EDITORIAL

By Annette Dwyer, Bulletin Editor

Dear SGS Members,

We received a letter a couple of weeks ago from t)r. Helen Norton, telling us about some of the responses that she has received on the Fort Nisqually Indexes series we are running in the Bulletin. I would like to share Dr. Nortons letter with you:

"Dear Annette, Just wanted to let you know that I

am now beginning jto get a number of responses to the Fort Nisqually Indexes. They are evidently being passed from person to person or place to place.

I have gotten letters and calls requesting further information and

also letters of thank you, from The H u n t i n g t o n ( L i b r a r y ) , Washington State Library, several Tribes and yesterday, The Hudson's Bay Company Archives. They noted that they get lots of people doing genealogical work on the Pacific Northwest.

The Archivist especially asked that I pass on their thanks to The Seattle Genealogical Society. -Good to know that our work is being used.

Best, Helen."

It's letters like this that make being the editor of the Bulletin an exciting position to hold.

Are you saving your "Unwanted

Treasurers" for our big sale in March at the Miniseminar? Don't forget it's coming sooner than we think.

Be sure to watch the Newsletter for the January membership meeting. Its going to be a different day, time and place.

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a prps* perous year in all your researching.

Sincerely,

GLwi&sb; J ^ ^

Annette Dwyer

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Can the holiday season be here already? It certainly seems that each year it comes sooner and sooner. It still is hard ffr me to accept the many decorations and trees in our stores and opour streets way before Thanksgiving.

The holiday season should be a period wh£n we take time out of our busy lites to express appreciation to those around us.

One very special individual for many; of us is Darlene Hamilton, Genejdogy Librarian at the Seattle Publif: Library.

For tfventy years in Seattle and an-othefxfive years at the Bellingham Public Library, Miss Hamilton has been^t "fountain of information" as she h&s assisted many of us in our research efforts. Many of us owe a deep gratitude to her for the time she hafe spent not only at the Seattle Public Library, but also at the Seattle Genealogical Society.

She has been the SPL Library Liaison member of the SGS Board of

Directors for the past twenty years, and as such as aided in the direction and leadership for the organization. It was only fitting and proper that the Society held a reception honoring Darlene Hamilton on Sunday afternoon, November 25, 1990 at the Seattle Public Library Auditorium. Many old and new friends and researchers turned out for the event. The featured speaker at the 3:00p.m. program was Elizabeth Stroup, Seattle City Librarian and former Director for General Reference at the Library of Congress.

Another highlight of the event was the presentation by SGS Treasurer to Miss Hamilton of an Honorary Life Membership in the Society. An appropriate engraved plaque was presented to her. Those in attendance added letters and cards to a "memory book."

One of the problems facing any genealogy librarian is the limited time available for his or her own personal research. Miss Hamilton is no exception. In light of that, our Board presented to her a gift certifi

cate for a round-trip air trip to Salt Lake Ci ty, Utah, where she can have the luxury of conducting her own genealogical research, away from the constant desk duty, telephones and questions. She was extremely surprised and very appreciative of the Society's gesture of gratitude. How we ever kept that "big secret^ from her, I'll never know.

Those in attendance shared refreshments and "ancestor stories/' and others socialized with old friends. It was quite appropriate that the event was held during the Thanksgiving weekend, because we are thankful th&t Dafclene Hamilton is OUR genealogy librarian.

1 wish for all of you and yours a very blessed holiday season and a new year filled with good health, happiness and an "elusive ancestor" or two.

NAMES FROM EARLY RECORDS OF THE TOWN OF INDEX SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON 1894-1912

This project of the Index Historical Society (P.O. Box 252, Index, WA 98256) commemorated the centennial of settlement of the Index area in 1889 and the Washington State Centennial, 1889-1989.

TRACT BOOK FOR INDEX, WASHINGTON

The Town of Index was platted in 1893. The original t owns i t ewas Owned by Amos D. Gunn and the successors to the Everett Terminal Land and Milling Company. In 1899 town lots were offered for sale and a record of these sales kept in a journal book by Mr. GunA. A number of earlier property sales were noted in this book as well. These earlier sales were in many cases to members of the Gunn family. The book is organized by block and then by lot within that block.

While the majority of the sales are in 1899, the journal records sales between 1894 and 1902. Where a year

is not given it can safely be assumed from context, style of writing and the ink used, to be approximately 1899-1900.

Most of the sales recorded in this journal are contract sales. In many cases the sale was not completed by the original purchaser, either by not making full payment or by assignment. It appears that a deed was not executed'until full payment was made. The unusual value of this record is that all parties are listed, not just those who received deeds. It is therefore a much more complete record of early residents than the record of deeds at the Snohomish

County Courthouse. For this reason there may be multiple "owners^ listed for a single property. Of course, not all landowners were.au-tomatically residents. Some property may have been held for investment or other reasons by persons living outside the town itself.

The journal is in the possession of Mrs. William (Ace) Johnson of Index. Mrs. Johnson is a descendant of early Index families and an active member of the Index Historical Society. She can be reached at (206) 793-1844 if you wish specific data from the journal.

INDEX TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES, 1907-1912

The Town Council minutes from the formation of the town in 1907 to the present are extant. The originals are located at Town Hall and copies can be consulted at the Index Historical Society Museum.

As expected, there is no family data or genealogical information contained in the town records. Nevertheless, these records are a rich source of names of early residents of Index. Besides the names of town officials, there are the names of town property owners, day laborers working on town projects, retail liquor licensees (saloon operators), local school district officials and business owners.

Names of persons who are presumed to be residents in or nearby the town are included in the following list of names. Suspected transients or persons known to be living outside of the immediate area are not listed. Examples of those not listed would be the town health officer who was usually one of the doctors in Sultan or the town engineer who was resident in Everett. Names of those treated by the town health officer at public

expense may have been either jail inmates or cases of infectious disease among the town residents. These medical cases are listed with the notation "medical". In many of these medical cases, only the family name is given.

There are many duplications of names. In any one year, a person may have held a number of official positions. These were noted as separate entries. In other cases, initials were written in one place and the first name in another place in the records. All forms of the names were listed to make certain that no one was missed. Since Town Council positions were for more than one year, a councilman might not have been indexed for all years that he served. Usually the year listed is the year that he assumed office following election or appointment.

The first 95 pages of town minutes covering the period from the formation of the town up to December 1912 were used in preparing this indexed list of names.

FORT NISQUALLY INDEX PART THREE - SETTLERS' ACCOUNTS OF 1841 by Helen H. Norton Ph. D., SGS Member

1879

The Settlers' Accounts used in this index provide a telling example of American success and British failure in fulfilling the great promise of North America - individual land ownership. The Hudson's Bay Company, through their subsidiary, The Puget's Sound Agricultural Company> intended to prove British rights to lands above the Columbia by importing tenant farmers from Britain and the Red River Settlement (now Manitoba). The Company would provide its settlers with land, tools, provisions, stock and seed for one year. After this time of grace half the increase from the tenants' labors was due the Company. The land could not be bought, sold, inherited or bequeathed.

In the summer of 1841 twenty-one families from the Red River arrived at Fort Vancouver. Seven stayed at the Cowlitz Station while the rest, some 77 individuals mainly of English and Indian heritage (Orkney, British, Scottish, Irish, Assiniboin, Cree, Ojibwa), 'settled' the Fort Nisqually lands. Eleven families left for Oregon's Willamette Valley in 1842. In the fall of 1843, three years before the Treaty of Washington, the remaining families abandoned Nisqually.

