Sandy's Comments

Sandy, in a comment you made July 18, 2009 on Nancy Bonham Wojcik's page (http://www.genealogywise.com/profile/NancyBonhamWojcik) you made mention of Polly Stephens, the wife of Samuel Shores (my 4th great grandparents).  As I was researching their grandson Aaron Shores I came across this information that might (or might not) have relevance for research on Polly Stephens.

I note that in the 1850 census for Aaron Shores of Rockton, Winnebago, Illinois (http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1850usfedcenancestry&indiv=try&h=16743949; transcribed incorrectly as Aaron Show in some records), the grandson of Samuel Shores and Polly Stephens, a man named Sylvester Stevens (age 30, a cabinet maker) was living with them.  One might wonder if this is a relative, such as a 2nd cousin of Aaron Shores.  Sylvester is said in that census, however, to have been born in England.  Sylvester Stevens (1820 - 1892) - Find A Grave Memorial (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=14639246).  He ended up marrying Louisa Shores, the daughter of Aaron Shores and Jane Ann Horton Shores, even though he was 14 years her senior. Louisa Shores Stevens (1834 - 1920) - Find A Grave Memorial (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=14639403).  However, I find no records as to whom his parents were.  Even though his surname is spelled differently from Polly's, I doubt that is significant.

I realize that this is not enough information to make any kinds of conclusions, but it might be a piece of data that will eventually fit into the solution of Polly's ancestry. 

Sandy -

I'm afraid that I won't be of any benefit to this group since I have no Shores ancestry. My Hoff/Huff family in Bradford Co., PA, married into the Shores family several times and I wanted to find out a bit more about them. Washington Beeman and his wife Ann Maria Huff had a dau., Betsey Maria Beeman (b. abt. 1842) who married Coryell Shores, son of Peter Shores and Johanna Green. They had two sons, Amby James Shores and Scott Vaughn Shores. I was hoping to learn more about Peter and Johanna Shores. Betsey Maria Beeman had a sister, Mary Eliz. Beeman, who married Relsman L. Shores in Jan. 1870. They had Alice, Ella May and Herbert. I would like to know more about Relsman Shores's ancestry. I could attach several pages of information I have on these families if I knew how to work this system, or if I had your e-mail address. Thanks for any help. HuffAnnMaria.rtf

Thanks for the code. Everytime I get close to Heritage and try to click on it. A big square Error box comes up. It won't let me get near the Heritage box. LOL doesn't like me. Dianne

Sandy:

That would be super. Thanks! We're planning a trip to Ireland next year and I'm just now gathering information.

Thanks again, and have a great day!

Hi Sandy thanks for the reply . I'm new at this how do I send you my email off wall?

Sandy, Thank you so much for the information. I will definitely be checking them out. I will let you know if I find anything. I appreciate you sharing this information with me.

No have not tried that.... but will

I will try anything... but the name given to me by family as a madien name is Dugan.... I can't locate anything for her as a child prior to her being married.

Thanks for the info. I did get some info about the Hettichs in the newspaper you mention through Ancestry.com. My tree is on that site. I have used Google books also in my searches. Sometimes it's a good source of information.

Thanks for the information re/a John Hettich who died in Brooklyn, NY on 25 Nov 1899. I know of no such person in the line descended from Matthias Hettich. Matthias and Christina had 5 children but no John. There are a lot of Hettichs that settled in Brooklyn. Did your source list the parents names? I am really searching for more information about ancestors of the Hettich family in Germany and if you have sources then let me know. Thanks.

Hi Sandy and thanks for looking that up for me

Hi sandy,
Thanks but the names, I don't know them, I was told that my father had uncles living in NY but I don't know there names. could you see if there is an Edren Lomax Cammon in your book she died in 1941 in Monroe, Ark.

Thank you again
Willette

Sandy,
Thanks for listing the web site for Rev. War Books. I looked at it and it is great. Wish others would list similar sites that they have found on line. That would be a big help to all.

Thanks again,

Bill

Hi Sandy,

Unfortunately I know very little about James Frank Shores. He would have been my gr-great grandfather. He was the son of Henry Shores and Sarah E. Stephens and brother of William. He married Sarah Royal b August 30, 1852. They married on October 26, 1875 in Bridgeton, Cumberland Co., NJ. They had one daughter - I can't find if they had other children - buth their daughter was Edna May Shores b. July 27, 1876. She was born in Bridgeton, Cumberland Co., NJ and married Charles Frederick Burton he came from England and settled in New Jersey. They had 9 children - one of whom was my grandmother. We are in Illinois but most of the Burton's are still in Bridgeton, Cumberland Co., New Jersey. My greataunt Hannah Burton lived in the Burton family house (in Bridgeton) until her death in 1977. She willed the house to a great-niece who ended up selling it. I have the address somewhere but I can't put my hands on it at this exact moment.

Back to James Frank Shores - I can't even find when he died. There is very little information on his that I have come across so far. The Shore family line has been my brick wall for many years and I only recently was able to tie in Henry etc. to my line with census records.

I'll keep you posted as I continue to "unearth" information.
