Not yet, due to lack of opportunity (I'm up to my ears in work right now). My g-g-uncle Jonathan Dennis Cathell(1817 - 1913)was reported to be extremely pleased about being 1/8 Indian. His sister, who died in infancy, was named Ann Starling Cathell in honor of Ann Starling; their mother would have presumably known the original, her grandmother. I've made some tentative stabs at the Morris and Twiford males, but I'm not sure how to go after the Starlings (if that is indeed a surname rather than an interpretation of the lady's Indian name). That's why I noted it was an unconfirmed family story - hope I have a chance to dig into it further one of these days!

This would depend on ~where~ the marriage took place. A State archive or Historical Society would be more likely to welcome such a donation if the marriages were not locally recorded. You could also consider scanning them and asking if the USGenWeb site for the relevant County or Counties would like to upload scans. USGenWeb sites always welcome donations of transcripts of marriage records, as well. The USGenWeb gateway is here: http://www.usgenweb.org/ Cheers, Judy </HTML>

< . . . isn't the term "Native American" of rather recent origin? I wonder what term would have been used at the time?> In Somerset County in 1750, as evidenced by the 1750 tax list, Monie Hundred, Native Americans were called "Indian." The family which had the Indian designation was Newman. Henry Newman was half and his son Isaac was one quarter. Henry's father was English; the mother an Annemessex Indian (another record calls her this, not me.) I know several folks who are Newman descendants and the Indian ancestry did not come down in oral family history. Only in that one tax list is the designation made. I have seen some women taxed which tells me they were not English and I also know descendants of them who have no oral tradition of the ancestor being not English. It just depended on who the constable was and what he knew. Same with census when that was instituted. Some years folks were called mulatto and other years white. No Indian designation that I have seen in Somerset. Becky ________________________________

I did some genealogy for a client in LA. It was illegal for a white man to marry an Indian that early. They did however live together as man and wife, had children, and used the man's name.

If the lady or ladies in question were living in the "English" community, I should think they would follow those customs. In Accomack and Northampton early court records, one finds instances of male Native Americans coming to court to get "Englished" names. In some Somerset records one can find persons of either gender (and who knows what sort of ancestry) whose race is listed as "chestnut". I had previously only considered chestnut to be either a type of tree or a particular horse color, and haven't a clue what was meant by whoever was writing these things, but it is interesting. As for the daughter's children in your example, I would rather have thought they would have their father's last name, not that of their grandfather. If they returned to the Native American community, they might have done anything about their names, but possibly would not have continued to use the "English" names. You might find some clues by searching Aminidab Haw. Elizabeth In a message dated 9/14/2010 10:25:58 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Can any one answer this for me?

The name would be the father's name but if they divorced, the mother might change the name. I am Chickasaw and my g-g-grandfather was named Cyrus Harrison when born. His Mother divorced his dad and she changed his name to Harris.(She wanted nothing more to do with that man) He was the first governor of the Chickasaw Nation. From then on, the name of Harris has been the family name.....to this day.Names can change in Native Americans. A person might have a name as a child and then it can be changed as he grew to be a different person....and another name later in life. The oldest female gives the names to the family.

Hello Listers I am posing this question on behalf of a Bradley/Badley researcher, John Bradley, of NC. He is interested in finding a direct male descendant of Clement Bradley/Badley (c1805-1887) for a ydna study. I'm a Clement descendant, but through numerous female lines.

They had son William Charles Bradley (1825-1865) who married Mary A Conley/Connelly. They had sons -- Washington J Bradley (1847-1914), -- Matthew M Bradley (1848-), -- John C Bradley (1851-1934), -- William Francis Bradley (1855-1914), -- Atlas Olin Bradley (1865-1942) and -- Severn C Bradley (1869-1932). Can anyone direct John Bradley to a male descendant of one of these six males? If anyone knows of another male descendant of Clement *who had sons*, please let John (and me) know.

There is an article in The William and Mary Quarterly Third Series, Vol. 39, No. 4 (Oct., 1982), pp. 628-654 titled "Gods Candle" within Government: Quakers and Politics in Early Maryland that has a list of "Quaker justices with their dates of appointment and probable service" (p. 634). For Dorchester , Stephen Gary (1668-1678) is one of the Quaker justices listed. It also says that he served as sheriff of Dorchester from 1678-1682 (p. 635).

This property eventually ended up in the hands of Henry Hooper. As this name is perpetuated several generations, I am still wondering if it is the same Henry Hooper who owned lots in Vienna and the surrounding area. PORPEIGHAM is located somewhere between present day Bucktown and Cambridge at the head of the Transquaking River in Dorchester County. There is a tie with this particular property to the Quaker population in this area as well. Was Stephen Gary himself a Quaker? Does anyone know where I could find a translation of the name PORPEIGHAM ? I would also like to learn more about the Quaker population here in Dorchester County. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
