Norwich, or somewhere else?

I live in Georgia. Does anybody know of volunteers who offer to do lookups in deed records, either for free or fee?

Thanks very much for any help.

Hi Dot
I saw your kind offer of Connecticut lookups on the Connecticut mailing list and wondered if you could look someone up for me please.

I am interested in Charles Cromack of New Hartford who married Betsy Radcliffe in Bristol on Oct 17, 1852. I have found them in the 1860 & 1870 censuses but I can't be sure that he's "my" Charles Cromack without more information such as parents' names or a more specific place of birth than just "England". I haven't been able to find an immigration or death record for him so far.

If your information has any details at all on this Charles Cromack I would love to know.
Many thanks in advance
Liz

My secretary just told me that she never posted it that I have sold all of my Barbour books, for that she is out looking for a new job as I fired her on the spot, for this I am very sorry for the fine people from Connecticut and for any others that have asked me to do look-ups. again I am very sorry that this happened.

Marriage William A Brunell/Fannie B Bishop-Gowdy

lplaurent2 — 2009-11-12 06:29:32Z

I am looking for the marriage of William A Brunell and Fannie B Bishop (or Gowdy, her birth name). According to the 1900 US Census they got married by 1893. William had a meat company in Springfield MA and later they moved to Worcester MA were William died 30 Nov 1924 (57 years old) and Fannie on 21 Sept 1941 (71 years old), her adoptive father was George W Bishop.
I haven't found the marriage in MA and I think it could be in CT, in the area close to Springfield.

Re: John L and Eliza Taylor

Ezziej — 2009-11-06 14:52:51Z

Pickly1 for John and Eliza Taylor:
I know it sounds funny but have you tried for death certs? Information can be obtained from them and listing of family members if you are lucky. And 1901 is enough advanced to be able to receive this info. Also, contact the Bridgeport Library for some Nespaper articles. My advice is to obtain the facts that you can on your gg grandmother before scurrying on to the next lineage. Also your ggg grandfather was alive in 1860 so maybe he has a war record. Try "Footnote" see what they have in their archives. "Surnamenavigator" or Heritage quest. Think outside of you box...a will, newspaper articles, death certs, etc.
Just some friendly suggestions.

John L and Eliza Taylor

pickly1 — 2009-11-06 00:31:07Z

My gg grandmother was Fannie E Pickles (nee Taylor) (1853-1901) of Connecticut. I am unsure what city or county she was born in though. My problem is that I am stuck when it comes to her parents. Based on the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census's I can only come up with her parents as being John L Taylor (about 1825-unk) from CT and Eliza (about 1827-unk) also born in CT. Maiden name unknown. In 1860 they lived in Hamden, New Haven, CT. In 1870 they lived in Bridgeport, Fairfield, CT and in 1880 they lived in Manchester, Hartford, CT. The only other info I have is that Fannie had only one sibling, Frederick B. Taylor born around 1856 who married an Ida Webb. I cannot find any other information on John or Eliza Taylor. If anyone has any information on John, Eliza, Fannie or Frederick Taylor of CT could you please let me know. I would greatly appreciate the help!

Hello Bryon
Yes, you are right, Kathryn moved to Southold after Daniel Lane disappeared. Didn't know there was any information on him dying on the lam. I believe there was a Doxey Lane, and a second Doxey Lane, perhaps also a third (three generations). I am trying to find where Kathryn Doxey Lane Moore is burried, I've found Thomas Moore's grave but not hers. Do you have further info on Thomas Doxey Jr, I know he was a merchant in Barbados and returned to LI. Thanks. Ellen

Henrietta Natalie Niegelsky Ammondson Obit

mabeone — 2009-10-24 11:40:22Z

Natalie Ammondson, a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, friend, and volunteer, died on the morning of Thursday, October 15, 2009.

