* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * .* * * * * * * * * * * *CHANGING TIMES

My mother was from a family of 10 children - her brothers~ sistersand she produced only 15 children.A statement of a friend was recently made that he was 1 of a familyof 14 children. A quick and startled reply quipped "TODAY?1i Yes,the large family era has passed, but for the searching genealogist,there are many avenues to trace because of those expanded beginnings .

.That side street of a more remote but better documented ancestorcould lead you down the road to discovery.

"CLUES" TO THE PAST'In reviewing a census microfilm recently from a page out of thepast, it did not dawn on me 'til much later that the Occupation/Profession which I had noted from three separ2~e individuals were11car inspector", II car washer " and II car salesman." Once' I returnedto wor-k xl.i.d that microfilm ring a bell. The census noted the wor-d"car" - not liautomobileoll And you tell me, how many Ilcarsf! werein existence in 1900 to warrant an inspector, washer and salesman.Far too frequently we accept the modern conveniences of today andforget that our' ancestors struggled with no electric lights~ tele-phones, kitchen appliances,. automobiles, airplanes, highways, hotand cold running water, inside plumbing etc. to make our countrywhat it is today. vlhen researching ~ we must not overlook any clueson the road to the past.

Several years ago I published in the National Genealogical Quarterly, a list ofdebtors whose names appeared in an account book my John L. Erwin kept when he had astore in Russell County, Virgini~, covering the years 1818 to 1831. On February 4,1980 I received a letter from Fairbanks, Alaska from a Mrs. Haggard, who said shethought she was descended from Fr,ancisBrowning - whose name appeared on the abovelist - and asked for a copy of what the debtor bought.

Well! What the debtor bought was a minor detail, but I have the Francis Browningbible records. They have all the dates, all the children, and some of,the grand-children, offices held by Francis Browning with dates of t~nure, and also theReynolds bible records, showing one of the girls married into that family. Notonly that, but I know stories about Francis Browning, suc~ as the fact he rode intotown on his horse when he was 100 years old and cast his vote in the election. Ihave been in the church Francis Browning built back in the 1700's, which is stillin use. So Mrs. Haggard got quite a lot of information by asking what FrancisBrowning bought at my great grandfather's store in the early 1800's. Incidentally,neither the Brownings nor the Reynolds are any kin to me. Recently a man in Orsgonwrote the public library asking about a book on Gobbles and Mangles that I am sup-posed to have written. I didn't. They are no kin to me. However, I was able torefer him to a lady in Colorado wiio is working on those lines. Over the yea!:."]Iseem to have fallen into the role of "general clearing house," and the word eeezisto travel far and wide. Written by ~1aryJane Knisely

THE GREAT AMERICAN GENTLEMANWilliam ayrd of Westover in-Virginia

His Secret Diary for the Years 1709-1712Edited by Louis B. Wright and Marion Tinling

Capricorn Books Edition, 1963 New YorkSBN~ 399-50098-7

Compiled and Submitted by Clifton o. Duty_ This little book of 249 pages contains selected entries from the

cited diary. This is the earliest of three diaries of William Byrd inprint, and illustrates colonial life in this period. From the IntroGuc-tiony these facts are gleaned: William Byrd II, son of William Byrd Iv1674-1744. Educated in England, and in Holland (business practices).Inherited a substantial fortune from his fathe~, an Indian trader andplanter. Elected to the House of Burgesses, member of Council of Stat3;County Colonel of Militia. Westover, Virginia is located about fivehours horseback ride from the Colonial capitol of Williamsburgy possiblyin Surry County, near other counties noted~ Isle of Wight and Nansemond,near Newport News, Portsmouth, Norfolk area. Almost daily, he read fromhis extensive library, in Latin, Greek, Hebrewq French and Italian. AFellow of the Royal Society of London. Ancestor of Senator Byrd (Va.)and Admiral Byrd. His diary was written in his own shorthand, which wasbased on the text, 1672, tlAPen Pluckt from an Eagle i s Wing II (La PlumeVolante). Wife was Lucy Parke, spoiled of Colonel Daniel Parke, who wasmurdered during this period in the West Indies.

