Hi Don, There are two categories that I'm looking at. First is the occupation followed by another column with a descriptive of the occupation. For example, "Salesman" followed by "general store" in the next column or "teamster" followed by "? streets" I'll have to double check my notes. Perhaps I got the name wrong.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Stephenson, Griffith, Rullman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XNB.2ACI/799 Message Board Post: Louisa Temple (Griffith) Stephenson, reported on www.findagrave.com to be buried in Woodland Cemetery, in Richmond, in 1898. However, Louisa was alive in 1900 and was in the home of her daughter, Nellie Stephenson Rullman, in Doniphan County, Ks. Louisa went by Temple on one census that I found. Family legend is that she died while visiting a brother somewhere in Missouri. David Stephenson, spouse of Louisa, died in Doniphan County, Kansas, on 17 May, 1916, and is buried there, and Louisa is not buried with him. David & Louisa were my gr-gr-grandparents. Would like to hear from anyone who has information on Louisa's burial place, and an obituary, and death and burial date.Are there any Griffith families in Ray County? Thank you, Dennis.

Brown who married Peyton Wade about 1903 & had the following children: Orpah, Roxie, Renie, Norman, Opal, Marie, Mary, Raymond, & Donald. I am trying to determine the parentage of Ona M. Brown. One researcher lists her middle name as Myrtus. I have noted an old posting by Jane Downer of Excelsior Springs in which she states that Ona's parents are Giddion Brown and Ida?. Would be interested in speaking with Jane Downer or anyone else with information on the Browns. This has been a brick wall for me. Thank you, Angela

Have you ever wondered what those old time diseases were?

John, I can understand not sending 10 pages worth of info. I do thank you for what you have sent. I believe my ancestor, who died in 1859, may of died from an epidemic. We have a sample of his handwriting and signature from 1855 and, an amendment to his will in 1859 shows a very shaky and disjointed signature. Thank you for taking the time to note some of the major epidemics. I noticed that there was a world-wide influenza epidemic for 1857-59.

Pat, I found a hard copy of the timeline and I hope to type it up soon. It only identified the 1849 St. Louis second cholera epidemic. I searched some more to find out what I was remembering and found a list I collected over the years of epidemics etc. Its 10 pages long so I don't think it would be appreciated here as an attachment but I'll include a few pages from the list that might be helpful. Epidemics in U.S. - 1657 - 1918 If you ever wondered why a large number of your ancestors seemed to disappear during a certain period in history, it may have been due to an epidemic. Epidemics have always had a great influence on people and therefore the genealogists trying to trace them. Many cases of people disappearing from records can be attributed to people dying during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area. Some of the major epidemics in the United States are listed below 1657 Boston: Measles 1687 Boston: Measles 1690 New York: Yellow Fever 1713 Boston: Measles 1729 Boston: Measles 1732-33 Worldwide: Influenza 1738 South Carolina: Smallpox 1739-40 Boston: Measles 1747 Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania & South Carolina: Measles 1759 North America (areas inhabited by white people): Measles 1761-61 North America & West Indies: Influenza 1772 North America: Measles 1775 North America (especially hard in New England): Epidemic (unknown) 1775-76 Worldwide: Influenza 1781-82 Worldwide: Influenza (one of worst flu epidemics) 1788 Philadelphia & New York: Measles 1793 Vermont: Influenza and a "putrid fever" 1793 Virginia: Influenza (kills 500 people in 5 counties in 4 weeks) 1793 Philadelphia: Yellow fever (one of worst) 1783 Delaware (Dover): "extremely fatal" bilious disorder 1793 Pennsylvania (Harrisburg & Middletown): many unexplained deaths 1794 Philadelphia: Yellow fever 1796-97 Philadelphia: Yellow Fever 1798 Philadelphia: Yellow Fever (one of worst) 1803 New York: Yellow Fever 1820-23 Nationwide: "fever" (starts on Schuylkill River, PA & spreads 1831-32 Nationwide: Asiatic Cholera (brought by English emigrants) 1832 New York & other major cities: Cholera 1837 Philadelphia: Typhus 1841 Nationwide: Yellow Fever (especially severe in South) 1847 New Orleans: Yellow Fever 1847-48 Worldwide: Influenza 1848-49 North America: Cholera 1850 Nationwide: Yellow Fever 1850-51 North America: Influenza 1852 Nationwide: Yellow Fever (New Orleans: 8,000 die in summer) 1855 Nationwide (many parts): Yellow Fever 1857-59 Worldwide: Influenza (one of disease's greatest epidemics) 1860-61 Pennsylvania: Smallpox 1865-73 Philadelphia, New York, Boston, New Orleans, Baltimore, Memphis, & Washington D.C.: a series of recurring epidemics of Smallpox, Cholera, Typhus, Typhoid, Scarlet Fever & Yellow Fever 1873-75 North America & Europe: Influenza 1878 New Orleans: Yellow Fever (last great epidemic of disease) 1885 Plymouth, PA: Typhoid 1886: Jacksonville, Fl: Yellow Fever 1918 Worldwide: Influenza (high point year) More people hospitalized in World War I more died from Influenza than wounds.