A tardy postscript to the British plan was the arrival of Joseph Thomas Heath, a farmer from England, who arrived in 1844 to work his tenant acres until his death in 1849.

In 1843 the surge of American migrants to the Oregon Territory began. By 1845 some thirty-four Americans were squaring off timbers on their promised acreage above the Columbia. By 1870 nearly 24,000 Americans made their homes

in Washington Territory.

The Fort Nisqually documents indexed here chronicle the demise of tenancy and the construction of a viable addition to the American dream. They contain records of business transactions between the Fort and early British settlers as well as many of the Americans who lived that dream. Included are the accounts of Canadians John Ross, Isaac Bastien and Francois Gravelle, who took up Nisqually farms after the Red River settlers had gone. There are accounts of many early American pioneers; Michael Simmons/George Bush, Ezra Meeker and Francis Chenowith to mention a few.

Squatters, taking advantage of the 1846 boundary decision are also listed in these accounts, including Charles Wren, John Montgomery, Thomas Chambers, Thomas Glasgow, Samuel Bonney, Jean Babtiste DeChamps and Richard Fiander. There are also accounts for the American military stationed at Fort Steilacoom. A number of officers and enlisted men are named along with some Washington and California Volunteers. Volume 9 includes the accounts of the British Boundary Commission of 1858. Volume 13 has accounts for the Northern Pacific Railway. Accounts with local and distant business firms are included as well as those of ships arriving at Nisqually. Many of the ship captains and some crew members are named. Interspersed in all the accounts are names of persons owed money by settlers (often Indians, sometimes women) and notices of death indicated by accounts for the estates of the deceased.

If ethnicity or national origin are

noted in the accounts I have so indicated by enclosing that information in parens ( ). This includes (RR) Red River; (WV) Washington Volunteer; (CV) California Volunteer; (USA) United States Army; (BBC) British Boundary Commission; (I) Indian; (H) Hawaiian and (C) Colville. (DN) indicates a death notice. Alternative spellings of names or alternative names are offered within slashes / / .

The Fort Nisqually Settlers' Accounts are to be found on three of the Huntington Microfilms (see the Spring 1990 SGS Bulletin for details about the microfilm), Rolls 5,6 and 7. They do not all appear on the film in chronological or numerical order. Some volumes do not have titles and some titles do not adequately indicate the contents. AIL volumes identified with the Huntington Library number FN 1240 have indexes. These indexes may not contain the names of all individuals to be found in that volume. None of the volumes identified with the Huntington Library number FN 1243 have indexes.

The following listing of the Settlers' Accounts used in this index includes the Huntington Library number, volume number and title. The FN 1240 series is indicated in this index by the volume numbers. The FN 1243 series is identified in this index by the addition of 'b' to. the volume number, such as lb, 2b, 3b, 4b.

ERRATA

In "Fort Nisqually Index Part Two" (SGS Bulletin, Autumn 1990, Page 7, column 3), the second and third Huntington Library Numbers cited should read: FN 1241 Vol. 3, and FN 1241, Vol. 4.

DEAREST ONE: HANNAH AND BENJAMIN BUNKER OF SEBEC AND DOVER ME CONCLUSION

Contributed by Kathi J. Abendroth, SGS Member, with permission of her cousin, Delbert R. Bunker of Yakima, WA.

These letters were written by Benjamin Bunker, Jr., to Hannah Judkins, who became his wife in 1849. They are reproduced exactly as written, including lack of punctuation. Part One appeared in the Autumn issue of the SGS Bulletin.

Letter #6 This letter was written to Benj by his wife/Hannah. He was sent to some large town to have his eyes cured. Eye trouble runs in the family. His brother Hesse, mentioned in the letter, died blind in his old age. I have a chronic eye infection that would be very serious, were it not for modern medicines. The sash factory that Hannah mentions belonged to Benj. Over a period of several years, Benji had, according to stories I read, 3 sawmills and one sash factory burn down. Then, in 1884, he said enough and moved to Minnesota and bought a large farm. This letter was written in Otto, Pa. and dated-

Otto August 14 1859 Ever Loved Husband your welcome letter of the 1 Oth came to hand last night and very glad was I, to hear from you once more. I was getting very anxious about you as I had not heard from you in over a week. I did not get your first letter untill three days after I did the second and the one that you beged pardon about I have not got yet. So you see that it did not do any damage now I dont know but I ought to ask pardon for not writeing oftener but I will tell you how it was I had written three to you in one week and I thought that, that was as much as you could see to read for awile. but I am sorry now that I did not write shorter letters and write of tener I will do better after this and will write as often as I have a chance

to send them to the office. Today is Sunday and I am almost done Jesse has gone to Olean he went last night he dreamed the night before that you come home and he said that prehaps he might find you there, but when I got your letter, then I knew he would not find you, I want you to come home, for we miss you sadly, but if you think there is a chance to get your eyes cured by staying there, I want you to be sure to stay, you say you think the Dr will cure them, what does he think ails them and does he think they will stay cured. I have just been out to see the calves, thy look well Frank says he never thought that bears would eat calves, when I told him what you said he had to start right straight to see if they were all-right.

Jesse has got back from Olean, and has brought your new buggy with him, he says it is a neat one I have not seen it yet; for Mattie cut her hand quite bad, and I have been tending her, she cut it in the cutting box it took the ends off of two of her fingers one we think will grow on again and the other is not much of a piece gone the first thing she said after we got them done up was, I wish Father here take me. but she feels first rate now she is in the bed with Inez, singing, and her song is my Father gone to Tarkey my Father gone to Tarkey. he come by by see Mattie. I suppose you are very

lonesome there but you must keep up good courage, the first of September will soon be along, a little more than two weeks and then if Providence permits we shall meet again Jesse says that got about seven or eight hundred thousand logs out in the river but the water failed and they did not get only to Forbes, but since the river has raised enough so they have gone over Millgrove dam of their own accord Nelt Has got his piece fenced in and is now goinjg to haying, John Belknap is at Work 0rt^ the road this side of the Bourtnig house. But there I guess I have writen as much as you ought to read at one time so I will close, the boys want to know what has become of Wm. Prescott they have no t heard one word from him since he left only what you wrote.

Now Benj you just keep up good courage and not go to haveing the blues, but just imageine I am there with you for if I am not in person I am in mind most of the time and I should like to step in there personaly for a few minutes I guess I would drive away dull care for a little while I must now Bid you good night and pleasant dreams.

Your own Wife Hannah Bunker

P.S. O. Jesse says tell you that the sash Factory is burned down, I do not know the particulars.

Hannah O, we are all well

DEAREST ONE: THE BUNKERS (Cont'd)

The daughter Mattie, was Martha Prudence. Forsomereason,mostpeople were called by nicknames. Effie Inez was called Inie or Inez. Mary Louise was Lou or little Lulie. It is sometimes hard for us to figure out for sure who they were talking about. I have studied the family extensively, and if anyone has questions, refer to the letter number at the top of thepage. My address is Delbert R. Bunker, 2603 S, Third Ave., Yakima, WA 98903. P.S. I have no idea where "Tarkey" is or was. v -

Letter # 7 > v—•• This letter was written 4 days after letter #6. She has messed up the date. That is all the preparation needed for the letter dated- or should be dated August 18,1859.

