I am looking for any information on Mahlon Wisecup of Ohio. There are no records of his birth, children, marriage, or his execution. That is the rumor in the family, he was executed in Columbus, Ohio around 1949 for murdering a gentleman after robbing him of $7.00. The whole thing is a mystery because there are no records that I can find. I know his wife and children lived around Carmel Ohio, Highland county, and I believe, Blount township.

Write to the Ohio State Penitentiaryary office in Washington Courthouse, Ohio--probably don't even need a street address. They may still have some records. I found out about a grandfather that was in their system from the 1930's to the 1950's. They gave me copies of the indictments even.

Thanks Again Diana Gee! But it is sure great to have your support. We all need help at one point in this Genealogy World and I really appreciate all you are doing for me. I hope that you have a Great Time while you are at your daughters. Your friend was so helpful last night when I talked to him. It is Great to know that even people who are not connected can be so understanding and willing to help. However, If you run across the name, do matter whether F or M write down any information (in the event I do not get a GOOD connection on this one) and it might prove to be an asset in the future. I do not know how I can thank you for this Great Information, Pat

Hi Pat, Keep trying. It is possible that she is on vacation. I gather that there is no answering machine. I thought everyone had one. Do you think she would know anything about the Sacramento connection? Did you get an address? Maybe you could send a letter if you don't get her on the phone. Keep me posted. I can check my email from my daughter's and will send you anything I can find in Sacramento. Diana

Help, some one asked me for Glen Dubois. bd 1960 + or - 5 years I have the address. We found him! Please E mail me for reply. Your E mail is not working. Lady Patricia

Happy for you !!!! Hope the connection is a good one. :) Lady Patricia ----- Original Message ----- From: <PNUTREG@cs.com> To: <GEN-UNSOLVED-MYSTERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 8:30 PM Subject: Re: Weedmark/Weidmark/Wedmark/Widmark > Hi Diana > He said he had not heard from Robert or his wife Shelley (the one he knew the > most) in several years, but he remembered the daughter of Robert.

Hi Diana Still up But I think that I will have to get to bed. It is almost One and I have been up since 5 this morning. Can't get an answer, but I sure I will within the next 24 Hrs. Gee I hope she is nice and will cooperate with me and believe me that I am her fathers cousin. I can tell her where he went to school, where he was born and his father's name and everything. If she will contact him, he will remember me. We got along very well when he was young and came to the Farm up in NYS. I can hardly wait. I have to work at the Genealogy Room tomorrow and I have (3) people coming to see me that I have done some work for so I have to be there. Sometimes mine is the last I work on. Saturday Morning I have to teach workshop for the Gen Society. So I keep pretty busy. Will Be In Touch Pat

Pat (Sleepless in Florida?), I check my email from work frequently, so will be on the look out - or you can call me. This proves my theory that you never burn bridges. You never know when you will need to cross it again. Diana

Hi Diana He said he had not heard from Robert or his wife Shelley (the one he knew the most) in several years, but he remembered the daughter of Robert. He gave me her phone # and she lives in Concord Ca. Wouldn't you know it I didn't get an answer.Probably not there from her work yet. But I am going to try it again. Boy! At least I am getting somewhere. This is GREAT! At least I know I have a connection. I'll Surely let you know the Minute I get his daughter and find out his address or phone # or Email. Pat

Pat, I know how excited I was...I can only guess how you must feel!!! I tried calling Saverio today at his office but he was out. I left him a voice mail telling him that you might call. I'd try calling his house. He is married (I think he's still married) so you might get his wife. Leave your phone number, he'll probably call you back. I'll be online for awhile, so let me know what happens. Diana

Diana I think I just lost your message. Maybe you will get it. I am so excited I don't know what I am doing. Wow! I still Can not believe it. I had already gone to bed as I got up Early 5:30 AM ( its a 3 Hr 1 way to Miami) to leave to go to Miami to do Research today. I cannot believe this. Are you sure it is for real?? I just got home at 9PM and found your message. Didn't even do my Email this morning. It would be 6 PM if your friend is is CA do you think it is too early to call him at home. Let me Know. I'll call and I'm so excited I cannot believe it. Pat