She was a strong and creative woman who lived a long and full life. Natalie loved her family dearly, and was loved equally by her family.
A celebration of her life and service to our country will be held from 4 until 6 p.m. on Friday, October 23, at Lambeth Troxler Funeral Home, 301 W Wendover Ave., Greensboro, N.C. Military rites will commence at 5:45 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to The Children's Home Society of NC and the Macular Degeneration Foundation.

She was born in Connecticut and had lived in North Carolina since 1960.

She was the beloved widow of Dr. Clayton John Ammondson.

Natalie graduated from the Bridgeport, Connecticut, Hospital School of Nursing and the University of Minnesota. She served as a field nurse from 1942 through 1945 in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps with the Bellevue, N.Y., Hospital Unit, First General Hospital in the European theater during World War II, including service during the Battle of the Bulge. After her honorable discharge as First Lieutenant, she was a surgical nursing clinical instructor and assistant nursing officer at Hartford Hospital, Conn., Stamford Hospital, Conn.; , and a head nurse at Middlesex General Hospital, New Brunswick, New Jersey. She particularly enjoyed the surgical nursing specialty. During the 1940s polio epidemic, Natalie worked with the American Red Cross in Minneapolis-St. Paul. She continued her service for more than 40 years as a volunteer nurse and donor for the American Red Cross Bloodmobile programs. Additionally, she volunteered as a nurse at Annie Penn Memorial Hospital of Reidsville and Wesley Long Hospital of Greensboro for over 25 years.
Natalie contributed her time in many other ways to the community, working with children, adults, and those in need as an active Den Mother in Cub Scouts, a Sunday School teacher at the Unitarian Church of Greensboro, N.C., a founding member of the Reidsville YMCA, Rockingham County Fine Arts Association and of The League of Women Voters of Rockingham County. She was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Natalie's strong work ethic applied to everything she did. She enjoyed ballroom dancing, landscape design and gardening, reading, opera, a wide variety of music, art, home making and cooking. Her love of cooking has been passed down through the family with her box of favorite recipes, all of which she creatively never made the same way twice.

Most of all, Natalie will be remembered for the love and care of her family: her daughter, Dr. Ingrid Ammondson and husband, James Kellenberger, of Half Moon Bay, Calif., and Ingrid's son, David Livingston and wife, Alex, and their daughters, Hanna and Abbie of Atlanta, Ga.; her sons, Eric Ammondson and wife, Amy McElroy, and their children John, Margaret Natalie, and Peter of Arlington, Mass., and John Ammondson and wife, Molly and their children, Stanley, Kelsey, and Elise of Jamestown, N.C.; her brother, Leon Niegelsky and wife, Marjory, of Colfax, N.C., and their sons, Robert Niegelsky and wife, Karen, and their children, Mark and Beth of Greensboro, N.C., Leon Niegelsky Jr. and wife, Sam, and their daughter, Sarah of Reidsville, N.C., and their grandson, Christopher Fagge of Greensboro, N.C.; her sister- in-law, Lillian Niegelsky of Seymour, Conn., widow of her beloved brother, Stanley, and their daughter, Karen Spargo and husband, Owen, and their daughter, Tai of Oxford, Connecticut.

She was predeceased by her nieces, Reneé Niegelsky and Leslie Niegelsky Fagge.

We are looking for the family of Edna Crystal Haynes born about 1888 in Connecticut. By 1904 she was residing in Santa Clara Co., CA. where she married Charles D. Steele. In 1906 she was in Portland, Multnomah Co., OR. and still married, but divorced by the 1910 US Census. We have no info on her parents or what happened to her after 1906. Any clue to help us find her will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks from California.

Re: Metcalfe Family New Britain Connecticut

gumnutbabe — 2009-09-22 09:31:57Z

Well there you go. John must of died before 1899 at least. I can answer who Mary Ovendale is, it's Clara's Mum, Clara's maiden name is Ovendale. Mary must of migrated to the USA long before John, Clara and William did, maybe that's why they migrated to the USA.

