[NI00020] Charles Wolf was the name used by Charles Beebe when he served in the
Civil War in Alabama.

[NI00035] The story was told that he was in the south part of the county driving
cattle
home for the winter when some broke away. Frank swam the Kankakee River
and
walked home, many miles, in his soaked clothing. The over exposure
resulted
in acute pnuemonia and gripple. His death at age 31 shocked the community.
He lived in Porter County his entire life. Attended Valparaiso University
where he studied languages, including French, German & Spanish.

[NI00037] 1900 moved from Elkhart, Indiana to Flasher, North Dakota; 1909 bought a
farm in Klamouth Falls, OR & i in Lynden, WA. Moved to the latter; 1917
moved
back to ND; 1925 moved to Peace River in British Columbia w/ son Frank;
1940 moved to Oaksville, WA w/ son John.

[NI00039] Ida May was driving to Valparaiso some months after Frank's death when her
horse became frightened at a train; the carriage overturned and a spoke of
the wheel pierced her lung. She did not recover from the accident and
died a
few months later. The 3 children then living were reared by relatives.

[NI00042] Died while in college. It is known that she was living at the time of her
father's death, when she would have been over 6 yrs old (according to the
ages of the other known younger children). After her mother's death,
she went with her sister Vera to live with their uncle Elmer Wolf.

[NI00043] After her mother's death, Vera went with her sister Ruby to live with
their uncle Elmer Wolf. Completed her grammar school education in
Morton Co., North Dakota. Attended Randolph Macon College until her work
was interrupted by a severe illness. She and Ed ran a diary farm near
Flasher, N.D. until 1928, when they moved to her native county.
She died there of diabetes.

[NI00044] Kenneth was less than 1 yr old when his father died and a little over 2
when
his mother died. He then lived with his paternal grandmother Susan Wolf,
at
the home of his uncle Martin Wolf until he was about 13. At that time his
grandmother died and his uncle moved Chicago & later to California.
Kenneth
then lived with his Elmer Wolf for 2 yrs, then with his maternal aunt
Phoebe Arnold Eaton. He graduated from Valparaiso HS. He earned a degree
at
Purdue university in 1915. [SOURCE: Clara Joan (Shafer) Cullison. 1997]

[NI00049] Graduated from Valparaiso university, where she also did post-graduate
work
and won a gold medal in grand recital. She was to teach music at the
University of Louisiana, a plan she gave up when she married. The young
couple moved to Lynden, Washington 2 yrs after their marriage. They sold
out
in 1918 in order to homestead in the Peace River Country, B.C.,
where she died. [SOURCE: Clara Joan (Shafer) Cullison. 1997]

[NI00053] Never married

[NI00054] Attended Washington State College. Operated a saw mill. Never married.

[NI00080] The identity of Mary, the mother of the Barmore clan, is shrouded in the mysts of time, possibly forever. It is further confounded by her daughter-in-law, Mary Smith, wife of James Barmore, as these early minutes of the Turkey Creek Baptist Church attest:

