Amanuensis Monday: The Will of Joshua Newby 1848 Henry Co., Indiana

About Joshua Newby:

Joshua Newby was my maternal fourth great grandfather. He was the first born child of William and Elizabeth Ratliff Newby, born March 15, 1767 in Randolph Co., North Carolina.  The early settlements of the ancestral branch of the Newby family in North Carolina were in the counties bordering upon Albemarle Sound, such as Perquimans, Paspitank and Chowan. They were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). Joshua married Rachel Nixon on December 21, 1789 and they had 13 children, all born in Randolph Co. In 1837 this group of Quakers, William and Elizabeth and their descendants, migrated to Henry Co., Indiana where they settled and helped establish the large Quaker settlement of that area. Their 12th child, Jacob, was my third great grandfather and he and his wife were the subjects of yesterday's post Sentimental Sunday: Beyond Serendipity

Sentimental Sunday: Beyond Serendipity

The small Miracle of finding Jacob and Levina

If you're squeamish about miracles you might want to skip this post....you may be tempted to "believe".

On my very first genealogical expedition back in 1998, my husband, daughter and I left Florida and after stops in Tennessee and Kentucky we finally arrived at our end destination in Henry Co., Indiana. We had several cemeteries on our list and on Saturday I was to meet my cousin Doug with whom I had corresponded about genealogy over the past year but hadn't seen in person since I was a baby. On Saturday morning we left the motel early so we could stop for a short time at the Glencove Cemetery in Knightstown before heading over to Newcastle to meet my cousin. I was eager to find the tombstones of my maternal third great grandparents Jacob N. and Levina Leonard Newby.

No one was at the office of the cemetery so we had to start looking on our own. We knew they were buried in the old part of the cemetery so we drove to that section. Daughter Hallie decided to sit it out in the van and so my husband Mike and I split up and started the search. He took the western edge under the trees on the other side of the road (top of the framed section in the picture below - click to make larger) and I started walking the middle section.

After just 20 minutes or so I realized how short our time was getting and I definitely didn't want to be late but I couldn't stand the thought of leaving that cemetery without finding Jacob and Levina. So, halfway down a row I suddenly stopped in my tracks and I prayed a short prayer something like this: "Lord, you know who I'm looking for and you know how much time I have, please help me!" As soon as I said this I looked back over my shoulder and my eyes fell on a stone about 25 stones back and 3 to 4 rows over. I couldn't possibly read it from that distance but I pivoted around and started making my way to that stone. I heard Mike yell "Whaddaya doing?" and I just held up my hand and kept going, never taking my eyes off that stone.

When I found myself standing in front of the tombstone of Jacob N. Newby and Levina's stone right next to his, my knees went weak, and yes...the hair on my arms was standing straight up. I was really thrilled to see those stones but I was deeply overwhelmed with the real miracle that had just happened. There was no doubt in my mind then or now that God himself put me in front of my ancestors. This was a confirmation of what I'd always believed too...that God honors genealogy. I already knew that because of all those "begats" in the Bible!

Surname Saturday: GRUNDEN [Part 2]

MARY LOUISA GRUNDEN NEWBY

My maternal great, great grandmother

Daughter of Joseph and Martha Dungan Grunden, granddaughter of Samuel and Margaret Anderson Grunden

Years ago when I would google "Grunden", 95% or more of the hits would turn up sites written in German. There might only be a dozen to two dozen hits in all. Now, the Internet world has leaped huge, gigantic leaps and there is no end to the hits on this surname. On Facebook alone there are over 300 Grundens listed. And if you put in the alternative spelling of Grundon, you get well over 100 more listings.

Mary Louisa Grunden married John Alby Newby on July 18, 1863 in Henry Co., Indiana. They had five children: Gertrude M., Charles Lee, Frank, Bertha M. and Edward. Louisa died February 3, 1893, just five months before her first grandchild was born, my grandmother Mary Fern, daughter of Charles Lee and Ida May Trowbridge Newby. Seven years after her death, John married the widow, Julia Ann Langdon Morris and Julia was the only grandmother my grandmother or her siblings ever knew. When I received John Newby's obituary and lengthy memorial from the Knightstown Banner I learned that Mary Louisa had been an invalid for 12 years before she died. I have not found an obituary for her but there was a death announcement from the New Castle Courier, February 10, 1893, page 8 column 3: "Mrs. John Newby died at her home here on Friday from dropsy. The funeral services occurred at the M.E. church on Sunday."

John and Louisa are both buried in the Glencove Cemetery in Knightstown, Henry Co., Indiana. No stone has been found for either one of them.

The DIRT on Robert Noah: Caught With Nude Model!

ROBERT NOAH RUNYAN: Photographer 

Runyan & Rogers - Richmond, Indiana

Studio name on damaged photo taken of Robert's youngest son, my grandfather

My maternal great grandfather Robert Noah Runyan was a photographer and the family story is that he was "caught" with a nude female model. The story is unclear about whether he was doing anything beyond artistic activities. The incident, and likely others as well, infuriated my great grandmother Mary Elizabeth (Darling) Runyan who divorced Robert in 1896 just 3 years after my grandfather Lawrence was born. She actively discouraged the children from having any contact with their father. Another family story is that Robert appeared some years later at the door of his daughter Bessie and she refused to speak to him and sent him away. I believe it was Bessie who'd been given the task of taking lunch to her father at the studio and she was the one who saw the model and ran home to tell.

Now, I've heard a few snips here and there that came from the older children about how Robert was a pretty fun dad. He like to take the kids down by the river to fish and play along the bank. But Mary was a rather stern and sober type who wanted her children to stay clean. 

Hmmm...one can only ponder these things! I wonder, with our amazing technology, if that time machine will be developed in my lifetime?