Otto August 18158 My Dear Husband As Jesse is going to Portvill this afternoon I will write just a few lines to tell you we are all well, I received yours of the 8th 3 days after the one of the 10th so there was not much new in it. I will pardon all the fault finding there was there for I know you must be very lonely indeed there all alone, I should go up if it was me for I have just all I can do to live here with all the babies with me. Jesse has gone into the haying strong this week, he has Capt. Baldwin and his boys are here today and Mr. Hoit is going to come this afternoon to cradle the oats it is nice weather for making hay now. I heard just now that Mrs. Blakesly was buried yesterday, Ben you must excuse this little bit but I have not time to write more for Jess is waiting for this I thought that a few lines would be better than nothing Matties fingers are getting along

first rate Horace Twombly is a little better, but is not well yet. I hope your eyes are getting almost well, you must not let the blues get to fast a hold upon you will you for I am as blue as a whetstone, write as often as possible wont you.

From your ever true wife Hannah Bunker

My fertile mind has just decided that maybe I had better explain where all these little towns are. Some do not exist anymore. Otto is one. It was in the area just West ofthepresent townofEldred, Pa. Edlred is in the Northwest part of Pennsylvania. It was known as Allegheny Bridge until 1880. (see letter #3 Quimby) Prentissvale is in Otto township and that is where Benj had his farm and mills. It is 5 or 7 miles West of Eldred and Portville, NY (see above letter) is about 6 miles North of Eldred. New Hudson, NY is no more. It was very near the present town of Belmont, NY; which is a few miles to the Northeast. How's that? Delbert R. Bunker .

Letter #8 'This letter has to have been written when Benj and Hannah lived at Prentissvale (Otto) Pa. In letters 6&7, Benj had gone to be treated by a doctor. Possibly Olean or some larger town. Now, we find that Hannah has gone to be treated. There is no date or other clue as to when or where. Benj speaks of Lou (Mary Louise) and she was borninjune 1872, so the time had to be mid 1874 to no later than the end of 1883. They moved to Minnesota in early 1884. Lou sounds to be 6 to 9 years of age. Whatever. Never heard of Bess.

Dear Wife Here I am this Bright Spring Morning trying to Write a few lines to you it Very lonesome

Here But I should think we might stand it if you could you are off there sick and all alone what do the doctors think of you can they do any thing for you they were going to send you Home in a week I do wish they could Help you if they could only Half cure you it would help some I think you Had Better Have me come to go Home with you are so weak and Poorly Dont come if you think there is any Prospect of them Doing you any good.

Letter #9 In letter #4, we saw that gr. grandma Hannah's youngest daughter Mary Louise (Lou), had died at the age of 18. She and fames Fred Taylor had married onPeb. 12,1890. Hannahhad evidently gone to Pennsylvania to visit relatives and Fred had had a hard time on his first anniversary. He wrote Hannah and poured his heart out. The poor guy never thought that all us clowns would be reading it 95 years later! On with the letter dated—

thought and thought and then went to work and worked all the afternoon at and all evening till 10:00 it is almost midnight now I was setting up Machinery so could work by lamp light cant express my feelings at all it is very different from what we expected and very bad for me as I think I would have been a much better man than I am if Lou had lived but she is dead and I beleave every good impulse in me died with her for every bit of regard for the opinon of woman died and that is a great thing to take out of a mans life especialy a wicked mans you said you would pray for me and Drank it will do no good for me for every time I think of serving God I think why is it that he allowed Lou to die and then I think of what some of them said that it was because he wanted to draw me to him in that way and some more of my particular friends said it wasajudjmenton me for my wickedness now if God want to draw me to him I think it is a very bad way to take the person I thought the most of on earth or ever shall and spoil all my life here as that did and if he wanted revenge as others said I guess he got it dont you? please dont say any thing about my being religeous any more for I cant and Know I am doing just what would hurt Lou. the most of any thing I could do and if any thing on earth would make me religeous that would but my devilish disposition comes up (dont think I am swearing for I am not. I mean all I say with regard to myself) and I could not be religeous and every time I think of such a thing the same old ugly feeling comes up and drives it all off and I am worse than ever you must excuse worse writing than usual for I

am so nervous I cant keep my hand any where and cant talk about Lou. at all so may write a pretty long and disjointed letter but know you will excuse it I know every one thinks I have forgotten Lou entirely because I go out and talk and laugh just the same as ever you Know an I guess you do that is all foreign to my nature and that it was all aquired or put on you can call it what you please so can do it just as well now as I ever could for it dont make much difference how I feel I can act the same I have done well so far in covering all my feelings but once and that was when I went to an old friends funeral a ladys and then I went out of the church into the woods it was at Grove Lake and got a spell and fell over and guess I never would have got over it but I cried about 10 or 11 minutes and that helped me and I went over to the grave yard and no one but John Stalker noticed any thing and he came and asked me if I was sick and I said I was all right and he said he would go home with me and he went and got my horse and I went home with him and he fed me on alchohol and that set my blood going I was all right after that I have been around with men all day today it has been pretty near to much for me that is what makes me so nerveous am a little better now since I have been writing if I had my choice tonight to die or go through the same I have since a year ago tonight I would die for I could not do it Now Mrs. Bunker no matter what you hear that I do dont think it is because I did not care for Lou. for it is not but just because I dont care for myself or any one else you thought I did not care for her once but I did all that was in my nature

to care for any living being so help me God. I guess you changed your mind about that though before now hope you did at any rate I dont care what any one else thinks for I dont consider it their business but it is yours for I took your baby from you and I know just how much you worried about it on the account of my card playing and drinking and the other accomplishments I had but thank God they never bothered her much as it was dont Know how it would have been if she had lived and I tried to do my duty by her as far as was in my power the short time she was with me if I could do it all over again I would do very differently but I cant so there is no use thinking of that it only makes a bad matter worse I think if she were here she would say she was satisfied as I beleave she was for she understood me better than any one else I think and I think she Knew just how hard it was for me to part with her and just how dreary and lonely it would be for me when she was gone fofever as she is for me as you Know I dare not allow myself to think of what might have been for if I did I would go mad I beleave if you will answer this thing I will not write such another for I never will feel as I do now again and I dont lose controle of myself easly so Know I will not bother you with my sorrows again for I Know you have enough of your own with out mine being heaped on to you but could not help it this time for I had to releave my mind and when I got your letter I just started to write a few lines and look at the result I dont believe you can read half of it any way so you wont be bothered so much as you might tell them all to write and I will ans. right off.

write soon yourself your sorrowing boy f red

Poor Fred, even a little whiskey could hnt help his spelling. One other note, Fred's mother was a Judkins, as was grandma Hannah. They keep track of each other, the Bunkers and the Judkins.

Letter #10 This letter was written by Wm.. R. Moultonto Benj Bunker. Moultonand his wife Maria Louise (Mae) Bunker, remained in Sebec Me. (suh-BECK). Wm. had a stroke. They called it a shock. Wm. tells about their son Charlie having gone to Washington Territory. His grave is next to his parents in the Sebec town cemetery. The stone tells that Charlie died in Barkersville, B.C. in 1897. Also the Aunt Leen he mentions was Asenath, Maria's sister. I could write a few pages on the people he talks about, but I will get on with it. The letter was written sometime between early 1885 and April 1890. The letter starts in the middle of page 1. The rest is missing.