William Byrd II was hard working, self disciplines, God fearing.He prayed morning and night, and when he failed to pray, asked forgive- ~ness in his diary. He matter of factly recorded his marital relations,and his temptations concerning other women, but never failed to askGod's forgiveness for his "unclean thoughts". He continually lookedafter the welfare of his slaves and two_children, whipping them as hethought necessary, and acting continually as their doctor;'bleeding them,giving them purges, applying linseed oil, etc. He faithfully recordedeach day the kinds of food and drink he consumed, showing a partialitytowards meat, fowl and wine. On at least one occasion, he ate fricaseeof opossum. He favored shoat (young pig), mutton, blue wing ducky baconand beans. I do not recall his mentioning one time a green vegetable.He and his family and slaves were often sick, but most recovered inspite of his ministrations. His daughter died of the fever, and Byrdtook the "bark" (quinine) to ward off the chills and fever of what wasapparently malaria. He "danced his dance" almost daily, that is, tookhis sitting up exercises, and skipped rope. He also liked to walk andruny and on rainy days, walked in his library.

He quarreled frequently with his wife, whose name he never mention-ed, and always thought her to be on the wrong side of every argument.In spite of these quarrels, they seemed to enjoy life together, and onseveral instances, she travelled for what was great distances in thosedays, to be with him in Williamsburg, etc. They were good neighbors,acting as personal nurses quite often.

William Byrd was a good business man, planned his crops well, drovea good bargain; but was fair in his dealingsy and held others to their ~word. Tobacco seemed to be his main crop, although he raised applesand other fruit. He spent much time keeping his-monetary accounts.A~the end of the day, his typical diary entry would contain thesephrase~~

The reviewer has not been able to trace Peter Duty apy further.There was much fighting with the Indians before and after this period,and he may have been killed or died.

I recommend reading of this-diary to those who are interested in afirst hand account of the times, and to those in search of names of theperiod, as many are mentioned in the diary of William Byrd II. Amongthe prominent names~ Custis, Randolph, Miles Cary, Anderson, Bland,Bolling, Cocke, "Eopes f Rhett, Robinson Q Jeffrey, Mumford, Carter, Duke,Digges, Lewis, Bassett, Ludwell, Burwell, Blair, tfJare,Hardiman, Grills,

,Haynes, Atkinson, West Webb, 'and many more. There is no index to thisbook. It might be to the advantage of the serious researcher to obtainthe original edition of the three diaries.

On second thought, Westover may have been in Prince George County,~ about 30 miles south of. Williamsburg.

Master Fitzerald Slaton, My precious boy:- Greenvill~Dec. 15-91Just one yr. ago this morning at 5 oc10ck, Grandpapa's house was filled with joy

unspeakable, as the news spread from room to room', "we have a boy". Aunties Carr andThusie could hardly wait and pot on their dresses before rushing in to see this won-derful babe who had.come to give us so moch happiness, to fill the old homestead withsuch sun shine as had not crossed it's threshold since your now proud father came andgladdened it. Auntie will not try and tell you how proud Papa and Mamma and Grandpaand Grandma were of the first born but what joy you brought to my heart. I loved youfirst - because i loved your dear papa and ~amma, second for ybur own tiny sweetlittle self. It.seemed so strange to know we had a baby at our house. It was some-thing new and sweet every morning and how eagerly did auntie watch for his first wak-ing movement, and what a longing to get back after I had stayed away a wk. To go homewas always the greatest joy of my'life - by now it was ten fold more sweet. Anq. asbaby grew how sweet when he would give us a smile when we talked to him, and oh howsweet were the many wonderful little baby ways that no other baby boy had but ours.How eagerly and tenderly and prayerfully would we watch, when our darling was suffer-ing so much. Yes we did not see how we could give our darling up, but God who gavehim to us has spared him one year. And aunties prayer is may he live many yrs. tobless this dear old home and us tho yrs.,come and go may he grow to youth and manhooda grand and useful man loved by all for the purity of his character, temperate hebi.t:«and christian uprightness. Gdd bless my baby boy Fitzgerald one yr. old! How Auntielongs to hold him to her heart this day and tell him how much he has thought of you.Grandma writes me that you can toddle every where. Tha-csa very smart boy indeed.Give my love to all and wzit:« me soon what you think about this big world after livinghere one big year. Write soon to your loving Auntie. .Tell me what Santa Claus is to bring you. Thusie (Ray or Roy) Pittman

