Some of the favorite first names I have come across in my genealogy research: Peleg Elnathon Charity Ward (first and last name) Welcome Increase Ward (first and last name) Record Ward (first and last name) Melancthon Ort (first and middle names) Whatjohn Wynkoop (first and last name) Pardon Warden (first and last name) Silliman Diadama (female)

My great-great-great grandmother's name was Dedimiah, but she later went by Demiah. Her granddaughter, Mary Demiah, was named for her. I've always been curious about the origin of the name. ~Suz

My great-grandfather's name was Eutarcus Marcus Mitchell. He was called Tarkus. Brenda

This is too weird. So far I have been able to trace my Ward line back to 1700's and mine are all in Montgomery Co., Md. And as far as I know all of my imediate Ward relatives have or had dark hair and beautiful blue eyes. Including my 2 children.

Hi there everyone, Just wanted to say thank you for everyone's responses for the above. Its getting to a point now where I'm not going to be able to reply to everyone personally (although I would love to)! As I've also sent this message out to 9 different lists. Please keep them coming, they don't even have to be your own. I'm averaging on about 10 mails a minute and believe me there are some fantastic names. Thank you all again. Sue

Hi All, I've been looking at a few of the first names that seem to come up in some of the ancestral searches. I'm not sure if this is OK to do but can I ask that if anyone has some really obscure names (either with or without their meanings) could they pop them along to me. I'm just about to publish my web site to the net and I came up with this idea of documenting some of the old, worldly or unusual names that our ancestors came up with. If it is OK to do this on this mailing lists could anyone sending lists please subject them Odd names. Thank you! And if its not OK I apologise now to everyone and the list owners. Sue (Selkirk)

P.S. What about curly hair? Naturally curly hair runs in my WARD family too. -----Original Message----- From: Ward, Marsha [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2000 7:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Blue-Eyed WARDs I have Civil War enlistment forms from NARA for my gg-grandfather, Caleb WARD, and his 2 brothers, Nelson and Joseph.

All you have to have is a recessive blue from one parent meet up with a recessive blue from the other parent and--voila!! A blue eyed child from two brown eyed parents! My blond, blue eyed (WARD) grandmother wanted at least one brown eyed child to take after my very dark eyed SAMS grandfather (the family swears there's Native American in his mother's family, but I haven't found it yet) but all five children had all shades of blue eyes--from startling blue to my father's blue that changes, depending on what he wears. He, like his father, has Native American characteristics. My other grandparents, one blue eyed, the other hazel (a derivative of the brown gene) had ten children and they all had brown eyes! A parent with blue eyes can only give a blue eye gene. Those of us with a blue eyed parent and a brown eyed parent and also have brown eyes (such as my husband and myself) have a one in four chance (with each child) of that child's eyes being blue; the other three chances are having a child with brown eyes--but only two of those are able to pass on the blue eyed gene. That's how two Hispanics, both with an Irishman in the background, can have a blue eyed redhead (this happened in my friend's family)!! Did I confuse you enough? Anyone else think of an easier way to explain it? Samantha

(July 4, 1965) AN OLD COWBOY, CHARLIE DEMICK, TAKES THE LAST BIG RIDE Charlie Demick, the man who oitomized the Modoc cowboy throughout the present 20th century, is dead at the age of 91. The old buckaroo passed away at the Modoc Medical Center Tuesday morning following a confinement there for the past three months. He was in a coma during his final hours. Charlie earned his reputation though a combination of rugged outdoor cussedness coupled with a longevity that saw most of all his contemporaries ride on long ago. "I haven't got an enemy in the world," he often repeated in recent years. "The reason is, I've outlived 'em all." Charlie was born in Smartsville, California in November, 1874 at the age of 14 he had long since left his birthplace and was a top hand bronc buster drifting from ranch to ranch. By the time he was 17 he was straw boss for the large herd of Miller and Lux cattle empire of northwestern Nevada, and in charge of 100 square miles of that domain before he was 26. In January of 1911 he was a member of the posse that went searching for a band of Indians who murdered four sheep herders at Red Rock. He missed the final attack, however, because he was in charge of the horse remuda that supplied the posse. In 1916 he was in charge of Union Land Company whose holdings he managed in Modoc until 1933 under the directive of H. Moffitt who retained him after the original company was dissolved. In 1936 he became manager of the Corporation ranch and also marrried Ora Hawkins in San Francisco. In Alturas, Charlie became a permanent fixture in the Alturas rodeo and other horse connected events. Only last summer, at the age of 90, he joined with Tom Ivory in leading the Fandago parade - on horseback. Demick continued in ranching and served as a horseback "advisor" until he was well past 80. Survivors include his wife, Ora, one daughter, Mrs. Patricia Cantrall of Likely and three grandchildren. Interment was in the Likely Cemetery today.
