I have no connection to the Shea Family that I know of in a genealogy manner. I also know that this list is about genealogy. However, I think that the success today of Jim Shea as a gold medal Olympian, first gold medal is skeleton since 1948, and a third generation of the family in the Olympic games does rate notation in the archives of research. Perhaps someday, someone will be inspired by these archives and find joy in the legacy of the family. As an American, and someone that does research in Essex County, NY, I think that the family has left a true legacy. From triumph to tragedy and back to triumph. One can't help feeling the heart ache for the family at the loss of their 91 year old patriarch just 11 days before the opening of the games due to an automobile accident involving an accused drunken driver. With the win today one also can't help being moved by their bittersweet success too. Thanks for allowing me to clog up your email with just one more NYESSEX-L message! Lisa

There was never the step-mother connotation used - she was mother pure and simple. Perhaps this was partly because with the exception of Parke the boys were quite young. This was only partly true, however, for she took over the role of mother so well that there was no break. >From genealogy notes of J.R. Murdock 2. John Campbell Murdock b. March 24, 1841 d.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YRB.2ACE/42.89.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank-you for this great information. I am trying to find out the names and birthdates of Samuel F. Murdock's children. Also I had a question---I thought Samuel's wife's maiden was Laura Howe. I thought she was the adopted daughter of Juba Howe. Do I have this Laura mixed up with someone else? I noticed that your records show Laura as being a Snell. Anyways I just found some information on James A. Murdock's service in the NY 5th Regiment Calvary Co. H. I thought it was interesting and will share here. It is from "Crown Point, New York, In The Civil War" Compiled by Elmer Eugene Barker 1961. Barker quotes this episode from some remininces of Elmer Barker (a soldier in the NY 5th): "Another instance of the treatment of private property in time of war concerns the behavior of two Crown Point men. They exhibited a nobility of character and a bravery greater, perhaps, than shown in facing the perils of battle. Barker [Elmer Barker] tells: 'One night while encamped near Bridgewater northeast of Staunton, Colonel Megs, one of Sheridan's staff officers, was shot and killed near headquarters. It was supposed to have been done by somebody who pretended to be a citizen, or by some of Mosby's men. The next morning General Sheridan issued an order to burn every house within a radius of two miles. This included the village of Bridgewater. People began immediately moving things out of their houses. No men were at home, only women and children. It seemed to me a most cruel order. Very soon I was ordered to take my company and burn a large brick house near our camp, which I refused to do. Major Krom, commanding the regiment, argued with me. I told him I did not come down there to burn houses over defenseless women and children, and refused to obey his order. This was a serious matter for an officer to refuse to obey orders, and Major Krom was so nonplussed, he did not know what to do. Finally he rode over to Division Hea! dquarters and reported to General Custer, who told Krom to place me under arrest, which he did. Then the command devolved on Lieutenant JAMES MURDOCK. Krom ordered him out and he refused to obey the order. He also was placed under arrest. While this was going on the order was countermanded. My stubbornness saved several homes, but my fate was unsettled. All this time Lieutenant Murdock and I were following along under arrest, but we still retained our arms...' During the next few days the regiment was very active and engaged in considerable fighting, these two officers still being under nominal arrest. Their insubordination had occurred about the 28th of September, but no action had been taken on it. [From Elmer Barker again]: 'On October 18 Lieutenant Murdock and four or five of my company whose time had expired, were discharged and returned home.' (Pages 32-33). Barker, whose enlistment was not up, ended up staying and was put back into command of the second battalion which went right into the battle of Cedar Creek. Isn't that an interesting bit of history on James Murdock? I am still reading through this book and if I find any more info on James Murdock---I will surely let you know. Thanks for all the great info. Do you by any chance know the names and birthdates of Samuel F. Murdock's children?