Margrett, My grandmother had been told by Ellen DAVEY that she had run away from home, and I'm pretty sure that's what happened, but Ellen never revealed why. She was certainly young, far too young for parents to send to the antipodes. She had to lie about her age to get on the ship, because they did not take single people under 18. I don't think she knew the PEETs before the voyage. She told my grandmother she had fallen in love with young Frederick on the trip, but had married Richard when they arrived, perhaps because he was older and better protection. We don't know why the PEET brothers ran away either; surely they would have had a good life in London ... but there are many intriguing enigmas in the PEET family. It seems Richard PEET may have been back in touch with his family in later years, but tragically it seems poor Frederick, his younger brother, died young (aged 26) in Sydney from a lung disease, and it appears he had never had contact with his family again. Ironically his father Charles Septimus PEET, after spending 6 years in America and marrying off most of his remaining children, and then another couple of years back in London, had come to Australia bringing his wife and youngest daughter Jane Virginia (who married and stayed in Australia). After making huge fortunes as a silk merchant, resort owner and banker, Charles seemed to have got greedy and came out to find gold! Or perhaps it was just his adventuring spirit ... he is said to have been a friend of Charles Dickens and the Mr Pickwick character is supposed to be loosely based on him:) Anyway, while he was seeking his fortune in gold, his wife, mother of his 14 children, died of dysentery on the Bathurst goldfields. At the same time, not far away in Sydney, their son Fred, seemingly unknown to the rest of the family, was dying alone in Sydney Infirmary. I don't think the family ever knew what became of Fred ... in fact I may have been the first to find out. I shed a little tear when I saw his death and burial certificates. Through the help of Rootsweb and other great "connectors" several of the descendants of Charles Septimus PEET's 14 children are now in touch, piecing together what happened to all the different siblings on three continents who lost touch with each other way back then. It's great. We've found letters from one sibling to another, and some great old family heirlooms and photographs, and have been able to piece a lot together. Charles Septimus returned to London after his wife's death, then migrated to St Louis Missouri with his eldest daughter Ann and her family (BROWN) in 1866. We don't know why they went there. He died there shortly after, in 1868. The year before, one of his sons in NY state had fathered a child by the maid, murdered his wife, escaped from jail, been recaptured in Canada, and committed suicide by slitting his own throat!! ... but that's another mysterious story! I just wish I could get further with Ellen's identity ... this mystery intrigued my grandmother too, and she tried to find out more about it when she went to England in 1920 ... but to no avail. These are big mysteries which have been in the family for generations. When I first started contacting PEET descendants last year we reunited parts of the family who had never been back in touch since Richard and Fred ran away in 1849, and it felt quite touching and significant, because my ancestors from previous generations who were much closer to these people had been trying to find them without success. Some of the US PEET descendants had stories written down that Charles Septimus and family had gone to US "in search of a lost son", but their bibles only had about half the siblings listed ... like they didn't exist anymore, with the exception of one complete list of names/DOBs from a US family record, which tallied perfectly with another list in Richard PEET's bible in Australia. Finding Ellen's real family would feel like things being put right again. Sorry about the length of this. Margrett, I wish you luck with your John WILLIFORD ... another darn good mystery!

Pat, You are not going to believe this. My friend posted me just after your post. HERE IT IS!!!!! YES, I AM SHOUTING AT YOU!!! Do you want to call or do you want me to? I know Saverio, so if you want to call him you can mention my name. My friend's name is Tom. If you are still checking messages, it is 8:40pm west coast time so not too late to call. I'll be online for another 20 minutes. Let me know. I am so excited, I can hardly type. Diana-I talked to Saverio and he knew the guy. Also he knew his wife and her sister. Saverio said to call him and he will get any info for you. His work number is (925)937-4880 and home is 925/671-2027. Hope this helps. Love, Me

Hi Diana Really appreciate your help. I sure hope that we get a break on this one. I have been looking for over 7 years to no avail and I sure would like to get in contact with him again. I am doing Genealogy and perhaps he or his children would be interested in what I have found. Will be Waiting in Hope Pat

