Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yl.2ADE/1459.1779.1 Message Board Post: Dear Jessica, Undoubtedly we are probably related some where in the dim past. If you live in PA, I would hazard the guess that you are decended from the Spink family that came to the US and setteled in New York when it was still a colony. Donetta and I are decended from the Spink family that came from Hull, England, in 1850 and settled in Davenport, Iowa. His name was Henry Spink, and the family eventually branched out to CA, FL, and VA. I have the feeling that if we are related, it would be through family connections back in Yorkshire, England, where the city of Hull is located. Thanks for writing! Barry

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa April 22, 1872 Police Court. A nameless individual was brought up for being drunk, and fined $2 and costs, which he paid. For being an habitual drunkard, James Kelly was brought before Justice Peters, and placed under bonds of $150 in default of which he went to jail. He was found in a very dilapidated condition in the second story of Hill's block, over Hewitt's store. April 25, 1872 A Wife Beater in Limbo. John Lee, the man who amused himself beating his wife, a week or two ago, was brought up before Justice Thorington a day or two ago and was discharged on his promising to leave the State. This promise, it seems, he did not fulfill. Last night about twelve, he went to the residence of his brother-in-law, on the bluff, and asked for something to eat, which he received. He then went to the house where his wife now resides and commenced making a terrible row. He was rearrested on the old warrant, and taken to jail, since when he has been or assumed to be, crazy and has been under lock and key. Fast Driving. Two Buffalo coal miners, named Charles Sellers, and John Rees, were arrested last evening for fast driving. They were in a wagon driving with great speed toward town, and run into the wagon of a man named Henry Ruge, damaging his rig $40 worth. Ruge got out a warrant, and they were brought before Justice Peters this morning. They pleaded guilty, and were each fined $5 and costs. They agreeing to settle with Ruge, he did not prosecute them. Sellers paid, and Rees, was given seven days in which to pay. They have evidently learned a lesson which they will not forget very soon. April 30, 1872 Police Court. A case of the rights of bar-keepers was up before Justice Peters this afternoon. A man named Knocke had been a constant frequenter of the saloon of Louis Lorenzen, who did not particularly like him, as he was too forward. The other night he came in and called for something to drink, but the bar-keeper who claims to have been asleep, did not heed him. Knocke then commenced acting in an ungentlemanly manner, and Mr. Lorenzen put him out. Knocke immediately claimed $65 worth of damaged character and rights, and the case is being heard.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa April 15, 1872. A Scoundrel Stephen Mulloney lives in Moline and hauls highwines. He delivered a load in Rock Island on Saturday and on returning stopped at the St. Louis Exchange, a place infamous. His wife learned the fact that he had stopped there several times before, and following him she saw the team standing at the door, and told Marshal Mitsch to get it for her. She drove up town, and the Marshal searched the premises for the rascal, but could not find him. Mulloney made his escape from the house, followed the wagon to the court house, when he got in and commenced abusing his wife, and kicking her out of the wagon. Marshal Mitsch with two or three officers, followed the wretch and arrested him. Mrs. Mulloney was sadly wounded. In all probability the miserable den where Mulloney went into will be shut up, and Rock Island will be fire of its foul presence. We have some such iniquitous hell holes in our city which we wish could be crushed never to come to life again. Midnight Plunderers. On Saturday night the house of Mr. A. Burdick, near Fifteenth and Perry, was entered by burglars, and a sack and a half of flour as well as about $20 worth of clothing were stolen. Mr. Dittoe, living near by, found a piece of rope in his yard next morning, and surmises that it was their intention to hang hi. An article of clothing was also found near Judge Linderman 's. Nothing is known as to who perpetrated the theft. Police Court. Two State offences before Justice Peters today. One was a gambling case. Wm. Turner and John Thompson were arrested for playing cards for money, in the Farmer's saloon on Second near Filmore. They were each fined $1 and costs, which was paid. John Lee was brought up on a charge of assault and battery, prefered by his wife, whom he had struck in the head in a very brutal manner. He was fined $10 and costs, which he paid. April 16, 1872 Police Court. Pat Moloy was brought up for being drunk, and was fined $2 and costs, which he paid. A man named Blessington was up on a like charge, and was fined $2 and costs, and went to jail in default. Two Italian boys, named Pepin Warren and Frank Bein, were up for disturbing the peace, and fined $3.00 each and costs, which they paid, as follows: $4 in one dollar bills, 5 fifty cent pieces, 50 five cent pieces, and the balance in 10 and 15 cent pieces. They were still one dollar short, and they took out 100 coppers and offered them, when the Justice told them to keep them and go in peace. They are two orphan boys; one left Italy about a year ago, and the other has been here for four years. The oldest, Bein, is quite intelligent, and can speak English fluently. They have been all over this country getting a living as strolling players. They attempted to play in a saloon contrary to the wishes of the proprietor and were arrested as disturbers of the peace. They seemed glad to get off so easily. April 20, 1872 Police Court One drunk before Justice Peters to-day. His name was William Johnston, and he languishes in jail because he could not pay a $2 fine and costs.

