She wanted to show the photo to her husband as they prepared for her brothers wedding. (Ellie, you are correct I never wrote about their wedding.) </p><p> Adele Hugus and John B. Armstrong had been students at North High School in Columbus, Ohio in the 1930s. They had met because Adele's best friend was John's sister, Dorothy. Sometime in early 1939, Adele told John she was moving to California. She had been to California to visit cousins and loved the beach and hated the winters of Ohio. She claimed it was the Ohio winters. But maybe she wanted John to make a decision about marriage. In either case, when John finished his Master Degree in Chemistry he hightailed it for California. The were soon planning a wedding.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeGuv1yEqrnb3AHxEe_STjgM7IvCIcssADd3yG-rWwyFAy0_9Or-0o1RfPlZ4a2nsp1IRpg_oecOmi48HjbfFP7ryg_v9W4lpwHKHVzG_yurWH6IlSLGqBUj1LCcI-hJ_DXpENbROcP2nMSazApzXV-lgBfDySPlxrTZ4LVWXEd0YwR0D1smEdNA/s320/1939%20Marriage%20at%20Wee%20Kirk%20of%20the%20Heather%20100_6709.jpeg" style="clear: left;

Norris<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In the most recent posting I discussed the marriage record of James Norris and Eleanor Knype. They were married in Donhead St Mary, Wiltshire, England in 1791. Based upon baptismal records, they continued to live in Donhead St Mary Parish for about sixteen more years. By my count Eleanor gave birth to twelve children between 1791 and 1807. Several died in childhood but there are at least twelve records at Donhead St Mary. Several more children were born in America.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Wiltshire County is in the south-west England and Donhead St Mary is in the south-west portion of Wiltshire. Donhead St Mary is about 30 miles north of Bournemouth and about 50 miles south-east of Bristol.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Since so many family events occurred in this location, I needed to take a virtual trip. Google Maps and a few internet searches found some needed information. The church was started in the twelfth century and is still in use today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Another interesting connection is the name of my 3xGreat-Grandfather John Gilbert Norris. His middle name (or middle initial) does not appear in the index of baptisms but appears on many subsequent documents. The minister at Donhead St Mary around the time of John G Norris was Rev. Gilbert Jackson<sup>3</sup>. John Norris was ordained many years later.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> James Norris and Eleanor Knype Norris are my 4xGreat-grandparents. I first came across them when they were mentioned in a Union County History<sup>1</sup>. On a trip to Harrison County, Ohio, we visited The Harrison County Genealogical Society, which is located in The Historical Society's building in Cadiz, Ohio. These societies had rescued a large number of documents from the dump, among which was the 1820 Naturalization Record for James Norris.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The body of that record reads:</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-left: 45px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <i> James B. Norris aged fifty years Born in the County of Wilshear [sic] , England & Parish of Dunhead [sic], Removed from that to Novoscota [sic] and from thence to New York, arrived at New York within The United States of America from Novo Scota [sic] on the twentieth day of May in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred & seventeen owing allegience to George the third King of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland and intending to settle in the State of Ohio hereby reports himself for the purpose of being admitted to the rights of Citizenship within the United States, and prays that a record may be made of the same</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Last weekend, I was able to track down some new birth and marriage records. (new to me) I haven't really done much research across the Atlantic, primarily because I was busy filling in the holes in the USA portion my existing family tree. Findmypast.com (a British genealogical website) had a free weekend access and so I decided to give it a try. I didn't find any original records but I found transcriptions of a number of vital records. Among them was the Marriage License Bond record for James Norris and Eleanor Knype of Donhead St Mary, Wiltshire, England. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It is sort of nice when records match.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

The Scenic Byway ends in Evanston and is about 30 miles from Fort Bridger. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Prior to becoming a fort this was the site of Jim Bridger's Trading Post. Before 1853, the transcontinental trails (including the Oregon and California Trails) passed by this post. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In 1849, my father-in-law's great-grandfather, James T. Lorton, traveled from Missouri to California along the California and Lassen Trail. So most likely he would have passed by and spent time at Jim Bridger's Trading Post. While at the location of the re-creation of the Trading Post we were able to walk along the path of these trails. </span><br />