Surnames: Murdock, Foote Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YRB.2ACE/42.89.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: At the age of twenty-one, James A. Murdock joined a volunteer unit, the 5th N.Y. Calvary, of Company H was mustered at Crown Point, and for the next four years was a Union Soldier and Officer of the Civil War. He was promoted through all non-commissioned ranks and was comissioned 2nd Lieutenant and 1st Lieutenant. He was in command of his company before the close of the war. He fought at most of the important engagements, but for his record, the reader is referred to the history of the 5th N.Y. Calvary. His youth was arrested by the events of 1860 and from the age of twenty-one to that of twnety-five, he was seared, hardenedand aged by the horrors of war. He must have been thoroughly sickened and disgusted by the experience because, honored though he had been, he promptly threw away or gave away most of his Army accountrements, never joined the G.A.R., and rarely could he be drawn into telling of any war time stories. While in the service, letters from his sister Anna, then attending the academy at Middlebury, Vermont, were augmented by letters from her roommate Emma J. Parks of Cornwall, Vermont, a talented young woman whose love for poetry and art is still recorded by numerous poems and paintings in the possession of her children. The correspondence between the Union Officer somewhere inDixie and the school girl in Vermont nurtured a romance and shorlty after his return, they were married. His age was 26 and her age 22. Upon some two hundred acres contibuted by his father - a part of the original acreage of his grandfather, Judge Murdock - and only some two hundred yards westward from the site of his grandfather's stone house, he shortly set about building a large frame farm house surmounted by a cupalo in the popular style of the period. The arduousness of this work can now be comprehended with difficulty. For many months, he has related, he seldom saw his young wife by daylight. The duties of the farm, long trips to a mill by team for lumber and timbers and the building of his new home took him away before daylight and kept him long after dark. Happier years followed. A son was born before the house was completed and three more came to brighten the new home. Infrequent days of recreation were invariably for the benefit of the children, where at country fair or circus, his quizzical but never boisterous good humor enlivened the occasion for the youngsters. But on February 1, 1882, his wife Emma Parks, suddenly died at the age of 38. It was perhaps providential that there had been a boarding in the home, a young woman, the daughter of Rev. Charles A. Beaudry (a Methodist pastor and former Army Chaplain), Celeste A. Beaudry, who was teaching at the nearby district school. Already known and loved by the children, it was most natural that with the passing of the shock and bereavement of his loss, James Murdock should find his heart following those of his children toward their new mother - on Sept. 20, 1883, they were married. Celeste Beaudry was at the time twenty-five years of age, James was forty-four years old. Three children came from this union during the next seven years, and the seven children grew up as one family, made to feel by the new mother totally unconscious of anything less than a full relationship. After an illness of less than a year, he died on Feb 7, 1900 at the age of sixty-one, five children were still living at home at the time. >From Genealogy notes of Robert B. Murdock, VIII Generation >From "MURDOCK GENEALOGY" by Joseph B. Murdock, Boston, C.E.Goodspeed & Co., 1925. pg.

He read considerably, especially in his latter years, was always well informed on current events and acquired wealth of knowledge not identified with his vocation as a farmer. he had a kindly, genial dispostion and his clear, untroubled eyes bespke a man of wisdom and good-will. He was a medium or even less than medium height, and more than average weight without being corpulent. His appearance was widely different from his older brother Jim, who was taller and more angular. In disposition, they were also unalike. The two, however fared well as partners and with their father's guidance soon doubled the property he had acquired and farmed it all more intensely. The congenial nature and kindly wisdom of Samuel Foote (1st) was due in some part no doubt to this period and to the circumstances of his life. Up to the last two decades of his life, economice conditions in general had been favorable to farming and in the middle life he profited by the boom prices of the Civil War when, as an example, we and his brother recieved $1.00 a pound for the wool from their flock of 2000 sheep. With his brother, Jim he recieved a large productive sure-crop farm plant from his father, and up to the age of 45 had his father at his side for advice and aid. On a site one mile south from the old forts and some hundred yards eastward from the highway, he purchased a rambling, one and a half story farm house in the early New England style. This location was a short quarter mile northward from his father's home, also occupied by his brother, Jim, following the burning of Judge Murdock's stone house a mile to the southward. In this new home he lived out his life. When his two sons and the two eldest sons of his brother, Jim, reached maturity, they were each given a farm of about two hundred and fifty acres, cut from the acreage accumulated by Judge Murdock and extended by his sons. Sometime prior to this, the sites of the old Forts. St. Frederick and Crown Point with some two hundred adjacent acres had been sold and Samuel Foote Murdock (1st) retained several hundred acres until his death. Samuel Foote Murdock (1st) was during his entire life an active member and usually on the Board of the First Congregational Church of Crown Point. " He had what must have been even in that time and place, a remarkable turnout, a closed carriage - a coach - with box for the drivers and with an interior upholestered in white brocade. ( I saw this old coach some 30 years ago (from date of 1939), then rather the worse for wear.)" >From Genealogy Notes of Robert B. Murdock, VIII Generation 1839 - Churchhill's sale of the property to JAMES AND SAMUEL MURDOCK contains the first pronouncement advocating the preservation of this site. In the tranfer, he stipulates that future owners, being the Murdocks and beyond, could neither "Do or suffer to be comitted on said premises any kind of waste by tearing down any of the ramparts or walls or carrying away any of the material of which the erections on the said premises are composed." He also included a stipulation which stated "That if it shall at any time happen that the Government of the United States or the Government of New York State shall desire...to purchase the premises....for military", it could; for the some of $230.

