"Notable Kin" corrections/ additions

Legg inn av John Brandon » 01 okt 2007 23:16:54

With more and more books available all the time on Google, we are
getting some good tools to shed light on difficult genealogical
impasses. Experimenting around with some "problem" identifications
mentioned in Gary Boyd Roberts' columns on the NEHGS website, I found
solutions (or extensions of lines) for two items in a relatively short
period of time.

In his column #84, "The New England Ancestry of Frank Lloyd Wright,
with Notes on Other Architects," GBR notes, "The mother of Frank Lloyd
Wright was Welsh, and the architect's paternal grandmother, Abigail
Goddard [wife of David Wright], cannot be readily traced from printed
sources."

http://www.newenglandancestors.org/educ ... /gbr84.asp

The following Google links show Abigail as a daughter of Rev. Thomas
and Abigail (Boone) Goddard of Newport, Rhode Island, and Preston,
Connecticut.

Column #77, "An Assortment of Famous Actors," mentions that Henry
Fonda's great-grandparents, "Henry C[linton] Jaynes and Almira L.
Jacobs, appear on p. 108 of the 1900 Bemis genealogy. Almira L. was
the daughter of Silas Jacobs of Croydon, N.H. (1785-1839) and Lydia
Pike, daughter of John Pike and Beulah Bemis. John was the son of
another John Pike (and Mehitable Howard/Hayward) of Sturbridge, who
appear to be not further traceable. Beulah's parents were Abijah Bemis
and Dinah Hagar; her grandparents were John Bemis, Jr. and Anna
Livermore, and William Hagar 3rd and Mary Flagg. Once again, there is
no royal, Mayflower or Salem witch descent, but families of some
historical importance among the forebears of Anna Livermore include
Danforth and Sherman. The mother of William Hagar 3rd was a Benjamin,
and the mother of Mary Flagg was a Bigelow."

The online _Biographical Album of Gage County, Nebraska_ has a sketch
of this Henry C. Jaynes, husband of Almira Jacobs, mentioning
incidentally that Henry was son of Nathan Jaynes by wife Celinda
Dexter.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~neresour/OLLib ... ag0085.htm

This clue leads us to the Janes Genealogy, available on Google, where
Almira's surname is incorrectly given as Bullock, but where presumably
correct information also appears, namely that Nathan's father was
Solomon Jaynes and that his mother was Beulah Fisk (his grandparents
were Jonathan and Irene [Bradford] Jaynes [of Mayflower descent]):

So it seems there IS a Mayflower line in Henry Fonda's ancestry.

He also has a Loomis line (a family found in many Connecticut
pedigrees):

So "get to searching," as Fred G. Sanford would say (actually, I
imagine that's precisely why the newsgroup is so dead at the moment).

Here is some seemingly good information on Henry Fonda's ancestress,
Elma Lampher Jaynes:

This snippet shows the middle name of Almira Jacobs, and that the
father of Silas Jacobs was Whitman Jacbos ...