[NI00080] 1785 - Mary Baremore - dismission
1786 - Nov. 11 -- received Mary Baremore by letter
Were these refering to Mary, wife of Goerge Sr., or wife of James?
~~~~~~~
In 1979 we found some documents in Charleston which contained relationships we could not place. And still I cannot determine their exact relationship, but I know this info sheds light on the ancestry of at least one of these two Marys. Please let me know if you have more
clues!

[NI00080] "Settlement of Estate of Mary C Dupont" dated 7 May 1818, SC Archives, Misc. Records, Vol 4-0, pp. 391-393.

[NI00080] "Mary Colley Dupont, late of Charleston, widow, deceased did in & by her last will & testament bearing date 8th day of August in the year of our Lord 1816..."

[NI00080] Quoting the will, "...to my nephew Jesse W Norris as the sun full due. To the 5 children of Mrs Elizabeth Reeves of Pendelton District $100 each, to the children of John Swain the sum of $500 between them in equal share.... All the rest of the proceeds of the sales of the said lotts,
houses, & shares, I direct shall be equally divided between my nephews & nieces, viz John Swain, Mary Swain, & Robert Swain of Abbeville and Elizabeth Reeves & Jane Norris of Pendleton Districts share & share alike "

[NI00080] "And whereas we are all at present residing at a distance from Charleston & cannot give our personal attendance there for the purpose of receiving our said proportions of the rest & residues of the net proceeds of the sales of the said real & personal property... Now know ye that we John Swain, James Barmore & Mary his wife, late Mary Swain & Robert Swain of the district of Abbeville and John Reeves & Elizabeth Reeves his wife and Jane Norris widow of John Norris of the district of Pendelton in the state oforesaid have jointly & saverally made ordained & constituted & appointed & by there presents do jointly and lawfully make ordain constitute & appoint Jesse W Norris our true & lawful attorney...."

[NI00080] Signed by John Swain, James Barmore, Mary Barmore, Robert Swain, John Reeves, Elizabeth Reeves, Jane Norris. Sealed & delivered in the presence of John Reeves Jr & Ezekial Norris. South Carolina, Pendelton District
~~~~~~~
Thus, either James was a nephew or Mary was a niece of Mary Dupont and VERY closely related to the Swain family. It seems likely to me that the late Mary Swain was either the mother of James or Mary [prob. Mary]. Why else would they be the only ones not mentioned directly as the heads of family in the will, but as recipients of the residue of the estate, which
went to Mary Dupont's nieces & nephews.
~~~~~~~
Margaret Watson in her "Greenwood County Scetches," pp. 373-374, talks about the Nimrod Smith family which came from Prince William Co., VA to the Turkey Creek Community in Abbeville Distrist. He would have been just a tad younger than Mary Smith Barmore. Several children of Nimrod Smith married Swain. This connection seems hopeful and I will be looking into this in the future.

[NI00125] Some years after George Barmore's death, his widow, Nancy (Pyles) Barmore, with her children (with the exception of James) moved to Alabama. She at one time lived in Pickens County, Alabama, near McBee Creek and near where Robert Henry lived: in the northwestern part of the county, near the Alabama - Mississippi line. Her son Dale is said to have been killed in a storm there. In 1850 she was living with her son, Newton N. Barmore, in Fayette County, Alabama, and in 1860 she was living with him in Wellborn Township, Conway County, Arkansas, in or near the town of Lewisburg.

[NI00214] Sgt. Milford N. Barmore, now stationed in Africa while en route to an unannounced destination, stresses the importance of mail to the boys in the armed forces in a letter received this week by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nolan Barmore, Coleman [Texas].

[NI00214] Sgt. Barmore, member of the AAF, writes as follows:

[NI00214] Somewhere in Africa
Feb. 28, 1944
Dear Mom and Dad:

[NI00214] Well, how are you making it by now? As for me I am still kicking, but a little lonesome and blue. But I guess everyone on this side of the pond is that way, so I guess I'm not by myself.

[NI00214] I am still in Africa. Don't know how long I will remain in the place where I am now. The natives here are a sight to see. Some times I wish that I had brought my camera with me, so I could get some pictures of the different places I've been and will be so I could take them back to the States with me. The natives all dress in long robes and are all barefooted.

[NI00214] I will be glad to get to my destination. That is if I have one. Maybe I will have some mail. It has been so long since I have gotten a letter from anyone. It will really be good to hear how things are still going back there at home. But I guess it is all about the same. I used to think
that it was pretty dull there around home. But, believe me, when you get over here where you can't drop in just anywhere and get a "coke" or some ice cream, you remember the good old place you call home.

