Tink, I cannot thank you enough for your kind response! I just sent you a copy of my reply to Bonnie because in it I tell her that I had not considered that William and Fannie Imes' ages were wrong in the 1860 Census. I also relate much more about my research. I did not reply via the PAFRANKL list, as there are many other researchers sending queries who deserve attention. However, I DO want the list to know how much I appreciated your DETAILED response and that I will follow through on your suggestion to check the Orphan's Court records in Franklin County for any guardianship of the children and the land records for the disposition of the IMES property. I will send you direct reply regarding the other items mentioned in your note. Thanks, again! Blessings, Carol Phila., PA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tink Miller Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 6:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PAFRANKL] William IMES It appears that William's age is misstated on the 1860 census, causing your difficulty in searching. On the 1850 census, William IMES is listed as age 35, a laborer, born in Maryland; he is with wife Fanny age 33, son Charles age 10, and daughter Mary age 2. So William was only 45 in 1860, not 65. And Fanny was only 45 when she died in 1862. William may have remarried and even had more children. Or he may have joined the Union Army in the war. Residing in the same house in 1850 is a William Carl/Earl? age 21, with wife Mary age 20 and daughter Mary 9 mos old. Fannie and Mary are both from Virginia and are likely sisters. Next door, just as you described, is brother John Imes age 34 and wife Elizabeth also 34 and from Virginia (another sister?). Children are David 10, Mary B. 8, James 6, Esau 4, Caroline 3 and John 1. John is a farmer owning land valued at $800, so brother William and Wm Carl may have worked for him as laborers. Of all the children in the three families, only John's oldest son David had attended school in the past year. On the next page of the 1850 census, just a few homes away, we find another black IMES family - John IMES, age 77 and Susan age 57 (wife?) and Eliza 15 (daughter?). John and Susan are also born in Maryland. My guess would be that this is possibly the father and mother of William and John since all are from Maryland, the ages work, and all are living close together. James Imes, son of John and Elizabeth, was born 1842 in Chambersburg, Franklin Co. Died 5 April 1895, in Carlisle, PA. Married Jane Strange, 22 Oct 1891, in Carlisle. Also in 1860, Esau (Eseau), son of John and Elizabeth, is living with a family named White, in Antrim Township, Greencastle, Franklin Co. They live on a farm valued at almost than $9,000, so Eseau is probably a laborer on the farm, though no occupation is listed. He is described as mulatto. By 1880 he is living in Mississippi, teaching and single, boarding with a family named Ingraham. He married their eldest daughter Catherine Ingraham, 16 June 1883. He was born Oct 1845, Chambersburg, PA; died 8 Nov 1907, Byhalia, MS., son of John and Elizabeth Imes. He applied for disability pension for his Civil War service in MS., 27 Oct 1891. Catherine applied for widow's pension at 11 Dec. 1904. Children: Son, Edward Houston Imes, born 24 Nov 1895; died 27b Nov, 1976. Married Frances ??, date unknown. Daughter - Carrie Anna Imes, b. 10 March 1893, Memphis, TN; d. Aug 1992(?), Memphis; spouse Henry Langford. Caroline Imes, d/o John and Elizabeth, went to Kentucky. Born 1847, in Franklin Co. Died 1896 in Harrodsburg, Mercer Co., KY. Married Peter Johnson, 1875 in Harrodsburg. Mary B Imes, d/o John and Elizabeth, born Chambersburg, 1842. No other info. David, son of John and Elizabeth, born Chambersburg 1840; married Emmaline ?. There was a John Imes who served in the Union Colored Infantry, Co. H, 41st Unit, during Civil War. Don't know if it is the same John Imes. In Feb, 1887, John Imes (I'iames) widow "Eliza E." applied for Civil War pension, in Missouri. Eliza could be Elizabeth. IN Oct. 1891, William Imes (I'iames) applied for disability pension as civil war vet in Missouri. No widow or dependent listed. Co E, 60th MO Infantry (?). In 1860 census, I believe there is an error on William's age. He was 45, not 65 as listed. Fanny is 41. The oldest son, Charles, has left the house. A younger son, William, was born in 1851 is now in the house with Mary age 14 and Margaret age 5. Perhaps they purposely gave a wrong age for William to protect him from civil war service? There is a William IMES, African American on 1880 census: Fayetteville, Franklin, Pennsylvania, enum. dist 96, pg 41 He is age 40, born in Pennsylvania. However, Father's and Mother's birthplace is given as PA, which does not fit your William and Fanny, but I think it may be their son. This William is a Farm Labor, Married, and cannot read/write. The Household Members are Mary, age 30 (spouse), and daughters Mary age 17 and Maggie age 13. It's interesting that the two daughters names are same as daughters of Wm IMES that you are researching. Could be sign of a family naming pattern. Several of the neighboring families of this William of 1880 census are also African Amercan, on pgs 41 and 42. The men are farmers and the women are "keeping house". Sunames are Butler, Keyes, Hunter, Hall, Brown, Burse, Dradon, Pickens, Seane, Ramer. (I may have misread some handwriting on a couple of these). Perhaps if you study the names of the wives in those families you will find possible matches for the IMES female children of William or John. I would check land records and estates/wills to see what happened to John's land when he died, and maybe Orphan's court records to see who took guardianship of the younger children. Who witnessed the documents? Who received an inheritance? If there are death or burial records, that may reveal a lot of info. Look for all the collateral info about the two children of John that you do have info on - school graduation, marriage, death, land/tax records, etc. Also newspaper items. Sometimes family members are named as guests attending a family event. I culled this information from Ancestry census records and civil war pension records, and their list of World Family Trees. Hope that will give you some ideas for further research as you collect the documentation.

Bonnie, Thanks so much for your note! I'm fairly certain that the Imes book in the Historical Society is the one donated by my cousin, Carmen Harleston, the Imes Family Historian, who compiled the genealogy circa 1982. I began helping Carmen with the research in 1998 after my husband learned of his Imes' roots. Since that time I have been able to help coordinate the biennial Imes Family Reunions. We just had a wonderful one in Lewistown this summer. William Imes and the children of John Imes have been an enigma. I've sorta taken them on. I read with interest Tink Miller's reply to my query. I had not considered that the ages given in 1860 Census were wrong. Tink theorizes that the William and his wife gave wrong ages to protect William from Civil War service. I will follow through on his suggestions to check land records and estates/wills in the Franklin County Orphans' Court. After intensive research, I believe we have found one of John Imes' lost children in Ottawa County, Ohio. However the descendants of that person, John W. Imes (JWI), are not ready to acknowledge the connection without DNA testing. Interestingly, they have shared an oral history that JWI was an orphan in PA, that his mother's name was Elizabeth, that he was born near Greencastle and had a brother named Esau! Incredibly, both Esau Imes and JWI mustered in the Civil War at the same location in Wooster, Ohio. I think that's a sufficient connection but I'm trying very hard to find any documentation that will support the blood line. Hence, my note to the Franklin County rootsweb list for help with William and John's children. Do keep me in mind as you come across new databases or think of any other potential resources for me to check. I'm sending a copy of this note to Tink Miller, in case he hasn't checked the PAFRANKL board.

Well Nance I will keep my eyes peeled and if i find anything will let you know. It could be just the way a name is spelled too.
