This came across from another list and thought it contained info we could all use. ~gina~ Last week I noted the following entries in the "History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset."  The three entries are found together in Vol. II, on p. 805 and are placed in an isolated listing with the title "The Register of Marriages begins 1539."  These are transcripts from the Piddlehinton, Dorset marriage register.  The entries are: Mr. Robert Swain and Mrs. Eleanor Churchill . . .  1656 Mr. Henry Churchill and Mrs. Hannah Galler  . . .  1661 Mr. Henry Churchill and Mrs. Elizabeth Cheek . . . 1682 I have seen the Henry and Galler/Cheek marriages from other sources but without the use of Mr. for Henry.  I had always assumed that the use of Mrs. simply indicated that Henry had married widows.  However, I knew that this Eleanor Churchill was unmarried, so the use of Mistress for Eleanor could not be an indicator of her marital status. After a bit of research and confirming queries from individuals knowledgeable on the subject, I discovered the true meaning of the above entries.  So others don't jump to the same conclusions I initially made, here is the meaning of the entries. In the 17th and 18th century Mrs. (a contraction of Mistress) was a prefix used ONLY for unmarried ladies or girls.  It was equivalent to the modern use of MISS but was applied only to gentlewomen, that is to say women of gentry class. The Oxford dictionary says about the use of Mrs: " . . . Originally distinctive of a gentlewomen, the use of the prefix has gradually extended downwards; at the present time, every married woman who has no superior title is styled 'Mrs.' even though her husband is of so humble a position as not ordinarily to be referred to as 'Mr.'. . . " The use of Mr. indicates gentry status for the men.  Mr places them at the social level immediately below a titled individual and generally tells you they were not titled -- but I understand that Mr could be applied to a knight. The consensus from my queries is that John Hutchins, the author of the "History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset" extracted the above three marriage entries and placed them in an isolated grouping simply to emphasize that the families were prominent.  A distinction that escapes us today. The actual individual parish marriage entries would have been written over time by (probably) the rector(s).  In their use of Mr. and Mrs. the rectors were saying about each couple that they were of gentry class and that the women were never previously married.  This intended information about the martial status of the women is in stark contrast to our modern interpretation which is that all three women were previously married.

I have received the Record of Funeral for Andrew Jackson Still....the date of death on the record is Jan. 12, 1929. Date of birth says June 24, 1857 but most Still lists say that Martha E. was born Oct. 1857, so ?? I will list the names that were on the bottom of the paper as family, and what I have hooked up to other researcher's info. Perhaps someone will be able to see if I'm on base with my deductions? Mrs L. E. Lovell...she is my great grandmother Lucinda Elizabeth Still and married Samuel Martin Lovell. I have their records, also. Mrs W. E. White (Green Forest, AR) who is Nancy Jane Still married to Walter Edward white Mrs F M Bell (Cushing, OK) is Mary Still married to Frank Bell (had other husbands after him) Mrs L. L. White (?) is Florence Still married to Lloyd White W. D. Still (?) who is Daniel Still Jim Still (Alpena, AR) who is James Still H. C. Still (Maricopa, CA) who is Henry Still. The (?) means I couldn't read the name of the place that was after their name. I checked some of the Still lists etc. to find the complete names. I'm still looking for the names of the children of Lucinda Still and Samuel Lovell... Does anyone have any info on Andrew's wife, Melinda Rose Wilson? Thanks for all previous help and any following....Ms Willie Moore

Hi- I have part of an article called " Conditions on Richland Creek when the Robertsons arrived in the early 1830's" as told by Joseph Carroll Kilburn. I have just one page. I was wondering if anyone had the complete article. I have the same problem with a biography of Noble McBride from Goodspeeds "Reminisent History of the Ozark Region. I'm missing the second page of this article that tells me about Nobel's wife Elizabeth and where she was residing at the time of his death. I would appreciate any help I could get. Am happy to share all information I do have. The rest of the "Kilburn Papers" basically covers descendents of the Kilburns, Robertsons, Bowdens, Brewers and related families who came to Searcy Co. Ark during the period 1830-1860. Thanks, Carol Kinney descendant of Jameson, Rea, & Robertson's of Searcy Co.
