Arrived in Ellensburg, WA yesterday (20th). Thanks much, but if it costs alot to send it, you can send it over the net if you want. Either that, or would you like to have more money for my newsletter to be sent here? Julie

Dear David, Am I owing dues? I have not gotten a newsletter in the mail in a couple of years. Maybe that list did not get my change of address. Or maybe I owe money. Thanks for your help.

These are my notes on my Sarah Byrd b. 1743 to John T. Byrd and Margaret Dean. If I come across anything more will try to let you know. Patricia Byrd Family From Debbie Malec's page Dec. 1996 Source: Annals of Bath County; The Families of Greater Bath, p.190. Sarah, born 1743, does not seem to have been carried away & choose John DEAN as a guardian. She could have been born in England I am listing this info just in case Shropshire, England, Extracted Parish Records about Sarah Bird Text: 26 Sep 1743 - [sic], d. of Sarah Bird, bap. Book: Burials, Wedd. & Christnings, (Burial) Collection: Shropshire: Shrewsbury - St. Mary Parish Registers, Lichfield Diocese -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Julie Steves Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 6:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HCGS] NEW MEMBER Dear Patricia, Actually, I'm not sure I do have any Birds/Byrds in my line. However, the reason I put that down is that I have a gut feeling that there possibly could be. My line goes back to William Robinson born 1743 and the possibility that he had a "first wife.". (somewhere I had read this in a published book, but I can't find where I got it). The line is on my Grandmother Bertha Birdie Sylvester's side, and one day I was teasing her about her middle name. She said, "it is a family name". No where in her linage can I find the name Birdie, or even Barbara or anything remotely similiar that she might have been named after. In her memoires, she states that her father related that his grandmother , at the age of twelve, was captured by the Indians, but she escaped by following a stream that she knew led to the Ohio River. One of my theories is that there is a Sarah Bird that was born the same year as William robinson (1743), lived and traveled in approx the same region of VA/WV and the forth child of Robinsons was named Sarah. Again, no other Sarah's are found in his ancestry that I've run across. All the other names he named the children are after his father, mother, brother etc., but no onther Sarah. My feeling is that he might have married Sarah Bird, ( whose family was captured by the Indians and ("Daughter Sarah seem not to have been captured") and she perhaps died or was killed and he remarried. Just a hypothisis, but I keep hoping I'll run across an earlier marriage for him. Thank you for your note.

thanks for the news letter i like it it was some what different and the last story can you image living as she did.

I received my newsletter today and sat right down and read every bit of it. Ted is really doing a good job of looking through all of those old papers. Very interesting newsletter. Thanks, Ruby

Thanks to all who stayed after last Sat. meeting to fold, label, and tape shut the newsletter. Special thanks to David who took care of the actual mailing of the newsletter. Received mine yesterday or today. Diana

Here is a query from our newest member and if anyone can help him it would be greatly appreciated I'm sure. He is Fred Baker and his e-mail address is : [email protected] He is not on the list but I will add him and then if he wants off I can unsub him. Thanks, Ruby Ruby, please save the effort of sending me a card; the likelihood I'll need to use the card is very low as it is not my intention to be visiting you-all. Rather, I wish to be able to access the group's collective knowledge to find out more about my great-grandmother, Edmonia Eugenia Budge ( ne Bartlett ) and her parents. There must be a story here but even the knowledgeable guy David Hochin cannot find it. Edmonia's parents, Eugen and Atalanta (Berkley) Bartlett lived in Clarksburg as per the 1860 census. He was well-to-do as his father James Bartlett owned the hotel next to the courthouse. Edmonia was born in 1862 but by 1870 was living with her aunt and uncle. Eugen and Atalanta were in their 30's so I assume some calamity befell them prior to 1870. What was it? Was there a fire in the hotel and they perished? Was there a plague? Was it the yankees (Eugen voted for secession)? Where are Eugen and Atalanta buried? There must be obituaries but I could not find them ... And then there is Eugenia ... Again in the 1880 census she is living with her aunt/uncle, but by 1885 she was married to Charleton Stevens Budge, was living in Cincinnati and had a child. Were they married in Clarksburg? How could she have met Charleton Budge who was an immigrant from Canada and who later worked for the National Biscuit Company - later Nabisco. Was there a Nabisco plant in/near Clarksburg? Because she was from a family of some means, even if she married out-of-town, there might have been a wedding announcement which would offer insite as to what was going on ... So Ruby, all I ask is the the above be posted wherever it is appropriate and I'll answer any questions the members might have... I have the marriage license of Eugen and Atalanta, the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census data should anyone want to have that detail. Thanks, Fred