. . . .we received a letter from you before and we was glad to have it come after so long waiting. It will be sometime before I finish this letter for it is a task for me to write now. To begin with we are as well as usual. I keep moving but my health is gone so far as doing much work is concerned. I do my barn work and have hauled up my wood but hired it cut. My left hand and arm is very shaky and weak. The doctors say I had a shock. My whole side is sadly out of fix. Nellie is poorly and has been out of health four or five years. She is very fleshy. Maria is in the mill for a few days, Charlie is in Washington Territory. We miss him very much. He has

been gone 9 years come March. Don't think he will ever come here to live. Wife is well and rugged. Father is quite smart for one so old. 83 come May. He lives alone at the old home. He gets all his food here. Carries it to the old house and eats it there. He ain't contented anywhere else but there where he has been every day since he was a Boy. We have done all we can to have him come here with us but he is very set bound to do as he has a mind to. Robert is well and fat but looks old and Grissly. He has kept house since Hannah died. . . (part missing)... a living that is about all. I think he owes money he borrowed of Leen when he went to Michagun. it is not oweing to her. he paid her when she went to Cal the last time, now I will tell you a little about Aunt Leen. After Mr Cary died and she got all settled up she had 900 dollars in Money and her boy George had 600 his father left him. They went to Mich-and was gone through the summer and come back & went to keeping house in Foxcroft Maria & I done all we could and so did her Father to have her buy a home but she would not hear a word to any such thing. Then she started up to go to Cal staid awhile & come back left George there, during this time she had got rid of all her money Except what Bob owed her 130 dollars. After she had been about here awhile she started up again to go back to Cal where George was. and she went back very much against our wishes in this time George had squanderd his 600 away, that fellow is a bed Egg. so when Leen got there she had to go out to work to support herself and that Lousy Boy. it went along in that way untill last fall.

One day Maria got a letter from Ellen Lake demanding to immediately send 250 dollars to them to keep Leen out of the City poorhouse and place her in a Charitable Institution called the old Ladies Home in Oakland as she had no money or friends there that would take care of her as she was helpless and always would be as she had a shock and one side was helpless. Ellen wrote a very sharp letter did not ask if we could assist but demanded us to send 250 dollars, we thought we would wait a little while and hear more about it so we did, in about three weeks we got a letter from Louise Bunker Mrs Goddard with a very diferent tone to it from Ellens, she said Leen was there at her house had been there 6 weeks and they thought it best to have her go to the Old Ladies Home if they could get her in and wanted the friends here to help if they could as she was not able to pay 200 which she said it would take to get her in there, we sent 15 dollars Bob & Win sent 10 Dr. Henry Robinson & his Mother sent 25 dollars. Other friends in Foxcroft 10 Then Lou got 25 out of one of the Robinson Boys her second husbands Boy who was there in Oakland 85 in all that we know of that was paid in and Louise and her Husband Dr. Goddard paid the rest and after a lot of hard work had her placed in the home, she can hoble around on Crutches some from one room to another. That idol of hers 27 years well and smart wouldent give one dollar to help his Mother in her distress. Lou wrote us the other day George had not seen his Mother since July but once, he is a Pirate and always was. Leen has wrote to us 3 times since she went to the home. I think she is as well con-

tented as she would be any where. Bob said she would not be contented any where on Earth, we got a letter Friday from Mary Bunker she said Uncle Wm was there weak & Low. We feel so bad about him. I guess he will have to go this time. We heard some way that he had an Insurance of 3000 on his life, (do you kinow whether it is so or not) if we can believe what we hear he will leave a very helpless family. I dont think Prentissvale would seem Much to me now as it did when I was there 18 years ago what a change there has been there, When I was there it seemed to be a very happy neighborhood. I have wrote to Ev two or 3 times since she was Married. I always get a nice letter from her. I would like to see them Girls & also their Mother. Wife wants to go to Penn to see Wm very much. Money is all there is wanting for her to make the trip, since my health has failed up it takes all our Money to pay hired help. I shall have to make a change someway soon.

From your true Friend Wm R Moulton

On the bottom of page 3, Wm refers to September 1884. Wm died in April 1890 and he gives the date Feb 7th on paged also. This tells me that Grampa Benj lived in Villard, Mn. at the time. (They moved toMinnesotainthespring of 1884) Wm did not refer to Sept 1884 as "last September" so I assume the letter probably was written between Feb 1886 andFeb 1890.

The laJceWfriasks about is on the^Bun-

ker farm near Villard. The people that live there told us that the Minnesota Game Dept call the lake Bunker Lake. Old names die hard. The Bunkers sold out before 1910. I think it was about 1904..

Letter #11 This letter was written to Benj and Hannah when they still lived in Pennsylvania. A lot of the Judkins family had moved on through Wisconsin and then on to Minnesota. Hannah Judkins Bunker had a sister named Ann Aurilia Emiline Judkins. That was her maiden name and also her married name. (She married her cousin, Abner Judkins Jr.) There was alot of'that going on. Hannah and "Em" had a lot of brothers and sisters, so I will draw a diagram at a later date to show the relationships. Stay tuned for the latest. On with the letter dated-

March the 15th 1877 Dear sister and brother it has been some time since we got your letter and ought to have answered it before but have kept putting it off and now I guess I have got some news that will please you. Mother J. Meliss Sol Maria Ed Rene Eben Margaret and Uncle Abner are all praying people now what do you think of that. Ab and I are left, it seems strange but they are in earnest and I hop will hold out they have part of them joined the united brethren and I guess the rest will or most of them. I heard Mother speak in meeting last salurday night and heard Ed pray in his family. Mother has been here with us since last Sept until last week she went over to Eds again. I hope it will be different there now our folks are all well, we were so sorry to hear of your great loss we dont know how to simpathy with you and hop we

never shall but can imagine a little how it must be. We have just received a letter from Charlie Hinds he is about to start for the Black hills is in St Paul now.

It is very hard times here and I am afraid will be harder next year than this, there are men down from Parkers prairie begging for families that have had nothing to eat for weeks but horse meat but there are enough in our own town to take what folks have to share here. I dont know how Sol is going to get any thing for his family I am sure. Ho and Fred are to Osakis. but they dont get hardly enough to clothe themselves. Charlie Birds folks are very bad of to but they have had clothes sent them and some groceries that helped them a little we are a little better of than the rest because Government helps us a little if it wasent for that we should not be. we have had nine in the family all winter the teacher boarded here but the school is done now. Ab told Mother she Could come here any time she wanted to and stay as long as she had a mind to he has been good to her and did all he could for them when Father was sick. Write all about your family when you write Ab would write but he is very busy hailing wood, we have had a splendid winter but ground has been bare for over a month. I have not writen half I wont to but must send it to the office.

Now Ben and Hannah remember to write soon for we want to hear from you. I dont get much time to write so you not expect much I would like to see you all.

Em, Benj and Hannah's great loss was their son Perez who died in Nov. 1876 atthe~ageofl3.

RECOLLECTIONS OF LILLIE ETHEL (SIMPSON) WHEELER

This is a transcription of tape-recordings of the reminiscences of Lillie Wheeler made in 1964 by Claire Wheeler McLaren, her daughter. Submitted by Bill Wheeler, Seattle Genealogical Society member. (Comments in parentheses have been added by the transcriber or the editor for sake of clarity.)

I am Lillie E. Wheeler, daughter of W.G. (William George) and Sarah P. Simpson, who came to Seattle from Marinette, Wisconsin, in 1875. They came to San Francisco by rail, then by sailing ship to Seattle, which took them six weeks. They joined an older brother of my father's (Robert N.B. Simpson) and located out at Auburn or, as at that time it was called, Slaughter, six miles up Green River. They had to pack in by horse's back, or to row in, all their equipment and everything they had to do with.

My father had been trained as a landscape gardener, and he did some work in Seattle for (Henry L.) Yesler in his line, then went out as a chainman on a survey crew that surveyed the Northern Pacific Railway.

