Believe she and her mother Sarah Isabella (Birkett) McDonald owned and ran a market store in the Boulder County area. It may have started as the McDonald Grocery Company (c.1933) and evolved (or expanded) into the McDonald Fruit Market and may have been called the Save-More-Market by 1955. I think Sarah Isabella (Birkett) McDonald is the daughter of Robert & Sarah Isabella (Carlton) Birkett. Looking forward to exchanging information, David

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XY.2ADE/475 Message Board Post: I just stumbled on to a piece of information that has me stumped. Found (Thanks Karen) the Boulder County, Colorado Clerks Office site that has an index to their records. Quick outline - My family of Carltons came from Cumberland County, England in 1880. Thomas (1824-1892) & Jane (McClean/McLean)(1818-1891) Carlton had (in England): Sarah Isabella (1845-?) - last data 1851 census David (1848-1892)- emigrated to Colorado with father John Irving (1851-?)- remained in Cumberland Mary Jane (1853-1933)- emigrated to Colorado with father Stewart McLean (1856-1860)- died young in Cumberland Thomas's brother John (1838-1913) had already emigrated to Colorado. Thomas and son David owned a coal mine. In Dec 1891 Thomas's wife Jane died ; in Jan 1892 Thomas died ; and in June 1892 David died. What I just found was - filed in Boulder County, Colorado on 7 July 1892 John Irving Carlton and Sarah Isabel Birkett gave Power of Attorney to William Carlton. I'm certain that this was triggered by the 3 deaths in sudden sucession, and that they weren't "local", and therefore sure these are the 2 children who stayed in Cumberland. Quick check of Free BMD & IGI and saw nothing on a Carlton / Birkett marriage. Do not have a William Carlton in my data base alive in 1892 (although William was a name used often in my line). And would have to think he'd be "local". When rechecking files noted that in the 1880 U.S. Federal census John Carlton (brother of Thomas) had enumerated with him an Edward Hudson (1869-?) and a Hannah Hudson (1872-?) as nephew and neice. (His wife's maiden name was Campbell). And finally, during WWI, my Carltons traded letters with an "Aunt Bella" in Cumberland, who then forwarded to an Ann Pearson in Washington, D.C. who then forwarded to her daughter Annice Pearson in Chicago who then passed on to Jane Carlton (David's wife) in Colorado. HELP. Who were the husband Birkett, William Carlton, the Hudson children and the Pearsons ? Would be real nice to tie all these togeather. David

I'm at an online site which is the official Boulder County site. (Thank you for the heads up Karen; I know you were responding to the other person but I also wasn't aware of this site) It is an index to their records ; includes marriages, deeds, power of attorney, etc. There is one where the "document code" is "power of attorney" from one person to another. In a column titled "Legal" it has the notation "Remarks VULTURE LODE". This part of the family were coal miners so I'm sure "lode" references a mine. I understand deeds, quit claim deeds, mortgages, etc. But I don't quite see how power of attorney fits in for a specific piece of property.

The church is still very active and is one of the largest in Monroe, but is no longer a German Evangelical Church having become a UCC in the 1960's. They have very good records going back to about 1850. In my database I am using the surname Lellmer for Wilhamine, but most accounts say it is Zillmer. Sometimes in German handwriting scripts it is very hard to distinguish between an "L" and a "Z", but it looks more like an "L" to me. At some point in time it may have been changed which was a fairly common practice among Germans in the late 1800's. When I get the records from Dölitz scanned I will send them along.
