Message Board Post:
I hope someone out there can help me. I'm trying to find information about an Edmond Bohanan listed on the 1830 Hardeman Co. census. He was living next to a William Bohanan and neighbors included Andrew Cooksey (sp?), Jason Cloud, Patience Jones and Jesse Green. I'm wondering if this is the same Edmond Bohanan who turned up in 1840 in Humphreys Co.. The ages match up, but I'm not really sure. Also, I'm wondering what happened to William Bohanan. Could he be the William Buchanan later found in Fayette, Alabama? If anyone knows these folks & their migration patterns, please let me know. Thank you.

Subject: Re: [PA-WELSH-EARLY] James family
Susan,
I have a James line which married into a Cloud line.
The oldest one is Susan James of Calne, Wiltshire, England, b. March 28,
1623. She married William Cloud, also b. 1623 in Calne, Wiltshire. They
emigrated to Pennsylvania, but I have done no research on them.
My direct line of descent is from Joseph D. James, (who is very probably no
relation to Susan James, above), b. 1807 in Ohio, married in Maryland, died
in Nebraska.
From Nebraska the ensuing lines went to Missouri, then Colorado, then
California.
Most of the little bit of James research I have done focuses on the female
descendants, including my great grandmother Margaret Almira James, b. 1881
in Nodaway Co, Missouri, granddaughter of the Joseph D. James mentioned
above.
I also have a Thomas James who married a Mary Goodwin, b. about 1694,
married in 1712. I have no other info on this James, do not know if they
had any children. I believe at least some of the Goodwins came from Wales
and settled around Goshen, so possibly Thomas James was also from Wales.
I offer this info, sketchy as it is, in case you have any connections that
might mesh. I realize that DNA projects rely on the male Y chromosome, so I
am not much help.

Subject: Re: [KYWOLFE-L] cherokee
I've done quite a bit of research for my Cherokee ancestors, too. Let me
tell you, it's VERY difficult if your ancestor was born & died before the US government started keeping a record of them (late 1800's). There are several places where the Cherokee were listed. You can go to the website
http://www.rootsweb.com/~cherokee/index.html and find a lot of information there.
The various enrollment rolls, like the Guion-Miller Roll, and the Dawes Roll are a good place to research, plus the book Cherokee By Blood lists names of proven Cherokee. You can look up names on these rolls in the searchable online database found in the National Archives and Records Administration website at
http://www.archives.gov/research_room/arc/index.html.
Just remember, there was a time when being Native American was not cool.
They didn't want to be known as Native Americans. Some states even allowed them to be called White for the census if they married a white person. Some census takers also listed them as Mulatto, even when they were pure Native American.
As for Wolfe County Cherokee, if you have a connection to Mary Ross, who
married Valentine (Volentine) Brown, you have Cherokee blood. Mary Ross was a sister of Cherokee Chief John Ross. They were 1/8th Cherokee. Chester Rose, a native Wolfe Countian, has been accepted into the The Cherokee Nation, Tahlequah OK based on his descendancy to Mary Ross via her son James N. Brown (1811-1923) who married Mary J. Rose (1837-1920). LOTS of their descendants lived in Wolfe County. I have a Jean Spencer who married Vernon Rose in my database. Vernon Rose was a descendant of Mary Ross.
Also, if you have a connection to Elizabeth Cloud (1812-1880) who married
Newton Jett (1809-1874), you have Cherokee blood. The Jett family documented Elizabeth was pure blood Cherokee. I found where her son, Hercanus Jett, was listed in Cherokee by Blood, but his last name was misspelled. It was listed as Jeter.
Many Bolling/Bowling descendants can trace their heritage back to Pocahontas.
This would include some Eversoles and Gays.
Happy Hunting!

Subject: Ridens/Box family
Hello! My gg-grandmother, Flora A. Ridens, was born in Hart, Wright County, MO to Jefferson K. Ridens and Susanah/Susie Wills in 1871. She also had a older sister, Dora, born in 1870. Sometime between the 1880 and 1900 censuses, she married a Mr. Box (first name unknown) and had Fannie in 1892, Guy in 1894, and Opal in 1897. Guy's WWI draft registration card lists his birthplace as Hartville, MO. By 1902, Mr. Box died and Flora married Jefferson Cloud from Springfield, MO. They moved to Tulsa, OK with his Cloud kids (Harriet, Elmer, Della), her Box kids, and had more Cloud kids - Jessie (my g-grandmother) in 1905, Donald in 1907, Doan in 1909, and Nick in 1913. This is all shown in the 1910 census. Her name is shown as Della and her name on her death certificate from 1929 is Della Flora Cloud with her parents, Jeff and Susan Ridens, listed below.
I am trying to locate Flora in the 1900 census. I've tried looking in MO under Box, any form of Box (or Cox or Fox), and have also searched using first names only for Flora and her kids. Her parents moved to the Cherokee nation area in Indian Territory prior to the 1900 census, but I cannot locate Flora's family there either. I'm also trying to find a marriage date for Flora and Mr. Box. The marriage index on the Wright County RootsWeb site came up empty.
Does any of this tie to anyone's tree? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Monica