Ruth, What a fantastic story. Poor Ellen, I always thought Genealogy was a logic puzzle, and you sure seem to have covered all the possibilities. I have learned we always give clues when we try to deceive. and the naming of her son was a big clue. The people of long ago followed such a tradition in naming children it was hard to break from. Our ancestors were strong people and what it must have taken for this young girl to do what she did, I wonder also if she maybe didn't really run away but with the parents knowledge did leave her home land for better things. Good luck to you, I wish I could suggest another avenue but you have done well. I also have a Miller line I can not trace to far back.

Pat, I just sent an email to my friend in the Walnut Creek area. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything. I asked him if his friend knew of a way to search for Robert. I'm going to my daughter's in Sacramento Friday night and will check her phone book. I'll be back home Tuesday night and will let you know on Wednesday what I find out. Wish me luck. Diana

To Pat, I'm not sure about all libraries. You would have to call your local .Shirley

Because Margrett's mystery includes a change of name/identity, it has reminded me of one of my family mysteries. I've shared it with you before, but it's been awhile so I might give it another whirl in case someone has a good idea I can pursue. My 2g grandparents Richard PEET and Ellen DAVEY met on the ship to Australia in 1849 when they were both running away from home in England. Richard (18) and his younger brother Frederick (16) abandoned their well-off silk manufacturing/banking family based in Derby, Manchester and London. The rest of the PEET family actually uprooted to go looking for them, but figured they had gone to America (NY state) where two sons had already settled ... and did not find them! There are quite a few intriguing mysteries associated with the PEET family, but the mystery which concerns me here is regarding Ellen DAVEY. (Also spelt DAVY.) My grandmother (whose information has always proved very reliable) told me decades ago that Ellen had forged her parents' signatures to migrate under the Bounty Immigrants' scheme, and was only 14 when she and Richard married in January 1850. They had settled in the area where the gold rush took place only two years later, and were thus perfectly placed to "cash in", which they did by making and selling gold cradles (for panning). Their first two children (who died as infants) were named after two of Richard PEET's siblings, Jane Virginia and Frederick. The next child was the first of their 10 children who survived childhood. He was named John Edleston PEET. Most of the later children were named after other PEET family members, but the origins of this "John Edleston" name is a mystery ... we know quite a bit about the PEET history going back a couple more generations and there is no sign of any John in our line or any family name EDLESTON, so I assume this name must have come from Ellen DAVEY's side of the family. All we know about Ellen DAVEY is what she herself said. As far as we know, she never had any contact with her family again. She said she came from Exeter, Devon, her date of birth was 8 April 1835, and that her parents' names were George and Sarah. If she was trying to change her identity because she did not want to be found, she may have used a false name, and DAVEY is one of the most common Devon names. It might be hard to hide where she came from, because she would have had the local accent and been familiar with Exeter, and may have been caught out if she said she came from elsewhere. The birth date is suspicious because it is her husband's birthday, but four years later. If she used a false birth date, a convenient way to remember it would be to use her husband's. I have a cousin from another part of my tree living in Devon, and he kindly offered to look up DAVEY families in the 1841 and 1851 Devon census. He found families with parents George and Sarah, but none in Exeter and no Ellen of the right age. There was a family who had a daughter called Lavinia who could have been Ellen, but then he found her in the 1851 census working as a laundress in a nearby town. There were some Ellen DAVEYs but none exactly the right age, and their parents were not George and Sarah. The closest one had parents William and Agnes and did not live in Exeter, and I think she turned up in the 1851 census anyway, so she could not have run away to Australia. So a total blank on finding any Ellen DAVEY of the right age who disappeared between those two censuses. I had been looking for months for links with any EDLESTON families with PEET or DAVEY. The EDLESTON name seemed mainly to occur in