| 755 | Note on Find a Grave for Elizabeth: Levi Shook was married first to Elizabeth Kennedy and second to Elizabeth Ann Gammill. Elizabeth Ann was born August 4, 1819 in Tennessee. Southwest Missouri Newspaper Abstracts, Vol., 10, Marionville, Missouri Free Press, Sept. 7, 1894-Dec. 14, 1900, p. 18 lists for Feb. 25, 1897: "Died on 19th, Mrs. Ann Shook, sister of Mr. S. M. Gammill, at home of her son-in-law, Lige Allen, 3 1/2 miles south of Mt. Vernon. Heart disease, age 77."This isdentifies Elizabeth Ann Shook of Lawrence County, Missouri and widow of Levi Shook as having been a Gammill. The 1880 census of Lawrence County Missouri, Spring River Township, sh. 526B, family 174 shows Elizabeth Shook, age 60 living with Elijah S. Allen and wife, Elizabeth Ann and identifies her as the mother-in-law of Elijah, who is head of the household. The last known child of Levi Shook and his first wife, Elizabeth Kennedy, was Sarah Shook, born 1836. Since Levi remarried in 1844, Elizabeth Kennedy Shook evidently died sometime between 1836 and 1844.Note: The quote above from Southwest Missouri Newspaper Abstracts gives the death date of Elizabeth Ann (Gammill) Shook as Feb. 19, 1897; however, the tombstone inscription shows Feb. 20, 1897 instead. (See tombstone rubbing I just posted which shows birth and death dates for Elizabeth Ann Shook.)

| 757 | Note on Find a Grave: Bio-by Ken Smith Mary was the daughter of John Warren and Margaret Bayly Fowle, she was born in Nayland, Suffolk, England and baptised there on September 12, 1624. In the year 1630, John, Margaret and four of their children, including Mary who was only six years old, joined the Winthrop Fleet and sailed for America on the ship "Arabella", arriving at Salem on June 12. After stopping in Salem and Charlestown, they settled in Watertown. Among the early records of Watertown, Massachusetts, is the record of Mary's marriage to John Bigelow, reading as follows: "1642-30-8, John Biguloh and Mary Warin joyned in mariag before Mr. Nowell." This is the earliest marriage found in the Watertown records. John and Mary had twelve children, all born in Watertown. Mary died in 1691, so John, as was the custom in those days, took a second wife, Sarah, the daughter of Joseph Bemis. Mary was buried in the Grove Hill Cemetery in Waltham. | Warren, Mary (I592)

| 759 | Note on Find a Grave: Born about 1602 (deposed 14 Aug 1662 "aged sixty years"). Came from Marlborough, Wiltshire, to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "James" of London. First settled in Newbury; moved to Hampton NY in 1652, & Nantucket MA in 1663. Died by 1 Aug 1682 (date of administration). Married (1) Wooton Rivers, Wiltshire, 24 Nov 1623, Susan Raulines, who died at Newbury, 17 Nov 1650. (2) 16 Jul 1651, Mary (____) Johnson, widow of Edmund Johnson of Hampton (Newbury records also show this marriage & give the datre as 11 Jul 1651). She died at Hampton 30 Jan 1662/3. (On 7 Oct 1651, :Tho[mas] Coleman" is called father-in-law [i.e., step-father] to the children of Edmund Johnson. (3) By an unknown date, Margery (Fowler) (Osgood) Rowell, daughter of PHILLIP FOWLER {1634, Ipswich} & widow successively of Christopher Osgood & Thomas Rowell. As the widow of Thomas Coleman, she later married Thomas Osborne of Nantucket. It would appear that Thomas Coleman or one of his wives was perhaps somehow associated with Thomas Chase of Hampton, ot his wife. On 4 Oct 1653, "Thomas Coleman was given a month to file his bond and mortgage his land as security for the [Chase] children's portion" of Thomas Chase's estate. | Coleman, Thomas (I462)

