Hi Randy, Thank you so much for the information. And a special thank you for Capt. William Wathen, we're researching him also. I'm aware of John sailing on the "Francis and Mary" from Bristol, his indenture to Hugh Thomas, etc. I believe I'm descended from John, John and Ignatius then down the line. Given that Hugh Thomas was from Llanmadoc, Glarmorgan, Wales, I am hoping that John may have been from that area as well. Two reasons for my thinking.....the geographical location of Hugh's birthplace and the fact that Glamorgan stayed very heavily Roman Catholic in spite of efforts by the Church of England to make it otherwise. My question is, where did John come from? Wales, England or where? The other geography I'm looking at is that Llanmadoc is very near Swansea at the mouth of the Bristol Channel. Taking shots in the dark for now, but hoping to find more on John. bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Dunavan" <jeep71@att.net> To: <mdstmary@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 1:25 PM Subject: Re: [MDSTMARY] Hugh THOMAS Bill, Have some "SHARED" notes & Linage on that............

Interested in some trivia? This is one of those long posts. It’s been e-ons since I’ve posted the list, so I hope you will bare with it. Perhaps there may be some appeal in this post for those that have followed their Marylandancestors out of Kentucky. So here it goes… In 1834 Joseph Jarboe, Jr [ (1790c -1867) b. Fredrick Co. Md] a native of Bardstown, KYrelocated his family to the French Colony of Westport Landing on the Missouri River. (Joseph married Lydia Ann Clements, daughter of William H. Clements and Winifred Hardy of St. Mary's County, Md.) Joseph established the Jarboe line in that area and was engaged as merchant, and holder of a general store until his death. He suffered that death by the smoking of too many cigars, according to Jarboe's 2nd wife Cordelia A. Wilson (b. 1819 in MD). Coridelia' s first husband was Charles W. Jarboe (1815-1850) of Baltimore, Md. As it was, Westportwas a jumping off point (west of St. Louis) for pioneers on their travels west into Indian Territoryand in 1834 was a community of 250 souls. It wasn't until May of 1839 that Westportwas referred to as the town "Kansas". And in time referred to as Kansas City, on both sides of the Missouri River. Jarboe and children establish themselves as civic leaders, serving in various positions in city government. The family prospered - and to this day, the Jarboe surname and descendant still survive. As it went... Along about 1843, Chief White Hair of the Osage tribe (Sioux sect) which inhabited the NeoshoRiverValley (S.E. corner of KS) asked the US Senate to send blackrobes to setup schools among Osage. White Hair was a one time student of the Jesuits. The request was made law (treaty) and the first white settlers headed for the Neosho, all catholic religious, who began their migration to Indian Territory. Things didn’t get going until the spring of 1847 when Fr. John Scheonmakers from Holland, Fr. John Bax of Belgiumand three brothers, all Jesuit missionaries, established a permanent mission, they called it "Osage Mission". These men erected the first structures. The geography boundary of the Missiontoday is located in NeoshoCountybetween the NeoshoRiverand Flat Rock Creek. Osage Mission changed its name in 1895 to St. Paul(after St. Paulof the Cross founder of Passionist Order). This is where Joe Jarboe comes back into the picture. The Rev. Schoemakers - back in WestportMissourioutfitting supplies and a small caravan for the Mission. Just so happened, Fr. John hired Mr. Jarboe, (the merchant) and his two-horse wagon to escort them to the newly established Osage Mission. The Jesuit and 3 nuns of the order of the Sisters of Loretto set out on a 150 mile southerly trek into Indian Territoryon the Neosho. For the sisters, this was the last leg of their journey from Nerinx, KY.The little caravan consisting of the Jesuit priest, Mr. Jarboe, Mother Concordia Henning, Sisters Bridget Hayden (of KilKenny Ireland), Sister Mary Van Prother and Sister Vincentia Van Cool. The group started for the Osage Mission, from Mrs. P.M. Chouteau house (One of the founding families of St. Louis). The Sisters of Lorretto and the Jesuits built up the Missionministering the willing Osage through the times of treaties and the Civil War. The Indian population (some 5,000) due to those treaties and war were being displaced to the west and the Oklahomaterritory. In 1860 there were only 88 white settlers (mostly squatters) in the Southeast corner of the new state of Kansas. But when things changed, with the onset of the Homestead Act of 1862, this legally opened up Indian Territoryto white settlements. Homesteadand the 1865 Osage Reserve Treaty allowed for ex-soldiers & civilian emigration to settle the fertile bottom lands of the NeoshoRivervalley. Many of these soldiers hailed from central Kentucky. To put the Kansas migration into perspective, those 88 white settlers in the entire southeast corner of the state in 1860 grew to 11,211 in just one county according to 1870 Neosho County census (est. 1861). Pretty intense numbers. The city of Osage Missionwas laid out in December of 1867. The city and much of Neoshocounty were arranged in square mile grids or 640 acre plots. With the implementation of Kansas-NebraskaAct of 1854 along with the Osage Treaty of 1865 white settlers were able to purchase a 160 acre track for $1.25 an acre as long as they lived and improved the land. Families would band together and buy a full 640 acre plot or section to combine their labor force. The offer of cheap bottom land attracted immigrant and Kentuckysettlers alike. Business was brisk and in 1869 the state accepted over 2,000 land applications. Now we get to the meat… In 1867 the first Kentuckian family with southern Maryland ancestry settled in the Osage Mission area was Francis Pius Coomes and spouse Rachel Ann Hagan, Then, came the Wheats, Leakes, Mudds, Jarboes, O’Bryans, Owens, Abells, Smiths, and so on. The attraction was more than the land, Osage Mission offered a religious community with familiarity. The Kentuckians kept coming and the city grew to over 3,000 in the 1870s and was the 13th largest community in the state. With the influx of so many Kentuckians the community continued the Marylandtraditions. The town developed into a catholic stronghold in the state with a monastery, convent, catholic school, and college. The streets were even lined with Kentuckyelms that my ancestors and others broght from MarionCountyin covered wagon. A few still survive after a 140 years of tornados. The point of this glimpse into prairie history is to make available a list of names of that relate to St. Mary County, ancestry. Our hope is to instigate dialog to expand the Maryland linage database. We are going to post this and a second e-mail with a list of names. If you see a name of interest on that list, I would welcome your input.

