************************* 

I am continuing with the Glover's in Niagara Falls. This article was found in an Albany paper which is clear across the state. I assume it was published there because it was the state capitol. There are a couple of omissions that I will address below. Lewis died a widower and childless.

Albany Journal, Wednesday, August 17, 1864 (no page number, front page?)

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK to Milton Glover, residing at Chattanoga, in the state of Tennessee; Melvina F. Parker, and Lowell H. Glover, residing at Cassopolis, in the state of Michigan; Hannah L. Carlisle, Harrison Glover, Jay Glover, Tamesin H. Glover, William Glover, Orville D arlisle[sic], Tamesin O Carlisle, Mary E. Carlisle, and Fanny S. Carlisle, residing at Buchanan, Berrien county, Michigan; Lewis E. Glover, Josephine. Glover, Malona _ Glover, and Wilber W. Glover, residing at White Pigeon, St Joseph county, Michigan, the heirs at law and next of kin to Lewis E. Glover, late of the town of Niagara, in the county of Niagara, deceased:

Whereas, James Vedder and Reuben Glover, executors named in the last will and testament of the said county of Niagara, to have the will of the said Lewis E. Glover, deceased, which relates to both real and personal estate proved and admitted to probate: you and each of you are therefore hereby __ted and required to appear before the said surrogate, at his office at Lockport, in said county on the 17th day of October, 1864 at 10 o'clock in the forenoon of that day, to attend the proof and probate of said will.

In testimony whereof, we have caused the seal of the surrogates court, of said county of Niagara, to be hereunto affixed. Witness Henry D. ___ipture, surrogate of our said county, at the office of said surrogate: the 11th day of August, A. D. 1864. GEO. W. PER__GO
Clerk of Surrogate Court

Executor, Reuben Glover was his brother and lived in Niagara Falls.

Milton Glover was his brother and was in Tennessee due to his service in the Civil War.

Melvina F Glover Baily Parker was his sister.

Hannah Lewis Glover Carlisle was his sister.

Harrison, Lowell H., Jay O., Tamesin H (aka Tamerson), and William H. Glover were the children of his deceased brother, Orville B. Glover, 1804-1852.

Orville D., Tamesin O. (aka Tamerson Z.), Mary E. and Fanny L. Carlisle were children of his deceased sister, Louisa Lambert Glover Carlisle, 1801-1851 (and step children of his sister Hannah L. Carlisle, named above.) [Not included was Louisa's son Isaac Ashley Carlisle. Orville, Ashley and Hannah were all away from home, serving in the Civil War at that time.)]

Lewis E., Josephine, Malona, and Wilber W. Glover were the children of his deceased brother, William H. Glover. 1809-1863.

Survivors not listed were sisters, Eveline Glover Hibbard of Barre, Orleans Co., NY and Rhehamah Glover Smith of Orleans Co, NY. I assume they were not listed as they were more or less local and undoubtedly had been contacted in person.

Faces of my mtDNA

Mitochondrial DNA is passed from a mother to her children. While I have passed my mtDNA on to both my son and daughter only my daughter was able to pass it on. These are some of the women with whom I share mitochondrial DNA.

This is my granddaughter, Sprout (M.A.E.) Isn't her first official school picture adorable? Does the fate of our mtDNA line rest soley with her? I have two other equally adorable granddaughters, however my step-son could not pass on mtDNA to them.

Sprout's beautiful mother is Bean (S.J.E.), my only daughter. Fiercely independent and very smart she received a B.S. degree from Wells College in Bio-Chemistry and swore children were not for her. Currently she is married and a full time mother of two. Sprout has a brother, Twig (H.J.E.), who is cute as a button. I couldn't be more proud of my daughter.

That brings us to me (C.A.G.). An old picture and when I look in the mirror I wonder where the years have gone. I married at 17 and stayed married just long enough to have two beautiful children. I've been married to John (F.J.G.) for 26 years now. Bean gets her smarts from me but somehow I wasn't smart enough to figure out how to pay for college and get my teaching degree. I've held an interesting mix of jobs; retail, insurance auditor, travel agent, and ten wonderful years as a full time mother and community volunteer. These days I drive a school bus where I can occasionally be found teaching without the proper degree.

I have "better" pictures of Mom (P.C.B.) but this is one of my favorites because she is smiling. Mom's laugh is contiguous. I get my smarts from her. Salutatorian of Buchanan High School Class of 1943! She went on to the University of Michigan before joining the Navy. She met my father in the service, settled in Syracuse, NY, held several jobs and gave up any hope of ever having children. I was quite a surprise! I was followed by a brother and a sister and Mom spent several years as a full time mother. After my father left us she returned to work as an insurance auditor and later a mortgage clerk. She retired at the age of 70 but likes her independence and lives alone in the house she has been in for more than 45 years.

Here is a picture of all four of us together. 

Mom also passed her mtDNA on to my sister (E.L.D.). This is the only picture in existance of just the three of us together and therefore one of my favorites. Sis has a lovely step-daughter but no children of her own so the line will not continue through her.

Moving back another generation is my maternal grandmother, Pearl Vivian Camfield Carlisle. She was born 14 July 1886 in South Bend, IN. We all inherited our smarts from her. She attended business school there and worked at the Singer Sewing Machine cabinet factory in South Bend working her way up to become the assistant to the President of the factory. She gave up her professional life when she married and settled into life as a housewife. At the time she married she couldn't cook so back to school she went! She raised three children and stuck out a difficult marriage. Alzheimer's disease claimed her final years.