THE GEt~EALOGICAl-'STGNIFICANCE OF CATTLE 'EARMARKSc J ._

From an article by ,Oliver D. Drake in, The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, "

Volume 20~ January 1945. .

One of the least known and most often neglected sources of genealogical data arethe early lists_ of cattle earmarks. The system of marking the ears of cattle and hogswas used in the early days much as cattle brands are employed in the West today -- asa registered means of identifying one's farm animals.

In olden times cattle were marked with various combinations of notches, slits,squares and "half-pennf es" which were cut in the edge of an animal's ear. Carefuldescriptions of the marks were recorded .in a town' book, together with the stock-owner'sname and date of registration. Finding the registration of a settler's'earmark,therefore, is almost always definite proof of his being located in the community at J.stated time. . '.

When an earmark was transferred from one owner to another, or passed down fromone generation to the other, the to\'Jnclerk often made a note to that effect, givingthe date of transfer and the namesot'the old and new owners. Since this occurredonly when an original owner died or, possibly, sold his cattle to someone else, therecords become of vital concern to the genealoqist.

Doubtless there are a great many of these' earmark lists scattered through thecolonial communities and are probably in the custody of town clerks, librariesi countyclerks, or historical societies and museums. It is the opinion of the. writer thatthese should always be consulted along with deeds, wills, mortgages and court recordsfa~genealogical gleanings.

NOTE: ~Jhile this article refets primarily to early or "co'lontal " lists,many areas throughout the country continued to keep 'such records -some in the late 1800's and perhaps later. County clerks wouldprobably know of.the existence of earmark lists.

(Nick Nickerson of HawthorneCarmunityr Leesburg has given us permission to reprinthis article.)

IDng before i Roots i became famotls in book form and then as a 'IV movi.e, I had startedtracing my wife Usgenealogy back through the ancient pages of old town records hereon t.l1ecape.

Onemight think that there is a great advantage to having written records to consultinstead of the word-of-mouth tracing that the author of iRoots' had to contend with.This isnit quite SOo One Cc1l1 do a little judicious interpreting of old wives tales,but the records of a sober town clerk (I trust he was saber) can~t be lightly disre-garded even whenyou suspect an error 0 Also there is an inherent ambiguity in themanner in whi.ch manyear'Iy entries VJero·made0

Prior to the mid 1800v Sf the tCMnclerks dutifully recorded marriages giving onlythe namesof the bride and groan with no reference to their parentaqe, The la.tteris very necessary in developing a genealogical line. Take for example, the recordedmc"1rriageof Thcm::l.sPaine to Thankful Cobb in 1705. If this looks like a. good start-ing placer forget ito The Paine family was a prcminent and prolific one and everygeneration had at least one Thcrnasin it. The Truro town records of these earlydays contain 61 entries concerning TlnrnasPaine and they are not all the sameperson.Oneparticular Thanas had a father y grandfather I great grandfather I and great,grandfather namedThcroas~not to mention a son and grandson of that name-= but youdonat knotqthat until you start digging 0

P...ow- do you find .fhe father and rrother of the Thanas Paine wh::>married Thankful Cobb?One clue is the marriage date. A.lnnst without exception, couples got married intheir early 20' sv' so you back track about; 20 years and possibly find his birth entryand thus hi.s parentage, or at least part of it. Birth entries give the fathers name

but only the given nameof the rrother, not the faTTlilyname, am that is what youneed. So ncM.you back track again. If you can fi11dthe complete list 'of the

r>. children of this fami.Iyi' you can deduce t.he prob:ilily marriage date fran the likli-bood that the first born child was born about a year after marriage. w1ithluckyou can then fim the marriage entry am thus the maiden nameof the YOO-trer--and you're ready 'to start all over again. '

