--=======FA444FD======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-565C6407; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Seeking information on these WHITEHOUSE and related individuals: Patience BRAIN b: Abt. 1834 in England Christening: 09 Mar 1834 St Thomas, Dudley, Worcestershire, England m: 25 Dec 1851 in Dudley, Worcestershire, England d: 01 Jan 1897 in Roslyn, Kittitas, WA and her husband Benjamin WHITEHOUSE b: 25 Sep 1829 in England Christening: 11 Oct 1829 St. Thomas Parish, Dudley, Worcestershire, England, date and place of death not known but it is believed he was still living when Patience died, as her death record indicates her as "married" rather than "widow" and because Benjamin was also supposed to have married a 2nd time to a lady named Emma. Also known to be in the area of Roslyn was their daugher Eliza WHITEHOUSE b: Abt. 1877 in IL married date not known but believed to have occurred in Kittitas Co to James SAMPLE b: Abt. 1872 in OH. Their first child, Patience Sample b: 25 Feb 1894 in Roslyn, Kittitas, WA. Other Whitehouse family members (these folks were miners--DUH...wasn't everyone...but for generations were coal miners so I don't know if they were seeking gold and ended up digging coal again or WHY they ended up in Washington) found in the area are: Benjamin and Patience nephew Simeon WHITEHOUSE (his father's name was also Simeon Whitehouse and he too may have been in the area) b: 22 Mar 1866 in Kewanee, Henry, IL married Pemlary BOOTH b: 26 Oct 1871 in PA d: 24 Jul 1895 in WA Burial: Old Knights of Pythias Cemetery, Roslyn, Kittitas, WA (with Mary and Thomas Booth whom I think are her parents) and their son who died at age 4, Elmer Whitehouse b: Abt. 1893 in Roslyn, Kittitas, WA d: 10 Dec 1897 in Roslyn, Kittitas, WA. Pemlary Booth WHITEHOUSE is the only Whitehouse listed as buried at this cemetery. Amos WHITEHOUSE, aged 20, male, single, died 4 Sep. 1895 in Cle Elum of typhoid fever. Born in IL. and a farmer. Parents were Isaiah Whitehouse born in England and Marion (Davis) born in Wales. Residence Cle Elum. This is another nephew of Benjamin Whitehouse, and it is believed that his father Isaiah may have also been in the area of King or Kittitas Co. though Marian Davis Whitehouse died in Kewanee IL in 1906. I have searched a good portion of the 1900 census of Kittitas Co for these folks and have come up empty handed (at least in Cle Elum and Roslyn and the other parts I have looked at so far). I did find one Whitehouse in Cle Elum whom I think MAY be connected to this family but I don't know HOW, a David Whitehouse, born May 1877 in IL, father born IL mother born PA, a blacksmith. He was single and living in a boarding house but the name of the person running it was illegible. Note that some or all of these people may have been affiliated with the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints (RLDS). I have a list from 1889 for King County of Whitehouse who were listed in the Polk Directory for Seattle as being King Co residents (rather than Seattle residents) but do not have access to the directory to see if it gives further information. It contains the following names, most of which I recognize and some of whom appear to have moved over to Kittitas by the 1890's . On the list are the following names (in case someone actually has access to the 1889 Polk City Directory of Seattle and King Co and wants to be REAL nice...) ALL are listed as miners: Benjamin Whitehouse George Whitehouse Isaiah Whitehouse J.E. Whitehouse Simeon Whitehouse Simeon B. Whitehouse (this is the one I believe is married to Booth) Thomas Whitehouse Joseph Whitehouse Samuel Whitehouse Thomas Whitehouse There was also a branch of this same family in the area of Enumclaw, King Co, and with the common names I'm not sure who is whose... Anyone recognize ANY of these folks who can provide further info would be GREATLY appreciated. --=======FA444FD======= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-avg=cert; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-565C6407 Content-Disposition: inline --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
