Regarding the diary..is there any mention of Micajah Thompson in the Table Mound area. I believe he moved there in the 1840's and lived there until his death in March 1870. His first wife's name was Elizabeth and his second, Mary. Children were John, Ignatius, Rebecca, Gabriel, Lucy Ann, Elizabeth, James, Amanda and Alvin. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

"MONDAY, Jan 1. (1877) The Gentlemen in parties of from 3 to 6 went round as is customer here on New Years' day to make "calls" upon the ladies who gatherd themselves in companies of from 3 to 6. On calling, they, each party, exchanged cards on which are printed their names and "A happy New Year." Mr. Herod would have liked me and Mr. W. to have gone round with him and others. We were, however, invited out to Wm. Woodward's to dine. There were two of Joseph Brunskill's sons, Wm. and David, and their wives and Miss Sarah Lockey that was in Swaledale last year. We had roast Turkey and various other things and taken altogether a very pleasant time. We had some music, reading, and riddles. The following was set us by Wm. Woodward: "What is the difference between 6 dozen, dozen, and half a dozen dozen?" Answer 792. Wm. Brunskill and wife had a very nice little girl, a niece, with them. I have found the children here remarkably quick-witted. "Wm. Brunskill told me that his farm contains or rather consists of 80 acres. He winters on 20 acres of hay, 9 cows, 7 stirks [yearling heifers] and calves, and three horses. The horses are kept in and also summered on the same crop, which is equal to keeping 22 head of horses and cattle. He also raises about 20 hogs. Cows he values at $25 each, 2 years old at $15, 1 year old at $9. Butter all the year round 25 cents per lb. The young hogs get blue milk and corn, 4 or 5 sows sufficient to breed 20 hogs, which are about the proper proportion to keep along with 9 cows. Beef, life weight, averages one year with another about 4 cents per lb. and pork 6 1/2 cents per lb. dressed for market. He has 12 acres of Indian corn which average about 40 bushel to the acre. Horses are worth on an average about $80. We accompanied Miss Lockey home; she lives near Mr. Waller. "John Willis sent me his Uncle's address through Anne, viz Mr. Willis, Rama, Mifflin, Iowa County, Wisconsin. It is not far from Mineral Point where Mrs. Spensley lives." NOTE: "Blue milk was the residue left after skimming or separating removed the cream." jiminal

"WEDNESDAY, Dec 27, (1886) I spent the day with Thomas Metcalfe. We went over his farm, which he rents for $300. One of his fields is 17 acres, another 15 acres, both beside his house and very good land. Then he has a long pasture, woody and rough by the side of the creek. At the foot of which is some bottom land very rich, say 10 acres, through which the creek runs, and on the other side a large pasture rising southward, covered thinley with oak, some of which will be good land when cleared. Altogether there is 120 acres. Wm. Cleminson, the Landlord, kept 24 head of cattle and horses upon it, 3 of them horses, besides hogs, chickens, &c., and he grew sufficient corn to feed with. They sell their butter for 25 cents per lb. in Dubuque all the year round. Mr. & Mrs. Cleminson were invited to dinner. We had roast goose and pies, &c., and tea out of Mrs. M.'s best china. I took my violin, and Mr. Cleminson accompanied me on his bass fiddle. We managed to play "Whi! le Shepherds" and several other tunes very well together. He is somewhat of a believer in Spiritualism and as he broached the subject I could not resist arguing the question with him which I believe I did very successfully. He, unlike many, argued fairly. When he came here 19 years ago he had nothing; now he lets his land for (pound) 60 a year, has timber on a considerable portion of it worth $100 per acre, which he can get grubbed for $10 per acre. It is also mineral ground, with several crevices passing through it, which have proved very rich close to it. His father was Isaiah Cleminson, an Agent at Feetham, his wife a Jackson of Reeth. They have only one son, a bookkeeper in Dubuque. Called on my way home at Mrs. Waller's for Mr. W. who was sitting there. Thomas Metcalfe's beef stands him to only 3 cents per lb., two or three of the neighbors having joined with him at aheifer." "THURSDAY, Dec. 28. Mr W. and I went in the afternoon to Mr. Bonson's; they had been having a party. When we got there they were all gone except Mr. & Mrs. Herod. We had a very good supper, with raw oysters. We played some games with cards on which were printed the names of authors and their works. Mrs. Bonson's eldest son has a fiddle which they got me to try; they seemed very pleased with my playing. He is only trying to learn it. As we came home the thermometer was about 10 (degrees) below zero, yet we did not notice its being extra cold as the air was quite still. We found it very pleasant walking." NOTES : "Feetham and Reeth are in lower Swaledale, down river from Spring End." Mr. W. is Woodward jiminal

