Looking for descendants of a Thomas BROWN, b 1866 England. His wife's name may have been Hanna and he had a daughter, Anna, b 1892. He had a sister, Jane (Brown) ROHAN, living in Batavia and he is believed to have been living there also sometime between 1920 and 1940. Dorothy

Looking for information on Charles A. WALTON and family. I have a newspaper clipping, undated and unnamed with a dateline Le Roy, June 30, which is titled STROBEL - WALTON. It says, in part, "A pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. And Mrs. Charles A. WALTON on the Asbury road, three miles south of this village at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when their youngest daughter, Miss Gertrude Isabell WALTON, was united in marriage to Harry Christian STROBEL, only son of Mr. And Mrs. Frank H. STROBEL." Maurice WALTON of Linwood and William CLARK, Jr. were listed as nephews of the bride. Adelaide CLARK is listed as a niece. Mrs. Parmaly G. HILL is listed as a sister of the bride. A second newspaper clipping, again undated and unnamed with a dateline of Le Roy, June 17 which is titled WALTON - PENNOCK. It says, in part, "In the home of Mrs. Manley PENNOCK, about seven miles southeast of here this afternoon at 3 o'clock took place the marriage of her daughter, Miss Marie Elizabeth to Irving Weld WALTON, son of Mr. And Mrs. Charles A. WALTON of Le Roy....The best man was Fred WALTON of Palmyra." I would like to know when these events took place and the paper from which these clippings was cut as well as any information about the family. Will gladly share any information that I have on this WALTON family of Ontario, Genesee, Wayne, and Monroe counties. Paul pmcfarla@ewa.com (703)904-5062

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State September 21-1861 -cont'd.- I never complained of my condition, says, the Persian poet Sadi, but once when my feet were bare, and I had no money to buy shoes; but I met a man without feet, and became contented with my lot. ** Developments of the Slave Trade. The New Bedford, (Mass.) papers give full reports of the examination of A.S. BIGELOW and A.H. POTTER, of that city, on the charge of complicity in the slave trade. The ship Burbus, which was subsequently engaged in the traffic, was fitted out and cleared from New Bedford. One of the crew, Milo R. ROBBINS, was called as a witness. He testified that he shipped for a whaling voyage, but on arriving off the African coast the real object of the voyage was announced and the shipment of slaves commenced. ROBBINS testified to the horrors of the middle passage as follows: "On the 14th February last, we came to anchor off a place called Devil's Point, off Congo river, and the next morning we up anchor, ran in near the shore and took our cargo on board--about 600 negroes. There were 700 negroes in all, but about fifty of them were drowned, in getting them off the boats, and the balance we left. We commenced taking in cargo about 8 o'clock a.m., and finished at 5 p.m.--then slipped anchor, leaving both chain and anchor, and steered for the coast of Cuba. Before leaving the African coast we took on board beans, corn, beef, hogs and some goats. The first land we saw was the islands of Martinique and Charlotte, between which we steered. About a week afterwards we came in sight of land and took on board a Spaniard, a pilot. In about a week we landed at Cuba, running the ship aground. Three small boats came on with a Spaniard in each, and with these boats and the ship's two whale boats, we landed the negroes. We landed about five hundred, and they were taken in covered carts about six miles into the country on to a plantation. Many were suffocated in the passage to Cuba, so that out of the seven hundred slaves, we landed somewhere in the vicinity of five hundred--men, women and children. The crew left the vessel as soon as the cargo was landed, leaving on board four or five Spaniards. I saw no more of the vessel, but supposed she was burned, as I saw fire and smoke. They put us in a sugar house, in the upper story, the negroes being confined below, and kept us there eighteen days, until some arrangements were made for sending us in a fishing smack to Key West. All left except JACKSON, the meat, and Thomas JEFFREY, who remained behind, and Frank STANDISH, who died in Cuba. The foremast men and boy were paid $500 each. The mate and steward were left on the coast of Africa, and two men came on board there, both Spaniards, one acting as captain, the other as surgeon. *** submitted by Linda C.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State September 21-1861 Died. In Newberry, Indiana, on the 28th ult., of diptheria, Frances L. BUSH, eldest daughter of Wm. and Olive BUSH, formerly of Batavia, aged 16 years. [At the request of the friends of the deceased we re-publish the above, with the addition of the following obituary.] Fanie was a cherished plant, not only in her father's family, but also in the society of all her friends. But the relentless hand of fate has touched her, and drawn out the central bolt of her parents' love, and laid waste the affections of two fond sisters and many friends. We feel her loss; we miss her in every place of social resort. Her vacant seat in the church waits not her coming, but is occupied by another. In the evening party she is not seen among her friends, her bland countenance is not there, her blithe laugh is not heard. Faithful and prompt as a student, as a school companion, she was even cheerful and gay. It is desirable to die