Hi all, I think I mailed every one direct who I have unfinished searches, but if I missed you, I will be off list and out of the area on business and then the holiday. I will not begin recieving list mail again until Nov 27. I will still receive direct e-mail but won't be able to give a prompt reply. Bye until then, HAPPY THANKSGIVING Steve

AHEAD OF HIS TIME Thomas Jefferson appears to have been ahead of his time with regard to vital records protection, just as he was in political thought, architecture, and other areas. The author of the Declaration of Independence, in a February 18, 1791 letter to Ebenezer Hazard said: "Time and accident are committing daily havoc on the originals deposited in our public offices... the lost cannot be recovered, but let us save what remains; not by vaults and locks which fence them from the public eye and use...but by such as multiplication of copies, as shall place them beyond the reach of accident." The concept of placing security copies of important and vital records in multiple locations to protect against disaster endures today. =========== exerpt from the Nevada Archives- http://dmla.clan.lib.nv.us/

Sharon, a good person to contact about the Cabezuts would be Delores Cabezut-Ortiz, if she is around. We were in touch last year about the Cabezut Family Reunion in Mariposa, but my emails were wiped out by a computer crash. Delores is a sort of cousin-by-marriage (through the Cabezuts) to my mother's cousin Ella SIMPSON (daughter of Katherine GOFF) and is the author of a history of Merced County. The book is out of print, but I was lucky enough to find one on eBay last year. There is one copy listed on www.abe.com for $45. Anyway, Delores might be able to throw some light on the Cabezut-Leonard connection if she is not too busy (working on a history of Mariposa County, I understand). Incidentally, there is a Simpson-Johnson connection in the 1870s, which possibly could be the same Johnson family as Mary (Marguerite) JOHNSON who married Frank Hooky WILSON (whose daughter Lizzie married Ed GOFF).

Hi! Katherine Ann GOFF was born in 1875, so if Ben SIMPSON was close to her age, he would have been born around that time and could have been a descendant of one of your Simpsons. Possibly he would show up in Census records? I think Ella SIMPSON married Ray CABEZUT and has descendants in Mariposa or Merced counties. Maybe some of the locals have information about the family tree?

Thanks for checking! It must have been one of my cousins (descendants of Aunt Kitty) who told me that Ben SIMPSON was California Indian. Maybe I will check with the tribal council and see if they have anything. ================================================== In a message dated 11/9/01 4:24:08 AM Pacific Standard Time, rubyslippers@kc.rr.com writes: > > I went through the database and there were no Simpsons ..I even ran a search > for a "Ben" and nothing. > > sorry > Sharon >

Hello Sheila & Joan, It's true, the chart I have doesn't list any information for John D. Simpson except estimated birth about 1856. Since the marriage (if confirmed) was in 1854, the family might still have been in Mariposa. Let us know, too, if you locate more about him and the possible connection.

Mel, I did a search of all postings on Camaripo since 1998 and I also did a search through all the old private emails received from you and there was nothing regarding Jesey Paer Allen naturalization I could find. Maybe the name rings because I "talked" about him so often? LOL Anyway...just wanted to let you know. Thank you for all the great data Sharon

Hi Joan, Doesn't look like your Simpsons are related to those we're seeking, according to the info that Judy posted on this Simpson family...unless the John D Simpson she listed, b.about 1856 could be the father of your Ben Simpson.

Hello, Cousin Kathy's materials list a marriage (without citing a source) on March 28, 1854 in Bear Valley, Mariposa County, California between Robert M. SIMPSON (b. Sept. 1823 in Maine) and Consipcion (Concepcion?) DEL GARDES (b. about 1826 in *Mexico* which may be Alta California and even Mariposa County -- source: her age on the 1860 Mariposa County Census and the 1870 Fresno County Census). Children from that marriage were: Louisa SIMPSON (b. about 1853) John D. SIMPSON (b. about 1856) Isabella SIMPSON (b.abt July 1856) abt 1898 married William TAYLOR (b. May 1850) src: 1900 Kings Co. census; later married _________ OLIVAS and had 3 children Alice SIMPSON (b. abt 1858 in Hornitos, Mariposa Co.) married Jose Ribas RIVAS on Oct.14, 1886 (2 children) Mary/Maria Louise SIMPSON (b. August 6, 1860 in Hornitas, Mariposa Co.) on Oct. 14, 1886 married Theodore ALVISO (b. Nov. 9, 1859) (11 children) Charlotte SIMPSON (b. abt 1863) _____________________________________ I don't think we have the actual record of that 1854 marriage in Bear Valley. As to Joan's posting, Robert SIMPSON was supposed to have been English, and his occupation was cabinet maker/ship builder according to my cousins. Judy

Hello Joan & Sheila, Yes, I also noticed the name SIMPSON, and wondered about the connection. I'm going to check cousin Kathy's materials and write back.

Hi, Mel! Good to hear from you (and your lists)! A thought about the hospital records -- anyone listed as born in California prior to 1850 is very likely Indian or Mexican so possibly of interest to Sharon and to my family. You did some searching for me before -- but if you happen to come across anyone named GOFF, NORTH STAR, BURNETT, HANSEN, WILSON, JOHNSON, SIMPSON, OLLRICH or CHIOTTI, those are all names in my Mariposa family and all of Indian descent (except for BURNETT and Frank S. GOFF , our Scottish-English gold miners who married Indian women). Thanks for all you do -- Joan in San Jose ========================================= In a message dated 11/7/01 1:50:26 PM Pacific Standard Time, clankelley1@earthlink.net writes: <snip>> > Regarding the hospital records. > There are no notes of Native Americans. > When a colored man or china man was admitted, that is noted beside his name, > other than that, there is just a country or state of birth. > > Mel > >