It was mentioned in the Domesday Book as "Land of the King" or "Kings' Tun". The old church, houses, gardens, hedges, stone walls, cows, crops and grass, still reflect a harmony of nature and man. The twelfth century stone church of Saint Michael and All Saints, stands in the village on a slight elevation. The square stone tower of the Norman style, in the mode of a fortress, brings to mind the bloodied early history of the Welsh borders. Old gravestones are incorporated into the floor of the church, some of them bearing the names of Preece and Wathen forebears. Judith Preece is buried in the churchyard. A brilliant stained glass window gives a more modern touch to the ancient building.   *** I noticed some US citizens are searching the surname WATHEN. It may be of interest to you that there is a cluster of Wathens in the UK. It seems the Wathen families, many of whom were Hand Silk Weavers were quite settled until the early 1800s. When automisation came along their trade was devastated and forced whole families to seek a living else where or starve.

Notes for S Henry Hudson English navigator, who explored the NE coast of North America, making claims for both the English and the Dutch. Nothing is known about his early life. He sailed in search of a passage across the Pole (1607), reached Novaya Zemlya (1608), entered the river which was named after him (1609), and (1610) travelled through the strait and bay which now bear his name. He resolved to winter there, but food ran short, the men mutinied, and he and eight others were cast adrift to die.   Henry Hudson's Final Voyage, financed by the British East India Company, sailed from England in 1610 and wintered in Hudson Bay. In the summer of 1611 the crew mutinied and set Henry Hudson, his son John, and seven other men adrift in a small boat without food or water. They were never seen again. In 1614 Katherine Hudson, widow of the explorer, asked the East India Company for employment for her youngest son Richard. Richard sailed on the ship Samaritan and continued in the service of the company, making trips as far away as Japan and India.