the mid to northern parts of England, more around the area the PEETs originated. There is an EDDLESTONE village in Derbyshire, and an EDDLESTON in the Scottish borderland area. But I could still find no mention in connection with the PEETs. There were no EDLESTONs at all in Devon ... BUT then I came across an EDELSTEIN family living in Exeter! Solomon John William EDELSTEIN was a (probably Latvian or German) Jew living in Exeter, married to a Sarah BAKER, who converted to Christianity in an adult baptism on 23 Mar 1837 (C052571), probably adopting the names John and William at that time. According to an 1850 trade directory he was a tobacconist and a tea and grocery dealer. His family is mentioned on the Exeter Synagogue website where they have Jewish Exeter families from the 1841, 1851 and 1861 censuses listed. They are only listed for 1841, and seem to have disappeared by 1851. [HO 107/267/4/p.17] 6 June 1841 Census Preston Street, Exeter E4/19 Edelstein, Solomon 25 Devon E4/20 Edelstein, Sarah 25 Devon E4/21 Edelstein, Emely 5 Devon ****** Ellen Davey? E4/22 Edelstein, Jane 3 Devon E4/23 Edelstein, John 2 Devon E4/24 Edelstein, William 6 months Devon (plus Cornet, Ann, female servant) In the IGI I have also found the marriage, and baptisms for Emily (June 1836) and Jane Catherine Mary, as well as baptisms for two children Rebecca and Charlotte born after the 1841 census. One of these children had "G W J EDELSTEIN" listed as her father (G is possibly George, or possibly a mistake for "S"). Many European Jews apparently settled in Exeter for a time in that period, sometimes starting a family, before migrating to the new world. And it's in the new world they turn up ... probably in 1851. The whole family seems to have migrated to Jersey City, Hudson NJ USA. I found marriages in Jersey City Hudson New Jersey for Charlotte Edelston (1861 - age 19) Rebecca Edelstein (1863 - 19. Named one child John Edelstein Fairbanks) John Edelstein (1862 - 24). Also found out he served in the Civil War ... and a child Emily Sarah born 1862 to William Edelstein/Fredeline (also NJ - William age 21). They are definitely the same family. Certification on John say he was born in Exeter Devon England, and gives his parents' names. There is no sign of Emily or Jane EDELSTEIN marrying or having children in NJ or elsewhere in USA however. I could be having complete fantasies, but here is a family from Exeter Devon with a daughter Emily just on the young side of the right age to be my 2g grandmother, who doesn't seem to have gone to NJ with her family. The mother's name is Sarah, and the father has a distinctive name you wouldn't mention if you were trying to hide your identity ... but George could have been one of the "English" names he adopted. Emily has a brother called "John EDELSTEIN", and her father may have gone by that name after his "conversion" too ... the source of the name for John Edleston PEET? If she had named a child after her father or brother she would have been unlikely to use the Jewish/European spelling which could also have attracted attention in her new family context. If Ellen DAVEY was Emily EDELSTEIN, she was probably only 13 when she ran away, and may have been barely 14, but probably still 13, when she married my 2g grandfather. I'd say being so young in this situation she may have adopted a false birth date to appear a few months older as well as to help keep her real identity hidden. This family seems to fit Ellen DAVEY's profile very well, whereas no DAVEY family seems anywhere near it, and it would also explain the EDLESTON name's mysterious appearance in her child's name. What do you think of this hypothesis? Too outrageous? I have been putting out alerts for any descendants of those NJ EDELSTEINs, as I thought someone may have the family legend of a young girl going missing .. but none have contacted me. The only other thing I can think of is to pay a researcher to look up Exeter newspapers of around the time of Ellen's disppearance (between about June and Sept 1849), in case there is a "missing person" report which mentions her name. That's unless any of you have any other suggestions ... Thanks for reading if you got this far ... !! Ruth

I have listed about all I have on him. Which is good considering what I had to begin with just a name, no time frame, I can not say this is my ancestor. I had a name John Williford, that committed a crime, changed his name to Mann, that was it: I found the court papers, about A- John Williford (that I have explained) is this my John Williford? I don't know... Did he change his name to Mann? I don't know. Was John Williford later captured and paid for his crime? I don't know. Did he keep his name and marry and got be my ancestor? I don't know.
