-- NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 

Thanks to the generosity of AGS member Elizabeth Mayland, the 

Austin branch L.D.S. library has a number of indefinite loan micro- 

films relating to New York genealogy, The New York Genealogical @ 

Biographical Record is a publication of the New York Genealogical and 

Biographical Society which was organized in February 1869. This 

publication contains articles about individual and family histories, 

about cemetery and church records, about county and town histories, 

etc. Three of the microfilms on indefinite loan are the surname 

indexes for some of the Record. 

Vols. 1-20 A-K film 0599160 item 1 

Vols. 1-20 L-2 film 0599161 

Vols. 21-40 film 0962872 items 1 & 2 

A subject index of the Record was compiled by Florence Evelyn Pratt 

Youngs. This is a book (974.7, B2n, Index) that is not available 

at the Austin L.D.S. library. 

Volume 1 of the New York Genealogical Biographical Record 

starts with the April 1870 issue. The ind$finite loan collection 

in Austin runs from Vol. 1 through Vol. 85, with a few volumes 

missing after 1900. Vol. 85 put the Record into the 1850's. 

There is a supplement that was published in 1894 for the 25th 

anniversary of the Society. This supplement is on f i l m 0982472, 

item 3. 

If you do not live near the Austin branch L.D.S. library, you 

can access these films by using the locality Catalog microfiche and 

looking at NEW YORK, GENEALOGY, PERIODICALS (NYGBS) .

NEW YORK CITY DIRECTORY/ COMMERCIAL REGISTRY 

The second set of indefinite loan microfilms is the -- New York 

City Directory1 Commercial Registry. The first film is for 1861. 

There are seven rolls of film in this collection, with 1881 being 

the last year covered. 

The preface of the 1861 directory contains an interesting 

account of the history of the directory and of the enormous task 

of canvassing the residences to obtain the information. The 1861 

directory contains 150,303 names! Also bogus canvassers often 

preceded the off.icia1 canvassers and took money from residents 

for the promise of a special listing in the directory. 

Some issues have good maps of New York City. All issues con- 

tain advertisements. It is interesting to note the types of ads 

in the 1860's versus the 1880's. There was an index to the commercial 

registry. For example, if you needed "bird cages" in 1861, you 

checked page 5, "mourning goods", page 41 and "pickles", page 48. 

These microfilms can be accessed by using the Locality Catalog 

microfiche and looking for NEW YORK, NEW YORK, (CITY), DIRECTORY.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 

1. When you visit the Austin branch L.D.S. library to view the 

previously mentioned New York films, remember to look at the.indef- 

inite loan microfiche for New York. We are building a good collection 

of New York material on microfiche. 

2. In the previous Quarterly (Vol. XXXII, No. 1, p. b), I mentioned 

the St. Mary's Infirmary indefinite loan film. This film covers 

from May 1899-December 1903. Each entry contains a case number, 

name, age, occupation, nativity, residence, class, disease, admitted, 

discharged, died and physician. The patients were from all around the 

east, northeast and southeast Texas area, not just from the Galveston 

area. This record is on film 1398717. 

3. The Austin branch L.D.S. library recently received a letter 

from David M. Mayfield, director of the Family History Library in 

Salt Lake City. Mr. Mayfield reported that station KBYU-TV and 

author Alex Haley are working on a new public television program 

called ANCESTORS. The program will feature the dramas researched 

and documented by' family history researchers.

FAMILY LAND HERITAGE PROGRAM 

Each year since 1974 the Texas Department of Agriculture 

has recognized families who have operated a farm or ranch 

on the same land continuously for at least a hundred years. 

Brief histories of the award-winning families, naming the 

successive' land owners and their children and grouped un- 

der the respective county name, are published annually. 

Since the attractive volumes (which include many heirloom 

pictures) have the names of only the current land owners 

in their indexes, AGS Quarterly is attempting to remedy 

that deficiency, as space permits. Instead of page num- 

bers, we group the names by their counties (which cover 

only a few pages each, and are in alphabetical order), as- 

suming that researchers will want to read all about their 

ancestors' neighboring relatives and friends. 

Apologies are offered if some surnames are wrong - sometimes the narratives 

are hard to interpret: as to generations - whether Tom, Dick and Mary are the chil- 

dren of the founder or of his daughter. And, since these books use parentheses 

to indicate maiden name, nickname, previous married name, or future married name 

it is sometimes impossible to determine just what is meant. 

In AGS Quarterly, the usual genealogical practice is followed: Plaiden names 

in parentheses. If a maiden name is unknown, we put three dots in parentheses; 

nicknames are in quotation marks; editorial suggestions in brackets; '!pic" indi- 

cates that there is a picture of family members or buildings on the given page. 

Since Volume 10 covers two years, on page 99 the county names start over for 

1985. To save space, we have alphabetized together the honorees with the same surname 

in both years, so if you don' t find your ancestors in the first section of 

Hamilton County, look in the later one, when consulting the book. 