And so I am reasonably accustomed to earthquakes. Although I must admit that I have never been in a building with significant damage caused by an earthquake. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The highest magnitude earthquake that I have felt was the 1952 7.3 Magnitude Tehachapi (Kern County). In Taft, where I lived, the Modified Mercalli Intensity was VII on the intensity scale, although it was much greater in Tehachapi.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> One of the largest quakes after Europeans arrived in North America were the 1811-1812 earthquakes in New Madrid, Missouri. From information on the USGS website<sup>2</sup>, people as far away as New York and Washington D.C. were awakened by the quake. The extent of the area that experienced damaging earth motion, which produced Modified Mercalli Intensity greater than or equal to VII, is estimated to be almost 250,000 square miles. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Estimates are that moderate shaking (Intensity V or greater) occurred across one million square miles. Chimneys were toppled and log cabins were thrown down as far distant as Cincinnati and in many places in Kentucky. S</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">o it would be safe to assume that my ancestors who lived in Nelson County, Kentucky would have certainly felt the quake and possibly would have seen buildings that suffered damage.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> When I think of livestock marking, I usually think of branding cattle in the old west.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I wrote about some family brands in the west a short while ago. </span><a href="http://quadraticman.blogspot.com/2015/08/cattle-brands-ancestors.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Cattle Brands</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But I was quite </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">surprised when I found a much earlier record about branding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Although the record that I uncovered was only about three hundred years old, it turns out that branding started much earlier. Almost 5000 years ago in Egypt<sup>1</sup>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Around 1700, as the population of Hampton, New Hampshire increased, the town found it necessary to require registration of ear marks on the residents' sheep<sup>2</sup>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Back in 1960, Sister Theresa Beck started baking fruitcakes, using her family's secret old world recipe. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each year the Sisters made 3000 pounds of batter and produced about 1500 fruitcakes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This was about the time that my older sister, Diane, joined the order. Diane became known as Sister Marie Yvonne*. Over the years, Sister Marie Yvonne, helped with the production of the fruitcakes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Sister Theresa kept that family recipe a secret even though others helped in the production. Sister Theresa was born in 1904 so as the years wore on, her superiors became concerned that if something happened to her no one would know the recipe.</span><br />

For each new ingredient, Sister Marie Yvonne would make sure that she recorded the ingredients and the quantity. She would check this information on subsequent batches. This took a while and other sisters also helped determine the recipe. But eventually the proper ingredients and quantities were determined. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> A few differences between then and now. Back then you took a picture and then waited until you took all the pictures in the roll of film. That might takes a few months. When you finished the roll of film, you took the roll to the local film developer and about a week or two later you would get to see the results of you photo. If the original was out of focus or off center then you were just out of luck. It could be ready for the trash can. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In this case you can see the results. Oh, well. There is other differences. Less hair and it is grey.

John R. Bell is buried in Stevens County, Kansas where the gravestone states that he died in 1889. Mildred Bell remarried and purchased land near her son John A. Bell in Stevens County. She died in 1898.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But wait a minute. That 1775 Kansas Territorial Census shows the name John W. Bell. How do I know that this is my John A. Bell? This John Bell was born in Indiana and lived in Indiana prior to coming to Kansas. That is what I expected. He was married to Amanda who was born in Kentucky. He had a son named John Fletcher Bell. The ages are about what I would expect. If we examine land records, a John W. Bell owns land adjacent to a Benjamin F. Jones and near John R. Bell and Mildred Bell. Benjamin Fletcher Jones is the father-in-law of John A. Bell. Mildred Bell was his mother. I am convinced that this John W. Bell is the same person as my John A. Bell.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> For some reason all records that I have found prior to Labette County refer to a John Bell. In Labette County the records refer to our John A. Bell several times as James W. Bell and then in 1885 as John H. Bell<sup>3</sup>. When the family moved west to Comanche County for a few years, land records referred to him as John W. Bell. </span><br />