[NI00214] I would be perfectly satisfied this morning if I was back there. Yes, I guess I would just lay around for awhile, just enjoying the pleasure of living. Then I would be content to get somewhere and settle down. That sounds funny, me wanting to settle down, doesn't it? But a little place to call my own is all I want when I return. I guess a lot of us boys will be changed when we get back. I know I will.

[NI00214] Well, I had better close for now. Be real good and keep things going back there, and we'll all be home soon I'm sure. It's just the backing that keeps things rolling over here. Write every chance you get. Because I will be longing for your good letters. Until then I remain,

[NI00214] Your loving son, BILL

[NI00466] At the 8 Feb 1817 meeting of Turkey Creek Baptist Church, "Sr Sally Dodson applied through Br Wm Long for a letter of dismission" which was granted. This probably indicates the time when Wm & Sarah Dodson & their family left Abbeville Co. & moved to Tuscaloosa Co., AL.

[NI00466] The minutes of Old Union Primitive Baptist church of Fayette Co., AL, of which Lemuel Dodson served as Church clerk for many yrs, show that Sarah (Sally) Dodson was rec'd into their fellowship. No mention is found in these minutes of Wm Dodson, and it is assumed that he left the church permanently after being disowned by Turkey Creek Church in 1816.

[NI00558] Wills of Richmond County, VA, Vol 5, FHC microfilm 0033677, pg 20: Will of John Gower: "beloved wife Susanna Gower; son Francis Gower; his 3 sisters Anne, Winifred, Elizabeth; son Francis Gower; daughter Ann Thrift; daughter Elizabeth Gowwer; wife Susannah Gower; daughter Winifred Gower." At court 5 Oct 1726.

[NI00571] Michael & Anna moved across Saluda River from Laurens Co. into Abbeville
(Greenwood) Co. early in the 1790s. Their home was near Ware Shoals on the
south side of the road leading to Shoals Junction. Both became members of
Turkey Creek Baptist Church in 1792. His tombstone reads Michael McGee and
"he was a soldier in the Revolutionary War." His name is spelled Magee in
church records. In his estate settlement "McGee" is the spelling, but
some of
his children spelled their names Magee.

[NI00572] Mrs. Paul G. Herman of Burbank, CA, assembled family data over a period of
nearly 40 years and in 1968 compiled a booklet, "The Descendants of
Michael McGee & Anna Melvina Simms." A copy of this very detailed listing
was
given to the County Historical Society collection in the Greenwood Public
Library. The records which follow in this database are in part from the
book
"Greenwood County Sketches" by Margaret Watson, 1970, which are condensed
from said work.

[NI00573] William was a farmer, preacher and contractor. He built a short stretch
of the
railroad westward from Greenwood. Minutes of Turkey Creek & Walnut Grove
Baptist churches mention sermons by "Rev. William Magee."
He moved to Anderson County.

[NI00574] Of William & Aseneth's nine children, only three remained in the area:
Michael, Nancy Louisa, and Abner Hill.

Indenture made 7 July 1835 between Robert Dowdy of the state of Alabama and the County of Benton to William M. Bell of the state of Georgia, County of Hall, for $650.00 one tract on the waters of Walnut Creek originally granted James King and Robertson, adjoining John Lott.
Witnesses: J. B. Payne, Robert Dowdy, James McConnel, JP.
Recorded 10 July 1835

[NI00613] SOURCE: "Notable Southern Families" Vol 3, by Zella Armstrong in 1926.
The surname, Tonnelier, derived from an occupation, meaning "barrel maker or cooper." Our ancestors were French Huguenots who escaped their native France because of religious persecution, several years after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Guillaume, his wife, and first son, Guillaume, fled to England in 1702 and settled near Scarbrough, North Riding, Yorkshire. There, the name was Anglocized to Tunnel. The second L was added after the family later came to America.

[NI00613] HISTORY LESSON: The Edict of Nantes (April 13, 1598) during the reign of Henry IV (1589-1610) put an end to religious conflicts, as a result of long negotiations with the assemblies of the Protestant churches. Protestants (Huguenots) were given the right to live in the Kingdom and equality of citizenship; their worship could be celebrated privately in the houses of seingeurs haut-justiciers (greater nobles), and publicly in places where it was celebrated in 1576 or where its celebration had been permitted by edicts of 1557, 1579 and 1580. Whereas all these terms constituted a state of toleration rather than freedom of conscience, there were additional privileges as well, including the right to fortify the places they still held and the right to hold assemblies of the religion. Louis XIV (1661-1715), the "most Christian king and eldest son of the church," considered himself the ruler of the souls of his subjects. Thus he felt himself called upon to establish the unity of the faith (Catholicism) and to repress all dissent.

[NI00622] "On July 8 Charles (3) Dodson leased land in old Rappahannock County.