in the middle life and thus shun the infirmities of old age; but how the heart sickens and recoils from the scene, when we see the opening flower scathed and withering with the morning dew yet upon it. Fanie is removed in the strength of her years, and the promise of her days. But, O, it is good to give back the spirit to its Maker, before the feet have learned the paths of sin. She is taken in the innocence of youth with the sweet simplicity of her childhood still lingering about her. We all loved her, and feel ourselves loudly admonished by this seeming premature death, and the uncertainty of human life. Deeply sympathising with the parents of the deceased, we bow in meek submission to the chastening of our Almighty father in this most afflicting bereavement. Lucinda JAMES, Formerly her Teacher. *** submitted by Linda C. Schmidt *********************************************

While your at it, please me sure to send a copy to all your cousins. My Nathan BAKER was married to Mahala SHATTUCK and she died and was buried in Genese Co., N.Y. He remarried Eliza HIGGINS/HUGGINS and had one more child, Warren D. BAKER who married 2nd. Martha (Nellie) E.WELLS. I thank Martha every time I look at the family pictures because she did such a good job labeling them. Without her I'd be no where near where I am today. Nathan was buried next to Eliza VROOMAN and next to her is a broken grave stone of Poly widow of Daniel DEMOTT then is Banner BAKER and his mother, Warren's first wife, Libby A./Elizabeth S. JENNER. After Nathan died, Eliza married two more times and kept pictures from all three families. Martha wrote on the pictures.Grandpa Vrooman Grandma VROOMAN, the next picture was Polly DeMott, Grandma Vrooman's mother ect. ect. many times even writting where the person lived. So down the pictures came to my Half 3 cousin 2 removed. And we found each other because my cousin is named, Nathan Baker and she found him. A few years latter my 5 cousin 1 removed found me and I have his relatives pictures and he has my obituary for Banner BAKER plus a family Bible record. When I get to heaven, I'm going to kiss her feet. :>) I was exspecially trilled when finding a picture of Angeline BAKER who married Joseph Beckwith SHATTUCK . It was the same picture that I have in our collection, except theirs had a name on the back. I had followed this lady threw N.Y. to Wis to MI then to Denver, CO. I've lost count now of the many unnamed pictures that I have that I now know who they are because our long ago family shared their pictures with other relatives and some of them wrote the names on the back and other useful information, dau of so and so, mother of so and so ect. wife of ....Bless them all.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State June 15-1852 -cont'd.- "A Union of Lakes, and a Union of Lands; A Union which none may sever; A Union of hearts, and a Union of hands, Round that flag of our Union forever." * Boy Wanted.--We are in want of a smart and intelligent Boy to learn the Printing Business. We prefer one from the country, and about twelve or fourteen years of age. Apply immediately. * The Genesee Volunteers--How Shall their Pressing Wants be Supplied? It is well known, we suppose, that Capt. ROOT's Company is now with the Syracuse regiment at Washington, and that Capt. COWAN and Capt. FENN's Companies are both located as yet, at Camp Morgan, in or near Albany. While much has been done for the relief and comfort of our Volunteers, by a generous few, the great body of the community have not, we regret to believe, shown that active and efficient interest in their behalf that we had anticipated. This is owing, in a great degree, to the want of a thorough, systematic, and general organization. Out of this village, we are not aware of any committee or society in Genesee County, that devotes itself to this noble purpose, although private individuals have made handsome contributions. We regret, again, that while many individuals, ladies and gentlemen--and especially the ladies--have given generously and freely, there has been a most lamentable want of energy and tact in reaching the hearts and purses of those citizens who reside in other towns or beyond our village limits. Every intelligent man in Genesee County knows, or should know, that the Genesee Volunteers are suffering and sad from the want of proper shirts, under clothing, towels, and many of the necessaries and decencies of life. At present, they are not in many respects as comfortably provided for as the convicts in our prisons. Will not our citizens arouse themselves to this great and pressing work of duty and patriotism. Reader, if you have not done or paid your share to fit out our gallant Genesee Boys in proper style, and to keep them supplied with those little comforts which the soldier so much prizes, then this article MEANS YOU. If the reader happens to be one of those popular and cheap patriots whose voice is breathing war, every day in the Post Office and streets, where he can be best heard, but who has not yet devoted one red cent for the relief of our Volunteers, or their families, then this article MEANS YOU, most emphatically. All thanks and honor to the generous hearted men and women who have done and are still doing their duty in this interesting work, and who are sustaining the credit and good name of Genesee County in this dark and trying hour of our Country's history. *** The Fourth of July at Batavia. We think that it is almost time for the citizens of Batavia and adjoining towns