Stiles Fairchild 1802 Ct - 1861 Greene, Chenango Co, s/o Billey Fairchild and Anna Stiles (Billey's 1st wife), married 5 March 1823 Clarissa Wiley. Stiles and Clarissa are my 3x great grandparents. 16 Nov 1848 Clarissa filed for a divorce. Clarissa then moved to Susquehanna Co Pa and married 2nd Daniel VanAntwerp. Daniel was the father of son-in-law David VanAntwerp, h/o Lucinda Fairchild. Clarinda Fairchild b. 1824, d/o Stiles and Clarissa, m. Remembrance Jesse Lacey b 1817. R J and Clarinda Lacey are my 2x great grandparents. Is there anyone who knows the parents of Clarissa Wiley Fairchild VanAntwerp ? Note to John: I did receive the first message, and good luck in your search. evelyn

Evelyn, Many thanks for your response. Yes, there is?a definite possibility Anna married a Fairchild from Dutchess County before she moved to Chenango.? Her parents, Martin and Rebecca (Judd) Preston, are interred on East (Preston) Mountain, near Dover. While her sister Abigail remained in Dutchess Co., another sister, Elizabeth, married Gideon Kennedy and removed, via Rensselaer Co., to Onondaga County by 1820 (appears in that census as Gideon Canada). I have not checked the 1855 census to see what county Rebecca Fairchild Blackman was born in.

Anna Fairchild appears as head of family in German, Chenango County in 1820.? While she does not appear as a HOF in 1830, it is known that she was still living at that time. Anna & ____ had a daughter Rebecca (1798-1865), who married Roswell Blackman and were living in Pitcher, Chenango Co., in 1850. Who did Anna (nee Preston) marry?? A likely candidate is Truman Fairchild, who appears in German in 1810, but not in 1820.? Also seeking siblings of Rebecca.

There is of course father and mother but after that even with siblings it becomes a bear. There are words for older sister, older brother, younger sister and younger brother. Words that a Chinese person would know exactly which relative you are speaking of as each has its own particular word. In English we are not that imaginative. We have parents, siblings (brother or sister), cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

My new daughter gets a kick out of my pronouncing Chinese words, corrects it and rewrites symbols that don't meet her approval. The Chinese I do have has helped when pictures, pointing or English don't quite get the point across. As my daughter starts her 3rd week of school we wonder where our conversation will go next as she is also taking Spanish, which will be her 4th language after 2 dialects of Chinese and English.

I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the MUDGE and DAY Families of Michigan. The first is a photograph of Miss Oma MUDGE with Laura & Frances DAY of Morgan, MI. The photograph is dated 1904 with Oma likely in her teens or 20's and the two DAY girls about 6 to 12 years old at the time. The second photograph is identified as Mrs. Ruth K. MUDGE (age 89 years), L. E. MUDGE (age 53 years), and Philena Ruth Sandidge MUDGE (age 4 months) when the photograph was taken in Aug 1907. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family: Oma E. MUDGE b. 16 Oct 1878 in MI to parents Lorenzo E. MUDGE and Rachael J. DAY. Oma married Asa N. WILCOX (b. 1880 in Barry Co., MI) on 25 Dec 1906 at Maple Grove, MI. Oma died in Caro, MI. Laura DAY b. 8 Apr 1895 in Crystal, MI and Frances DAY b. 12 Aug 1898 in Crystal, MI to parents David DAY (b. 16 Jan 1860) and Minda SANDIDGE (b. 1866) Philena Ruth Sandidge MUDGE b. 16 Apr 1907 to parents Lorenzo E. MUDGE (b. 6 Oct 1853 in Castleton, MI) and Minda SANDIDGE. Philena married Theodore DUTMER on 14 Oct 1934 and had a son Theodore DUTMER. Lorenzo Edward MUDGE b. 6 Oct 1853 in Barry Co., MI to parents Lorenzo Edward MUDGE (b. 26 Dec 1809 in VT) and Ruth King HYDE (b. 10 May 1818 in NY). Lorenzo 1st married Rachel J. DAY on 7 Nov 1855 and they had two children, Oma E. MUDGE b. 16 Oct 1878 in Crystal, MI; and Earl L. MUDGE b. 26 May 1880 in Crystal, MI. Lorenzo's 2nd marriage was to Minda SANDIDGE on 28 Nov 1900 in Crystal, MI and they had 1 daughter, Philena Ruth Sandidge MUDGE noted above. Ruth King HYDE b. 10 May 1811 in Marcellus, NY the daughter of Eliphalet HYDE (b. 21 Sept 1778 in Whitingham, VT) and Jane "Jennie" WALKER (b. 11 Jun 1783 in Chenango Co., NY). She married Lorenzo MUDGE on 17 Jun 1844 in Barry Co., MI and together they had 7 children, Helen A.; Alice; Allie Ruth; Lorenzo E.; Airain or Niram; Mina; and Armena MUDGE all born between 1849 and 1862 in MI.