My mother was left on this ranch (on Green River) alone, but she had lots of ability to get along. She made friends somewhat with the Indians and they became fast friends as the years rolled by. This place was situated about one and a half miles

from the Muckleshoot Reservation. The Indians had to come through our place to fish and they were always welcome. But in 1876 we had some Indians from east of the (Cascade) mountains who came over and were a little bit troublesome. The government issued a "needle" gun with a hundred rounds of cartridges to each settler over 16 years of age.

The first horse that we acquired was through my mother. A squaw came down (to the house) riding a

RECOLLECTIONS OF LILLIE WHEELER (Cont'd)

very docile-looking horse. Mother had a red tablecloth on the (clothes) line. So mother took the squaw's horse's bridle and led it up to the line, taking the tablecloth in one hand and handing it to the Indian woman. The Indian woman laughed, and mother kept pulling

"the tablecloth and pulling the horse. Finally the idea got across, and the squaw got off her horse, mounting behind another Indian. Mother unpinned the tablecloth from the line, and all were very happy.

We employed these Indians years later to cultivate the hops, which was my father's business on the ranch. They would come and select the vines that wanted to be trained, and trained them up and worked for us back and forth.

My playmates mostly were Indian children. I saw few others because our settlement was so far apart (from other settlers). But in early days a shot, fired in quick succession— three shots, rather—summoned help. One day the Indians came down (to the ranch house). They wanted to know of my mother if she Kom pats poo? That meant, could she shoot? These were not the friendly Indians we had known so long. So my mother in desperation took the gun down and pointed to a knot-hole in a porch support and said, Kloshe nanitch! or "Look carefully!" She fired three shots to call whoever might be passing or a nearby neighbor a half mile or so away. She has said often she was frightened almost beyond endurance. But each shot went through the knothole. By the time the neighbor got there, there wasn't an In

dian in sight. So it became quite a joke in our family.

We children went to school (White River School) across the Green River. My brother (Adolph Simpson), who was 12 years older than I, was quite an expert canoeman at that time. That is my earliest recollection of school.

One of the incidents of early days: My other brother (Guy Simpson) and I used to get on our horses and ride about 3 1/2 miles up to a neighbor's. Then the neighbor boy and we would go from there another 11/2 miles to Sunday School. It was great sport because we conducted a three-horse race both going and coming. I don't know if the Sunday School authorities would have approved, or our parents, but they did not know until after we were grown.

I am wondering if I have ever told you how much I used to fish when I was a child? We had two dogs, Dash and Jack, and when the salmon would run in the spring, going up the river, my brother Guy and I would both go down to the banks, and the dogs would both jump into the water and grab a salmon. If it was too large for the one, the other would go in and help him pull it ashore. Between the dogs and the kids, our ground was well fertilized with fish.

There is another memory that comes back to me. In our meadow where the cattle grazed, there was a big cedar tree that had been burned, and its side burned out had left a big shell. Now this tree was probably 6

(at least) feet in diameter, and it burned out from the inside, which left a shell that created a nice flue for smoke to go up. When we had picnics, we would cook in there and we would never have any smoke to bother us as it would go up, like going up in a flue. If we wanted milk and didn't happen to have it, we would go out, a couple of us, and bunch up the cows. Somebody would get under with a pail and get our milk. It was strictly fresh—I'm not speaking about the sanitary proposition because I know we always strained it, but I think ciairies would object to that kind of sanitation nowadays. ,:, f f

One night my bro ther Guy had been down to the meadow to bring the cows up for milking, and so forth, and when they got, oh, npt too far from the barn, they had a terrible time. The cows scattered and the dogs barked and made a terrible racket. Lookingup, there they found a cougar lying on a limb that branched otit over the road—over the trail, rather—which the cattle usually followed. He was ready to pounce and get his supper.

Where dairy farms are now, it was one vast hop field after another. Our greatest trouble was the rivers. A jam would form forcing branches of the river into the other shore, cutting away great pieces of land, until in later years where he had had 40 acres in hops the river came up to within 25 feet of our house. It was hard sledding for many people, but on the other hand it was a gratifying thing, too, in that when the price of hops was up it was well worthwhile. We imported our hop

pickers from up around the Fraser River (British Columbia). The Indians would come down to Seattle in their 100-man canoes, being met there and their canoes shipped to Auburn where they were stored for the duration of the picking season, usually about 6 weeks. After several years, hops began to deteriorate, and dairying began to take over many of the ranches.

My father was justice of the peace for many years, and some amusing incidents occurred along the way. One was that a young Indian couple came to him to be married. The bride would speak neither English nor Chinook, of which she was capable of doing very fluently. She spoke only in the tribal language and insisted on having it intepreted. In about two weeks she came back again and wanted my father to "unmarry" them. When he assured her it was impossible for him to "unmarry" them, she could speak both the Chinook language and the English very fluently.

This incident always amused my father. One evening we were going into Seattle on the train and I became hungry, so I was taken into the dining car for dinner. When the meal came, I refused to eat it. The dining-car conductor was terribly put out because I didn't eat it, and my parents were very put out. The dining-car conductor carried me back into the coach and questioned me why I couldn't eat. I said, "Oh, that man! His hands were dirty!" The waiter was the first colored person I had seen in my life. Then I had the most-bountiful meal brought into the coach. The conductor said it was the most-bountiful ever served on that route.

A character comes to my mind every once in a while: James Hamilton Lewis. His common name at that time was "Dude" Lewis, because he wore a stiff hat. And he had a "great" habit of spitting on the floor. That incensed my mother very quickly. One day I was peeking through the door to see what was going on. She got his plug hat and set it down right beside him. He was spitting away and he found he was using his own silk hat for a spittoon. But that didn't break the friendship. He continued to come as many years as we lived up there.

The more I think back, the more I appreciate the endurance (of) those early people from town (who) came out here and went into the wilderness and fought the battles and won them.

In 1896 (actually 1893), we left the ranch on Green River and went to Yakima. We were there for several years. We traveled there by horses and wagon. We were a queer-looking procession because we had one dog that was trained to ride the horse. So we would go along and there would be old Jack mounted on a horse. It made no difference if the horse was saddled or not; he mounted when he got tired of walking.

Eventually we found ourselves in Northern Idaho about 17 miles down the Pend Oreille River. My brothers got out timber for a livelihood. Times were hard.

I met my husband (William Ariel Wheeler) there. He was coming from Bonners Ferry, ID, with a family with a herd of cattle, to go into Spokane. Then on his way back in that direction, to work in the timber, he greeted me with, "Oh, say,

you have the same dirty face you had when I left here."

He was a kindly, a very kindly man, always willing to do for others. My brothers had both been sick, and he knew they were trying to haul lumber down from what they called Pike's Peak, from Walla Walla down to the market, and neither of them could drive all day. So my husband took turns around, and he would drive one wagon while one brother rested. Then he would take the second wagon while the other brother rested. These things neither they nor I ever forgot. He. always had his hand out to help someone else.

In 18971 met and married my husband. We lived around Spokane. I was married rather young. My husband being a timber man, he followed the timber. I followed him.

It may be of interest to someone to know how I spent my honeymoon. We got rooms in an apartment house in Spokane. The owner, a Mrs. Orr, had known me all my entire life. We had'nt been there two or there weeks when I went downstairs to find Mrs. Orr still in bed. We sent immediately for the doctor, who pronounced it typhoid fever. For six weeks the only nurse she had was me in the daytime and her husband at night. Her husband had lost his arm and had to do light work throughout the time. Beside this little chore, there were 17 single rooms to make up in this apartment, and I also did that.