Sentimental Sunday: The (Vintage) Florida Seashore

Delicious memories of childhood and a carefree time... 

Sand crunching between the toes, the glorious warmth of the sun, salt spray carried on the breeze, collections of sea shells, starfish and sand dollars, brightly colored plastic shovels and buckets, clumsily built sand castles, coquinas digging into the sand after washing up on the beach, little crabs fleeing to their holes, sailboats on the horizon, the constant cry of hungry seagulls...and falling asleep on the gritty blanket underneath the beach umbrella near the end of day. And lastly, waking up just minutes before the brilliant orange ball of sun created an imaginary sizzle as it appeared to touch the water, and then watching as it slowly slipped downward and out of sight into the darkening sea.

Surname Saturday: HAYDEN - Parents of Eleanor Logsdon

WILLIAM & CATHERINE ENSEY HAYDEN

Eleanor Hayden was the wife of Joseph (Blackhead) Logsdon, my husband's paternal third great grandfather. For further information on Joseph Logsdon see my blog Amanuensis Monday: The Will of Joseph Logsdon. Eleanor's parents were William and Catherine Ensey Hayden.

A collection of notes on William & Catherine Hayden:

William Hayden and Catherine Ensey were both born in 1754. William was the son of John Hayden who came from St. Mary's Co., Maryland and purchased 164 acres of woodland near Westminster, Maryland called "Friendship Completed" on March 17, 1768. William was one of nine Hayden children and the only son. (1,2,5)

Tax lists show William as the head of a household in 1773.  In 1783, he owned 134 acres of "Friendship Completed" and his household consisted of seven total inhabitants with him being the only adult male.  By 1798, he owned parts of "Friendship Completed" and "Glendorick" and his structures included:

"outhouses, 1 log barn 20 x 40, 1 log stable 20 x 18, 1 log dwelling house 18 x 16, 1 log kitchen 16 x 15, 1 smokehouse 12 x 16, 1 other house 16 x 14, 1 story each." (3)

William Hayden took the "Oath of Fidelity and Support" in Frederick County in 1778.  This oath was required as a pledge of allegiance to the State of Maryland and a renunciation of British rule.  The U.S. Census returns for 1790 show "William Hyden" with four free, white, males under sixteen years of age, and three free, white females. (4) 

William died on January 4, 1802, leaving a will that reads, in part:

"...In the first place it is my will and I do order that sixty four acres of...land of that tract called Glandolick which tract I bought of Stephen Winchester said sixty four acres lying next to Joseph Arnolds and the same to be sold at publick sale and the money arising there from to be applied to my creditors in paying my debts and so much of my personal Estate with what can be spared of the Crop in the Ground as shall pay all my debts and the remaining part of all my Estate real and personal I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved wife Catherine during her natural life to bring up my children untill they come to the age of fifteen years and then to be bound to such Trades as they shall chuse or as my Executors think most proper for them if in case she does not dy nor marry, but if she should either die or marry that then all my Estate Real and personal shall be sold and all my children shall be bound out to treads, but if she should marry that then the money arising therefrom to be divided in the following manner and form that whereas my son John has had to the amount of forty four pounds and my daughter Eleanor has had to the amount of thirty one pound six shillings, it is my will that all the rest of my children shall be made equill with them if there should be enough and if any remains after they are made equill that then it shall be divided equally amongst my wife and all my children...I constitute make and ordain my trusty and beloved friend William Arnold and my well beloved son William Haden my only and sole executors..." (8)

This will became the subject of a lawsuit in 1839 that resulted in the sale and distribution of the Hayden estate.  

Basil Hayden administered the sale of the estate and sold "Glendorick" and part of "John's Pleasant Meadow" to William Ward in 1843 and 134 acres of "Friendship Completed" to Lewis Trumbo for $1800 one year later.  The notices advertising these sales and describing the property read as follows:

"ONE FARM, Containing 134 Acres, more or less, lying on the road leading from Westminster to Washington city, about three quarters of a mile from Westminster.  The improvements upon the said farm, consist of a Log Dwelling House, one story and a half high; Barn and other necessary outhouses; a fine dairy immediately below a Spring of most excellent water.  The convenience of this farm to the county seat, renders it a very desirable situation.  The land is of a very improvable quality and not remote from abundant supplies of limestone.  A few years of husbandlike management would increase its value to double its present rate.  If however, purchasers can be better suited, it will be divided into lots of five and ten acres, and thus sold.  

Also,

A SMALL FARM of about 80 Acres, a short distance below, being about three miles from Westminster and one mile from the Baltimore and Reisterstown turnpike road 2E This farm has no improvements upon it. -- It has, however, all the conveniences which would make it a pleasant residence.  About one third of it is excellent TIMBER, Hickory, Oak, and Chestnut of good quality.  Also, excellent springs of water, &c.  Terms made known on day of the sale.  Basil Hayden, Trustee" (11)

Catherine lived for 35 years without William.  She is listed in the 1810 U.S. Census as the head of a household of three males and three females and the 1837 tax lists enumerate her as owning 134 acres of "Friendship". Catherine passed on in October of that year, at the age of 83.  Her son , Basil, administered her estate and ran the following newspaper ad on January 12, 1838:

"Notice is hereby given that the subscriber of Carroll Co. hath obtained from the Orphan's Court of said county, letters of administration on the personal estate of CATHERINE HAYDEN, late of Carroll Co., deceased.  All persons having claims against said estate are hereby warned to exhibit the same, with the vouchers, to the subscriber, within the time limited by law.  They may otherwise, by law, be excluded from all benefits of said estate.  Those indebted are requested to make immediate payment. Basil Hayden, Adm'r" (10)

Both William and Catherine were buried in St. John's Catholic Cemetery, in Westminster, Carroll Co., Maryland. (5)