HOOK BOY LOSES LIFE IN CREEK
9 Year Old Marshall Eyre Drowns In Leap From Home-made Raft
While playing on a home-made raft on Hook Creek, in company with three others, nine-year-old Marshall EYRE, son of Mrs and Mrs Weston EYRE, of 26 Cedar Street, Model Village, was drowned early Saturday afternoon. His body was later recovered by firemen but after attempts made at resuscitation failed, the child was pronounced dead by Dr Henry Noskow of this borough.
Marshall, along with Robert C..l(?), Floyd Allen and William Yost, all of Walnut Street, had been poling the raft up the creek and reaching a point under the Pennsylvania railroad tracks where the streams come through a viaduct, the feeble craft began to sink. Excited, the youngster jumped and immediately sank out of reach of his playmates' arms. Frightened, the three cried out, their calls being heard by members of the Viscose Fire Company, whose headquarters are nearby. Several members of this company ran toward the mouth of the creek at the Delaware River, and procuring a rowboat made way to where the boy had gone overboard. Raymond Walsh was the fireman who finally recovered the child's body.
Dr Noskow called on the scene by patrolman Ira Frieze(?), of the Marcus Hook Police, who himself had been informed of the accident too late to save the boy, summoned the rescue squad of the Franklin Fire Company of Chester. After working for more than an hour over the inert form, the physician directed the squad members to collect their equipment, saying that life was extinct. The body was taken to the morgue of R P Cloud, deputy coroner, who stated that a post-mortem would be conducted.
The parents were notified and hastened to Cloud's establishment where they identified the child.
The funeral services will be held from the Eyre residence tomorrow
afternoon. Interment will be at Lawn Croft Cemetery.
*Quality of the Obit at the DelCo Historical Soc was only of fair quality
so unable to make out the boy's name and not sure of the policeman's name.

Subject: RICH GRUBB BEESON HOLMES
This pertains to recent mailings to Quaker-Roots from Jim Peacock, Dan Treadway, Gregory McReynolds, and Leslie Hope. ---- I am a descendant of Edward Beeson through one of his older sons, Richard Beeson who married Charity Grubb, daughter of John Grubb and Frances ______. Charity Beeson, daughter of Richard Beeson and Charity Grubb, married Mordecai Mendenhall. Richard Mendenhall, son of Mordecai Mendenhall and Charity Beeson, married Jane Thornbury.
Gilbert Cope determined through correspondence with an English genealogist that Edward Beeson and Rachel Pennington were married in England, perhaps on 7 November 1682, I believe they are said to have been married in Leiscestershire, but I do not have the reference source. ---- There seems to be no proof that Rachel Penningon was closely related to the noted early Quaker, Isaac Pennington. I have noted that there were many members of the Pennington family who were members of Swarthmore Monthly Meeting. centered in Lancashire, in the late seventeenth century, but I cannot find Rachel's name among them. I do not know that Rachel (Pennington) Beeson appears in any early American Quaker records.
The Edward Beeson family seems to have come to northern Delaware at an early time, perhaps as early as 1684. They settled in Brandywine Hundred. I once located the probable area where they lived, near the old Baltimore Pike northeast of Wilmington. Thirty years ago there was a small shopping mall in the locality. They probably had some connection with the Newark Friends Meeting which dates from as early as 1682, located near the present Friends burial ground in the vicinity of the Wilmington suburb of Carrcroft.
According to the will of Edward Beeson, there were four surviving children from his first family: Edward, Richard, William, and Ann. The son Edward (Jr.) married Esther Hall under the care of Newark Monthly Meeting, ca. 1704 and took over his father's holdings in Brandywine Hundred. Richard Beeson, probably the second son, was born in Tenth Month 1684 and married Charity Grubb on the 4th of Tenth Month 1706, William, probably the third son, seems to have returned to England. Ann Beeson, daughter of Edward Beeson, Sr. married John Cloud, son of William Cloud.
About 1703 Edward Beeson, Sr. arranged for the acquisition of one of the Nottingham Lots which had been laid out under the direction of William Penn and his agent, James Logan, in an attempt to nail down the ownership of an area of contested land on the Pennsylvania-Maryland border. Edward Beeson, Sr. moved to this new location, to a lot in West Nottingham. There is no record of the date of death of his first wife. By about 1810 he seems to have married as his second wife, Elizabeth ______., with whose background I am not acquainted. Edward and Elizabeth had two daughters, Elizabeth Beeson, born ca. 1712, who married John Everett, and Rachel Beeson, born 1712/1713, who married on the 9th of 12th Month 1730/1731 at the East Nottingham Meetinghouse, Richard Brown, son of William Brown and Ann Mercer. Rachel (Beeson) Brown was probably born a few months after the death of her father, Edward Beeson, Sr.
After the death of Edward Beeson, Sr., his widow, Elizabeth, married 2nd, Joseph Rich. They had four children: John, Joseph, Martha, and Peter.
I believe that the work bey David N. Grubb noted in the Quaker-Roots Archives a year or two ago is the most accurate and up-to-date work concerning the ancestry of John Grubb (1652-1708). Earlier work published in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century is filled with errors. It appears that the ancestry of Frances, wife of John Grubb, is not known as of the present. She was not the daughter of a Sir Francis Vane, as was once postulated. Frances (_____) Grubb married 2nd ,Richard Buffington, a chum of John Grubb. Frances (____) (Grubb) Buffington seems to have died in 1712.
Nottingham Meeting seems to date from as early as 1702, when a number of the Brown and related families, moved to the Nottingham Lots from the vicinity of Chichester Friends Meeting in Chichester Twp., now Delaware County, PA. Chichester Meeting and Concord Meeting both belonged to the same Chichester-Concord Monthly Meeting. While there is some mention of Nottingham Friends in the records of New Garden Monthly Meeting after 1718, I fear that there are few Quaker records of Nottingham before this time.