On the jolly side of that, there was a theatrical company that came through. They scattered tickets on the streets, just promiscuously, and one of those tickets and a dime

Winter 1990-1991 ^eattite ©etteafotfical Society SBttlletftt Page 79


would admit you to the theater. So Isaw a great many plays throughout the summer and altogether had a very good time.

This may amuse someone. Mrs. Orr bought vegetables, and so did I, from a Chinese man who came to the door. The first time, before I moved in, I was sitting talking to Mrs. Orr when this Chinese man came. He kept looking at my hair (I was very blond) so Mrs. Orr said, "John, dov you think it pretty?" "Naw-w-w," he said, "it looks like ice." After Mrs. Orr became ill, every day he brought the choicest muskmelons for her to eat. Of course, she couldn't eat them with typhoid fever, but her younger son, whom I had known for many years, and I would devour them with great relish. He kept us in muskmelons all fall. This Chinese embarrassed me greatly. If he would see me on the streets in Spokane, he would holler, "Hello, L'al," even if he was across the street. He was unable to say "Lillie", so we had quite a time with that.

Also at the same time, Mrs. Orr had a laundryman. My laundry went right in with hers—our personal laundry—and strange to say, this Chinese objected because there were too many white petticoats, as we hacj. about six between us each week, and he did all this laundry for $ 1. Of course it was a shame to pay him so little, but at that time a dollar was bigger than any $20 you see around these days.

We lived around Spokane and from there we went to Oregon where my husband worked in the woods. He left me in a hotel in La Grande, but I was contrary and wouldn't stay. So I got someone to take me up to

where he was working. He was to be there all winter. This was a place 27 miles up the La Grande River, branching off from there to a creek. He worked there all winter in the woods for some people. There was no place to live, only a little old log cabin that had been long since deserted. This cabin was so open in the upstairs, you might call it—a short flight of stairs led to a loft—it was so open up there we never had to get up and let the cat out. She could go out any time she wanted right through the cracks. All we had taken up there for the winter was an immense cookstove, which had a (water) reservoir. I sat most of the time in a big, old-fashioned rocking chair with a quilt which I huddled around me, with my feet in the oven. I sat there many times when they were thawing out giant powder (dynamite?) in the oven. What would have happened if I had kicked that giant powder? It takes little common sense to realize that I didn't have any at the time.

We moved (1899) into a little place 7 miles up the La Grande River from La Grande, Oregon, where our first child was born—Stella. She is now (1964) 65 years old, and I have never done such a good job in my life at anything as when I brought her into the world. She has been a jewel all the way along. Her sister (Claire), eight years younger, hardly knew she had a sister; she always had two mothers.

We went up into Northern Idaho on the Pend Oreille River, where we took up a squatter's claim. You had to live on it for 14 months and then you bought it for $2.50 an acre. In the meantime, they had a mill come in on the river and my husband worked in this mill. Eventually

(1903), we moved off our squatter's claim down on to the banks of the Pend Oreille. Our son (Guy Robert) was born there, that being about 61 years ago now.

I want to pay tribute to my son's thoughtfulness even in his teen-age years. We always knew about where he was. He would go and send a telegram collect that he was in such-and-such a place. So both his father and I deeply appreciated it and will assure you that the telegram was always accepted and paid for with great glee.

Then eventually we came back to the coast and settled out at Orting, where our youngest daughter (Claire) was born (in 1907). Our youngest daughter was a spitfire, too, like the rest of the entire Wheeler family. One day she came in crying from playing outside, complaining that Leo Loomis, a neighbor boy, had struck her, "Well," I said, "what did you do to Leo?" She said, "I didn't do a thing to him except to hit him in the eye with a rock!"

The eight years between the two girls/Stella—a good old reliable— and Claire, brought Claire many pleasures. For instance, when Stella was workingin theNavy Yard, there would be something exceptionally good, like a play or something in Seattle. So arrangements were made for Claire to come over in time to take the boat directly after Stella was through work and go to Seattle with her and her friends and have a time. We joked many times after (that) if it were for Claire's pleasure or so Stella wouldn't have to bother with a suitcase, because they would always stay all night and come back to work—the working girls would go to work in the morning and Claire

^cattlte <8ctteal00ical Society JBttfletttt Winter 1990-1991


to school.

From Orting I came to Seattle after his (her husband's) mother (Emma P. [Pope] Wheeler) came from the East (Michigan/Illinois) to visit us, so she could be near her church people. My husband by this time was going to Alaska yearly, so one place was equal to another as far as we were concerned. His mother adopted the Morrnan religion. So we came in and lived in a house next door to her brother, out at 4036 Sixth Ave. N.E. in Seattle. It was quite a combination—he (the mother's brother) was a strong spiritualist, Grandma a Morman and I . . .

My husband hadn't seen his mother for many years, until after we were married and lived in Orting, when we were expecting our third child. At that time he was in Alaska and didn't get home until a month after his mother came. She was a little woman and very remarkably bright person. She had graduated from St. Louis University during the Civil War, so I think that tells a tale, as few women went to college, let alone graduated, at that time. She bore eight children. Her husband (Charles R. Wheeler) died and two of the children. The others he left for her to raise and, as the common remark was, "None of them ever went to jail!"

She was very precise, and some of her remarks are still laughable today. She came out one day when I was washing and picked up a pair of my husband's overalls. They were very dirty, I'll admit, and she said, 'Lillie, you wouldn't want to wash these?" And I said, "No, Grandma, because he will never wear them again if I wash them."

She thought that was the most-terrible thing she every heard of. A friend of ours, a neighbor, was there, so she turned to her and said, "Hodgie, don't you wash overalls?" Hodgie said, "Not out here." (Grandma said), "These Western people have a great idea that after an overall is washed its usefulness is done, and when they get so dirty you can't get into them any more, they discard them."

These are some of the things that went along the way. These are happy memories. So happy (she cries.)

My family is all extremely good to me, my children and my grandchildren. I see no difference in my affection toward those whom I bore and those whom they married. They made wonderful choices. As I told someone once, I thought so much of my in-laws because I was so greatf ul to anyone who would marry any of my children that I couldn't help but love them for that reason if not for themselves.

I feel so thankful that our family may not always agree, but we never come to blows, which is something.

I have at the present time, which is 1964, been a widow for 26 years. It has been a long time to travel in single harness after having traveled in double harness.

But enough of this nonsense. I guess I'll quit and rest awhile.

THE YOUNG-MELIN COLLECTION

It's amazing what is tucked away in storerooms—and it is the Seattle Genealogical Society that is the recipient of a long-stored, extensive collection of genealogical materials, some of them dating back 125 years.

The Young-Melin Collection is the result of 42 years of research, from the mid 1930s to the late 1970s, by a mother and daughter, Anita Whiting Jones Young and Geraldine Jones Melin. It has been given to the Society by Mrs. Young's grandchildren, Joan Melin and Joel Melin, the children of Geraldine Melin.

Anita Young was born 23 October 1890 in Shasta County, California, the daughter of Pelham and Florence Whiting and granddaughter of Danforth Whiting. Mrs. Young, who died 4 January 1984, lived the greater part of her life in Shasta County, around Redding and nearby Buckeye, and spent only her last years in Seattle, surviving her daughter by seven and a half years. Her second husband was Homer Young.

Geraldine Jones Melin was born 30 October 1912 in Redding, and married J. Bernhard Melin. She died 23 July 1978. After Mrs. Melin's death, the Melin children brought Mrs. Young to Seattle, together with the de

cades of research the two women had amassed.