Rappahannock Co. became extinct in 1692 being divided into Essex and
Richmond counties. Charles (3) Dodson owned land in both counties but
resided in North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., Va., where he became a
large land owner.

[NI00622] "The records show that from 1680 to 1692 he was busy acquiring land which
he and his sons proceeded to improve, and indicated that he had the
confidence of his neighbors. We find him witnessing various documents and
on several occasions he is named in wills as Executor. In a will of John
Lincoln dictated Dec. 18, 1686, the comment was made in the affidavit of
witnesses that the maker of the will 'would have no other but Charles
Dodson as his executor
although several insisted that he have his wife.'

[NI00622] "Until 1686 the Episcopal Church was the State church in Virginia. All
children, regardless of religious affiliation, were required to be
baptized by the ministers of the church. Dates of birth and names of
their parents were recorded in the parish registers. The same information
was taken of marriages and burials. These church records are preserved.
They are available in the Virginia State Library in Richmond, Va.

[NI00622] Source: "Ancestors of Robert Dodson and His Descendants." Written by Mrs.
C. T. Dodson; Illustrated by Miss Oneida Uzzell. Privately published,
[1964?] (Note: This book is 115 p. and is located in the Dallas Public
Library, Dallas, TX, call # R929.2 D647d). References found online at href="http://pages.prodigy.net/wchs/puzzles.html"> Dodson Puzzles.

[NI00622] In his Will, Charles Dodson, Sr. bequeathed to his wife, Ann, and to his
daughters "moveable estate." To each of his sons, he gave a tract of land
with the restriction that the land could not be sold out of the Dodson
name "escept that one brother selleth to another and if no male heir
appeareth by none of my sons that then my Daughters may Inherit the
Land." This provisio caused some consternation and problem for those of
his sons who later wanted to sell out & leave the area. Several, upon
deciding to leave, sold to brothers; one leased to another man "for three
natural lifetimes."

[NI00623] Benjamine Dodson gave his daughter a legacy of land on the James River in
Essex Co., VA, May 1652. This joined John Hill, Sr.'s land.

[NI00623] Ann married John Hill Jr. by 3 July 1706 on which date John Hill and
wife, Anne, executrix of the Last Will & Testament of Charles Dodson,
dec'd, petitioned the court for an appraisement of the estate. The court
ordered John Rankin, William Smoote, John Mills & Richard White, or any 3
of them, to meet at the house of John Hill and appraise & inventory the
estate & reprot to the next court [Richmond Co. Order Bk 4, p. 171].

[NI00623] Thomas Dodson brought an action in court "against John Hill marrying the
Executrix of Charles Dodson." The action was dismissed by the court on 3
Apr 1707, "the plaintiff not prosecuting" [Richmond Co. Order Bk 4, p/
262]. The reason for the court action was not explained.

[NI00627] In 1768, shortly before his death, Abraham Dodson & Wm. Stamps were 2 of
the trustees of the Baptist Church to whom Jacob Hays and wife,
Katherine, sold one acre, "being part of the land where Hays now lives"
[Fauquier deeds 3-151]. Apparently this was the site of Broad Run Church.

[NI00628] Barbary Dodson evidently had problems with her faith, for the
notification is given beside her name on the membership roll "consigned
1772." The meaning of this is unclear but could mean that she was
banished or excluded from membership because of some noncomformity. On 29
July 1780, Joseph Drury was appointed to the task of bringing Sister
Barbary Dodson "to our next meeting to answer her Censor which has laid a
long time."

[NI00629] Enoch & Elizabeth Dodson signed the church charter for Turkey Creek
Baptist
Church which was adopted soon after the church was constituted
(i.e., soon after Jan. 22, 1785).
Enoch's will, filed at Abbeville, was signed in 1811, 5 years before he
died.

Dowdy Family Bible

[NI00724] OBITUARY for Marcus L. Dowdy (from newspaper clipping): "Was born in Monroe County Georgia, 1824; died Feb 5, 1897; age 72 years and two months. Died with congestion of the heart. Only lived 30 minutes after he was taken. He had went to Hico on business; was taken sick in town; a doctor was called in at once, but to no avail; the angel of death had come, whose mission is sure, and taken him home. Bro. Dowdy emigrated to Alabama with his parents in 1834. In 1845 was married to Miss Bettie Sides. To this union was born 12 children; four are dead and eight living. In 1850 emigrated to Houston County, Texas. Professed a hope in Christ in 1860. United with Antioch church same year. Was baptized by Eld. Mose Denman. In 1871 drew his letter and moved to Erath county, Tex., and united with Hopewell church. In 1879 was ordained to the office of deacon. Surely a good man and true friend to Israel is gone. He was known by all Baptists in this country, especially the care worn minister. His doors were ever open to brethren; always ready to help them in time of need. Much could be said of this great man, but this is sufficient. The old sister wants the Baptists to know that her doors will be open to them as long as she lives."