This continuing feature started in - AGS Quarterly Vole XXIV No. 4, Nov. 1983.

MUSINGS ABOUT NAMES 

How Many Variant Spellings? 

On one of the Ancestor Listing entries in this issue the name Tuberville [sic] 

caught my eye. This is, in all probability, one of a host of names derived from 

a family brought into the limelight by Thomas Hardy's novel, --- Tess of the D'Urbervilles, 

published in 1891. 

George Turberville/Turbervile (1540-1610) was an English poet. 

The heirs of W.S. T'urberville received a bounty warrant and a donation certificate 

for his service ir. the Texas Revolution (awarded in 1851). 

Turberville, Rrbeville and Turbyfill are in the 1991 Austin telephone directory. 

Turbefield, Turberville and Turbyville are in the forthcoming consolidated 

index of - AGS Quarterly. 

I fully expected to find a Derbyville somewhere! What other variants have you 

seen? Please write to the editor so we can publish them. 

Dot Your t's and Cross Your i's! 

0 In a printed list of slaves in Alabama in 1831 appeared a name new to me: 

Chartolle. It was among ordinary names - Annie, Mose, Phyllis and so on - so I 

speculated about its origin. Was it perhaps a French surname? 

As I copied the name by hand I wrote it straight through before crossing the 

t. Then it struck me: If I crossed the double 1 instead of the t, it would be 

Charlotte! And that's what I think happened on the original. 

This small, absent-minded error could make Barttell out of Bartlett, Mallet out 

of Mattel, Hitton of Hilton, Hulton of Hutton, Colton of Cotton, Witton of Wilton, 

Caslon of Caston, and so on. Failure to cross the t's entirely turns Annette into 

hnelle, Jeanette into Jeanelle, Lynette into Lynelle . . . 

And beware of rounded, backhand scrawls that make i's look like e's. When the 

i is only faintly dotted, Milton can be interpreted as Melton. Or the beginning 

letter may make it appear to be Wilton. 

Names scrawled in old family Bibles need careful scrutiny with a magnifying 

glass. Did Nellie/Nettie marry a Biltmore or Beltmore or Bettmore? 

- 

From the preceding Family Land Heritage Program: Have you noticed how German 

families favor names starting with A for their sons? 

One family had children named Lilly, Tilly and Piccidilly. What, no Milly? 

Descendants reported that they had an aunt nmed Maggie Nolia. I suspect 

they did her an injustice and that she was named Magnolia for the beautiful 

blossoms of that fine old tree indigenous to the South. 

-- From the forthcoming consolidated AGSQ Index: I think I noticed three people 

named Missouri Oregon something. MightTey have been born on the trail from 

Missouri to Oregon?

AGS Quarterly Vol. XXXII No. 2 

The Wandolphs of Virginia. By Robert lsham Randolph of Chicago 

(Privately printed, ca.1930 Pp.404. Introduction, index) 

Austin TX 

The Virginia Cays by Fairfax Harrison 

(The DeVinne Press, 1919. Pp. xx>( +194. Introduction, illus., index, supplements) 

Earlier this century, exceptional genealogies were compiled on the Randolphs and 

Carys, two of the more dynastic families of Virginia if not the United States. These 

families numbered in their ranks some of the most noteworthy 18th & 19th century 

Americans, among them Thomas Jefferson, Robert Edward Lee, Edmund & John 

Randolph and John Marshall, as well as persons of more modest accomplishments 

and the expected number of rascals. 

Virginia genealogy may be somewhat bewildering, even to the seasoned genealogist. 

The Randolphs (surname pronounced "RANduff') and the Carys tended to marry 

among themselves, each other, and a select number of other patrician Virginia 

families. Marriages among cousins were quite common, and names were frequently 

reused. The Randolph & Cay books are quite helpful in untieing the Gordian Knot of 

Virginia's first fami I ies. 

The two books, now well over half a century old, are still quite useful. The works take 

somewhat different approaches. The Randolphs of Virginia follows basically just 

the pedigree - births, marriages and deaths - of descendents of William Randolph of 

Turkey Island (1651- 171 1) in both the male and female lines. One yearns for further 

biographical and bibliographical data. Many male family members, for instance, were 

known almost universally by their plantation or city of residence, such as John 

Randolph of Roanoke,%e omission of the geographic portion of their monikers is 

particularly regrettable and rather surprising, as the author pointedly calls himself 

Richard lsham Randolph of Chicago. But perhaps such information is unrealistic, 

considering the staggering number of family members referenced. 