</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> After the family arrived in Stevens County, John A. Bell was the name used. It was used in court records, land records, tombstone, and a published county history. For now I am leaving the name, John Andrew Bell, in my records, but . . .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Why did the name change? Was it intentional or accidental? I would love to know the reason.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> John A. Bell and Amanda C. Jones wed on 7 Aug 1873<sup>1</sup> in Jasper County, Missouri. In the "History of Stevens County & Its People" several of their children state that this marriage took place in Indiana<sup>2</sup>. This may have been the story that John and Amanda told their children but no record has been found to show that they were married there or that Amanda ever lived in Indiana. At the time of the marriage they were living in Mount Pleasant Township, Labette County, Kansas<sup>3,4</sup>. In the years prior, Amanda lived in Kentucky and Missouri. John had arrived from Indiana. Later they homesteaded land in Labette County, near Mound City, where several of their children were born before moving west to Stevens County, Kansas.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> At the time of the marriage John Andrew Bell was probably eighteen years old and Amanda was most likely sixteen years old. Was it legal for them to get married at that age? Did their parents approve? In any case, John and Amanda chose to travel from Labette County, through Cherokee County, crossing the Kansas-Missouri border, and to Jasper County, Missouri. At that time it appears that Jasper County may have served as the area's '<i>Gretna Green</i>'. (Gretna Green is a border town in Scotland, which is famous for weddings of couples who elope.) Twin Groves is one of the townships in Jasper County that borders Kansas. There is a William Bishop in that township in 1880 Census.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So, considering John's and Amanda's ages and location of wedding, is it possible that they eloped? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> P. P Sargent died in New Orleans on 28 Feb 1865, shortly before the end of the Civil War<sup>5</sup>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Two separate family genealogies published in 1882 and 1906 mention that Proctor moved around.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The first letter was definitely a 'G' based on Georgiana and Georgia which appeared earlier on the same page.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> After sleeping on it I read the pages of the census before and after this page and there I found an occupation listed which I recognized.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Wheelwright was probably written by a different person based upon the 'ght' but w<span style="text-align: left;">heelwright brought me to Ginwright. It turns out that a ginwright (gin wright) is someone who builds cotton gins or maintains and repairs existing cotton gins. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By the middle of the nineteenth century, cotton gins were large machines which were housed in large industrial-sized buildings. Cotton was big business and it is easy to see that it could be costly if the cotton gin didn't operate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So the 1850 Census shows Wilson H MacKie (McKie) as a Ginwright. He is living, along with his first wife, Elizabeth, and child, James. They are living with Elizabeth's parents, Sothy and Nancy Hays.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> For the last few weeks I have been following six sailboats as they make their way around the world in the <a href="http://www.volvooceanrace.com/" target="_blank">Volvo Ocean Race</a>. There were seven boats but one ended up on a reef in the Indian Ocean. Recently they have been making their way across the Southern Ocean from New Zealand to Cape Horn. The Southern Ocean is considered the toughest stretch of ocean to cross. Cape Horn is considered the Mount Everest of ocean sailing. The Internet carried live coverage of four of the boats as they made their way around the Horn on a 'good' weather day. (The two other boats include one which lost a sail and is limping along several days behind and another boat which lost their mast and had to withdraw from the race.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> These modern racing yachts are among the best boats made. Equipment is top notch. Their positions are sent to race headquarters every fifteen seconds. Satellites give them weather information and the positions of icebergs. The crews are the most experienced sailors in the world. And yet three of the seven have been or are in serious trouble.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Shortly after I watched the four boats pass Cape Horn, I was reading a digital book about the genealogy of one branch of Jayme's family<sup>1</sup>.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Joseph Libbey Folsom (the founder of Folsom, CA) was the half-brother of Jayme's great-great-grandmother, Olivia Ann Mead Sargent McKie. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Captain Joseph Libbey Folsom was sent by the army from the east coast of the United States around Cape Horn to California in 1846. The trip took six months. WOW. I admire the inner strength of these people to undertake such a journey. Thousands died attempting to travel to California by traveling around South America. (In the nineteenth century alone over fifty boats were documented to have sunk while rounding the Horn. Countless others were lost at other points in the passage from east to west.)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Current town boundaries in Middlesex County, Massachusetts are considerably smaller than they were in the the seventeenth century. Concord boundaries extended farther south. Mt. Misery and part of the town of Lincoln were originally part of Concord. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The Goble family moved from Charlestown to Concord sometime around the middle of the between 1652 (records showing Thomas Goble in Charlestown) and 1657 (Thomas Goble's will). The Goble house, still standing in 1904, was described as being on the edge of Walden Woods on the road leading west from the Village of Lincoln. This description would put the Goble farm about a half-mile from Mt. Misery and Walden Pond</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(see map below<sup>1</sup>)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Current day researchers believe that Mt. Misery was called Hurtlebery Hill during the seventeenth century.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Metacom, a Native American leader, known to the colonists as King Phillip had come to the conclusion that the settlers were dishonest and the only solution was to drive them from his land. The war lasted only about two years (1675-1676) but was particularly bloody. Ten percent of the adult male colonists were killed along with many women and children. Two-thirds of the English towns in Massachusetts were attacked. The Native American population fared even worse. Those who were not among the thousands who were killed, were captured and shipped off as slaves to the sugar plantations in the Caribbean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Life was just a precarious for those Indians who fought as allies of the English. Since some Indians had at times switched sides, the settlers decided that Native Americans couldn't be trusted. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Laws were passed which allowed the English to kill Indians who were not in their designated area. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> A short time before the end of the war, three Indian women and three children were given permission to leave their assigned location to gather berries near Hurtleberry Hill. It seems that hurtleberry can be used interchangeably with whortleberry, huckleberry and even blueberry. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> A local militia unit came upon the six indians. A short while later four of the soldiers returned. Daniel Hoar, Daniel Goble, Stephen Goble, and Nathaniel Wilder shot and hacked to death all six Indians<sup>2</sup>. Numerous similar incidents were known to have occurred but this was the only incident where the men were convicted. They were all sentenced to death. Stephen Goble was hung first. A week later Daniel Goble was hung. The other two men appealed their conviction on the basis that they were young and didn't participate. They were released after paying a fine. It probably didn't hurt that their fathers were upstanding members of the community. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Daniel Goble was married and left a wife and four children. His wife remarried and ironically years later she and her second husband and their child were killed in an Indian attack. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Stephen Goble was unmarried.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Note: </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Daniel Goble was the brother of my 8great-grandfather, Thomas Goble Jr. Stephen Goble was a son of Thomas Goble. Ruth Goble, a daughter of Thomas and brother of Stephen, was my 7great-grandmother. Ruth Goble married Samuel Stratton. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Do you have a troublesome neighbor? I suspect that throughout history there have been neighbors who haven't seen eye to eye. But have you ever called you neighbor a 'lying rascal' and then been sued.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> On 25 March 1650, in Charlestown, Massachusetts, John Goble was served with a summons<sup>1</sup>. Richard Temple had filed a complaint that John had called Richard a 'lying rascal'. This was just one of a series of differences between the Goble family and Richard Temple. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> There was an incident with a loose goose. Evidently, Goble's goose had wandered onto Temple's land and Temple warned Goble not to trespass. It seems that there was a scuffle with John's father, Thomas Goble, involved. John's mother, Alice grabbed her son's goose. There must have been some bad blood between the neighbors prior to this. As Roger Thompson suggests in <i>From Deference to Defiance, Charlestown 1629-1692</i>, Richard Temple was probably scared for his physical well-being. At the same time Thomas Goble may have suspected Richard Temple of supernatural recriminations.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The situation had been serious enough that both parties had been summoned to Rev. Zechariah Symmes's house along with several leaders of the community. The failure of this mediation led to the summons. The first court appearance was a short-lived victory for Goble (possibly as a result of the fact that Goble was a freeman and church member in Charleston whereas Temple was not). Later a jury found that Goble had indeed libeled Temple and Thomas Goble was fined 20 shillings and John Goble was fined 40 shillings. The Goble family was forced to put up a bond of £20 to keep the peace. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Problems continued for a few more years but eventually things quieted down and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">problems ended in Charlestown between the Gobles and Temples. Things could have quieted down because</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Richard moved to Concord. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Both Richard Temple and Thomas Goble died in 1657, and at that time they both lived in Concord.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> As Jayme and I were departing from Boston Logan Airport last November, we snapped a picture out of the window of the plane. Some time after returning, when I got around to examining our photographs, I realized that this picture showed many of the places that were important to our trip and also my family research.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We had spent a week at the Marriott Custom House, and from there we had visited many of Boston's points of interest. It was a short walk to the North End, Faneuil Hall, and the Boston Freedom Trail. We had visited "Old Ironsides" in Charlestown. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We had also visited Watertown, where Samuel Stratton had lived. It is likely that Samuel and his son, Richard, are buried in the cemetery that was active at that time. Samuel had owned several lots in Watertown. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Another ancestor, Thomas Goble, had settled in Charlestown. In the early days of colonization, Charlestown was much larger than today. I know that Thomas Goble worked the "Line Field" in 1649. He owned several lots in Charlestown.</span></div>

