Hello, I have a question about men in the Civil War. When my Robert STOKEN came to America from Canada in 1858, he was about 53 years old. Would men in their mid to late 50s be required to enlist? Thanks for any direction, Randy

This poem was written by Elenore ( Irwin ) WILLIAMS of Tustin, Michigan in August 1911 when she was 69 years old. She died in 1927 at the age of 85 in Tustin. Elenore was born in Byron Center in 1842 to David and Margaret (Gunn) IRWIN. THE PIONEER BARN RAISING In 1848 my father built a barn near Byron Center, On the “Old Stonehouse Farm.” John BARNEY was the carpenter, Who built the barn complete. He said, “ Johnny cake and deer meat”, Them days was no treat. For this pioneer barb raising, Father barbecued a deer. And some of those same old settlers, Today are with us here. For brother David had invited, Friends and neighbors to the farm. To have a real good visit, And re-raise father’s pioneer barn. I went down to Byron Center, To visit my old dear home, And saw many familiar faces. Around the place my father owned. After they had all arrived, There were one hundred and thirty three. And to my delight, Many of them remembered me. John BARNEY is with us today, As has already been told. He framed and built this barn for father, sixty three years ago. Calvin GIBBS is the carpenter, Who made over the barn his way, And this is the barn that we, Are going to re-raise today. He said I never shot a deer, And never carried a gun, And when started off to work, He always went on the run. George S. THOMAS, was one of the pioneers there, And with him are his wife ( Julia ), and daughters fair ( Nellie and Eva ) There was Robert WILLIAMS, a soldier of ‘61 Who told of the battle at Gettysburg, And how the fight was won. Messers. HAMILTON, GREEN, and UTTER, All soldiers in ‘63, They came down to raise the the barn, And chatted a while with me. Here is William TAYLOR of mine, Well he remembers when they cut the tall pine. They drew the logs to the town of Heth, Where some of the people lived, who didn’t starve to death. Adam ANDRES and his wife, Way from Salem came. They are old and feeble, But are with us just the same. Brother David could not give us venison to eat. So he went out into the meadow and selected a nice fat sheep. After a while sister Mary said, “ I will cook the mutton steak”, If Eilien and Julia, Will make the Johnny cake. Eva made the coffee, While Nellie cooked the beans, Lottie and Rachel set the table, While Hallie and Rebecca filled tureens, When supper was ready, It just suited me. For Johnny cake and mutton, nowadays you seldom see. When I looked over the table, Out under the shady tree, I saw seated all around it, Faces all good to see. Henry SKINNER helped the ladies out a lot, For you know he is very handy, Where there is a coffee pot, Seated at one side of the bench, At this barn raising feast, Were a Brother MCGINNIS, And a Roman Catholic Priest. The only accident happened, To mar this festive day, Was when the bench broke, And they all hit the hay. A wheel barrow being handy, It soon was fixed alright. We had a grand old visit, And with handshakes went on our way. All hoping to meet together, At some future day.

