It does confirm what I had only a sketchy notion of. The use of WixoN and WixoM can be a little maddening. My grandmother used to speak only in terms of WixoN, but who knows. I'll have to try and figure out who Lola was and how she fit in. Yes, 6.5-year old Jasintha in the 1865 census is my g-grandmother, Jasinthe Wixon Turner.

My tentative ancestry for Alonzo Wixom is: son of Egbert and Jacinthe (Dingee) Wixom, who is the son of Joseph Wixom b. 1762 and Deborah Brown, who is the son of Peleg Wixom b. 11 Dec 1726 in Yarmouth, Mass., d. 25 Jun 1804 in Fredericksburg, Dutchess Co., NY and his wife Margaret, and his father Robert Wixsom b. 20 May 1698 b. Chatham, Mass. I wonder if Egbert remarried after Jacintha died in 1864 to an Iola? Notes for Alonzo and family: Bible records. Is Alonzo son of Egbert Wixon, whose death is in the same Bible record, having died 1 Sep 1878, mother Jacintha, and Alonzo named a daughter "Jacintha". There is also an Iola Wixon died 21 Sept. 1887. 1856, 11 Nov. Carmel Newspapers p.16.

Wow, it must have been a very long time ago that I put someone in touch with my dad's cousin Ethel Hitt; I have no recollection of it and I'm sure Ethel is long gone. Unfortunately, I've been focusing on other parts of my family and haven't really done anything with Wixon. You can e-mail me at bmpendley@gmail.com. In the meantime, all I can tell you is my g-grandmother was Jasinthe Wixon 1866-1946, who married Rowland Turner 1861-1944. Per my grandmother's notes, Jasinthe had siblings Isaac B., William, Julia, and Sarles. Their parents were Alonzo Wixon 1832-1904 and Elizabeth Purdy Wixon 1831-1908. Also noted is Egbert Wixon d.9/1/1878 and Lola Wixon d.9/21/1887 but I don't know their context. Could this Egbert be a son to your earlier Egbert?

Nancy; Yes, her maiden name was Munger often spelled as Monger. She was born abt 1848, her father Benjamin was born in 1797 and her mother Ann was born abt 1815. There are a lot of Benjamin Mungers in New York state about that time. I have not been able to connect any with my family.

Hi Linda, Believe Jeremiah Chapman (1745-1831), 12 children, had a son Jeremiah, Jr. (1775-1855) who had a son Elmer (1807-1882). Elmer married Lydia Jane (June) Smith daughter of Lemuel and Charity (Kirkum) Smith my paternal great x 3 grandparents. Lemuel's line goes back directly to Henry Smith (c1619-1687) of Stamford, CT. Jeremiah had another son Silas (1781-1859) who married Hannah Smith daughter of Philemon and Hannah (Reynolds) Smith. Philemon and Lemuel Smith were brothers. If the above is of interest please let me know as I have additional information on these families. I have never been able to find out where Lemuel and Charity Smith are buried - any ideas? Best wishes, Earle K. Smith, Jr. <eks@barrow9.fsnet.co.uk>

My great aunt Jane (also known as Addie) Munger was born in New York in 1846. On her marriage license she states that she was born in Putnam County. Her Father was Benjamin, and Mother was Anne (Sarah Ann), She had a brother Benjamin jr also born in New York. The family moved to Wisconsin in 1850. I would hope that someone could find some record of their existence in Putnam County. Thanks David Munger

Looking for information on Timothy Shaw (1715-1779):- TIMOTHY1 SHAW was born 1715 in ..., Ireland, and died 1779 in New Lotts (now part of Brooklyn), Kings Co., New York. Notes for TIMOTHY SHAW:- 01) Muster Rolls of New York Provincial Troops, 1755-1764, Collections of the New York Historical Society for the Year 1891, Committee on Publications: Edward F. De Lancey, Daniel Parish, Jr., Charles Isham, Publication Fund Series, New York: Printed for the Society, MDCCCXCII. pp. 276-277, MUSTER ROLLS OF NEW YORK PROVINCIAL TROOPS, 1760, MEN'S NAMES ... #66 - Timothy Shaw, Date of Inlistmt. - May 1st., Age - 45, Where born - Ireland, Trade - Labourer, Out of what Company of Militia - Campbell, Officer who enlisted - Capt. Schuyler ... 02) In the New York Militia Rolls Index 1664-1775, under the "Index Of Names" , there is listed a "Shaw, Timothy ... 567". … The names covered all the muster rolls that were printed in the Second and Third Annual Reports of the State Historian, known as Colonial Series, Vol. I and II. 03) Alexander Fraser, Second Report of Archive For The Province Of Ontario (Toronto: Printed by order of the legislative Assembly of Ontario, printed ad published by L. K. Cameron, Printer to King s Most Excellent Majesty, 1950), pp. 884-885. Proceed in Of Loyalist Commission, St. Johns, 1797, Vol. XVI, before Commissioner Pemberton, Claimants, MS 19. New Claim - February 23, 1787. … He (John Shaw, Timothy Shaw’s son,) lived in Dutchess Co. Joined the Brit. Govert. In New York. … confined several times which obliged him to go within the lines for protection … Had a farm in Dutchess Co., … Claimt. is his only son. Has a sister living in the States. There appears by survey 186 acres … His father had been a Loyalist … 04) William S. Pelletreau, History of Putnam County, New York, With Bibliographical Sketches Of Its Prominent Men (Philadephia: W.W. Preston, 1886, ISBN 0-89062-006-7), refers to Timothy Shaw: - 04.1) Timothy Shaw defends the land claims of of the Philipse Family against the Nimham First Nations in an "Affidavit of Timothy Shaw, 1767". … Timothy Shaw made his home at the north end of the lake which from him took the name of Shaw s Pond until it was changed to Lake Gleneida. 04.3) In old burying ground on the Belden farm, at the southwest corner of Lake Gleneida, and where the slaves of the Belden family were buried in a small enclosure surrounding a single grave and a head stone recording the death of Deborah Shaw, who died May 5th., 1824, aged 84. She was a white woman … She requested to be buried in that place because, as she said, "my ancestors lie there." It is probable that she was the daughter of Timothy Shaw and that a family burying place was there in early times. (Pelletreau, p. 282) 05) "...A family of the name of Shaw soon settled at Carmel village, on the north and south shores of the lake which still bears their name. ... situated on Shaw's Lake ... " The History Of Putnam County, William J. Blake, Pub. by Baker & Scribner (146 Nassau Street, New York, N.Y.), 1849. 06) I strongly disagree with Kenneth Linwood Shaw's assertion that Timothy Shaw (1715-1779) was a son of, even though he quotes me as a source for the Shaw Family information that I have sent him. There is no proof as to his assertions of Timothy Shaw's parentage. His allegations are as follows: Father: Israel Shaw b: 29 JAN 1659/60 in Page 20, Little Compton Town Records, Newport County, Rhode Island, New England; Mother: Mercy Tallman b: 1674 in of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. This is where I find his research: "John Shaw of Plymouth Plantation in Progress" to be flawed. Check: Muster Rolls of New York Provincial Troops, 1755-1764. Children of TIMOTHY SHAW are: 1) DEBORAH?2 SHAW, b. 1740; d. 05 May 1824, Carmel, Putnam Co. (old Dutchess Co.), N.Y.. Notes for DEBORAH?