This may be far fetched but I wonder if Clara was a widow when she married Alfred or maybe she was a divorcee. My Grandfather, his Father, Stepmother and most of his sibling came to Australia after living in Canada for about 8 years. When they came to Australia, my Grandfather worked for his Uncle, who had a funeral business. His Uncle (who's name was Ralph) started the business originally with a man by the name of William Metcalfe. Ralph was not a funeral director by trade, he was actually a sheet cutter (steel worker). I don't know if William is somehow related but the only William in our line that I have found is Ralph's Father (who was from what I can find an only child) who died in Sheffield Yorkshire in 1902. Ralph and William had a falling out and William actually left the business to Ralph who partnered up with the son of a man who had a delivery stable opposite the funeral parlour. You wouldn't believe this but William opened a funeral business right next door to the original business that he and Ralph had. William's funeral parlour stayed in business for a few years but the one Ralph and his partner continued on and is still going today in the same place but it is a francise now. The person now managing the business told me about the 2 of them and their fall out and the 2 businesses. Anyway my point I was getting to (long windedly and I am sorry about) that I have been thinking of this since long before I knew that John and Clara migrated to the USA, I wondered if maybe the William Metcalfe that was here in Australia was actually John because his middle name is William and if he did divorce Clara and maybe came out here to Australia he could of dropped John as his name. I know it is far fetched isn't it, but it would be an answer to who this William Metcalfe is. I have not been able to find a death certificate in Australia for William Metcalfe so I can't order it to find out who his parents are.

Anyway just thought I would let you know my little idea but like I said it sounds really far fetched to be true.

Anyway thanks again for all your help. You don't know how much I really appreciate this.

I forgot to look for the family under Middleton, so here's the census if you don't have it::

1900 Meriden, New Haven, Connecticut Census

Alfred Middleton, age 29, born August 1870, married 1 year. He was born in Connecticut, and his parents were born in England. Occupation is a cutlery grinder.
Clara Middleton, wife, age 40, born January 1860. Gave birth to 2 children and 2 are living. She and her parents were born in England. Immigrated 1894.
William H. Middleton, stepson, age 8, born December 1891. He and his parents were born in England. Immigrated in 1894.
Violet M.E. Middleton, stepdaughter, age 6, born March 1894. She was born in Connecticut and her parents England.
Mary Ovendale, Mother-in-law, age 60, born 1840. Listed as married, and has been for 40 years. Born in Scotland and her parents in England. Gave birth to 2 children and 2 are still living. Says she immigrated in 1888, so not sure who's mother-in-law she is?? Maybe Alfred was married previously??

Re: Metcalfe Family New Britain Connecticut

jamm7 — 2009-09-21 22:15:36Z

Yes I live in the U.S., and I bet it's a challenge for you to find records. I have a subscription to Ancestry, so either post your questions here, or email me off the board and I'll do the lookups for you.

I tried every which way I could, but couldn't find John, Clara or their children in the 1900 census. Did you find them there?

Ancestry has no New Britain City Directories between 1881-1913. Many times, death dates were published in the directories, though not sure if they did it back in the 1890's. You could try the Local History Department of The New Britain Library:: http://www.nbpl.info/localhistory.html and see if John or Clara Metcalfe are listed. If you can get a date of death, you could get his record from the N.B. Town Clerk's Office.

Good luck and let me know if I can be of anymore help.

