-

These are the January birthdays recorded in Mary Jane Kellam's (1874-1944) birthday book 



January 1, 1847 - Henriettia A Buckley - Middletown, NY

Henrietta A. Crandall born 1 January 1847 in Bainbridge, Chenango County, New York, daughter of Orasums Crandall (1808-1869) and Betsey Ann Carroll (1809-1876). She married Chauncey E Tolles (1831-1880) and  Frank Buckley (1840-1917) in 1886. She died 29 May 1912 in Middletown, Orange County, New York. 



January 4 - Janet A Lindsay - West Pittston, PA

Janet Anderson Lindsay was born 4 January 1875 in Pittston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, the daughter of  James Lindsay and Margaret Schultz (1849-1919). She married Stanley Turrell Glidden (1874-1938) in 1910. She died on 9 November 1921 in West Pittston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. 




January 11 - Mary C Marx - Andes, NY

Mary C Marx was born 11 January 1869, the daughter of Simon Marx (1832-1907) and Sarah Hawver (1838-1912). She died unmarried on 19 April 1957. She appears to have lived in Andes, Delaware County, New York her entire life. 

January 12, 1847 - C.M. Hill, Binghampton, NY

I have not been able to identify C.M. Hill


January 14, 1874 - W.M. Burwell, Montrose, PA, died 1892

I have not been able to identify W.M. Burwell

January 15 - Herbert McCabe, Andes, NY, Hattie Bruce, Andes, NY, Terence W. Gilbert, Auburn, NY

Herbert Robert McCabe was born 15 January 1875, possibly the son of Levi B. McCabe (1838-1888) and Sarah C Shaver (1832-1900). In 1892, Sarah McCabe was living in Andes, Delaware County, New York, with Lena born about 1873 and Herbert born about 1875. Herbert Robert McCabe's World War I draft registration shows him born on 15 January 1875, with his closest relative Helena McCabe of Kingston, New York. If he was the son of Levi McCabe and Sarah Shaver, then he was Mary Jane Kellam's maternal first cousin. I have found no documentation confirming the hypothesis that Herbert McCabe was Levi McCabe's son. 

Hattie Bruce - Harriet "Hattie" Bell Bruce was born 15 January 1871, the daughter of James Bruce (1831-1912) and  Mary Linn (1830-1907). Census records have the family in Andes, Delaware County, New York through 1940. Hattie married Albert Armstrong (1871-1939) in 1906. She died on 20 September 1954 in Margaretville, Delaware County, New York. 

Terence W Gilbert was born 15 January 1882 in New York, the son of Almeron Gilbert (1855-????) and Mary Ward (1860-1929). He lived in Auburn, Cayuga County, New York from at least 1926 - 1940, working as a florist. He died on 4 June 1941 Mary Jane Kellam and her husband William Lucas Hankins lived in Auburn for many years. 


January 17 - Laura Schiyver - Brunswick, Ga, Grace Tiffany, Hop Bottom, Pa

I have not been able to idenitify Laura Schiyver 

Grace Pearl Tiffany was born 17 January 1875 in Hop Bottom, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Edson Manning Tiffany (1841-1912) and Mary Elizabeth Miles (1845-1888). She married Edwin W Merrill (1870-1918) in 1895. She died on 29 October 1934 in Binghamton, Broome County, New York.

Alexander Clark Kellam was born 23 January 1836 in Manchester, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, the son of John Kellam (1787-1874) and Jane Ross (1801-1856). He married Julia Augusta Niles (1837-1920) in 1870. Alexander died on 16 March 1914, Ridgeway, Elk County, Pennsylvania. He was the younger brother of John Ross Kellam, Mary Jane Kellam's father. 

I haven't been able to identify Marr Joal


January 26 - Aunt Fanny Shafer, Kingston, NY

Aunt Fanny Shafer is probably Jane Frances Cornell born 26 January 1837 in New York. She married Colonel Benedict Shafer (1827-1909), uncle of Mary Jane Kellam in 1859. She died on October 18, 1900 in Kingston, Ulster County, New York. Of Mary Jane Kellam's Shafer Aunts - only Jane Frances Cornell has a name that might be abbreviated as Fanny, the only one born in January, and she lived in Kingston, New York. 


January 30 - Harriet M. Bogenrief, Mifflinburg, Pa

Harriet Bogenrief was born 30 January 1875 in Mifflinburg, Union County, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Thomas Bogenrief (1844-1925) and Mary Meyes (1844-????). She married John Calvin Prettyleaf (1880-1943). She died on 18 August 1960 in Elizabethtown, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Long Line - From England to the United States - Week 3 of #52Ancestors

-

This week's prompt for  Amy Johnson Crow's 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks project  is Long Line. I had a couple of ideas for this week and finally settled on the long line of extended Call and Joslin family members who immigrated from Devonshire to the United States between the 1830s and early 1900s.  I have to wonder if in 1851 when my great great grandparents Robert Call and Charlotte Joslin were both servants on the farm of Robert Reed in Chawleigh, Devonshire, England if they had any idea how many members of their extended families would immigrate to the United States.  As far as anyone knows, Robert and Charlotte met at the Reed farm. Within two years of the 1851 census, Robert had immigrated to the Boston, Massachusetts area. A year later, Charlotte followed and they were married in Fitchburg, Massachusetts on July 16, 1854.  1835 The first member of Robert's family to immigrate that I've identified was his maternal uncle William Paine .

Charles Joslin Call's Business Ventures in Wichita, Sedgewick County, Kansas, 1889-1895

My great grandfather, Charles Joslin Call (1859-1939), lived in Stafford, Genesee County, New York for most of his life, except for a few years when he and his family lived in Wichita, Sedgewick County, Kansas. I’ve always been curious about the family’s Kansas years, since my grandmother, Evelyn Clara Call (1895-1962) was one of four children born to Charles and his wife Elizabeth Ann Coe (1862-1956) in Wichita. Like many other families, the Call family went west in search of greater economic opportunities. According to Elizabeth, “In the Spring of ’89 Papa [Charles] went West to find a business to engage in. He went to Denver where Uncle Frank and Aunt Sarah were, but decided to go to Wichita and locate. We were very happy there, but business did not pay. We went Apr. 17, 1889, arriving the 19”. 1 Charles’s first business venture in Wichita was with the Wichita Steam Pipe Covering company. On 6 April 1889, C.J. Call of Stafford, New York was listed in a newspaper article as one of...

So Far Away - Christmas Day 1887, Somewhere on the Atlantic - Week 5 of #52Ancestors

-
Image
I can't imagine what Christmas Day was like for my great-grandfather Wilhelm Friedrich Georg Schickler in 1887. What I do know is that he was 14 years old. His parents were dead.  He was on the ship Rotterdam a day out of the port of New York. And that he was traveling alone to a new life. Was he thinking of his family so far away in Stuttgart? Was he wondering how his younger brother Georg - his only living sibling - left behind in Stuttgart with their grandparents was doing? Was he remembering his father and five siblings who had died in recent years? Was he thinking about his mother who had died just a month ago on November 24? Or did he see the Statue of Liberty as his ship arrived? Was he looking forward to a new life with his mother's sister and her husband? Wilhelm was born on November 6, 1873 in Ludwigsburg, Wurttemberg, Germany, the son of Gottlieb Wilhelm Schickler (1848-1885) and Marie Frederike Haufler (1846-1887). He was baptized on November 23 1873. His pa...
