Cynthia Anne Karlburg Jordan(1934 - 2016) Cynthia Anne Karlburg Jordan April 10, 1934 ~ July 9, 2016 Cynthia Anne Karlburg Jordan passed away on July 9, 2016 in Boise, Idaho, at age 82, of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). She was born on April 10, 1934 in Lewiston, Idaho to Herbert Emmanuel and Gladys Belle Karlburg. They lived across the street from another "only child", Betty Faris Webb. Cindy and Betty became inseparable, roller-skating to the library, going on extended family fly-fishing trips on the Lochsa and Selway, spending summers at Seaside, and being spoiled by three doting aunts. Cindy's mother was a Cornish-educated music teacher; Cindy inherited this love of music as a mezzo-soprano and pianist. At Lewiston High, Cindy excelled in golf, was an all-state musician, and edited the yearbook. She received her BA in Music Education from the University of Idaho in 1956, where she found her lifelong sisters in Delta Gamma. As a music teacher in Baker, Oregon she spent her weekends skiing at Little Alps. Cindy charmed her friends with folk songs on her ukulele in the lodge, and won the heart of Joseph Leonard Jordan, a young engineer working on Brownlee Dam. They were married in Lewiston in 1958. Joe, Cindy, and their three children, Sue, Carol, and Len led the "gypsy" life of construction; they lived in Australia, Alaska and various sites throughout the west. Cindy always made the most of every new home, directing choirs, starting a kindergarten, teaching school, and working for the Idaho State Legislature. She loved public policy and the arts with almost equal passion. In 1991 Cindy and Joe retired to build a house near Council and subsequently a cabin near Bear, Idaho. In 2003, the Jordans returned to Boise to be close to family and civilization. This meant finding homes for their two trail horses but the foothills trails were still inviting. Joe preceded her in death in January of 2015. Cindy is survived by their three children, Sue (Glen) Lovelace, Carol (Dave) Eckert and Len (Jen) Jordan; and grandchildren, Anne, Eva, and Joe Lovelace, Mary and Henry Eckert, and Tess, Emily, Grace, and Jack Jordan; and many nieces and nephews, cousins, extended family and dear friends. The family extends our deepest thanks to her dedicated team of Havenwood caregivers, Karen Burney, Judy Wood, Christine Jensen, and Brenda Haymes who gave her mobility, music, companionship, and love. We also thank Christina Grant with Signature Hospice who guided her home, and to Jodeen Revere who always brings peace. A service will be held at a later date. Memorials may be sent to the Karlburg Endowment for Music Education at the University of Idaho, 875 Perimeter Drive, MS 3147, Moscow, ID 83844.