Subject: Harper / COPE & many Cecil CO MD families
Hi List, for the first time in my life I do not know where to start with this
info and I know I will leave al ot of info off I have on these families in
Cecil CO MD.
Harper Family- all this info will be my outline only made from Deeds and
church records for Cecil CO MD and clues for De and PA connections.
I took interest in the name of Thomas Harper because this name is listed with
William COPE in 1697 Chester CO PA court record . I have dozens of notes on
the name of Harper found in PA, MD and VA.
First to England from notes' sent to me about the Oliver Cope family.
Avebury, CO. Wilts , England -date 2 Jan 1681-
Elizabeth COPE widow of John Cope buried 4 Oct 1649 - it seems to be in
relation to the Will of John Cope father of Oliver Cope .
Mr. Francis Saintbarbe- notary public- witnessed the mark of Elizabeth Cope
along with John HARPER and John Traylowe - also have
8/9 Sept 1681 Oliver Cope bond money to Noah CROOKE - Taylor of Avebury, exr.
of will for John Cope - there is a 32 year gap here.
Note: as you can see here it appears that someone has made a guess for the
maiden name of Rebecca Cope wife of Oliver as being Crooke and it appears the
Oliver Cope listed as a Taylor may have learned the trade form Noah Crooke. my
guess is that Rebecca Cope may be a Prew and Gilbert Cope once listed that
Oliver Cope may have had a wife named Mary first which would explain the 19 year
birth gap between William Cope and brother John Cope b) 1691.
In 1697 John Cope was 6 years old and William Cope is at least 21 years old
when he took Thomas Harper ta boy to court to be taught to read & write and to
sevr William Cope for 5 years ( Thomas Harper could be 16 years old in 1697 to
be released when 21 ).
Cecil CO MD - Thomas Harper and wife Elizabeth - this is only my rough draft
on this family and boy this this family have connections to people I have re
cords on in DE and MD.
Thomas & Elizabeth - hints show she may be related to Ephriam Augustine
Herman and this guy is a big time land owner in New Castle CO DE and Cecil CO MD.
Col. Ephriam Augustine Herman , has a wife Isabella to Thomas Harper & wife
Elizabeth of Bohemia Manor 170 acres , Bohemia Mill & Indian Branch , lease
term , Natural life of Thomas & Elizbeth Harper.
29 Mar 1715/16- wit: Abell V. ( Van ) Burkello and Samuel Bouchell. JP was
Mathias VanBebber.
Note: Mathias VanBebber marr./Lic. Hermonica Peterson 17 Nov 1705 dau. of
Adam Peterson of New Castle CO DE at ST.Stephen's church , Cecil CO MD. It
appears that Adam Peterson is related to Paul, Hans and Peter Peterson listed with
Oliver Cope 1696/97 DE tax list.
I believe the VanBurkellos are related to the VanBebbers and the name of
VanBebber is found in Lunenburg CO VA 1748-1752, Pittsylvania CO VA 1767 and found
with the Cope's 1790s Russell CO VA. Note: have alot more on the VanBebbers
in Cecil CO MD and in my notes' copied from the internet it appears that Isacc &
Fronica or Veronica of Cecil CO MD are related to Dielman KOLB a Mennonite a
name found with Jost/Yost Cope 1734 Sulford, Philadelphi CO PA tax list.
Thomas & Elizabeth Harper children-
1) Nicholas b) 5 June 1705 Cecil CO MD - listed ST. Stephens' church He has
a wife Susannah and son Peter Harper b) 27 Jan 1728 -same church record.- this
family is found with the Lawson family - Peter , David and Hugh Lawson is
listed and he is on a deed here showing he lives in Lunenburg CO VA where the
VanBebbers are listed . The name of Hugh Lawson I have listed to you all before
and listed info on him in Rowan CO NC 1760s.

Wit: John HARPER & Charles COATTS. Note: I have not found a connection yet to

MD . This name I have seen posted marr. to Lydia Denny and she is listed dau.
