Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xY.2ADI/777.1.1 Message Board Post: I appreciate your response, but there is NO evidence to suggest she was buried in Van Buren, AR. It's known that her daughter, Miss Clara B. Eno returned to Van Buren alone at the age of 19, which would have been in 1873, long after the trek that her and her mother made to Connecticut at the outbreak of the Civil War in Arkansas. I have access to the sexton's record for Fairview Cemetery which dates back to 1846, and in particular it plainly denotes the burials on the Wallace-Ward plot there. There is no marker for Ellen Elizabeth Ward Eno there, or next to her husband Jonathan B. Eno. I would question the source of your info, but I do so appreciate your response. Please reply when and if you get the chance.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xY.2ADI/777 Message Board Post: am seeking info regarding Mrs. Ellen Elizabeth Ward Eno. She was married to Jonathan A. Eno, native of Broomfield, CT. Mrs. Eno, along with her daughter Clara B. Eno, returned to CT from Arkansas after the death of her husband at the outbreak of the War Between The States in November of 1862. It is presumed that Mrs. Ellen Elizabeth Ward Eno died after returning to CT. Her husband, and two daughters are buried in Fairview Cemetery here in Van Buren, Arkansas. I would like to know what cemetery Mrs. Eno is buried in, and if possible, procure a digital photo of her gravesite to help complete my research. I am more than willing to provide photos of the Eno's gravesites here. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

William R. Randall, I believe that is a 'PAF' file which is a database file for 'Personal Ancestral File', the genealogy program from the Latter Day Saints. The latest edition of this file is available at their website www.familysearch.org , for FREE ! If you have a high speed internet connection, it only takes a few seconds to download. The installation process is easy, too. I just downloaded the program, this morning and opened the Stowell.paf file, which I think is the one that you want to look at. Lots of Comstocks in it. When you get to the home page click 'Order/download Products' on the bar at the top of the page, then click 'Software Downloads - Free', then choose the top option - Personal Ancestral File 5.2.18.0 - Multi-Language (9.7 MB) and click the download button. They require you to fill out a registration with the normal questions on it, but you get the program that allows you to see the data you want. Actually, the program looks pretyy nice. Good Luck, Joe

Joseph Klaudi, Thank you very much, this is a very helpful suggestion and I will try it. I realized it was a LDS program, but did not realize it was available. and the price is right! William R.

Hi BW, No, there is no Olive Spencer or Jesse Bailey connection that I know of, but I think the William SPENCER that was born in 1812 and died in 1880 and is buried in Stonington CT's Evergreen Cemetery in front of my gg grandfather, Joseph Loomer THOMPSON, may have grown up in the Middletown area based on census that I have reviewed. Thanks for the help, Charlie King gg grandson of Joseph Loomer Thompson born 1821 someplace in CT died 1887 in No. Stonington CT BW wrote: Do you have info on Olive Spencer/Jesse Bailey their son (Erastus Bowen Bailey was born June 16,1819 and married Lydia Ann Wells Jun 28, 1840.

Linda, That is exactly why I do whole family type research. I don't know how they will fit together. I don't show my CHAPMAN line in Tolland. But, what I do have in CT is in Ashford. I might actually be looking at a totally different family name in Tolland and then see CHAPMAN and pull that information to do some documentation. Once I have a name on my list, I look for all the names on the list, no matter where I am researching.

Now, Martha, that would be too easy. I have already been in contact with the Clinton Historical Society and they mailed me what they had on Robert CARTER's line. There were no deeds included with the information. Our cousin, LeRoy, already gave me the absolute best gift possible--a copy of the 1924? CARTER reunion program and family history. It was a short manuscript with poems, history of the CARTER house, which is on the historical register there in Clinton, and some outline of the family tree. I will contact him directly. For me, the fun in this hobby is the "finding" part. Usually, when I research a family name, I have lists of various other families that are in my line and I research all at once. That is how I found myself copying most of the Clinton vital records--every page practically had at least one family member listed. Also, I like to browse the deeds looking for places where our ancestors witnessed a deed or is mentioned on adjoining property. This is the hobby that never dies because there is always new things to learn!

Janece, for Carter deeds in Killingworth (now Clinton)try Clinton Historical Society for help, c/o The Red Brick, E Main St. Clinton CT 06413. Although some documents will be in the Town Hall, Clinton. Also check w/our cousin, LeRoy Carter by snail mail or phone. He may have some copies of early documents.

Gail, The only William that I have in my SPENCER line is shown as b. 1656 and d. 1712. I come down from Gerard, Gerard, Thomas Lawrence, Thomas, Thomas and then Phebe b. 1741 d. 1809 who m. Deacon Benjamin CARTER. I don't have any other information on William. Sorry. I did not try to fill in the family if they were not direct line for me on this family. It was hard to get this far! Kelsey/Kelcey line is William, Daniel and then Jane b. 1699 d. 1762 who m. Deacon Benjamin CARTER. (Yes, two different Deacon Benjamins, which are father and son, Deacons in two different churches. The first one with the First Society in Killingworth, the second with the Baptist church.) There is also a Phebe CARTER (daughter of Benjamin & Phebe) b. 1761 d. 1818 that m. Ezra Kelsey b. 1761 d. 1847. They relocated to Whiting, Addison, Vermont. Ezra's parents were Ezra & Mary CLARK KELSEY. The last Kelsey line I have is Ella Maria SNOW b. 1856 d. Aft 1880 daughter of Arthur and Lucy Minerva WRIGHT SNOW who m. Joseph Dudley KELSEY b. Abt. 1857 d. Aft 1880. Joseph was the son of Francis A. and Elizabeth KELSEY. That pretty much is it on my KELSEY line. Any of these ring bells with you?

Jenece, my ggrmother's first husband was William A. Spencer from Chester, Middlesex. She died young and grampa was taken in by his half-brother. They lived in New Haven. Mary H. Webb's 2nd husband was Charles Robin, from Scotland. Does this tie into your Spencers? (There's also another line married into my Ensign ancestors in the Hartford/East Hartford area). I also have a vague connection with the Kelsey line, and one of the decendants happens to own a winter home next door to me. Gail