Rebecca, There is not any indexed entry for PEDELTY or CHAPMAN. There is one reference to Richard ALDERSON, Jr. and several (pp 57,72,77,85,87,88) references for James ALDERSON. There are also several (pp 15,42,46,49,58,64,65,71,75,81,83,86,92,101,103,106) references for Richard BONSON and one for Robert BONSON.

Karen, you are correct. It was May 10, 1869 when the Union Pacific joined the Central Pacific Railroad near Promotory, Utah.. Ruth

Bill: Only wagon trains went across the prairie until after the Civil War when the golden spike was put in the last rail connecting both coasts just outside Salt Lake City, UT (Promontary Point, I believe.) The year was in 1869 I think. Karen

Sorry I made a mistake in my last email ... Anna Broderick was married May 4, 1892 ... Thank you

Is there any reference in your Broderick diary of Anna Broderick. She married John Callahan May 4, 1862. She was probably born sometime in the 1860s? Her parents were Patrick and Margaret Broderick. Thank you, JeanieG731@aol.com

Jeanie, There is no reference that fits your description. Also no reference to Patrick BRODERICK. There are several brief references to his sister Anne that was back in England. These are almost all having to do with either sending a letter to her or receiving a letter from her.

"SATURDAY, Dec 16. (1876) Reading, &c. in the forenoon, went into town with Mr. W. who called upon Mr. Heine. I called at Mr. Waller's Real Estate Office, and discussed the question of loaning money here from England, at 10 per cent on good land security. He calculates that, with deductions for transfer, loss of time in reloaning after payments of capital, &c, a net interest of 8 per cent could be realized. I saw Thomas Metcalfe in George Reynoldson's Store, and Edward Metcalfe of Calvert Houses. He was born in Wensleydale near Moorcock and Thwait Bridge and his relations are mostly in Wensleydale. He was quite pleased to meet some one who could discuss on Wensleydale affairs and people." NOTE: "Moor Cock and Thwaite Bridge are in upper Wensleydale, the next dale to the south of Swaledale." jiminal

"WEDNESDAY, Dec 13. (1876) Mr. W. was in town. I went over to Centre Grove to Wm. Woodward's and had dinner with them, after which Mr. W. and I went over to Thomas Metcalfe's, to spend the afternoon. His cow, 6 years old, for which he gave $30, worth $40 now, had calven the other night. In England it would have sold in calf for (pounds) 20 readily on account of its milking qualities. Cleminson, of whom he takes his farm "not yet entered upon" had four cows standing in the yard worth say (pounds) 15 all round in England and valued at $25 each here. Thomas looks well and his wife and children too. Joseph Reynoldson was there. We had tea, and Mrs. Metcalfe brought out her best china ware, which she brought out with her from England. We saw Joseph Brunskill's eldest son, driving a team. They tie their cows in the stalls by a rope with a noose thrown over the horns and knotted through a hole in the side of the stall. I walked home and found Mr. Woodward ready to go o! ut to Mrs. Waller's, so I went with him. We (Miss Spensley, Miss Coates, Miss Roberts, and ourselves) played snap. Mrs. Waller and Mrs. Roberts, her daughter, looking on. Mr. J. R. Waller not at home." NOTE: "Joseph Brunskill, Sr. owned 65 acres in Table Mound Township near the village of Ballyclough, about 6 miles south-west of Centre Grove. His two sons, Joseph, Jr. and James W., formerly of Medina, Ohio, also farmed in the same area and previously had run a smelter in Centre Grove.