| 760 | Note on Find a Grave: Born Say 1640. Named in father's will of 19 Apr 1650. Deceased without issue by 27 May 1673, when she received no legacy from her mother' Source: Anderson's Great Migration Study Project. | Osgood, Elizabeth (I456)
|
| 761 | Note on Find a Grave: Christoper was baptized in Newton Tony on Apr. 17, 1606. The baptism record shows his father as Thomas Osgood. He died in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony sometime between the date of his will, April 19, 1650, and when his will was proven, October 10, 1650. He is assumed to be buried in the Old North Burial Ground in Ipswich, but no marker or burial record has been found. Christopher was most likely born to Thomas and Margaret (Skeat) Osgood in the village of Newton Tony, Wiltshire, England, which is about 9 miles N/E of Salisbury. This is based on the article, "New Light on the English Background of the Osgoods of Essex County, Massachusetts", published in The American Genealogist, Jan/Apr 2008. Another popular candidate for Christopher's father has been Robert (or Christopher) Osgood of Wherwell, Hampshire, England. This appears to be based on the fact that Robert's son by an earlier marriage, John, and his younger half brother, William, briefly stayed with Christopher when they arrived in the New World. Although they were probably related, no documentation has been found supporting that they were brothers (see, Anderson's Great Migration Study Project for more). Christopher married 1st Mary Evarett (or Evarard) on April 23, 1632 in St. Mary's Parish Church in Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. She died in Marlborough on April 21, 1633, shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Mary (linked below). She was buried at St. Mary's. He married 2nd Margaret Fowler, daughter of Phillip and Mary (Winslow) Fowler, in St. Mary's on July 28, 1633. They immigrated with his daughter, Mary, and Margaret's parents, to the New World on the ship, "Mary and John", which sailed from Southampton. They arrived at Salem in May 1634 and settled in Ipswich where he became a freeman in May 1635. He was a brickmaker. John and William arrived on the "Confidence" in 1638, along with daughter Mary's future husband, John Lovejoy (among others). Christopher and Margaret had five children in Ipswich: Abigail, Elizabeth, Deborah (who married John Russ), Christopher and Thomas. They, with Mary, are shown in Christopher's will. After Christopher died in 1650, Margaret married three more times, to Deacon Thomas Rowell, with whom she had issue, and to Thomas Coleman and Thomas Osborne. Her date of death and burial location are unknown. | Osgood, Christopher (I447)

| 762 | Note on Find a Grave: Christopher Osgood married (1) at St. Mary, Marlborough, Wiltshire, 21 April 1632, Mary Everatt. She was buried there on 22 April 1633. They had one child: Mary (Osgood) Lovejoy. Source: Anderson's Great Migration Study Project. | Everatt, Mary (I451)

| 763 | Note on Find a Grave: Family records indicate that Gideon and Mary had five children, 3 boys and 2 girls: Samuel, Nathaniel, Gideon, Mary (Merrill) Steel and Hannah (Merrill) Merry. Gideon and Mary were my 5th great grandparents. It is exciting to have found them. His son Gideon (1749-1803), whose burial along with the other children is unknown, was a participant in the Revolutionary War. Apparently no tombstone(s) exist at this time. One person indicated that a grave marker was extant when the book on the cemetery was written in 1994 and may still be there in the middle of the north edge of the burying ground near what is called locally "the Gold Building" on Main Street in downtown Hartford. | Merrill, Gideon (I520)

| 771 | Note on Find a Grave: Marriage: Levi Shook November 4, 1828 Flat Creek, Bedford County, Tennessee, USA Note: When I made the tombstone rubbing to enable one to read the inscription on the stone, I was in contact with a descendant living in California, who gave her year of birth as possibly 1809. Although the inscription on her stone shows a birth date of 4 August 1819, I believe this to be incorrect as verified by the descendant. (A closer look at the rubbing indicates the year of birth could have been 1815 or 1813.) Had she been born in 1819, she would have only been 9 years of age when she married and 10 years of age when her first child was born. Children: Phinetta Jane Shook William Kennedy Shook Sarah Shook Elizabeth A. Shook Levi Shook was married first to Elizabeth Kennedy and second to Elizabeth Ann Gammill. Elizabeth Ann was born August 4, 1819 in Tennessee.