The Virginia Cays is a more traditional family histoy, charting the accomplish- 

ments, genealogical basics, and residences of the descendents in the male line of 

Miles Cary (1622-1667) of Windmill Point. Photographs of family portraits are of 

interest, although maps are not in evidence. Author Harrison, the son and husband of 

Carys, chides as pure larceny by printed asserlion those descended from unrelated 

Carys who suggest kinship with Miles; yet his own hint of a relationship between his 

clan and the Viscounts Falkland an3 the Lord Hunsdon who married May Boleyn is 

curiously undocumented. 

Both books are helpful and accurate as far as they go, but, as expected when 

attempting to document thousands of descendents, whole lines may be uncharted, 

particularly in the instances of who left the Old Dominion for the provinces. Photo- 

copies of both books are now on file at the Texas State Library Genealogy Library.

BOOK REVIEWS 

RECORDS OF IMMANUEL LUI" CHURCH, Wiedeville, Washington County, Texas. 

Volume 11. Translated and Published bv Dr. Edward C, Breitenkamp and Dr. Jack 

Autrey Dabbs, at Bryan and Austin, Texas, 1991. Hardbound, ca 8% x 11"; iv + 

260 pp; full-name index; table of contents. 

This second volume of the records of Immanuel Lutheran Church translated by 

Dr. Breitenkamp and Dr. Dabbs (a valued member of Austin Genealogical Society) 

contains the minutes of Congregational Meetings 1881-1936, followed by records 

of the Women's Aid Society 1910-1945 and many lists of names in various categories 

Also included are such activities of the church as the 1903 Congregational 

Constitution, the Sunday School, Home Missions Union, subscribers to church papers, 

congregational pldeges, lists of communicants (some with the number of 

children), lists of those who performed their duty of excavating graves, etc. 

In this beautifully typed book with generous margins, the composers have 

rendered further assistance to the reader by setting in boldface all proper 

names occurring in the minutes of the congregational meetings. 

The sternly just character of these pioneer members of Imnuel Lutheran 

Church at Wiedeville is revealed in a resolution they passed in 1880: ''ooo such 

members who refuse to contribute to the [new] building costs and therefore withdraw 

or resign, are not to be accepted again elsewhere unless, as restitution, 

they contribute subsequently twice as much as the other members to the building 

costs, according to their status (farm owners or renters)." 

tt 

A three-page Memorandum" synopsizes the history of this congregation from 

late 1869 to November 1881. In 1869, "the congregation consisted of the following 

members: 1 Christian Wide, 2 Heinrich Wide, 3 Fro kemer, 4 H. Harnes, 

5 Joho Geick, 6 Fkiedr, Wiese, 7 Friedr. Wullze, 8 &go Frank, 9 F'riedro 

&tins, 10 F. Redecker, 11 Joh. Wide." [No mention of wives or children] 

The admission of new members (male) was reported in the minutes. 

This book reveals interesting details pertaining to runnin the school 

(taught by the pastor), tolling the bell for deceased persons ? non-members to pay 

a dollar for this service), drilling a water well, calling new pastors (which 

happened frequently ) , withdrawing from the Texas Synod , digging graves ("each 

member shall dig by turns"), and the fining of any member who failed to deliver 

a cartload of wood for use in the church, the parsonage, or the schollhouse. 

In 1891 the congregation voted for the pastor to teach the school in English 

4% months and in German 1% months. There was some disagreement about the language 

to be used in the church service and the sermon, from time to time. 

In the early 1.900s the church fell on hard times: financial deficits, congregational 

meetings adjourned for lack of a quorum, failure of members to show 

up on congregational workdays, default on their pledges by some members, the need 

for repairs on the church's property. In 1911 their schoolhouse was sold for $150 

to the Wiedeville School District. In 1912 this congregation joined with that of 

Gay Hill, sharing the pastor's salary. 

In 1903 these hard-working, pious people formulated a new constitution, adopt- 

It 

ing the name Imnuel Evangelical Lutheran Congregation in Wiedeville. " There 

were 68 communicants (men and women listed separately) named in 1914. 

In that 

year, three yearsbefore the United States declared war on Germany, the congrega- 

tion took up collections for the following significant causes: For invalids, wid- 

ows, and orphans: $5.60; Church building fund: $6.20; District: $10.95; German 

Russians: $7.60; Youth League: $8.90; Reformation: $8.10; Red Cross for Germany: 

$37 00

Several newspaper articles about the 50th anniversary of hanuel Lutheran 

Church in 1921 are quoted. Of special interest to genealogists are four pages 

setting forth the names of members who signed on the first of January 1903, showing 

when they joined the congregation and when they left. Afterwards, there is 

less information about each signer, but there are many tables of names elsewhere. 

The minutes of the Women's Aid Society are also interesting, especially the 

meticulously detailed expenditures: 26 cents for two cans of stove polish; $1.65 

- ostage for a box of clothing to New Guinea; $5 (donated by six peo le) for the 

'Round Rock electric iron"; $1 for cleaning velvet [church hangings 9 ; $1.28 for 

16 dozen paper plates. 