Apparently there are several counties for which the early censuses have been transcribed. FamilySearch has a couple transcriptions online. https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=348&query=% 2Bplace%3A%22United%20States%2C%20Maryland%22%20%2Bavailability%3AOnline&sub jectsOpen=361636-50 Or, if you prefer a shorter URL: http://tinyurl.com/hnmrb69 Page down to the listings for "United States, Maryland - Census - 1776" and click on the little arrow button to the left to reveal them: 1776 Census of Frederick County, Maryland Author: Miller, John 1776 census of Maryland Author: Carothers, Bettie Stirling 1776 census of Maryland Author: Carothers, Bettie Stirling 1776 Census of Maryland Author: Carothers, Bettie Stirling Maryland records : colonial, revolutionary, county and church, from original sources Author: Brumbaugh, Gaius Marcus, 1862- The formats of these transcriptions vary, probably as do the original listings. Note that there are three listings for the Carothers transcript. I found that the first and third ones are only available at a Family History Center. But the second one redirects to ExLibris Rosetta and opens a copy. It lists the following counties: Anne Arundel Baltimore Carolina Dorchester Frederick Barford Prince George Queen Anne Talbot There is also an index, but it appears that it may not be complete. The only Lovelace I find in the index by any variant spelling is our Benjamin Lovlis and his family. But I just did a cursory examination, so I may have missed an oddly spelled or mis-indexed name. Note also that the complete set of record from Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh is available. There are two volumes. Volume one contains Brumbaugh's transcription of the following counties: Provincial Census of I776, Prince George's County: St. John's and Prince George's Parishes (89 pages of facsimile reproductions) Provincial Census of I776, Frederick County:Including Lower Potomac Hundred, August 22, 1776; George Town Hundred, August 22, I776; [Unnamed] Hundred, including present Montgomery County, 1776; Elizabeth Hundred, July 22, I776 (24 pages of facsimile reproductions); Sugar Land Hundred, September 2, 1776; North West Hundred Constable's Census of Charles County, 1775-1778 (1800 Persons): Including Durham Parish; Benedict Hundred; Port Tobacco, West Hundred; Upper Hundred; East Hundred, Newport; Port Tobacco, Upper Hundred; Port Tobacco, Town Hundred; Port Tobacco, East Hundred; Pomonkey; Newport, West Hundred; William and Mary, Lower Hundred; Bryan Town Hundred Provincial Census or I776, Anne Arundel County: Including All Hallow'S Parish and St. James' Parish (25 pages of facsimile reproductions) Both volumes 1 are available as a downloadable PDF from the Internet Archive: https://ia800204.us.archive.org/11/items/marylandrecordsc01brum/marylandreco rdsc01brum.pdf https://ia800304.us.archive.org/9/items/marylandrecordsc02brum/marylandrecor dsc02brum.pdf I had thought that Brumbaugh's work is where we saw the listing for Barton in the Flying Camp regiment under Capt. Aeneas Campbell, but apparently I'm wrong... I just checked my records, and found the original email from Deb Richardson back in 1997 that gives the source. It is "Records of Maryland Troops in the Continental Service". The Maryland State Archives has a transcript of the listing on two pages, 48 and 49 of the volume: http://aomol.msa.maryland.gov/000001/000018/html/am18--48.html http://aomol.msa.maryland.gov/000001/000018/html/am18--49.html I know this is probably more than you asked for, but have at it!!!

Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg -----Original Message----- From: lovelace-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lovelace-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Brondak via Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2016 11:46 PM To: lovelace@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LL] The name Elkanah..& 1776 census

Today I took a few minutes and scrolled through the Montgomery Co MD 1776 census that Greg had posted and I'm struck again by the name Elkanah being the name of the first born of both the Watsons (Lucy's family) and Benjamin's b 1727. With their proximity on the census and that name, it really makes me think more and more about a kinship between Barton's mother and maybe Lucy's father. Where I find the name Elkanah the most is in the Watson family going back to the 1600's in New England. It's poxsible, if that were the case, that Barton and Lucy were cousins. When I have some more time I'm going to print out that census and study it some more. Some of it is really hard to read, but there were a couple of other things I noticed. There were a number of families that had members listed in their households with different surnames, maybe married daughters, maybe grandchildren, maybe servants or hired help and also a large number of the families listed "negros", apparently slaves. I was glad to see that neither the Lovelace family nor the Watson family was one of those. I recognized a lot of the families in that census, but there were many I was unfamiliar with. It also made me think of the 1790 census record of Luke Lovelace and all the household members it showed. It's very possible that he didn't have that many children, but like some of those on the 1776 census, the household could have consisted of married children, perhaps grandchildren or even others not related. Does anyone know if there are other Maryland counties that have a 1776 census still in existence? I have never found one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Lou Ann

Mary, I don't find Nancy associated with Jane except in the case of Nancy Jane and there are quite a lot of those.  Used alone Nancy is a nickname for Ann, Anna, Agnes. I wonder how that came about.

Hi clan Jane Elliot wrote me and suggested that I look at sons of Levi Loveless for Tom Cates' connection. It makes sense as they were in the right area at the right time. I had been focused on Levi and three of his brothers as they were in the right area. There is another possibility which is that James Alexander Walton is the father as the family paper genealogists had suggested, but that he is a Loveless (perhaps son of JT, or his father is a Loveless. I am looking for a male line descendant of the brother of Tom's GGrandfather to do a Y test and see if they have the same father. My question to the group, are you aware of any Lovel*** that was in the area where these two Waltons were born who may be candidates to be their fathers? Based on what you know of the location of the Lovel*** that Tom matches, would a illegitimate birth to one of the Newberry five or relative? As a reminder Bill Loveless is the closest Y DNA match to Tom and his line goes to JT Loveless 1771. James Alexander Walton 1811–1857 BIRTH 29 JULY 1811 • Burke County, Georgia, USA Jesse Walton 1786–1851 BIRTH 1786 • Onslow County, North Carolina, USA Thanks Lenny