The last known child of Levi Shook and his first wife, Elizabeth Kennedy, was Sarah Shook, born 1836.

| 781 | Note on Find a Grave: The immigrant, John Lovejoy, was the progenitor of the New England branch of the American Lovejoys. He was likely the son of a William Lovejoy of Caversham, England.(1) This John was baptized as "John Lovejoye, s. Willm", on Jul. 14, 1622. His mother was not shown and no additional records have been proved for William. See, James R. Henderson, "The English Origins of John Lovejoy of Andover, Massachusetts", NEHGS Register, V.163, Jan 2009 for more. John and his sister, Grace, immigrated to New England on "The Confidence" in 1638 as indentured servants to John Stephens (John Stevens), a husbandman (farmer) from Goversham (Caversham), which then was in Oxfordshire.(2) It is likely they became indentured to pay for their passage. They initially settled in Newbury, where Grace is believed to have become the wife of William Blanchard (or Ballard?). Both John Stevens and John Lovejoy are later found among the first settlers of Andover (see, Abiel Abbott's 1829 "History of Andover", p. 15). John Lovejoy married 1st Mary Osgood, daughter of immigrants Christopher and Mary (Everatt/Everard) Osgood, in Ipswich, Essex County, MA on Jan. 1, 1650/1651. John and Mary had 12 known children, all born in Andover: 1. Mary (1652-1677; m. Joseph Wilson) 2. Sarah (1654-1706; m. William Johnson) 3. John (1655-1680; m. Naomi Hoyt) 4. William (1657-1748; m. Mary Farnum) 5. Anne (1659-1723; m. Jonathan Blanchard) 6. Christopher (1662-1737; m. Sarah Russ) 7. Joseph (1663-1737) 8. Benjamin (1664-1689) 9. Nathaniel (1667-1758; m. Dorothy Hoyt) 10. Abigail (1669-1747; m. Nehemiah Abbott) 11. Debora (1671-?) 12. Ebenezer (1673-1759; m. Mary Foster). After Mary died in 1675, John served in the Salem Militia during King Phillip's War (1675-1676). He then married 2nd Mrs. Hannah (Hoyt) Pritchard in Andover in Feb. 1676/1677. Her husband, William, had been killed in the "Brookfield Massacre" during the war. There was no issue from this union. John had an initial allotment of 7 acres in Andover. This was increased to over 200 acres by the time of his death. That was a large amount of land for that area and time. With it, he was able to provide substantial farms for his sons. In addition to farming, he was a fence viewer and a constable. He also owned an iron works with his sons. John's will was dated Sep, 1, 1690. It was proved on Mar 31, 1691. He is presumed to have been buried in the North Parish Burying Ground, but his grave has not been found. [Bio by Darrell Mansur, a 9th great grandson of John Lovejoy and 10th of John Stevens.] Notes: (1) Major Clarence Lovejoy speculated in his 1930 Lovejoy Genealogy that John's father might have been Rowland Lovejoy, a London goldsmith, based on John's birth year, but he noted there was no proof of that connection. He apparently had not seen the "Confidence" ship manifest or the Caversham records. (2) Caversham became part of Reading Borough, Berkshire County, England in 1911. | Lovejoy, John (I454)