Mrs. Young had concentrated her research efforts pn the Whiting and McCrea Families, while her daughter researched primarily the Jones and Brown Families. Together they visited the major genealogical research libraries in the country, and they wrote hundreds, if not thousands, of letters toward their goals.

The collection contains a number of Federal Census microfilms, extensive and well-organized family group sheets and information, rare reference works, old newspapers and a selection of original printed voters lists and similar materials from Shasta County and nearby areas from the 1860s and later. Many of the books have been placed in the rare-book collection; the fragile materials will be duplicated for every-day handling. The microfilm—scattered rolls from various states—is available, as is the family information.

The families which Mrs. Young and Mrs. Melin were researching seem to cover territory beginning in Massachusetts, Virginia, Vermont and Kentucky, then through Iowa and Indiana, and finally to Washington, Oregon and California.

Following are the major surnames found thus far by Shirley Somerville, SGS archivist, in the Young-Melin materials, together with states and dates when known:

Allen (IA, NY) Bennett Billings Birch/Burch/Burtch Brincard/Brincart (CA) Brown/Browne Campbell Cass Chamberlain Cheney (MA, CT) Coolidge Crockers Crumb

GENEALOGICAL PUBLISHING COMPANY BOOK REVIEWS

ENGLISH DUPLICATES OF LOST VIRGINIA RECORDS, compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958 (reprint 1990) by GPC, 380 pgs, 6x9", hard cover small print. Includes contents & index. Order from publisher; $25. Reviewed by Wendy James. (SGS #VA/0-57, GPC #1430).

This fascinating compilation of a variety of early Colonial Virginia records was taken from material found in the Public Record Office in London during the compiler's work there in 1957. Of particular interest is information obtained from reports sent from Virginia to the Colonial Office in London. Included are lists of colonial officials, military officers, petitions, lists of ships arriving and leaving Virginia ports, land patents for 1699-1737, and rent rolls of 1704, and others. Because so many early Virginia records never survived war or fire, this is indeed a valuable reference and its 1990 reprint is especially welcome. Because it covers so many difference historical documents, it provides the researcher with an overall look at early Virginia history and genealogy.

MARRIAGES OF LOUDON COUNTY, VIRGINIA, compiled by Mary Alice Wertz. ©1985/1990 by GPC. 231 pgs, 6 x 9", hard cover; includes index of brides and all males; arranged alpha by groom surname. Order from publisher $22.50. Reviewed by W.J. (SGS#VA/ 53-4; GPC #6260).

This listing of 12,000 persons married in Loudon County from date of creation from Fairfax County in 1757 until the introduction of marriage licenses in 1853 covers an area covers an area strategic in the major migration from the north into the Shenandoah Valley. Also included is info about the date of marriage bond and ceremony, place of residence, age and names of parents/guardians, bondsmen, sureties & witnesses. Compilation was from marriage bonds, ministers' returns, marriage and parish registers, as well as court-order, fee, deed and minute books and even Quaker meeting records.

I-Spotsylvania County 1721-1800 (subtitled: Being Transcriptions, from the Original Files at the County Court Hpiise, of Wills, Deeds, Administrators' and Guardians' Bonds, Marriage Licenses and Lists of Revolutionary Pensioners) by William A.

(SGS #VA/85-l, GPC #1235).

This first-in-a-series volume contains these major Spotsylvania records and will undoubtedly save the researcher untold hours of courthouse records searching. The 40-page index appears to have been added to this reprint as it is not listed in the Table of Contents, so this will greatly facilitate researching this book. Keep in mind that many Eastern Shore Virginians and Marylanders passed through Spotsylvania County, so be sure and check these records for those of your ancestors. How soon will GPC publish other county records in this series?

HISTORY OF PATRICK AND HENRY COUNTIES VIRGINIA, by Virginia and Lewis Pfedigo: -© 1933;^ (reprint 1977 & 1990) by GPC. 400 pgs, 6x9", hard cover; includes illustrations; index used as Table of Contents; no comprehensive index* Order from publisher, $35. Reviewed by WJ. (SGS #VA/68-l; GPC #4555).

In addition to a brief history of Patrick and Henry Counties (named for Patrick Henry, naturally, who lived there for a time and was the owner of plantations totaling nearly 20,000 acres), brief genealogies of dozens of prominent families in the two counties are includjed, beginning with the first settler in either Patrick or Henry County and providing info on several succeeding generations. Also included are transcriptions of important genealogical material such as land grants and patents registered in the old Land Office in Richmond. Until now, there was little written about the history of these two counties, and material here was obtained largely from two prior history books that are now rare and long out of print.

EARLY RECORDS: HAMPSHIRE COUNTY VIRGINIA (NOW WEST VIRGINIA) (subtitled: Including at the start most of known Virginia aside from Augusta District, Synopsis of Wills from originals up to 1860; Grantee with acreage, location wife's name and witness; Grantor Deeds up to 1800; Marriage records 1824-1828; Alphabetical Arrangement of State Census 1782 and 1784; Revolutionary Soldiers Pensions residing in the County 1835) by Clara Sage and Laura Jones. ©1939 (reprint 1990) by GPC. 170 pgs, 7x10", small print; includes contents, index; arranged alpha surname for each record. Order from publisher, $25. Reviewed by W.J. (SGS #WV/15-1; GPC #5090).

This book contains the compiled earliest records of West Virginia, taken from an area which was the first county wholly in the newly-formed West Virginia from Virginia. A drawback is the extremely small printing and some unclear printing, even though a larger book size than the usual 6x9" was used. The index contains 11,000 entries with the bonus of women listed under both maiden and married name, where known.

HISTORY OF PERQUIMANS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA by Mrs. Watson Winslow. ©1931 (reprint 1990) by GPC. 488 pgs, 6x9", hard cover, small print; includes contents, index, illustrations; arranged by record and alpha by family. Order from publisher, $35. Reviewed by W j . (SGS #NC/72-2, GPC #6455).

This is a great overall history of the county with the majority of records being transcripts of the deed books. The Contents lists dozens of families, some with photos, and also included are petitions, divisions of estates, marriages, rent tolls and original wills in addition to lists of court clerks, sheriffs and representatives. Keep in mind that this North Carolina county had very close ties to the southeastern Virginia counties of Norfolk, Princess Anne, Nansemond and Isle of Wight, so be sure and check this book for that info as well. A bonus is a fold-out map of the Colonial county with land-grant names and one of the present-day (1923) county. Lots of Quakers settled there and in adjoining Virginia counties, so if you have Quaker ancestry in this area, you must check this source.

A HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (Containing Sketches of Prominent Families and Distinguished Men, with an Appendix) by Rev. Jethro Rumple. ©1881 (reprint 1990) by GPC. 434 pgs, 6x9", hard cover, new index. Order from publisher, $30. Reviewed by W.J. (SGS #NC/80-2, GPC #5035).

Without a Table of Contents, this book is a bit hard to wade through. It contains a voluminous amount of county and regional history, but is the Appendix containing the Civil War "Roll of Honor," starting on page 341, that may be the most valuable to genealogists. The historical text is also full of noteworthy people instrumental in the county's early life, and the Index covers all of them as well as references to places and events. The author was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Salisbury, the county seat, from 1860 to 1904, and so came in contact with a wide range of pioneer descendants and war veterans for first-hand accounts to include in his book.