Re: Metcalfe Family New Britain Connecticut

gumnutbabe — 2009-09-20 22:58:22Z

Jamm you have been a great help again. I have looked at the entry in ellisisland.org. Thanks again. Are you in the USA, is that why it is easier for you to find these records or know where to look or have you been doing this addictive hobby for a long time? I had a lovely woman that helped me find my Grandfather's brother that moved to Maryland USA. She grew up near where my Great Uncle and his family lived so she knew where to search for the records I needed. Can I ask one more favour? Seeing as Connecticut Death Index doesn't start till 1949 do you have any idea as to where I could find when John William Metcalf died. In the 1910 census it said that Clara and her 2nd husband had been married for 10 yrs so I am presuming that John died before 1900. Anyway I will keep searching for info I can't leave it all up to you but if I get stuck can I contact you again. I only have pay per view membership on Ancestry so I will see what I can find in the next week or so. Thanks again

Helen

Re: Metcalfe Family New Britain Connecticut

jamm7 — 2009-09-20 13:25:48Z

Not sure if you've seen ellisisland.org but there's John W. Metcalf, Clara and Wm Harry from Sheffield, England, who arrived in N.Y. on Aug 7, 1893. I'd say that William Harry from New Britain is the cousin you're looking for.

Glad I could help!

Re: Metcalfe Family New Britain Connecticut

gumnutbabe — 2009-09-20 06:09:13Z

Thank you very much Jamm,

This is more then I have been able to find. I had found a social security listing for William H born c1918 and it said his spouse name was Barbara. All your information is really good. I think I may have found William H seniors birth. I found a listing in this name in 1892 in Sheffield Yorkshire. This is where my Grandfather came from and all his ancestors were from and I have ordered the birth certificate to find out who his parents are. Hopefully it is the right William Harry and I will be able to find out how this family is connected to mine, if I am correct on how he is part of my family this William Harry Snr is my Grandfather' 1st cousin. If the connection is correct then I will be able to add this family to my tree.

Again Thank you and I really appreciate your help.

Re: Gerald Delmar Booth

cahkoru — 2009-09-20 02:29:39Z

You may know this already - but I will tell you what I have found.
In the Bridgeport telegram in 1920 it shows that Gerald filed for divorce against Jemima for Cruelty. Jemima was now of parts "unknown" States they were married Feb. 1912. In Dec. the divorce was granted.
Gerald is shown in the Bridgeport Directories until 1828. He was an (electirician) instructor at the State Trade School, 322 John St. for many years. He seemed to have been a big part of the community showing his donations, with his students he built 9 houses, he was part of a lodge. He also made a complaint against the trade school buildings because they were unsafe for the students. He is also named in the article concerning the death of his stepfather - Frank H. Woodruff who died in 1927. Gerald's mother, Lillian was Frank's 3rd wife. Gerald's sisters are also named. Gerald was said to have been living in Stratford at that time. Unfortunately he dissappears in 1928.
In 1920 he lived at 1268 Howard Ave. in Bridgeport
In 1926 he lived at 29 Carver St. in Bridgeport, also shown is Wesley R Booth at that address.
Good luck with the search!

Here are a few things I found that might help::

1917 World War I Draft Registration Card
William Harry Metcalfe, of 120 Wallace St, New Britain, Ct, was born Dec 20, 1892 in Sheffield, Eng. He's married and works at F.W. Loomis as a sheet metal worker. (note: looked like Wallace St, but might be Walnut)

World War II Draft Registration Card
William Harry Metcalfe, born Dec 20, 1891 in Sheffield, Eng. His wife is Catherine M. Metcalfe and he owns W.H. Sheet Metal

1946 New Britain City Directory finds the following Metcalfe's all living at the same address::

Catherine C. a reporter for N.B. Herald
Howard E.
June, is a clerk
Robert, a chauffeur
William H. and wife Barbara. He's a sheet metal worker
Catherine M., widow of William H., who died Nov. 1, 1945, age 53.

Connecticut Death Index

Catherine M. Metcalfe, born about 1893, died April 24, 1967 in New Britain. She was the widow of William

If you'd like a copy of their death records, you can get them thru the New Britain Town Clerk's Office.