| 787 | Notes from Find a Grave: Sarah was born c1685 in County Limerick, Munster, Ireland and died aft 1733 in Frederick Co MD. The daughter of Tobias and Anne Vesey, she was first married to Isaac Barton Sr in 6 Dec 1705 in Ireland. They immigrated to America in 1714 and settled in Chester Co PA. They had at least seven children, five sons and one daughter. After Isaac's death in 1721, Sarah married Robert Jones in 1722 in Chester Co PA. Sarah had one known child with her second husband, son Thomas. Sarah stopped attending meetings after Isaac died. Women were appointed to go see her. Soon after, she married Robert Jones, sometime before 26 Mar 1722, when the Friends decided to talk with her about marrying out of the faith. The very next month, she signed a paper in effect leaving the Quakers. Quaker Meeting Records 1681-1994: "At our Monthly Meeting Hold att Providence ye 30 of the 2 mo: 1722" "Chester -- Patience Wright, Martha Townsend" "The frds appointed to goe to Sarah Barton Report ye they have been wth her, and Shee sayd shee intended to come to this meeting but shee not coming friends do pray it will next meeting." "At Our Monthly Meeting Held at Providence ye 26 of ye 1 mo: 1722" "Chester -- Agness Salkild, Lydia Vernon" "Complaint being made by frds of Chester Meeting conserning Sarah Barton Marying with one ye is not of our Society & this Meeting appoints Grace Loyd and Lydia Vernon to goe ye speak to ye said Sarah and see if they can bring her to a sence of her outgoing." The next month, Sarah brought a paper to the meeting which was accepted: "Acknowledged and Disownment Robert Jones, Sarah, acknowledged for marrying out." Dated 31 Apr 1722, Marlborough; she then made her mark. Robert and Sarah moved to Frederick Co MD sometime before 1733. Note: Quakers used the Old Style, Julian calendar, thus beginning their year on March 25. Sorry for any confusion in regards to Sarah's marriages or other dates. Her memorial has now been corrected according to actual Quaker dates. If anyone needs this conversion chart, please let me know.

Ward Sinex died Feb 14. She was the wife of the late Dr. T. H. Sinex and was very noted for her great work in the W.C.T.U. Dr. and Mrs. Sinex were married here Sept. 18, 1848, and shortly afterwards moved to California for the benefit of the latter's health. Of her death the Pacific Grove Review says in part: "She died as she lived, a refined, Christian lady, trusting implicitly in the inscrutable ways of Him, who doeth all things well, and entered into rest fully prepared to meet her husband whose lips contentedly murmured as his spirit wings its flight to its maker. "The boats has touched the shore, it is over now."

| 798 | Obituary from Find a Grave: From Nevada Representative February 19, 1908 OBITUARY DEATH OF HENRY MILLER Henry Miller, formerly a well-known resident of Richland township, living immediately north of Nevada, is reported to us as having died at or near the town of Thompson in Winnebago county of this state on Tuesday, February 4. His age was 81 or 82 and the immediate cause of his death was a fall on the cement walk in Thompson on the Saturday preceding. From this fall he suffered a broken hip and internal injuries, from which at his advanced age he was unable to recover. Mr. Miller was born in Ohio on November 25 of the year 1825 or 1826, and he came as a youth or young man to Rising Sun Polk county, Iowa where he lived for several years and where he was married in the fall of 1852 to Miss Eliza Barton with whom he lived for about 34 years, she dying at the farm north of Nevada in August, 1886. Mr. Miller moved with his family to Story county and to the farm before mentioned in 1863 and lived and prospered her for about thirty years. Unfortunate investments, however, dissipated his savings of years and his last years were spent in various towns in northwestern Iowa in trying circumstances. Mr. Miller had four children of whom the eldest died in infancy, and his daughter Tillie, who married Nels Rasmussen, died several years ago at Highmore, South Dakota. The others are Phoebe, now Mrs. Edwin Eaglebarger of Lenora, Kansas and Samuel C. of Livermore, Iowa. Mr. Miller was an earnest member of the Methodist church and was for the most of his life notably interested in religious subjects. What were his particular interests in his later and more nomadic years we cannot say; but he is remembered most kindly by the people with whom he was associated in the years of his activity here, and his death will be noted with much regret. The interment was in the cemetery at Rising Sun in Polk county, where Mrs. Miller is also buried, and in the village where their married life began.