I knew that Samuel Stratton, son of Richard Stratton and grandson of the Samuel Stratton who settled in Watertown had married Ruth Goble in Concord, Massachusetts. But I hadn't spent any time researching the Goble family. I had just kept putting off that part of my research.<br />
It turns out that several books have been written on the Goble family and Thomas Goble and his sons are mentioned in several additional books including the Great Migration series<sup>1</sup>. The information appears to be solid but I will eventually verify the sources. In the meantime several facts about the Goble family stand out.<br />
Thomas Goble was baptised in 1591 in </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Aldingbourne, West Sussex, England</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> He was a elected a freeman in Charlestown on September 3, 1634.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Roger Thompson is emeritus professor of American Colonial History at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, England. I possess two of his books. I have used his book on Watertown as a reference for my research into my Stratton ancestors. Another book, From Deference to Defiance, Charlestown, 1629-1692 mentions Thomas Goble<sup>2</sup> several times. In this book Professor Thompson includes lists of office holders of Charlestown which had not been previously published.<br />
In 1649, Thomas Goble serves the townspeople as a Hog Reeve<sup>2</sup>. I didn't know the definition of a hog reeve so a search was necessary. A hog reeve<sup>3</sup> is one who rounded up stray hogs and assessed the damage caused by the hog. The owner of the hog was then required to pay a fine when he retrieved the hog.<br />
Also in 1649, Thomas served the town in two other positions. He was a Fence Viewer and a Field Driver. A fence viewer made sure that settlers followed the rules about fencing in animals and certain crops. The fence viewer also attempted to settle disputes arising between adjacent landowners. A field driver took stray animal to the pound to prevent damage to crops. Both Fence Viewer and Field Driver are positions still included in Massachusetts law<sup>4</sup>.<br />
In the early days Charlestown included much of the land that is today Somersville and Arlington. Thomas was a field driver in the 'Line Field'. The line field was near Mystic Ponds (Lakes) about where Highway 60 intersects Broadway in Arlington. At that time the boundaries of Watertown Cambridge and Charlestown were much different than today. Thomas Goble probably lived fairly close to the line Field. This happens to be close to where the Strattons lived in Watertown. <br />
Ruth Goble and Samuel Stratton are my seventh-great grandparents.<br />