I've never found her birth record, baptismal records - etc. - in Barbadoes records (not that they're all in print, I suppose. Someday I'm going to have to go there, I guess -- but staying off the beach long enough to really research may be tough! It would be logical that Henry Hudson was the grandson of THE Henry - probably through Richard - but possibly through John - no one said he died in 1611. ******* Children of JOHN2ATHEN(JAMES1USANNAHBRAYNEAbt. 1671 in Maryland.

William Wathen, we're researching him also.  I'm aware of John sailing on the "Francis and Mary" from Bristol, his indenture to Hugh Thomas, etc.  I believe I'm descended from John, John and Ignatius then down the line. Given that Hugh Thomas was from Llanmadoc, Glarmorgan, Wales, I am hoping that John may have been from that area as well.  Two reasons for my thinking.....the geographical location of Hugh's birthplace and the fact that Glamorgan stayed very heavily Roman Catholic in spite of efforts by the Church of England to make it otherwise.  My question is, where did John come from?  Wales, England or where?  The other geography I'm looking at is that Llanmadoc is very near Swansea at the mouth of the Bristol Channel.  Taking shots in the dark for now, but hoping to find more on John. bill ----- Original Message ----- W W) was born 1694 in St Mary's Co., Md, and died March 1760 in Charles County, MD.

Thank you for this history lesson, James! I enjoyed it because I have Jarboe, White and Alvey in my line. I have a deed of conveyance with sellers Lee M. White, Charles A. White, James H. White, and Mattie White his wife from the Cherokee Nation to Buyers Francis White and John V. White of Grayson County, KY and I have wondered why these Whites were in the Indian Territory. This explains it a little! Do you know or have any information on these people?