to be stirring and making some arrangements for a meeting, to take into consideration the subject of celebrating the approaching glorious Fourth, in a manner becoming the citizens of this patriotic and loyal County of Genesee. The present crisis in our Nation's history gives to this day of days more of importance and sacredness than it ever possess before, and now if ever should it be commemorated by exercises and ceremonies appropriate to the occasion. When we forget to do honor to the patriotism and daring of our forefathers--when we cease to be anxious to listen to the reading of the Declaration of Independence--when we are slow to assemble to hear Fourth of July Orations--when we are unwilling to join in a "Union of hears and hands," for an old-fashioned Celebration, then may we justly fear for our country's safety. But when, as each Fourth of July comes, we meet around the altar of Freedom, and in patriotic devotion renew our sacred oaths, and consecrate our hearts afresh to the cause in which our forefathers fought, there is no danger of the Country, and the Union and the Constitution will stand every shock. Let us all unite in celebrating the coming Fourth, in a worthy and appropriate manner. *** submitted by Linda C. Schmidt *********************************************

Only thing I would add to that is....use pencil on the photos [ the choice of most archivists], then put them in poly photo sleeves or pages [ light impressions in Rochester, NY has them or ask a photo store]. Then you can put a label [I use cut up blank address labels] on the poly sleeve [ in ink or sharpie or whatever]...Keep photos together with other photos, don't mix them in with paper items. Some acid free pens will still bleed through the photo. I put the poly pages [10 -3x5 photos per page-both sides] into an archival three ring binder album. With the labels on the outside of the photo, there is less handling of the photos and others can easily look through the album.

I have many wonderful pictures I treasure and have scanned them and put them on a CD disk. You can bring the pictures up on your CD disk at anytime and print them or send them via e-mail. You can also have a slide show on the computer so everyone can see them at once. I have burned copies of the CD disk for other family members too. These processes are not difficult to do.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State June 15-1861 Married. At East Bethany, on Thursday morning, June 13th, by Rev. Mr. SHRIGLEY, Mr. B.C. PAGE, Jr., of Batavia, to Miss Annie L. JUDD, of Bethany. *** Died. Died, at his residence in Le Roy, on Monday, the 10th inst., Capt. John LENT, aged 78 years. The subject of this notice was born at Easton Washington county, May 8th, 1783, and removed into the town of Le Roy, in this county, in 1814--taking up his residence upon the spot which he continued to occupy for nearly half a century, and until his decease. The life of Capt. LENT was distinguished by a strict adherence to justice in his dealings, and that integrity which secured to all with whom he maintained business relations, their honest dues, or "weight and measure," as he expressed it. In his intercourse with his friends, and associates, he was singularly kind, amiable, and obliging, and his memory will be treasured the longest by those whose fortune it was to know him most intimately. His death is truly a public loss. Although full of years, his many deeds of kindness and charity, and the honesty of purpose which characterized all his acts, will awake a truly mournful expression throughout the entire community. - 'Le Roy Gazette.' *** submitted by Linda Schmidt *********************************************

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State August 24-1861 -cont'd.- Discovery of Salt in Erie County. The Buffalo 'Courier' learns that a Stock Company organized for boring for oil, near Big Tree Corners in this county, have struck a Salt Spring. The indications of Salt were first discovered at a depth of 60 or 70 feet; but at depth of 100 feet, the salt water became much stronger and apparently more abundant. Four gallons of the water, boiled down, produced nearly two quarts of salt, a sample of which has been shown to us. We have no means of knowing how abundant this spring may prove; but the discovery of a salt spring so near Buffalo, is an item of interest. ++ The Agricultural Society.--In our next issue we purpose to publish for our farmer friends, the Premium List offered by the Genesee Co.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State August 24-1861 Army Correspondence. We publish another letter from James M. REDFIELD, a private in the 4th Regt. of Michigan Volunteers, to his father, H. J. REDFIELD, of this village. The letter is interesting in showing the privations and hardships of the practical patriotism of the young Democratic soldier, who determined to earn a Commission before asking for one, shoulders his knapsack and musket and marches to the battle field, in contrast with that sentimental patriotism which is satisfied with an exhibition of flags, cravats and songs of the "Red, White and Blue." It is but a few weeks since these sentimental patriots involved the public indignation against an old and respectable citizen for non conformity--i.e., putting the stars and stripes out of the window of his house, and, at the dictation of an insolent rabble, join in singing, in the dead of the night, the "Red, White and Blue." How few of these sentimental patriots have assumed