In that time a few records about him have survived. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Richard Stratton was a son of Samuel Stratton. Samuel had arrived in Watertown, Massachusetts sometime before 1647. Samuel had settled in Watertown with his wife, Alice and two of his sons, Samuel and John. Richard Stratton arrived in Massachusetts in late spring or early summer of 1656, aboard the Speedwell. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Above is an image of the marriage license for Francis Walker and Eliza Ann Simison<sup>1</sup>. It is dated 4 June 1855. Since I had seen this image on an ancestry.com family tree and the marriage was listed as 4 June 1855, I recorded that date. Recently, I located the same record on familysearch.org. As I browsed through this book of marriage licenses on familysearch.org I noticed that next to this document is a statement that the marriage was executed on the same day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> However, by going back to the first page in this book of marriages one can see that the date of execution of marriages are written on the following page. The next page shows that Francis Walker and Eliza Ann Simison were married on 19 June 1855. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> That is a good date. It turns out that Jayme and I share the same wedding anniversary as Jayme's great-great-grandparents. Eliza Ann and Francis were
married for 24 years when Francis passed away in Texas. Jayme and I celebrated out 43rd anniversary this past week.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The family moved west in 1836, settling in Jerome Township, Union County, Ohio. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Chester Fox passed away in 1863 and in the 1870 Census Susannah is living by herself and not with any of her nearby living children. In the 1880 Census she has paralysis and is living with her sister, Mary Winget in nearby Delaware County<sup>2</sup>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Who are Susannah's parents? Would her sister's records leave some clue? By combing several records as well as a published history of Union County, we find that her sister Mary had married Martin Webster in Manchester, Connecticut<sup>1 </sup>in 1824. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mary Winget passed away in late 1880 and Susannah lived another year. Who took care of Susannah during that year? Was the paralysis permanent? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> And then there is the question that I have to answer if I am to discover more about the Keeney family. W</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ho are the parents of Susannah and Mary? At this time I haven't a clue, but that won't stop me from looking.</span></div>

As I scanned through the articles one article caught my eye. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <a href="http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name/" target="_blank">How to Tell Someone’s Age When All You Know Is Her Name </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The article was interesting to me from a genealogical standpoint. The authors discuss the median age of some young names and some older names. My sister's grandson is named Jadon (Jayden). The median age for people named Jayden is about four years old. (50% of the boys with that name are younger than four.) On the other end of the spectrum is my grandfather's name, Elmer. The median age for people named Elmer is sixty-six. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In my family tree there women named, Beulah, Minnie, Mabel, and Agnes. The median age for those names is at least seventy-five. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> My granddaughter, Hailey, is fourteen and the median age for the name Hailey is thirteen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next time I go to my other granddaughter's soccer game I bet I hear the names that appear on the youngest name list: Ava, Ella, Isabella, Zoe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Take a look at this graph<sup>1</sup> from the article. Mabel was my grandmother's middle name. And there is my grandfather's name at the top of the list for men.</span><br />