I1 

In March 1937 the secretary recorded: And since there was no business to 

- transact, Pastor Hartman gave a talk on (Christ's) passion." Minutes for 29 

April 1942 reveal that the Women's Aid Society of College Station had to cancel 

plans for a Joint meeting because of the tire shortage. 

Many lists of the members of the Society should be of great interest to genealogists. 

In the Foreword of this volume and in its predecessor, the translators 

explain the variations in the spelling of the German names. 

As may be inferred from the length of the above, this disinterested reviewer 

found the book a fascinating chronicle of a small rural community, characteristic 

of an ethnic settlement which became increasingly American. The translators 

have donated a copy to the Genealogy Collection of Texas State Library.

THE STORY OF THE EARLY SE'ITLEXS OF STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT, 1641-1700, by 

Jeanne Majdalany; including Genealogies of Stamford Families of the 17th Century 

by author and Edith M. Wicks, (c) 1991 by Majdalany. Paper; 5% x 8%; pp. xi +211; 

maps, illustrations, appendix, footnotes, bibliography and index. $17.50 + $3 s&h; 

order #M031 from Heritaie Books, Inc., 1540-E Pointer Ridge Place, Suite 300, 

Bowie MD 20716. 

The history of this settlement begins in 1641 when 29 men left Wethersfield, 

Connecticut to found a village some 75 miles to the southwest on land purchased 

from the New Haven Colony. They soon changed the Indian names of the area to Stamford, 

suggesting Lincolnshire or Yorkshire origins for the majority of the men. 

Interesting details of the day-to-day tasks of building the village, the dangers 

and hardships they endured, and their courage are drawn from Stamford Town Meeting 

Records and a few earlier histories. ?he effects of events in England and Europe, 

wars with the Indians, witchcraft trials elsewhere in New England, and other occur7 

rences are clearly visible in the chronicles of Stamford. Careful reading of this 

book gives one an insight into the early history of almost any New England town. 

Each chapter covers about a decade: beginning 1641 to 1649 and ending 1690 to 

1700. Nearly all the active men of each period are identified, and the destinations 

of many who moved away are mentioned. Unlike many histories which name only the off 

icials of the government and wealthiest land owners, this one refers to @hy in 

humble stations. The 1701 Tax List includes men taxed for property from four pounds 

to 148 pounds. 

An admirable feature of the index is that it "references all names found in 

the historical text, as well as buried names found in the genealogies." Thus one 

can locate all given names under the surname in capital letters with ease.

I AGS Quarterly Vol. XXXII No. 2 Austin TX 

There are several photographs and sketches of old houses which are identified 

in the List of Illustrations in the Preface.A truly outstanding feature of this 

book is a fold-out sheet which contains three plat maps of Stamford at three stages: 

1641-1660, 1661-1680 and 1681-1700. Each homelot is numbered and its owner is 

names. When a lot has had multiple owners in the time period, the successive owners 

and dates of recording the acquisition are given. 

The genealogies of early Stamford families cover about 60 pages and are well 

documented. The co-author, Edith M. Wicks, is currently president of the Stamford 

Genealogical Society, and the happy collaboration of historian and genealogist produced 

a short but detailed biography of the progenitor preceding the condensed 

statistics of his descendants. Fortunate indeed is the reader who finds ancestors 

in this book. 

Many different spellings of some names, as seen in the original records, are 

revealed in these genealogieso Anyone with New England ancestors is likely to find 

collateral relatives in The Early Settlers - of Stamford, or at least some vignettes 

of the kind of life they31 shared, 

Written in a lively, almost conversational style, the book is heartily recommended 

by this reviewer, 

MORE MUSINGS ABOUT NAMES 

Did you ever wonder what ghastly tragedy inspired the name Kilbride? And why 

would a family want to perpetuate the memory of such an occurrence by assuming the 

name Kilbride? 

Well, take heart, all ye who bear the name Kilbride, Kilpatrick, or the like. 

It has nothing to do with murder. 

The noun -- kil/kill (pronounced kill) is from the Gaelic cill, derived from 

the Latin cella, meaning cell. (In Latin, c was pronounced like k. 

That is why 

scholars continue to say Keltic although millions of sports-minded people worship 

"the Seltics." When you hear a choir sing "Gloria in exchelsis," they are harking 

back only to the Italian, not the Latin pronunciation.) 

Back to the cell, which may be defined as a small room (as in a monastery 

or prison) OR as a group of people dedicated to a cause. Just as there have been 

Communist cells, there were cells of people dedicated to a particular saint, such 

as St. Patrick or St. Bridget. St. Bride (a variant form), a patron saint of Ireland, 

chose to remain a virgin and finally went into seclusion in a cell built under 

a large oak in County Kildare. The nane Kilbride was assumed by those who 

were deeply impressed by her saintly behavior and teachings. 

