Doug ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Theresa Caparco <shelatindances2004@yahoo.com> To: Roblee@rootsweb.com Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 16:18:18 -0800 (PST) Subject: Children of Reynolds. Hello Cindy and All, Yes, its true, 2 daughters, 1 named Catherine Sarah b. 1828- my gg. and 1 named Sarah Catherine b.1837 (Have no clue as to why??) My gg Catherine Sarah never married- her reputation had been compromised and everyone in Ontario Center had known this. She had never dated as well. All we do know is that from the bible of Hannah B. Knowles- Amy Knowles and Mary Knowles cousin and in it she had written." An "Incident" has taken place at the home of my nephew Reynolds as his daughter Catherine, I am afraid shall not able to overcome." The "incident" at those times was proper speak for a lady, a true lady would never utter the word Rape nor write of it.-Morays of those days. We do know that Sarah was young when her mother Mary died and there had been an on-going rivalry between Sarah and her older sister, Catherine. As Sarah waited until after the death of her father, Reynolds in 1860- to run off with Barzilla Brown. There had been doubt so I pleaded with the known gg grandchildren of Sarah & Barzilla Brown for a DNA scan. If Barzilla was not the father- I would only have certain DNA factors in common with them- from the fact that their gg and my gg were sisters. I share 54% DNA markers with those descendants of Sarah & Barzilla Brown- which only means as we were told- Barzilla had to be the father of Catherine's child- proof positive. I however have chosen not to acknowledge him as my gg grandparent-for obvious reasons- I have though made addendem notes on my genealogy- w/ copies of the DNA results. Barzilla is not part of my Tree genealogy. Please note * Barzilla Brown is the son of Reynolds sister Emaline H. Northup. The families were always fighting over this issue- with many trips by both sets of siblings back and forth from Granville & Ontario- we believe its because Emaline wanted to visit with her son's child- and Reynolds would not allow it or allow Barzilla to enter his home.Rumor has it- Reynolds broke off all ties with his own sister over this issue. From family rumor it had been very nasty for the last 8 years of Reynolds life. My g-grandfather was born in 1852-Reynolds died 1860. As to the older children of Reynolds- We believe the first 3 are Abigails because of their middle names "Evarts" this really only makes sense to us. The last 3 we believe are Mary Northup's and yes it was her maiden name her parents are: John Henry Northup of the Deerfield Northrup's and Deborah Northup of Granville- we have thus far, been unable to track these two pedigree's past this point, and it is frustrating ! This is why I spend much time searching records in Granville & spending much time with our leading expert genealogist Warren whom lives in Granville, along with cleaning and repairing of headstones there. I also want to learn the last name of Reynolds first wife as well. These are our only obsticles in our genealogy. PS. Once a headstone is cleaned properly- its as good as new- very readable. Will send examples of my work with this e-mail. 3 stages, Begin-Middle-End. A headstone such as this, takes about 6 cleanings and about 10 days time involvement, if it is Marble...I have had only moderate luck with Slate & Concrete headstones thus far.