the duties of the soldier. Listen and you may hear them whisper--"were it not for these vile guns, I myself would have been a soldier." Camp Union, Va., Aug. 13th, '61. My Dear Father, I received your very kind letter of the 9th inst., yesterday, and I assure you it received a very hearty welcome. I can scarcely thank you for publishing my poorly written and composed letters, still do as you have a mind to with them. you flatter when you deem them fit to appear before the public. I have received the papers you sent me, I only wish I could express to you my gratitude for them--anything in the shape of reading matter, especially newspapers, is highly appreciated by us soldiers, whose stock of reading is so small. You will see from the heading of this that we have changed camp grounds since last I wrote, and that we are again in Virginia; the advance Regiment. We left Meridian Hill about six o'clock last Thursday morning, on an order the day before, and are now encamped about two miles and one half from Georgetown, nearly west. Our camp, which we have styled "Camp Union," is very prettily situated on a clover patch near the road, and I judge it will prove by far a healthier one than was our last. Already in fact the men have commenced regaining their good spirits, which when we were on the Hill, they had quite lost. Just before we came here we were Brigaded in Sherman's Brigade, with three other Regiments, a body of Cavalry and what was formerly Sherman's, since Ayres' Battery. We have been furnished with a blue uniform in place of our grey one, which bore too close a resemblance to that of the Secessionists; also new guns, with which (being minie muskets) I think we can do better execution that we could with our old Harper's Ferry muskets. We have had very heavy rain for the last two days, and our camp, now is almost afloat. It is raining so hard we are obliged to be in our tents, and in order to keep our few little articles dry, to pile them up in the wter on boxes or something else, and cover them with our rubber blankets. These tents of ours are not of the best kind. They leak like a sieve when it rains hard, and sitting in them under such circumstances, is like taking a shower bath with our clothes on. I was out on picket guard night before last. On our last picket 2 1/2 or 3 miles from Falls Church, it rained very hard all night, which made guard duty an arduous one. We were posted in the edge of the woods near a barricade across the road, and I stood nearly all night with the water as high as the tops of my shoes; I came back a little the worse for wear I can assure you, and have no desire to go picket again when it rains. We are constantly expecting an attack from the rebels, and are obliged to be constantly prepared to repel one. Last Friday night we were alarmed about 10 o'clock, and in seven minutes the whole Regiment was drawn up in line of battle; ours was the first company on the ground. Saturday, as we were on dress parade about six in the evening, we received orders to march to the railroad, near which one of our pickets had just been severely wounded, to repel an expected attack; marched there, 2 1/2 miles, in quick time, laid on our arms nearly two hours, and returned again to camp without getting a shot. J.M.R. ++ The People Moving--Meeting in Darien. A meeting was held at Darien Center, on Saturday the 17th inst., for the purpose of consultation in regard to the condition of the country, and the circumstances in which we are now involved. It was understood that those who initiated the movement, were decidedly opposed to an unconditional prosecution of the war, and it was expected that the meeting would be composed mainly of those who occupy this position. At the hour appointed for the meeting, a large and respectable gathering of the citizens of Darien and adjoining towns had assembled. The meeting was called to order by Alanson FISHER, Esq., on whose motion E. LOSEE was called to preside, H.M. McINTYRE appointed Secretary. On motion of Jas. G. SHEPARD of Alexander, F. TENNY of Alden, C. PEARSON of Benington, D.J. LEE of Darien, and A. WEBB of Pembroke, were appointed a Committee to prepare Resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the meeting. Mr. SHEPARD, from the Committee, presented the following Resolutions, which after an elaborate and earnest discussion, in which Messrs. PERRY, SHEPARD, KIDDER, GRIFFITH, LINCOLN, and others participated, were unanimously and enthusiastically adopted: Resolved, That the unnatural and fratricidal war in which our country is now unhappily involved, has been brought upon us by the unholy ambition of a few men at the North and at the South, who by appealing to the passions and prejudices of their respective sections, have aroused a spirit of hostility to the government and its institutions, which threatens to involve all in one common ruin. Resolved, That the legally constituted authorities of the federal government, are entitled to the support of the American people, for the purpose of maintaining the unity and integrity of the government, and for no other purpose; that in the prosecution of the war for that purpose, private rights should be scrupulously protected, and all of our constitutional obligations sacredly maintained and discharged. Resolved, That the call of the New York Independent, and other official organs of the National Administration, urged by a large portion of the Republican press of the Country, and by the Republican Central Club of the City of New York, for "immediate and unconditional emancipation," is treason to the Constitution, and must, if persisted in eventuate in the overthrow and destruction of the best government ever instituted among men. That if any such effort should be attempted by the Administration, it will be the duty of the citizens, as it will be the dictate of patriotism, to rise in the majesty of their strength, and hurl from power the men who have obtained it, by a betrayal of the best hopes and dearest interests of the human race. Resolved, That our government can be maintained and perpetuated only by administering it in the spirit of conciliation, concession and compromise in which it was established, and has hitherto been sustained; that the Republican organization is based upon opposition to the Constitution, as expounded by the authority of the Constitution itself; and without this position is abandoned by the party now in power, all hope or expectation of perpetuating our government must be at an end. Resolved, That this war with all its attendant horrors and sacrifices of blood and treason, the destruction of commerce, prostration of business, bankruptcy, poverty and crime of thousands upon thousands, with the grinding system of taxation that must fall upon future generations--could and should have been avoided by such concessions as true patriots and real statesmen are ever ready and willing to make, and that such concessions must yet be made before we can expect a termination of the war. The evidence which is rapidly accumulating, of a determination on the part of a large portion of the Republican party, if not of the federal administration itself, to make the war a pretext for the emancipation of slavery, was forcibly and earnestly presented by the various speakers; and on this point there was but one sentiment manifested by the meeting, and that was determined opposition to any and every purpose of this kind. A desire for a restoration or reconstruction of the Union, was strongly manifested by the entire audience, but it was thought by most of the speakers that this result would be much more likely to be accomplished by propositions of peace and reconciliation, than by the unreasoning argument of war. An excellent feeling and general harmony prevailed; altogether it was one of the most interesting and respectable political meetings ever held in Darien. On motion of Mr. GRIFFITH, it was ordered that the proceedings of the meeting be furnished the Batavia 'Spirit of the Times' for publication, with a request that other papers that sustain the positions here taken, copy. E. LOSEE, Chairman. H.M. McINTYRE, Sec'y. ++ A Short-Way to Make Money.--The military chest of the rebel General GARNETT which was captured by our troops, was found to consist of the unsigned notes of the Fairmount Bank. The president of the bank accompanied General GARNETT, as one of his staff, signing such quantities of the notes as were wanted from time to time. +++ The "Regulator's" New Version of "Old Dan Tucker." We've often hear it said of late, That the Cheapest Store in New York State Is kept by Bierce the Regulator, Who for cheap goods knows how to cater. Get out of the way, you old slow fogies, Get out of the way, you old slow fogies, Get out of the way, you old slow fogies, You'r only fit to sell fresh porgies! This Miles for business ne'er relaxes, Nor gives a thought on the high taxes; While the Old Fogies they are croaking, He's round New York for bargains poking, Buying his goods at panic prices, Buying his goods at panic prices, Buying his goods at panic prices, Sugars, Teas, Nutmegs, and Spices! When Colonel Miles went into battle, And while the cannon loud did rattle, To buoy his spirits he kept handy A bottle of the best pale brandy. He kept himself in such seclusion, He kept himself in such seclusion, He kept himself in such seclusion, That he could not see his men's confusion! But Yankee Miles is the commander, That stands the fire like a Salamander; And while supported in Batavia, His cry is "friends I ne'er shall leave you." Of our Captain daily we feel prouder, Of our Captain daily we feel prouder, Of our Captain daily we feel prouder, He's plenty of Hyson and Gunpowder! He's just returned from New York City, And all agree that it is a pity, To see so many merchants breaking-- And all by rebels---our flag forsaking. But from such traitors as Jeff. Davis, But from such traitors as Jeff. Davis, But from such traitors as Jeff. Davis, And Beauregard, Old Abe will save us. For all your folks about enlisting, My camp outfit there's no resisting; And e'er you start to kill those varmints, Just call and get some under garments. Plain and ribbed, both wool and cotton, Plain and ribbed, both wool and cotton, Plain and ribbed, both wool and cotton, By Miles you see you're not forgotten! Now girls stop a while from flirting, And make your brothers lots of shirting, They should be supplied in the best manner, To support that glorious "Spangled Banner." Those sons of freedom sent to save us, Those sons of freedom sent to save us, Those sons of freedom sent to save us, From rebel traitors like Jeff. Davis! Now parents you whose sons are leaving, Caution them for to be saving, And ere they leave Genesee County, With the Regulator leave the Bounty! Before they move to put down traitors, Before they move to put down traitors, Before they move to put down traitors, Supply them well with Boots and Gaiters! Miles H. BIERCE. +++ submitted by Linda C. Schmidt *********************************************