0 - Tne Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names says "The cult of St. Brighid 

(453-52- very populaFin England as well as in Ireland." Modern nicknames 

include Bridey and Biddy.

Rena by Bess Ferris 

Grandmother's house was the first in Oak Cliff to have 

electric wiring. This achievement was due to her'foresight 

and sense of adventure. 

In the early days of electricity, certain homes in 

neighborhoods were chosen to be demonstrators. My 

grandmother read in the newspaper that her section of 

Dallas was next for this advanced technology, and volunteers 

were asked to call the office to make arrangements for 

their homes to be supplied with the proper.wiring. 

Grandmother was among the first in line, and the first 

in oak Cliff, so she got her wish. 

The one room which was chosen by the electric company 

was the front room of the house, which was also 

Grandmother's and Granddaddy's bedroom. Streams of gaping 

people came at all hours of the evening to see this 

marvelous contraption hanging from a single string in 

the middle of he room. We children were fascinated, 

and fought for the pleasure of pulling the chain that 

turned a light bulb into a light. Grandmother was the 

enthusiastic saleslady who gave lectures on the advantages 

of owning an electric light. 

But there were problems. No one could go to bed until 

the last visitor left. Granddaddy wasn't too happy over 

the situation, but solved the problem by taking a mattress 

out to.the back porch, and there he slept for the duration 

of the six weeks period of sales. 

Grandmother later had the entire house wired for 

electricity . 

........................... 

The author is my aunt and this section is excerpted from 

, .an essay she sent to me. 

Grandmother was Mary ,Irene Reaves, called Rena, born 

7 August 1878 in Milam County, TX. She married William 

Sylvanus Ross 22 December 1895. She died in San Angelo, 

Tom Green, TX 29 August 1975 and is buried in Arlington, 

TX (Parkdale). 

A compikd descendant chart is in the Vertical Files

State Library under her parent's names,

I have been fortunate recently to enjoy these remembrances 

of earlier times. Here they are for you, too. 

Milam County, c 1913 

by Carlton Norris 

We all lived such very simple lives in those days. We 

tilled the soil with horses and mules; we had no 

telephones; no way to get around except by horse or foot 

or train. The church building doubled. as the school house. 

My father got very little schooling in the mods of 

Tennessee. Back in those days, they only had school 

about three months out of the year, and people didn't 

think it was all that important to get an education. 

He was self-educated from reading, and was well-versed 

in the Bible. 

We lived in the Little River bottom of Milam County, 

near Davilla, raising hogs and cattle and crops. When 

I was going on five, there was a flood. The water got 

up 26 inches deep on the bottom floor of our house. 

We had an upstairs and plenty of groceries. I remember 

my dad and Uncle Quint wading around in the water, trying 

to tend to the stock. 

Great Grandma Johnson was about the calmest person there. 

She would crack pecans for us kids and tell us stories. 

She said the Good Lord muld take care of us, and He 

did! There were no casualties. They took us out of 

there in a boat, from the window, to high ground. My 

two older brothers, Claude and Albert left first, with 

two men, but their boat took on water, and they had to 

get up in a tree for a time. 

They weren't too far from 

Aunt Lillie's house, and saw the door wash open, and 

some things floated out. She later chided them for not 

getting down and shutting the door. 

We went to Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Rufe's house because 

it was at the top of a hill. Water was all around, like 

an island. I went to sleep on the way there and don't 

remember getting out of the boat, nor do I remember how 

long the flood lasted. 

We had some very enjoyable times back there. 

enjoyed all those years we were there. 

I really

Carleton Norris was born 11 Feb 1909, and lives in Houston. 

He is one of my Reaves kin. His father was James Albert 

Norris, and mother was Samantha Ann Reaves.

to them in June, 1856, was named ItCharlotte A9,4;usta,!: the naues 

of William's two sisters back in St. Johnsbury. 

The census of 1860 shows William and his family living on

I an a great-grandaughter of William Brockway who came 

to Texas about 1869. Horace, the first child born in Texas, 

was ny grendfath2r. 'IPzpsi! used to tcll xe that his father 

came to Toxas from liIulrey, Mississippi.1! and. bgfore that had 

coEe frorr; Xorth Ccrolina. ihidentlg, Horace ciicl not know that 

his father originnlly left, from Vern!or,t.

in college in 1949 when 3- p;:ofoosor eifisit;iiGd 2 pl-oject to CGEpile

Down through the years, 1 continued to puzzle OVZT how th;o 

unusual name of Brockwajr arrived in Texas. In the 19'101s, I began 

to do rosearch at the Clayton Genealogical Library in Houston, 

but IZIS never able to bridge the gap between my name and the early 

Brockways in Connecticut. 