[NI00746] "I have proved the Bailey genealogy back to the 1630s. I have records back to 1583, but have not proved that they are the same family, only that I have record that William Bailey, born in 1583, came to America in 1608. He had a son named Thomas. Thomas & Stephen Bailey bought land side by side in VA at the same time. By records of their ages, Stephen could be, and I believe, the son of Thomas.

From "Early Settlers of Lee Co., VA", p. 29:
"Stephen Bailey, the immigrant, is believed to be the progenitor of the Lee Co., VA, Baileys. His descendants have spread over Virginia and other states. He received a land grant in 1657 from the King of England, in Northumberland (later Westmoreland Co.,) VA. "A descendant of Stephen
Bailey, Mrs. Clara Bailey Beal, kindly wrote the following: 'Stephen Bailey was seated on the bluff overlooking the river at Kinsale, VA, in 1657. The property is still in the hands of the Bailey family and the graveyard well kept.' "Stephen Bailey married Ann Walker, widow of William Walker. His will was probated in 1697. It named his sons William and John, and daughters Ann and Mary Smith, and Ann, daughter of Stephen Bailey, indicating he had another son named Stephen."

[NI01158] "Wordens Pond is an irregular sheet of water, I should judge one or two miles North and South, and two or three East and West.. Part of its shores are wooded and swampy, and the water in it quite shallow, as shown by the grass growing in it for some distance. I suppose it has been the baptismal grave of many hundreds. Uncle Lake Sanders said the Pond, with the waters into and from it, 'used to be capital for fishing; before the plaguey Mills spoiled it.' The Legislature of 1783 passed 'an act for draining Worden's Pond,' and in 1811 an 'inquiry' was made about it: so I conclude nothing was done to 'the Great Pond,' as styled by some of the present day" [1868]. [Src: ONW, p47]

[NI01159] Enoch studied medicine at the Medical College of SC at Charleston, and
with Abbeville physician Dr. Marshall Weatherall. He began his practice
in 1830. After his marriage, he moved to the village of Due West, SC and
continued his practice until poor health caused him to retire from
practice. He then operated a store in Due West. He was on the first Board
of Trustees of Erskine College when it was opened in 1839.

with his father & sisters. Their home site is not known, but is believed
to be
near the town of Hodges named c. 1855 for John's oldest son. John joined
the
Revolutionary forces when he was 15. His pension record shows he joined on
1 Apr 1780 as a private & served 21 months. He was later called Major &
may
have been an officer in the state militia.

[NI01446] The Jennings family came from England, but just when it came no
chronicler has
ever been able to determine. We can however, authentically go back to
Israel
Jennings, who was born about 1774. Originally New England colonists, his
ancestors had braved the frontier, and Israel spent his youth in Mason
Co.,
Kentucky. Married at age 25, the couple moved to Illinois and raised a
family
of 8 children at Walnut Hill. *"The Life of William Jennings Bryan."

[NI01535] Concering Rebecca Richmond, wife of Peter IV. I had a middle name of Thurston. This is incorrect. This information has been circulating around for years and it was speculated whether Thurston was her maiden name and Richmond was her name by a first marriage. There was a Rebecca Thurston who married a Richmond but she was not the one who married Peter Worden. Rebecca Richmond Worden is named in her father's will as "my daughter." She is a Richmond by birth. Many have tried to dispel this early bad genealogy.

2 daughters burn in the flames. Many years later Dorothy & her native son
return... See notes on daughter, Dorothy for more...

"Matthew was a man of powerful physique and the champion wrestler of
Athens
Co., Ohio. It is said that on one occassion a man who considered himself
the
champion of Kentucky, walked all the way from his home to Athens in
search of
Matt Dorr, hoping to defeat him in a fight. However, Matt turned the
tables &
the defeated Kentucky champ returned home a sadder, wiser man."
~~~~~~~
Cheryl Wright did extensive work in the process of getting the Dorr
family entered into "First Families of Athens County." Although 3 Dorrs
appear on the plaque of the Athens County Courthouse as founders, and
it's well known they were in the party that first arrived and settled
Athens, it had to be proven on paper. She's also been successful in
entering our family into Athens County's Civil War Families. If you are
ever wanting additional information about any of Athens County's settlers
you can contact the Athens County Historical Society and Museum. They're
very active in getting all this information preserved. They also have
many indices of old court records and some cemetery gravestone listings,
and are always working to get more in print.