 

Pearl had another daughter, Vivian Ruth Carlisle LaValle. Aunt Vivian also had two daughters and they are shown below with Pearl. Neither of my cousins had a daughter so our mtDNA line did not continue with them.

Moving ever backward we come to the last female ancestor in this line that I have a photograph of, "Rose" Susan Arazina Graham Camfield. This is the only photo of her that I have ever seen. I have previously written about Rose. Her early years were hard and I believe she received little education. She was the mother of five. She and her husband seperated after the children were all grown and she spent the rest of her life living with one or another of her daughters.

Rose had three daughters, Mabel, Pearl and Ruby. The picture below is the one I cropped and she is standing with youngest daughter Ruby in front of their home in South Bend, IN. Ruby never married or had children. I have no picture of Mabel! Mabel Camfield Marsh did have a daughter, Vera Jane Marsh Edmunds. Vera Jane had a daughter, L.E.S. I found a picture of L.E.S. online but rather than violate the copyright you'll have to click here to see it. I asked Mom if L.E.S. had any daughters and she thinks that there were only sons but she isn't 100% certain.

 

Continuing the line further back I have no pictures. Rose was the daughter of Elizabeth Doughty Graham. Elizabeth was abandoned by her husband and left to try and raise five children on her own. The children were sent to live with other families so that she could work, work and work some more. Elizabeth died when she was only 53. Three of the five children were girls. Besides Rose there was Xenia Belle Graham Gallup,who had no children, and Sarah Jane Graham who never married or had any children that we know of.

Elizabeth's mother was Susanna Smith. Susanna was born about 1799 in Virginia. I know of only two children but there may have been others. Besides Elizabeth there was one other daughter, Margaret Sarah Doughty Horner. I have transcribed Margaret's divorce petition in which she mentions children however it does not state how many or of what sex they were. I know there was at least one daughter, Susannah Horner who was born in 1849 in Delaware County, Indiana. At this point I have not researched this line further so perhaps there are others out there with whom I share the same line of mtDNA.

This was written for the 21st edition of Smile for the Carmera: Give Their Face A Place, to be hosted by fM at Shades of the Departed.

My inspiration to use the faces of my mtDNA came from Dr. Blaine Bettinger at The Genetic Genealogist and his post: Visualizing Your Genetic Genealogy.

Correction to Annie Smith letter

Sometimes I rush when I shouldn't and mistakes are made. On January 14, 2010 I published a letter from Annie Smith, Dec 14, 1909. I knew the letter was from Julia Auria Warner Smith but without stopping to really think about it, I "saw" Annie (and it certainly didn't look like Auria) so that is how I attributed the letter. In my notes for the letter I referred to her as Aurie. Sometimes I am thick and you have to bop me on the head!

I have been trading emails with G.M., a Warner descendant, and he said that he had never heard her called anything other than Aunt Aurie. I went back and enlarged the section of the letter with the signature. Once I had enlarged it enough, it clearly says Aurie.

Normally I would simply make a correction to the original post, with a notation that it had been corrected. In this case the title of the post had the error and being unable to change the link, I instead have deleted the original and created a new, corrected post, along with this explanation.

Sarah Ann Camfield, May 18, 1906

I love the letters that mention the garden. I've never tried dandelion greens and don't believe I will but Sarah Ann seemed pleased to have them.

I believe Rolinson should be Robinson and refers to Toley's brother Abner and his family. Sarah Ann's spelling and writing have deteriorated a bit.

Sarah Ann Camfield, Oct 12, 1903

Buchanan October 12th 1903

Dear Children this is Monday morning and I thought I would begin my task of writing letters by writing to you for I thought you would be most interested in it I received 15 letters Fraiday and one saturday I got one from Jud Sweeting did you write to him he said he received a letter frome me the day before I thought it must have been from you and he thought it was fro me I never wrote to him I supposed they were out west I did not know they were in Bronson

[no signature]

What a nice birthday surprise for Sarah Ann! Most of the letters I have of hers were written to her daughter Anna. I don't know how this letter written to her son in South Bend, IN came to be saved.

Warner, Smith and Harris were related to Libbie Warner Camfield (Fred's wife).

Sweeting, Plant, Bloat, Spero, Burk and Minlin were neighbors of Sarah Ann when she lived in Branch County, MI.

Mary Bogardus was the wife of Henry, see link below.

Elizabeth Belden and Ella McKinnon were Sarah Ann's nieces and letters they wrote to Anna can be found with the Hall Family letters link below.

Libbie and Earl writing from Kansas was a big surprise for me. I knew that Fred and Libby left Chicago for a time and that at some point they lived in the Ozarks but I didn't know that they tried Kansas first.

William Mullis vs. Elizabeth Doughty 1842

Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.

Amanuensis Monday, hosted by John Newmark at Transylvanian Dutch.


I have been trying to transcribe some records in addition to the letters. This slander suit was found online in the Munice/Delaware County Digital Resource Library. There is nothing in the file that tells what the out come of the lawsuit was. The key point for me is the mention of Ohio. Had Elizabeth lived in Ohio or was she repeating something she was told by her future husband, James Graham? She was represented by a Mr. Buckles and Rachel Graham was married to Thomas N. Buckles.