Metcalfe Family New Britain Connecticut

gumnutbabe — 2009-09-19 09:33:57Z

I am looking for information on William (Harry) and Catherine (Kitty) Metcalfe or could be spelt Metcalf. Their children are Catherine, William, Robert, Howard and June. In the 1920 and 1930 USA census this family were living in New Britain, Hartford Connecticut. I have only been able to find this family on census' as it seems like it is not easy to search records for Connecticut. I do have copies of a couple of letters that Kitty wrote to my other cousins that lived in Maryland. The latest letter was written in 1944 and the family were living Winthrop St New Britain Connecticut. From what I can work out William is my Grandfather's cousin. From the 1930 census I know he came to the USA from Yorkshire England when he was 1, I found William on the 1910 census as a step son and I am pretty sure his parents are John and Clara Metcalfe. Clara's married name in the 1910 census is Middleton. William had a sister named Violet and a half brother named Alfred. Any help I can get would be grateful.

Oh my gosh. What wonderful information. Mary Jane checks with her father's location in 1884 in New York. Her father William oversaw food "preserving works" in New York and Illinois.
Your resources are fantastic. I recognize the census data but at the present time have only the local library to use.
Again thank you so much. I'm 70 and will need to take double doses now to keep from exploding with the excitement.
Thank you so much.

Thank you for the suggestions. I only had a guess at the SS info and am trying to fit together a few scraps to learn more about that side of the family.
Mary Jane's mother was Blanch Darling of which I am one.

Re: Mary Jane Ronin of Wilton

jdinosw — 2009-09-17 14:05:16Z

Thank you so much. I only had the SS info to start with and was taking a chance that I had the right person. Mary Jane's mother is sister to my great grandfather Loren Darling. I have very little info on that side of the tree. Mary Jane had a brother William that died in 1997, I believe, in new York. They may have been illustrators of children books. Again thank you and if you ever need anything from Oswego County, NY, feel free to ask.

Wilton is in Fairfield County. You might try the Fairfield County message board. You might also try contacting the Wilton public library to find out which newspapers are in that area. It may take some work, but you may be able to find an obituary for her. Maybe you can get a copy of her death certificate. I say maybe because the death certificate would be filled in the town she died in, which may or may not have been her last place of residence.

I am looking for information and maybe an obit for cousin Mary Jane. She was the daughter of James and Blanche Darling Ronin. She was survived by a brother William. My notes say she died 26 Nov. 1992 in Wilton, Ct.

Any information would be appreciated.

I would suggest that you go to http://www.dar.org and request a lookup on Jonathan. If somebody joined the DAR based on his serving in the Revolutionary War, the DAR would have a copy of the application. For a fee you can request a copy of the application from the DAR.
If he had a pension, you can find a copy on "Heritage Quest" which you can access through your local library.

Col. Beardsley's Regt. 4th Brigade, Conn.

kargeno — 2009-09-09 00:23:49Z

Jonathan Williams b. 4-7-1764 Conn. d. 3-11-1836 Pike Co. AL. Served in Col. Beardsley's Regt. 4th Brigade, Conn. Militia. Can someone tell me where this Brigade was located or formed? Reported born in a Colony of Connecticut?
There is a DAR on him and I don't know how to go about finding these papers.
Family: m. 1787 Frances Cowart (1768-1812) Craven Co. NC find NO record of this m. 2. Sarah Bond, Apr 2, 1815 she came with him to Pike Co. AL in 1824. Find no record until he appears in the Pike Co. Census 1830.
Revolutionary Solder (Pension File 1154) DAR Lineage BK Vol. 124, pg. 147; Gen. DAR Report 1915; Al Hist. Quarterly Hist. 1944 Winter Issue p. 672, info submitted by Nehemiah Howard Chap, DAR Pike Co. AL.
How would I go about finding his papers and the above info? All suggestions are greatly appreciated. kindness

No sources in America beyond the biographical reference to George P. Flannery's parents. Irish sources are still being checked, and routinely uploaded to our website periodically on an ongoing basis (visit www.flanneryclan.ie).

Not yet; wanted to send a request to CT, but after reviewing the state and what is available, was disappointed, so haven't done any more with it. Do you have any sources?
