My great-grandmother was Ida May Fleetwood and I have been trying to track her family. She and her sister Minnie are buried in the Milford I.O.O.F. Cemetery; her brother Harry Benjamin (known as "Mike") is buried in the Blades Cemetery. The census lists show a lot of Fleetwood children living with people who do not share their family name, so I think there must have been at least one Fleetwood family crisis/tragedy. I'm beginning to think my Fleetwoods may have been among those children! (No proof of that one way or the other -- just frustration at not being able to knock down a wall!) This is all of the information, such as it is, that I have so far. Can anyone out there make a connection? The following information will begin with the most recent Fleetwoods I have information about and move back. KATHRYN "KITTY" FLEETWOOD, b. Nov. 28, 1920, DE; d. May 23, 2001, TX. On March 30, 1946, in Claymont, New Castle Co., DE, she married ROBERT "BOB" STAIR, b. Jan. 2, 1914, d. Nov. 7, 1992, Wilmington, New Castle Co., DE. They had four children, all living. Kathryn's father was HARRY BENJAMIN FLEETWOOD who was always known as "MIKE." He told his grandchildren, his great-nieces and nephew, and his great-niece that he did not know where he got that nickname. He simply always had it. Harry (Uncle Mike) was the brother of my great-grandmother who died five years before I was born. My parents' family Bible has seven children listed for this family. I only remember Uncle Mike and Aunt Minnie. This is the information I have on this family unit beginning with my great-grandmother. IDA MAY FLEETWOOD, b. 12-6-1880, Milford, DE, d. 5-29-1943, Milford, Sussex Co., DE, bur. I.O.O.F. Cemetery, Milford, Kent Co., DE. On Dec. 26, 1897, in Milford, DE, she married GEORGE JOSEPH STILL, b. 9-22-1873, DE, d. 7-21-1952, Milford, Sussex Co., DE. They had two children (JENNIE MINERVA STILL and GERTRUDE MAY STILL). Gertrude died in her early 20s having born one child, ROSE MARIE ARTIST STILLE (father: ARTHUR STILLE) who also died young. Marie was unmarried and had no children -- both mother and daughter died of TB. Jennie married COURTLAND "CLARKIE" EARL CLARKE and had one child, my mother GERTRUDE "TRUDY" MARIE CLARKE. She and my father had four children, all living. MINNIE FLEETWOOD (may have been MINERVA since my grandmother Jennie Minerva was named after her) b. 4-17-1884, DE, d. 7-21-1955, Milford, Sussex Co., DE, bur. I.O.O.F. Cemetery, Milford, Kent Co., DE. She married HARRY LEE HILL, b. 8-14-1882, DE, d. 3-7-1955, Milford, Sussex Co., DE, bur. I.O.O.F. Cemetery, Milford, Kent Co., DE. They had two children HARRY LEE HILL and MYRTLE MAY HILL. Harry had one child, still living. Myrtle had two children, one living. HARRY BENJAMIN "MIKE" FLEETWOOD, b. 5-23-1891, prob. Milford, DE, d. 1-17-1968, prob. Blades, Sussex Co., DE., bur. Blades Cemetery, Blades, Sussex Co., DE. On March 13, 1920, in the Asbury M.E. parsonage in Wilmington, New Castle Co., DE, he married ORA PAGE ELLIOTT, b. 1900, prob. PA, maybe Marcus Hook, d. 1958, bur. Blades Cemetery, Blades, Sussex Co., DE. The following siblings of Ida May, Minnie, and Harry ("Mike") are listed in my parents' family Bible. I know nothing about any of them except their names: WILLIAM FLEETWOOD JAMES FLEETWOOD GEORGE FLEETWOOD MARY E. FLEETWOOD IDA MAY FLEETWOOD's death certificate lists her parents' names as: JEHAMARA FLEETWOOD, b. MD, and SUSAN C. SCOTT, b. DE. My parents' family Bible lists IDA MAY's parents as CURTIS FLEETWOOD and SUSAN SCOTT. Perhaps his full name was JEHAMARA CURTIS FLEETWOOD? I have not yet had the opportunity to travel to Delaware to try to locate the death certificates of MINNIE (FLEETWOOD) HILL or HARRY BENJAMIN FLEETWOOD to see what name is given for their father on their certificates. There are a number of CURTIS FLEETWOODs listed in the census lists for Kent and Sussex Co., DE, in the Milford area and other towns south of Milford. I have not found all of these census records yet, but, so far, I don't think (but am not certain) that any of the CURTIS FLEETWOODs I have located in the census lists could be the father of IDA MAY, MINNIE, HARRY BENJAMIN, WILLIAM, JAMES, GEORGE, and MARY E. When I went to the Blades Cemetery on my last trip east to photograph my Uncle Mike's (Harry Benjamin) and Aunt Ora's tombstones, I found quite a few other FLEETWOODS buried in that same small cemetery. One of them was a MARY E. FLEETWOOD. I do not know if she is the sister of my great-grandmother. If I can ever figure out how to free my new digital camera photographs from the camera by loading them into my computer, I will see how many of the names I can read and will be glad to send those legible names to anyone who requests them. Can anyone make any connections to these FLEETWOODs? Karen Carter Sandy, UT