Thanks for the list of epidemics it is most helpful and is most likely an influencing factor in triggering the immigration patterns found in my families.

Hi John Thank you for reminding me where I found the information on James and Mary. I recorded it back before I was smart about including sources. My cousin Brian Phillips has done the DNA testing. He used the full test and there are a lot of other tests that match the small test but on the full test some differences show up. I chose a James to compare it too. Don't know the significance of the numbers or understand how they work. "My DNA kit number is 29631. The names that match the kit numbers are at the ySearch website or I have the contact info.

Barbee, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I had a copy of a time line of happenings in Ray Co., MO that incl. some of the epidemics through the ages of which there were records. I'll see if I can track that down. The only people that I found in Marion Co., Oregon that might be relatives was the Hiram Taylors. Was your Julia related to that family? I checked what info I had on Phillips in Oregon but didn't find anyone that early. I thought your family was the earliest. My family line is John Griffin Phillips s/o Jack Wesley Phillips s/o Armour Wesley Phillips s/o Joel Johnson Phillips s/o Squire Boone Phillips s/o George Phillips s/o John Phillips s/o James Phillips ( I wrote up a white paper on the John Phillips family that gave some strong indication that James and Mary Phillips of Virginia were the parents of John. I believe I sent that to you some time back. I keep thinking I ought to do the DNA testing as I have a straight male line documented back to John and Amy - I just haven't done it yet.)

The other family story that I haven't tracked down is that: "The first night in Oregon they stayed with relatives in the Willamette Valley and shot a deer from the front porch the next morning" Now who were the relatives that came earlier than 1852?

Hi Patsy, My GGGrandfather, William F. Gant was married to Eliza Queener. They were married 18 Feb 1847 in Ray County Missouri. From information I have found they had 7 children. The 1900 Federal Census states that she was 75 yrs. old and she was born in Feb. 1825 in Tennessee. That was the last census that I found them in. I don't know where they were buried. Do you have that info?

Hi John Appreciated the note about the cholera epidemic in Ray County MO. John Phillips and wife Julia Taylor came to Oregon in 1852. There is a family story that they settled in the foothills of Marion County Oregon away from the river because they feared disease. The other family story that I haven't tracked down is that: "The first night in Oregon they stayed with relatives in the Willamette Valley and shot a deer from the front porch the next morning" Now who were the relatives that came earlier than 1852? Also wonder what John Mason, Mary G Paul's first husband died of only four years after the marriage? Barbee dau of John Sherman and Faith Wagner dau of Peter Edmund Wagner and Elizabeth Ann Phillips dau of Riley Polk Phillips and Elizabeth Abigail Rice son of John Phillips and Julia Ann Taylor son of Jesse Phillips and Mary (Polly) Reatherford son of John Phillips and Amai (unknown) son of a possible James Phillips and Mary On Nov 04, 2005, at 5:28 AM, Phillips, John wrote: > Pat, > > There supposedly was a cholera epidemic in Ray Co., Mo in 1854.