THE COMPLETE BOOK OF EMIGRANTS, 1661-1699 (Subtitled: A Comprehensive Listing Compiled from English Public Records of Those Who Took Ship to the Americas for Political, Religious and Economic Reasons; of Those Who Were Deported for Vagrancy, Roguery or Non-conformity; and of those Who Were Sold to Labour in the New Colonies) by Peter Wilson Coldham. ©1990, GPC. 900 pgs, 6x9", hard coyer; excellent print; includes 180-page bolded surname index; arranged by date of record. Order from publisher, $49.95. Reviewed by WJ. (SGS #US/ 71-19, Vol II; GPC #1102).

Mr. Coldham has provided the genealogist with a continuation (see prior Bulletin review of Volume I, covering 1607-1660) of his invaluable collection of emigrant records, and the voluminous index contains all names in those records. Entries include name, age, occupation, residence, ship and destination. This can't-do-without set of books will keep the researcher of early Colonial settlers busy for a long time. (Are there any additional volumes planned?)

"This is the best book on Irish family history available" says the publisher, and this appears to be the case to this reviewer, or, at least the most thorough one. The Contents lists: Setting the Scene, The Leaving of Ireland, Making a Start with Research, The Ancestor Abroad—The British Mainland /The New World/ Ireland, Interpreting the Records, Visiting Ireland, and a conclusion titled 'The Future of Irish Family History Research." I'll bet you never knew there were all of the aspects to Irish research! The author sets out in the Preface that the research of Irish records is a great disadvantage due to "the disasters that have befallen Irish records," but is with her exhaustive research that what the genealogist with this book in hand can make sense and order of what records to exist. Thank you very much, Marilyn Yurdan! What a great help!

THE JOY OF EFFORT: A BIOGRAPHY OF R. TAIT McKENZIE by Jean McGill. ©1980 by the author, 501-190 Colin Ave., Toronto, Canada, M5P-2C6; Published by Clay Publishing Co., Ontario, Canada. 241 pgs, 6x9", softcover, excellent print; includes contents, index. Order from author, $20. Reviewed by Wendy James. (SGS#MK/1).

This book is mainly a narrative of the title character, R. Tait McKenzie, who was born in 1867 in Ontario, Canada and died in 1938 in Philadelphia, PA. There is really very little of genealogical interest if you are not researching McKenzie family members, but the book makes good reading and contains bibliography and photographs.

The New England families of Andrews and Titus who

are chronicled in this book have their roots in England and settled mostly in Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The book contains narrative accounts of many descendants of the areas' pioneer families which give an interesting account of the overall history of the area.

Order from author, $37 which includes both supplements and postage. Reviewed by WJ. (SGS #KOD/l).

Unfortunately, this book has several drawbacks: there is no title on the book spine, just a label applied to the front cover; the printed pages are photocopies with some "bleed through" from the reverse side; lastly, there is no every-name index. Despite this, the author appears to have been very diligent in his research, relying on primarily church records. Whereas the bound book covers the years 1751 to 1985, he has added two supplements for updated research, one dated 1550 to 1751 covering the years in Gaufelden-

A FITCH FAMILY HISTORY: ENGLISH ANCESTORS OF THE FITCHES OF COLONIAL CONNECTICUT by John Titus Fitch. ©1990, Picton Press, P.O. Box 1111, Camden, ME 04843. 288 pgs, 6x9", hard cover; includes contents, index, illustrations. Order from publisher, $40 for book #75. Reviewed by W. J. (SGS#FIT-1).

This book focuses on the ancestors and descendants of four Fitch brothers, John, Thomas, Joseph and Samuel, from Essex County, England, who came to America in the first half of the 17th Century and settled in Connecticut. Included are many photographs, maps and pedigree charts to sort out all the family members. Following a lengthy introduction describing previous Fitch researchers and their past publications, each chapter deals with male descendants of the earliest-known William Fiche of Wicken Bonhunt, Essex County, c. 1400, to the children of the couple Thomas and Ann (Reve) Fitch, who emigrated to American c. early 1600s. The Picton Press provides Fitch researchers with another useful family history book of the highest quality in workmanship and materials, which is their standard, including excellent print quality, acid-free heavy paper, Smyth sewn bindings, and quality case-bound hard covers.

WARRENS AND RELATED FAMILIES OF NORTH CAOLINA AND VIRGINIA by Holland D. Warren, Ph.d. ©1990 by the author, 207 Nottingham Circle, Lynchburg, VA 24502. 442 pgs, 7x10", hard cover, large clear print; includes contents, references and index. Order from author, $48.50. Reviewed by WJ. (SGS #WAR/6).

The Introduction describes the North Carolina settlers of the couple Samuel and Catherine (Stone) Warren, who are first shown in Wilkes Co., NC, in the 1810 Census and who are documented in a family Bible. The Warrens trace their beginnings in American to Old Rappahannock Co., VA, where John Warren (c. 1635-1691) settled, but family researchers have not been able to make a positive link to their English ancestry. There is an every-name and every-place index and a References section (footnotes) for each chapter. A very readable book with many family-member sketches giving life to the facts and figures.

THEGOLDCHAIN: A CALIFORNIA FAMILY SAGA by Regina V. Phelan. © 1987 by the author, 1002 West Road, La Habra, CA 90631, published by Arthur Clark Co., P.O. Box 230, Glendale, CA 91209. 432 pgs, 6x9", hard cover; excellent print. Order from author or publisher, $29.95. Reviewed by WJ. (SGS #LEE/3).

This book is a historical fact-based novel written by a descendant of the Lee, Weinshank and Phelan families, who did extensive research of family and state records as well as personal accounts and diaries about events of 1850s California to the present time. "The Gold Chain" referred to in the title was made from melted-down gold nuggets thrown at the feet of Henry Lee, an Englishman, who brought entertainment to the gold fields with his circus. The Lee, Weinshank and Phelan families who intermarried were bound together, so to speak, by this gold chain, and their lives are chronicled and described in detail, reading like a novel. The genealogical research would have to read the whole book to gain the family info they would be looking for. The back flyleaf lists the three famili es and their children.

CHICAGO CATHOLIC CHURCH RECORDS BEING MICROFILMED Contributed by SGS Member Shirley Whitehead Wiese, from The Polish Genealogical Society Bulletin

While working in the dusty vault of St Stanislaus Kostka Parish (Chicago) putting the sacramental record books in order for the Archdiocesan filming project, Delores Gilbertson, Edward A. Peckwas and Father Glab found an index to the baptism records of the parish from 1869-1907. It was bound with an index to

the marriage records from 1869-1923.

This material is important not only because it predates the Chicago fire, but because these are the recprds of the oldest Polish parish in Chicago. The book was carefully repaired and filmed. A copy and the original are at the parish. The Polish Museum

Library in Chicago has a paper copy. Microfilming of this index has been arranged, along with other original records. These records, as well as all the records of the Archdiocese of Chicago through 1915, will be made available to the public at the Newbury Library when completed.—

"ANCESTORS FROM THE EASTERN HEARTLAND:

PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, MARYLAND & DELAWARE"

At your fingertips in this newest publication of the Seattle Genealogical Society is comprehensive information on 4,000-plus families, one or more of whose members were in the states of the central East Coast before 1880.

Based on contributions from nearly 390 SGS members across the country, this work contains an estimated 16,000 names, many complete with birthplace, birth date, residence, marriage information, children, and death date and place.

"Ancestors From the Eastern Heartland: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware" has been three years in the compiling, to most-accurately and conveniently present this wealth of dat^ in a handy alphabetical form. It should be of great value to many whose families lived in — or passed through — this important area. Entries cover many more states and territories as these family members scattered across a growing nation. Contributors' names and addresses are included.