John McCoy was brought before Justice Peters this morning, charged with intoxication. He was fined $3 and costs, and time given him to pay. April 13, 1872 Knocked Down and Robbed. Hans Pelagman, a farmer, while going home from this city, on Thursday evening, was robbed of $50. He was walking, and alone. After leaving the Six Mile House, he discovered that some one was following him, but did not take much notice of it. He had gotten about two miles east of that place, and near home, when he was knocked down and his money taken from him. He has no idea of who committed the outrage, nor has any clue yet been found to point to him.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa March 19, 1872 Police Court. John Lyons got drunk, and as a natural consequence, was arrested and brought before the justice, who fined him $5 and costs, he being an old offender. He went to jail. John Bickermore was up, charged with being drunk, was fined $2.80 and costs, which he paid. A man named Allison was brought up on a like charge, and fined $2.80 costs, which he was unable to pay, and so was committed. Andy Stewart was found guilty of disturbing the public peace, contrary to law, and against the dignity of the State of Iowa, and was fined $2 and costs, which he will work out at the stone yard. Circuit Court. The Martin-Dobbins case concluded-decision reserved. Case of Peter Arp vs. A. Frank, action for damages, Jury trial. It seems that Frank sold Arp some burning fluid whereby Arp got badly burned on the hands, face, and body. Bells & Block for plaintiff; Martin & Murphy for defendant. March 25, 1872 Police Court. Monday brought its usual crop of drunks and which are as follows: William Johnson for intoxication, was taxed the sum of $2.80 and costs, and act having the necessary funds, went to jail. A man with no name, for the same offense was fined $2 and costs, which he paid. Andrew Anderson, for being drunk, was fined $2 and costs. Paid. Another nameless individual was charged with disturbing the public peace, was hauled up, and fined $2 and costs, part of which he paid. March 27, 1872 Circuit Court Thos. F. Keating vs. C.R.I. & P. Co., action "Malicious mischief." Plaintiff sets up that on the 26 of July last he bought a ticket at Muscatine for Rock Island over defendant's road; that his credentials were taken up before reaching Davenport; that ten cents, bridge fare, was demanded, which he refused to pay; that he was put off the train, and for such indignity, assault, and loss of time, he brings suit, claiming damages in the sum of $1,000. Jury trial: Stewart & Armstrong for plff; Cook & Bruning for defendant. Insolence A man named James Mahon, wanted to get across the new bridge last night, and on being refused used insolent and indecent language toward the watchman. Capt. J.A. Miller, who after standing as much as he cared to, arrested him, and he was this morning brought before Justice Peters and fined $5 and costs, and was sent out of the city. March 28, 1872 Circuit Court. The jury in the case of Keating vs. C.R.I. & P. R. Co. brought in a verdict for plaintiff for $8.10. It is easy enough to see that the ten cents is for the bridge ticket alleged to have been improperly taken up by the conductor; but if the eight dollars is to pay plaintiff's traveling expenses to attend court, and the reasonable charges of his attorneys, then we can't see it at all. Dejean vs. Richter, Henseler & Co; action for alleged breach of contract growing out of the purchase of a hard wood raft. Jury trial; Brown, Campbell & Sully for Plaintiff; Davison & True for Defendants. Police Court. A man named Mathias Cooper was arrested for being a vagrant. He was brought before Justice Peters, and his trial set for tomorrow. In default of $150 bail he was sent to jail.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa January 29, 1907 JAMESTOWN The Ladies Birthday club, a society of church workers, met at the home of Mrs. Frank Weldon, Thursday. The attendance was not as large as usual owing to the cold weather and rough roads. A pleasant time was had, however, and considerable business transacted. The hostess regaled the members with a fine dinner, which was enjoyed by members to the fullest satisfaction. The coal mine of Frank Winfield was put out of commission for a day Wednesday, by the sudden rush of water on the miners, caused by a break in some of the old workings. The damage was soon repaired and the mine resumed its wonted activity. A case of brutality was witnessed in this place Friday, a teamster from Davenport striking his horse in the head with the neckyoke of the wagon, felling the animal to the earth. The man's name could not be learned, but such brute should be promptly reported and dealt with accordingly to law in such cases made and provided. During the past week James Garvey moved his family and household goods, together with his horses and other stock from Davenport to his farm southwest of this place, purchased by him some time since, and will settle down to farm in earnest. William Walker is rapidly convalescing from a severe fall sustained some weeks since, in which three of his ribs were fractured. Under the skillful treatment of Dr. Tuefel of Buffalo, he is now able to walk around the house. Mr. Walker is 76 years of age and his quick recovery from such a serious injury is remarkable. Regular services were held Sunday in the church here, conducted by Rev. Behrens of Davenport. The children are instructed in Sabbath school by a competent corps of Sabbath school workers. It is learned with regret that Grandma Mosefeldt, the venerable mother of Mrs. Henry Sass of this place is seriously ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Barner, in Durant. Infirmities of old age, and other complications are the cause. The old lady is 85 years of age. Ed. Taylor is putting the finishing touches on the fine barn he has been building, and it is quite an important addition to his fruit farm southwest of this place. The ice in the ponds in this place is in prime condition, and the young people are making the most of the sport of skating these beautiful moonlight nights. MAQUOKETA [Jackson Co.] Miss Bertha Hand of Mt. Vernon, Ia., is visiting at the home of her friend, Miss Belle Riegel. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hurst's youngest child, a beautiful boy of four years, lies dangerously ill with lung fever. Miss Minnie Boston is the nurse in attendance. A "stork" shower was given at the home of Miss Lena Fischer by the P.I.G.'s in honor of Mrs. Walter Jameson. Light refreshments were served and all had a fine time. Miss Blessing won the prize. Ed. Ringlep, living on West Platt street, is fatally ill. The doctors are baffled by his disease. A consultation was held Saturday and it was then thought he could not live but a few days. He has a wife and four children and it would be a sad thing to see him cut down in his early manhood. The P.E.O. society met at the home of Mrs. Max Wright Monday evening. Mr.and Mrs. Frank Trout entertained 18 ladies and gentlemen Thursday evening at a 6 o'clock dinner, which was followed by cards. Isaiah Cooley, a man of 76 years, is ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Tracy. It seems to be his wish to pass on, to join his wife who died a few years ago.