Murdock, VIII Generation Karen, I would suspect Your Elijah Foote is somehow related to Mehitable Foote/David of Cornwall.......I don't have any info on the Raine's but a lot on the Foote's.......you may want to go to Rootsweb, addison county vt, homepage, there is a copy of Abigail Hemenway's gazzeeteer 1860, that is scanned and posted for research. There are many Footes in these pages, you may find what you are looking for, maybe Raines too. I have come accross Raine spelled "Ranne" also in some history's of essex county. Occasionnally on ebay, if your do a search of Crown Point NY on ebay or Lake Champlain, some one will have up for bid: Lighthouses book or sometimes Women Lighthouse keepers. I am assuming that because these books are posted in these categories that there must be something about Lake champlain Lighthouse in them.... I talked to Lib Skinner yesterday, she was Crown Point Historian, I mentioned that you replied to a Murdock posting and thinks she might know you.......... How are you related to the Murdock's? thru James Artemas? I am related thru Katie Murdock/Moore of Crown Point, Her father Andrew Young Murdock, James Murdock, Samuel Murdock........etc.......... Do you know of any asssocation of Raine's with the Trimble's? Trimbles are from Orange county NY, circa 1780ish when they came into Crown Point Ti area....it is a long shot but try the orange county website.....there is a cluster of families from that area that came up to essex county...Dealls, etc... I would love any info that you would be able to share, as I said I have much more on allied lines of the wives families, associated with Murdocks, ie Buckingham's, Maverick, Fithian, Griswold, Hosmer, Tully and a few others.......that I can share too..........I look forward to hearing from you.....I don't have a website, so I figured can post my info here so that others can use it........we can communicate thru here and thru email if you would like..........Thank You!!

Do you think that they are related to the Foote's from Murdock Point----Crown Point? Do you know anything about the Crown Point Lighthouse? I have been doing some research on the lighthouse and on the first keeper there---Captain James Raine---father of Carrie who married Elijah Bristol Foote. I also have a copy of the index from National Archives that shows Samuel Murdock was given an official commission to the lighthouse in September 1861. He stopped in 1862. I believe that he took the commission to help James Raine--who had enlisted in the NY 5th Regiment Calvary Co. H. Raine's wife Anna continued to run the lighthouse in his absence and I believe that Samuel Murdock sought the commission to lighthouse to help her out. I have a copy of his removal and Raine's reappointment for 1862 from the National Archives. I also have a copy of the sale of the land from Samuel and Laura Murdock to the US government for the purpose of establishing lighthouse dated November 1857.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YRB.2ACE/42.91 Message Board Post: In 1808 Samuel Murdock and his wife Sally Foote established their house near the south end of Crown Point peninsula. Samuel lived on this land and he served Essex County for 20 years as county sheriff and judge of the county court. He had at least 2 sons: Samuel and James. They kept the land in the family for most of their lives except for 10 acres that was sold to the US government for the purpose of establishing a lighthouse. This sale occurred on Nov 24, 1856 and was sold by Samuel and his wife Laura Murdock. The lighthouse was built and completed in 1858 with its first lighting in 1859. Samuel had an official commission to the lighthouse Sept 1861-Feb 1862. James Murdock married Elizabeth Trimble and they lived in the old stone barracks (part of Fort St. Frederic) for a number of years. The peninsula was the home of the Murdock clan for a number of years. Some of this land had come from the Foote family through the marriage of Samuel (the judge) to Sally Foote. The Murdocks owned a considerably large tract of land. It was prime lakefront property. Samuel the son of the judge--ran a ferry from near the end of the peninsula to Chimney Point, Vermont I believe. (Larabee's point?) Anyway he ran the ferry for a number of years. The acreage was also used to farm and I believe that they had large cleared areas for farming. I am also seeking more information about the Murdock family of Crown Point. Does anyone have any info?