Joseph established the Jarboe line in that area and was engaged as merchant, and holder of a general store until his death.  He suffered that death by the smoking of too many cigars, according to Jarboe's 2nd wife Cordelia A. Wilson (b. 1819 in MD).  Coridelia' s first husband was Charles W. Jarboe (1815-1850) of Baltimore, Md.    As it was, Westportwas a jumping off point (west of St. Louis) for pioneers on their travels west into Indian Territoryand in 1834 was a community of 250 souls.  It wasn't until May of 1839 that Westportwas referred to as the town "Kansas".  And in time referred to as Kansas City, on both sides of the Missouri River.  Jarboe and children establish themselves as civic leaders, serving in various positions in city government.  The family prospered -  and to this day, the Jarboe surname and descendant still survive.   As it went...   Along about 1843, Chief White Hair of the Osage tribe (Sioux sect) which inhabited the NeoshoRiverValley  (S.E. corner of KS) asked the US Senate to send blackrobes to setup schools among Osage. White Hair was a one time student of the Jesuits. The request was made law (treaty) and the first white settlers headed for the Neosho, all catholic religious, who began their migration to Indian Territory.   Things didn’t get going until the spring of 1847 when Fr. John Scheonmakers from Holland, Fr. John Bax of Belgiumand three brothers, all Jesuit missionaries, established a permanent mission, they called it "Osage Mission".  These men erected the first structures.  The geography boundary of the Missiontoday is located in NeoshoCountybetween the NeoshoRiverand Flat Rock Creek. Osage Mission changed its name in 1895 to St. Paul(after St. Paulof the Cross founder of Passionist Order).   This is where Joe Jarboe comes back into the picture. The Rev. Schoemakers - back in WestportMissourioutfitting supplies and a small caravan for the Mission. Just so happened, Fr. John hired Mr. Jarboe, (the merchant) and his two-horse wagon to escort them to the newly established Osage Mission. The Jesuit and 3 nuns of the order of the Sisters of Loretto set out on a 150 mile southerly trek into Indian Territoryon the Neosho. For the sisters, this was the last leg of their journey from Nerinx, KY.The little caravan consisting of the Jesuit priest, Mr. Jarboe, Mother Concordia Henning, Sisters Bridget Hayden (of KilKenny Ireland), Sister Mary Van Prother and Sister Vincentia Van Cool. The group started for the Osage Mission, from Mrs. P.M. Chouteau house (One of the founding families of St. Louis).   The Sisters of Lorretto and the Jesuits built up the Missionministering the willing Osage through the times of treaties and the Civil War. The Indian population (some 5,000) due to those treaties and war were being displaced to the west and the Oklahomaterritory.  In 1860 there were only 88 white settlers (mostly squatters) in the Southeast corner of the new state of Kansas.  But when things changed, with the onset of the Homestead Act of 1862, this legally opened up Indian Territoryto white settlements. Homesteadand the 1865 Osage Reserve Treaty allowed for ex-soldiers & civilian emigration to settle the fertile bottom lands of the NeoshoRivervalley.  Many of these soldiers hailed from central Kentucky.   To put the Kansas migration into perspective, those 88 white settlers in the entire southeast corner of the state in 1860 grew to 11,211 in just one county according to 1870 Neosho County census (est. 1861). Pretty intense numbers.   The city of Osage Missionwas laid out in December of 1867.  The city and much of Neoshocounty were arranged in square mile grids or 640 acre plots.  With the implementation of Kansas-NebraskaAct of 1854 along with the Osage Treaty of 1865 white settlers were able to purchase a 160 acre track for $1.25 an acre as long as they lived and improved the land.  Families would band together and buy a full 640 acre plot or section to combine their labor force.  The offer of cheap bottom land attracted immigrant and Kentuckysettlers alike.  Business was brisk and in 1869 the state accepted over 2,000 land applications.    Now we get to the meat…   In 1867 the first Kentuckian family with southern Maryland ancestry settled in the Osage Mission area was Francis Pius Coomes and spouse Rachel Ann Hagan, Then, came the Wheats, Leakes, Mudds, Jarboes, O’Bryans, Owens, Abells, Smiths, and so on. The attraction was more than the land, Osage Mission offered a religious community with  familiarity.  The Kentuckians kept coming and the city grew to over 3,000  in the 1870s and was the 13th largest community in the state. With the influx of so many Kentuckians the community continued the Marylandtraditions.  The town developed into a catholic stronghold in the state with a monastery, convent, catholic school, and college. The streets were even lined with Kentuckyelms that my ancestors and others broght from MarionCountyin covered wagon. A few still survive after a 140 years of tornados.   The point of this glimpse into prairie history is to make available a list of names of that relate to St. Mary County, ancestry. Our hope is to instigate dialog to expand the Maryland linage database.  We are going to post this and a second e-mail with a list of names.  If you see a name of interest on that list, I would welcome your input.  Thank you for taking the time to read…   Randy Dunavan   Longview, Texas 

Thanks Bob for sending the obits for Sister Mary Louise Donnelly. I agree she has kept us hopping, and yes she may have some mistakes (but we all have made mistakes at some time), but like many of us think, it is extremely hard to put a family book together, and sometimes she also may have been led down the wrong road. Like many of us, we tend to believe, as not everyone, can afford to get every birth and death certificates nor can we find all of them, and sometimes they are even wrong when we get them. May she rest in peace.

She's certainly kept us all hopping these many years in sorting out the facts. While the errors make us crazy, it takes a lot of guts to publish a family genealogy. It is doomed to contain errors from the moment it is published, because we are all only human. She had the courage to publish enough to get many of us started on our southern Maryland lines, and for that, I thank her, and hope that she finds all of her REALLY REALLY long deceased ancestors in Heaven waiting to give her the scoop.

While the errors make us crazy, it takes a lot of guts to publish a family genealogy.  It is doomed to contain errors from the moment it is published, because we are all only human.  She had the courage to publish enough to get many of us started on our southern Maryland lines, and for that, I thank her, and hope that she finds all of her REALLY REALLY long deceased ancestors in Heaven waiting to give her the scoop.

Yes, there is definitely a connection between Philemon Waters and Captain Edward Waters who married Lady Grace O'Neil ( not the same family as the early Captain James Neale family of Maryland).