The dates and ages don't match. HOwever, my Wm C. Jakeways did have a daughter Mary, but she wasn't born until after 1800. I have written an extensive amount of my research and findings in another reply under the same Re: Jakeways of Parnell, in response to Susan Barburs message. Sorry that this may not be the William you are searching for. However, if any of the information given on William C.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kFB.2ACE/665.921.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Thanks for your reply to my message. I have actually located a great amount of information on William C. Jakeway, but there appear to be some differences from what I have found and your information. First of all, I do have the same cemetery located as William C. Jakeways final resting place, that is in Alton Cemetery in Vergennes, in Kent county, MI. Howver, from what I have located as being shown on the headstone shows William as having died in 1866, not 1848. As I have not viewed the headstone myself, I cannot guarantee its accuracy, but the rest of the information which I have found regarding William C. Jakeway all seem to match the dates of the cemetery record I have found. Also, as to his marriage to Molly Perkins, that is also new to me. Do you have any idea of when they were married? The records I have all show his being married to Mary Case, and I have four known children by her, with one additional son which I have not been able to fully prove. However, Mary died in 1845, but William would have been 75 years old at that time, so I doubt that he had additional children after that time. I am very curious about the dates and timeframe for which you are showing his marriage to Molly Perkins, as well as when their daughter Roxanna was born. Right now the only logical conclusion is that they were married prior to his marriage to Mary Case, but in the 1800 census only one son is shown. I am wondering if their could be two William C. Jakeways, or perhaps your ancestor was another William, but without using the C.? I have come accross a few other William Jakeways (Jaquays, etc.) in my research that were around at that time. Below is a summary of the information I have about William C. Jakeway: WILLIAM C. JAKEWAY (Jaques) Born: Aug 9, 1770 Rhode Island Died: Sept 11, 1866 Headstone Inscription: Jakeway, Wm. C. d. Sept 11, 1866; at 96 years. 1 mo. 2 days Alton Cemetery, Vergennes Township, Kent County, MI Married: Mary Case m. abt 1795-1800 b. 1774 d. 1845 Children: Varnum b. Apr-02-1796, Mishnook Pond, RI d. Dec-2-1852, Augusta, NY -buried Licking Co, Ohio Nathaniel ??(not yet definitely known as a child of William C. and Mary) Hannah b. Jun-12-1802, Vergenes Mary b. 1806, Vergenes m. Edward Burleson, b. RI 1803 settled in Stockbridge, NY in 1815. Sarah b. Nov-09-1810, Vergenes d. Aug-26-1856 m. Ira Burleson b. about 1809 d. Apr-18-18818 The following is a excerpt from a book written by Gwen Ullo based on information she has obtained from family records, census information, and land records: "William is known to have resided at least a short time in the county known as Kent County. Among the residents there on 1790 is a man by the name of Amos Jaques. Though definite proof has yet to be found, this may be the father of William. Nothing is known of William's early life as a child. However, he is believed to have married Mary Case (also born about 1775) around the year 1795. Their eldest son, Varnum, was born near the small town of Mishnook Pond in West Greenwich Township on April 2, 1796. Soon after the birth of their first child, Varnum, they prepared to follow the movement of immigrants west into new lands. From Providence, Rhode Island, they are assumed to have followed the Olds Roebuck Road, traveling some sixty miles in a north by northeast direction until they reached Boston, Massachusetts. Here they would make final preparations for the long journey facing them over five hundred miles." 1800 CENSUS, Augusta, Oneida, New York WILLIAM C. JAKEWAYS 1 Male under 10, 1 Male 16-25, 1 Female 16-25 (based on birth dates, these are likely as follows: Varnum, William C., and Mary (Case) Jakeways, respectively) 1830 CENSUS, Augusta, Oneida, New York WILLIAM C. JAKEWAY 1 Male 50-60, 2 Females 15-20, 1 Female 20-30, 1 Female 50-60 (Based on birth dates, these are likely as follows: William C., Mary and Sarah, Hannah, and Mary (Case) Jakeways respectively) 1850 CENSUS, Stockbridge, Madison, New York JAKEWAY, WILLIAM C.

Rhode Island Hannah Jakeway 79, Female, b. Mahechetts Calieta Brown 38, Female, b. New York 1860 CENSUS, Stockbridge, Madison, New York JAKEWAY, WILLIAM C. State: NY Year: 1860 County: Madison County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: St.Ockbridge Page: 479 Database: NY 1860 Federal Census Index Wm C. Jakeway 89, Male, Farmer, b. Rhode Island Hannah 88, Female, b. Massachucetts Based on the information found in the 1850 and 1860 Census', it appears that after Mary died in 1845, that William C. likely remarried Hannah ____. As they also have a Calieta Brown living with them, who is about the right age to be a child of Hannah, it appears possible that Hannah was married previously to perhaps a ____ Brown. However, this has not been confirmed except through analysis of the 1850 and 1860 census records. Of additional note: A Nathan, or Nathaniel Jakeway was living in Augusta an listed on the 1830 census, and then reappears on the 1850 census in the same town as William C. Jakeway once again. It appears possible that Nathaniel might be a son of William C. and a brother to Varnum. Additionally, a Nathaniel Jakeway of the same age is buried in the Knoxboro Cemetery, along with Mary Jakeway-believed to be William C.'s first wife, and Sussannah Burleson Jacques (Varnum's first wife). It makes logical sense that William C. at aged 79 would be living close to another immediate relative, such as a son or daughter. William C. and Nathaniel are listed next to each other on the same page of the 1850 Census in Stockbridge, Madison, New York.. I had often wondered about the reason for William C. Jakeway's being buried in MI, when it seemed he had lived most of his life in New York, but then I located a James Jakeway who was from New York that moved to Kent County, MI, who was born in 1819, in New York. This date matches the location and time for when Varnum Jakeway's son James was born. While not yet proven, it appears likely that the James Jakeway who settled in Kent county was William C. Jakeway's grandson, and likely his closest living relative at the time William died in 1866. I have the sources for the other information I have provided regarding William C. Jakeway, as well as land records in New York, and other census records not shown above. What I am really trying to locate now is a will or probate record, I believe that would solve a lot of the mysteries I am presently working on. I hope this information helps, and I would love to hear back from you regarding the information you have regarding Molly Perkins and Roxanna, as well as their decendants.