The system doesn't ahlays work perfectly. The Jona~.n Cpllins i were about asprolific as the Thanas Pa.inea.. Using the backtracking method I ~und up with 0;0Jonathans born in t..~esametC1lIDwithin a WQek of each othar, Youhave to be areal Sherlock Holmesin these situations.Youalso have to be a little .careful. about, deducing marr.iaqe date frambirth ofthe first child. Sanetimes they're pretty close; am the blessed, event mighteven take place before the rr.arriage. Sane of these devotEd cOUpleswere' a littlefast out of the starting gate. Youmust rananl:)E:~rthese were Pilgrims, notPuritans.

Isaia.~ AtJrJ.nsJr. gave me a few headaches. I naturally asstmed he \OJaS the son ofIsaiah Sr. Unh-Unh. That didn't fit. Turns out that his brother Joshua \<1aS a 'little quicker in naIninghis own son Isaiah Jr ~, so Isaiah Sr. had to be content~ri.than also-ran Isaiah. r.1eaIitmleUncle Nathaniel also brought forth an Isaiahto add to the croed and I had to sort him out.'V1hat :is rrore fun fhan a ~rel ofIsai.c..1h's?' .

By the way,one of my ,Elizabeth Atkins' is missing. If you run across ber ,please let me kmw. She married Fulk Dyer in 1757, so presumably was born about1737.

That the Medal of Honor was first awarded, ("to both officers aridenlisted men) during the Civil War. At first~ the regulationsgoverning its award were rather vague. Because of this vaguenessand because there were no lesser medals, the Meda'l of Honor wasgiven out quite freely. Once President Lincoln promised one toevery man in a regiment who wou Id re-enlist. After the war,Congress reviewed ,the awards and cancelled 911 of the'2,438 medalsthat had been given out.That the first men who actuaily received the Medal of 'Honor werethe Union raiders who went behind Confeder:ate lines, captured atrain, and used it to try to wreck a Southern raiiroad.That during the Civil War two Medals of Honor were-awarded to 14-and ,IS-year old Union drUmmer boys for rescuing wounded comradesunder enemy fire. .That Mrs. A. Lincoln had three brothers killed fighting. for theConfederacy. And the president's sister-in-law was married to aConfederate brigadier, Benjamin Helm, of Kentucky. After Helm'sdeath at Chickamauga, the widow lived for several.months with theLincolns at the White House, wearing black in,me~ory of her "Rebll

husband.

THE IIWIlOII TERRITORY OF THE CENTR.l\l FLORIDt'~ LAKE REGIONIn a 1971 newspaperarticle~ recollections appeared of the late 19th CenturY9

water travel on the St. Johns River9 the railroad, and the countryside in general.It described the new country not yet developed, as a junction between the steamboat ~line and the railroad. Travelers coming down the St. Johns for the first time expect-ed to find paved streets9 blocks of stores, and even street cars;: but instead weregreeted by a dock, hotel, warehouse, fishing shanties, a shabby general store and ahuge cypress swamp.' . !

The view from the train rarely passed an inhabited area and, if it did, foundspectators in carts and wagons parked along the tracks to see their first train.They passed countryside of palmetto and gallberry growth, some areas where the soilwas too poor to even support pine trees, and the engineer had to be constantly alertfor herds of deer that would persist in running ahead of the train.After the first stop at Pittman the passengers could view their first orange grovesat Altoona9 then on to the beautiful lakes at Umatilla. At Fort Mason there was acheeri ng crowd to greet the first passenger train to ever make the tri p to the remoteparts of Central Florida -~ 140 miles south of Jacksonville.

The following letter is believed to have been written in the sameera and describes first-hand much of the areas mentioned above.