In 1778, our daughter, Julie, while attending Boston Univcr

Par& 111: MY ODYSSEY CONTINUES, 1991 

by Ghita Brockway Carter (9th generation 

descendant of Wolston Brockway) 

In the fall of 1990, my sister, Ruthanne Brockway, happened 

to pick up a copy of "Yankee Magazine" and spotted an 

ad concerning descendants of Wolston Brockway and a possible 

reunion. She contacted John Brockway of Pawling, N.Y., who 

set this nationwide reunion for April 6, 1991, in Lyme, CT, 

where our original ancestor settled in 1663. 

After Ruthanne and my husband and I made plans to attend, 

a cousin from San Diego, Pat Byrd, who is also an avid genealogist, 

decided to join us. We wanted to make this a week of 

exploration by retracing other areas where our ancestors migrated. 

After our flights converged in Hartford, CT, we drove 

to St. Johnsbury, VT, \:here we visited cemeteries, delved into 

Municipal Office records, and at the Caledonia Co. Courthouse, 

got copies of the wills of William Brockway who died in 1818 

and Harris Brockway, 1870. Going back even earlier, we next 

drove to Keene, NH, where in the Cheshire Co. Courthouse, we 

examined with awe the fragile 1789 will of our 3rd generation 

Wolston. Nearby, in the tiny village of Surry, we found the 

ancient slate gravestone of this Wolston, 1711-1789. 

By April 6th, we had arrived in Lyme for this first ever 

reunion of descendants of the Wolston who arrived in 1663 to 

settle in the New World. John Brockway had planned well with 

a packet of information, displays of pictures and other data, 

and many ways to share during the day. Speakers included a 

Lyme resident who lives at Brockway's Ferry and a local historian/author. 

Special order T-shirts were available and we posed 

for a group photo at the end of the day. About 75-80 people 

were able to attend with many more sending responses and showing 

interest. That evening, in Old Saybrooke, the group had dinner 

at the "Dock and Dinel' Restaurant on the shore of the Connecticut 

River, continuing to share our mutual heritage. 

On Sunday, we attended services at the First Congregational 

Church and enjoyed meeting local residents. That afternoon, the 

reunion group made a tour of the Duck River, Joshuatown, and Hamburg 

Cove Cemeteries, as well as the Brockway's Ferry area, 

where John continued to point out historical landmarks and read 

from early history. Early Brockways once had a shipyard here, 

and for many years, operated a ferry across the Connecticut River. 

On Monday, we had time for a trip to the Lyme Library and 

last glimpses of the yellow forsythia in bloom everywhere as we 

drove to Hartford for our departure after a week of memorable 

discovery and camaraderie as we shared in the joy of family 

history. Besides the memories, the many pictures and documents 

to process and organize will keep me busy for some time! 

This year I have also learned of the llWolston Brockway 

Information Exchange," a newsletter printed by Walter Brockway 

of Miami, FL, which makes it possible to share information 

and family history. In addition, Stephen Brockway of Council 

Bluffs, IA is serving as the archivist for the family, com- 

piling computer files for all data that is sent to him. Since 

he is a Mormon and a very dedicated, competent person, we are 

assured of excellent record-keeping.

SUBMISSION BY: JERRY A. HUNT, 7105 SANSIVERA COVE, AUSTIN9 TX 78750 

In the fo1,lowing sections and pages, I am going to tell you what I 

know --plus what I think--about certain persons and families that make 

UP my ancestry. I will also mention some searchers for some of the 

same people--either deceased or currently "into the ancestral chase". 

The last page of this entry will be my current Ahnentafel Chart, as 

best I can put it together for a publication such as this. 

I wrote a few pages la5t year on the _H_u_N_T branch of my ancestry, and 

will start this with some HUNT-related comments. 

I still need help in resolving the connection between my THOMAS HUNT, 

of Little Creek, Franklin Co. NC and the older HUNT line of WILLIAM 

HUNT(T) of Isle of Wight Co. VA. There was another THOMAS HUNT in 

the GRANVILLE/FRANKLIN CO. NC area at the same time as my ancestor, 

who lived "up the river"9 meaning (I think) the TARR River. The time 

of all these Hunts was the mid-1700's. My Thomas was born about 

1720--I don't know where--and died about 1791 in Franklin Co. NC. 

If anyone is doing any research on the HARP53 lines of Gibson Co. TN, 

I would appreciate a call. The only thing I know about my grand- 

mother is her name and the date she married my grandfather. Her name 

was LOLLIE F. HARPER, and she married JAMES GRANVILLE HUNT on 26 NOV 

1891, in Gibson Co. TN. There are no Hunts left to ask of this, and 

there were many Harpers in the area in the late 1800's. 