[NI02482] In Loving Memory of Marian T. Busse

[NI02482] Marian was born in a farmhouse outside of Holloway, MN, in the same house where her father had been born. Her father delivered her, and evidently named her Dorothy, then renamed her later, a fact that was not made known to her until applying for her birth certificate after she was married. She was the eldest daughter and the 4th child of 12 born to Walter and Alida Rohloff.

[NI02482] Marian was received into the kingdom of God through Holy Baptism on May 15, 1921. On Apr. 10, 1938, she publicly professed her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and was confirmed in her family's church, Trinity Lutheran Church in Holloway, MN.

[NI02482] Marian's large family saw very hard times. As one of the older children, she helped in the fields, did the milking, and took care of the younger children. She married Reuben Busse on Nov. 28, 1940, when she was 19 years old. They lived on a farm for a time. After a hailstorm took their crops, they moved to Minneapolis. There Reuben worked at an auto body shop and Marian worked in a defense plant.

[NI02482] In 1942 Reuben joined the Navy. He was stationed in Minnesota and Florida before being sent to the Santa Rosa Naval Air Station. Reuben, Marian, and their 2 year old, Jerome, moved here in 1945. They stayed after Reuben's discharge from the service to make California their home.

[NI02482] Along with her husband, Marian was a charter member of Mount Olive Lutheran Church. Her son, Jerome, was a member of the first Sunday School class and one of the first to be confirmed at Mt. Olive. Marian was actively involved in Mt. Olive's Women's Missionary League and a past president and treasurer.

[NI02482] Marian was widowed in 1993, after 52 years of marriage. She remained actively involved in her church and community until her recent illness. She was a dedicated member and supporter of the Sebastopol Senior Center.

[NI02482] Marian was with her son and his wife, at her home in Sebastopol where she had lived for most of her 58 years in California, when she peacefully passed into the arms of our Lord, on Wed., Apr. 16, 2003, one day after she turned 82.

[NI02482] Marian leaves behind her son and daughter-in-law, Jerome and Priscilla Busse of Calistoga; her granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and great granddaughter, Kara, Fred, and Kariann Sanderson of Sebastopol; 2 step-grandchildren, Don and Joy Ross; and 2 step-great grandchildren, Christina and Benjamin Ross.