One of my later- ancestors was a G_A_y_. NANCY GAY, daughter of JOHN GAY 

of Franklin Co. NC, married ELLERY HARDY HUNT in NC, Jan. 1803. They 

then moved on to Sumner/Wilson Co. TN, then to Gibson Co. TN. There 

were many GAYS in the early VA Tidewater counties, and later in the 

Bertie/Edgecombe/Granville/Franklin/Nash Co. NC area. I would like 

to establish the ancestry o f my JOHN GAY, born about 1753 in NC, and 

died about Dec 1808 in Franklin Co. NC. His son, also JOHN GAY, was 

also a Gibson Co. TN settler, moving along with the HUNT (and other) 

families into Middle TN, then West TN. The second John Gay's 

descendants moved on to Graham/Olney Texas, I think, along with some 

of the HUNT linage. 

Incidentally, some o f my common TN HUNT line moved to Hallsville and 

Gladewater TX---brothers of those who moved to Olney. 

The early families moved quite often in group5;. I believe that 

several of my lines moved from 'JA to NC to TN, almost in lock-step 

with each other. Another of my lines is the T_r?_y_L_o_R_ one. One o f my 

ancestors was MILES CHRISTOPHER TAYLOR, born AUG 1827, in TN. It is 

possible he was even born in Gibson Co. TN, but it is more likely he 

was born in Sumner/Wilson/Robertson Co TN. I think his family moved 

with the HUNT/GAY/THOMAS/MASSEY/WEBB/BABB groups a5 they migrated on 

the westward march. It is believed by some of my cousins that one of 

my early relatives married a SARAH TAYLOR, daughter of a LABAN TAYLOR 

of Franklin Co. NC, which could be an earlier part o f my Taylor line.

Again, back in old NC, the Revolutionary War was helped by my l3gEJy 

ancestry. The records show GEORGE CONWAV BOOTH(E1 as a patriot, and 

dweller of WARREN Co. NC in later years. His son SAMUEL BOOTH, wa5 

born in NC about 1797, but he moved on to Wilson Co. TN9 and died in 

Gibson Co. TN--I don’t know when. I w ould like to know of some other 

BOOTH(E) searchers, and I’d bet there are some. I k now a lot of the 

later year ones moved to TX, even to Round Rock and Taylor, etc. 

Samuel Booth married a woman named SARAH LOUISA GRAVES, who, I think, 

was born about 1811, in Wilson Co. TN. She died in Jan 1860, in my 

old Gibson Co. TN area. Are there any GRAVES searchers out there who 

might have some connections back to early Middle TN? This is the 

only GRAVES contact I have made so far. 

Samuel Booth had a daughter named SARAH LOUISA, who married my near- 

in MAYFIELD_ ancestor, JOHN NICHOLAS MFSVFIELD. His letters back home 

to hi5 young wife during the C i v i l War are currently being featured 

in the Mid-West TN Genealogical Society Quarterly Publication. Any- 

way, he is the descendant of JFSMES MAYFIELD (15t), who was born about 

1725, location unknown, and died in APR 1780, DAVIDSON Co. NC/TN. 

There have been several articles in book5 on old southern families 

that have included the James Mayfield line, but most of us would like 

to get some very early information. 

James Mayfield (1st) had a son named ISAAC MAYFIELD, and ISAAC’S son 

was ELIAS MAYFIELD. Elias married JANE (JENNY) ELEMING, the daughter 

of RALPH FLEMING and HANNAH BOYD. Ralph Fleming married Hannah about 

13 APR 1791, in Davidson Co. NC/TN, and died about 1821 in Williamson 

Co. TN. His last name has been spelled FLEMMON, but I believe the 

correct way is FLEMING. HANNFSH BOYD died before l(303. 

Backing up a bit, to my TAVLOR line--MILES TAYL.OR married MARTHA ANN 

- MEREDITH - - - - - - - in 1858, in Gibson 20. TN. Martha Ann’s father was RILEY 

MEREDITH, son of FREDERICK MEREDITH and MARY FULTON. It has been 

told to me by Mr. Ralph Walker of Mansfield, TX, that Frederick was 

born about 1770 in NC, and married Mary Fulton about 1800, Anderson 

Co. TN, 

around? 

and he died about 1826 in Wayne Co. TN. Any MEREDITH info. 

Again, according to Mr. Walker, MARY FLJLTON’c, line goes back to the 

old country (Ireland). Samuel E_U_LL_TQ_N, Sr., we think, was born in. 

Londonderry IRELAND about 1700 and died about 1760 in LANCASTER Co. 

PA. Mary’s subsequent linage was Samuel Fulton, Jr. (Lancaster Co. 

PA, 1725-?) and JOHN FULTON, born about 1747: died 18 Feb 1788, in 

Pulaski Co. VA. Ralph Walker and I would like very much to talk to 

other MEREDITH and FULTON seekers. 

There are other family names listed on the Ahnentafel page that I 

haven’t talked about here. If you see some common interest there, 

please get in touch. I KNOW there were any number of old ‘JAINC 

HUNT families who migrated on to TX, many of them via TN, but also 

a lot from GA. The same is true for GaV. 

My ALLEN line I am currently working out with “cousins” in TN. I am 

interested in the ALLENs who have originated in Gibson Co. There 

also some FITZGERALD lines mixed in with them, as well!

Wtoros Note: Apparently the Henegars place the month before the day 

in their dates, but one cannot be sure when people use figures instead 

of words for monthso This is especially dangerous in &so Henegar's narrative, 

as she has no day higher than 119 which could be a month or a 

day. Most printed forms use day - month - year. AGS Quarterly pGfers 

the three-letter abbreviations for months. 

Lois Catherine SPRACHER HENEGAR 8520 Brookfield Dr. Austin 'IX 78758 

Last year, my first year of retirement, gave me t i m e to 

create a book of genealogy on my family. This was from many 

notes and records that my mother had enthusiastically 

preserved. I 

am sorry that I did not have time or take t i m e to get more 

involved while she lived, so that I could ask more questions. 

The page to the right is my ancestor chart; I have more names 

in my Mother's family; ie: 

Sat-ah Dickens' mother was Mary Wiles Washington, b 1804 in 

Washington County, Ga. (her mother's name was also Sarah) 

Newton B Lynn.s parents were William Newton Lynn b 8-6-1784 

in Warren County, Ga.; his mother was Mary West t; 8-11-1786 

in Washington County, Ga. 

William N. Lynn was a Jr. : h is dad came to America in about

The Lynns and GodwinE came to north Texas from Alabama, the 

last residence there was it-? Bu.tiei-- County. They were farmers 

in Collin County, many are buried at the Princeton Cemetery. 

The Sprachet-s came to Texas from Tazewell County, Virginia, 

Burk.es Garden area iii about 1875, we think. My Grandpa's 

family were in a wagon train of abcut 50 wagons: coming to 

Texas for farm work advertised by circulars about available 

work after the slaves were freed. Many Eiaughs, Sitters, and 

Sprachers are buried in the cemetery in Eurkes Garden, A very 

beautiful place. The Sprachers settled in Red River County? 

Tx where my father was born. I grew up in Choctaw County 

Oklahoma. 

Genealogy Research is a disease and I think I have a severe 

case, if anyone has information to share. Would tje happy to 

discuss the names and what information I have about them. 

Thanks to our society staff for the great job they all do for 

us, we DO appreciate you all.

AUSTIN GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY 

Ancestor Listing 

Harold "Hal" E. HENEGAR 8520 Brookfield Drive, Austin TX 78758 

George Washington Henegar's father was Hiram, 1802-1836 

Ten years ago my ancestral families' descendents began an 

annual REUNION, in Alabama where my grandfather was born. 

The second year Lois and I attended the occasion, WOW! 

We located my grand parents marriage licence in Fort Payne, 

Alabama, courthouse of the county of DeKalb. My interest was 

aroused as to who was in my past and why my grandfather left 

Alabama and came to Bell County Texas, where my father Wac, 

born. 

This reunion is held in the City Park at the town of Henager 

the third weekend of July. W e have had some people from many 

states attend. W e have m e t many fine family members and have 

made many friends of our family members. Before the reunions 

one cousin had already begun compiling records about all the 

family; we have a lovely book about seven generations of the 

Henegar c lans. 

Since this book was published in 1986 more information has 

been learned. W e have learned that t-liram has at least two 

o t her bro tt-lers, one named Moses ; and some of his descendents 

have attended the reunions. 

A very interesting fact is that my Grandmother Henegar was a 

Driskill. Colonel Driskill who was founder and builder of 

DUT famous Dr ishil 1 Hotel ? here in Austin, was her Unc le. 

My mother's family lived near Waco, near Leroy where she and 

several of the children were born. Her dad, Peter German was 

a blacksmith. The family moved to Choctaw County, Oklahoma 

between 1910 and 1914. That is where I was brought up. 

My grandpa Henegar mov,ed his family to Indian Territory after 

1904 but before 1907. They also settled in Choctaw County. 

Grandpa was a farmer, taught school in eat- l y years and sold 

Watkins products in latter years. 

Lois and I attended Betty Kaiser's class last spring about 

the process and possibilities of family research. That was a 

great experience, made new friends and learned that we have 

much more work to do on our familv records. 

W e have a cc~py of "The Henegar Heritage" book which we want 

to give to the Society, to be placed in the state library. 

W e do appreciate the efforts of a1 1 who keep the society up 

to date and all the good programs provided. The workers in

Hugh FREER Sr. and Louis BWIER Sr. were amoung the twelve patentees of New 

Paltz. After learning from earlier mistakes they purchased land from the 

Indians for a price including a mare and stallion, 40 kettles, 60 blankets, 

100 needles and much more while allowing the Indians free access for hunting 

and fishing so were allowed to live in peace. The stone houses built by the 

Freers, Beviers and other French Hugenot settlers of New Paltz may still be 

visited during the summer months,
