Here it is Military Monday and I just happen to have a photo to share!

This photo was taken in 1967 at Easter time. It was taken on the steps of Old South Church, Kirtland Ohio.

Grandma, front center behind the cutie in the red coat (yeah it’s me) at one time had five stars in the bay window on the front of her house, just down the street from this church.
You will find three of the stars in the photo, my Uncles Butler, Chester and Milton. My Uncle Tom  who is also pictured next to his father “Grandpa Mac” was in uniform for a season. The other two stars that were on my grandmothers window are my Aunt Karin (wife of Butler) and Uncle Bob.

From those five stars, nine of my cousins have also served this country in the uniform of their choice. My Love and Thanks to each and everyone.

Happy Hunting

Friday Family History-Daniel and Mary Terrell Dimmock/Dimick married 23 November 1732 Windham, CT.

2 Comments

Daniel and Mary Terrell Dimmock are my 5th great-grand Uncle and Aunt.  Mary Terrell being the sister of my 5th great-grandfather Lewis Terrell/Terrill whose wife is Anna Babcock.

I don’t have much information on Mary . I believe that Mary was born between  1712 and 1713 in New Jersey(other sources say CT) to Josiah and Hannah Terrell/Terrill. Mary is the great-granddaughter of our immigrant ancestors and Great Migration participants Roger and Abigail Ufford Terrell.  Daniel is the second husband to  Mary Terrell, with Daniel, Mary had two children they are as follows:

Phebe born 8 December 1733 , Windham CT, married James Hawkins 12 May 1757 Coventry CT.

Joanna born 8 February  1736, Windham CT, married Samuel Curtis Jr., 26 May 1763 Coventry CT. She died 1 April 1816 Windham CT.

I was able to find a considerable amount on Daniel and his Dimmock/Dimick/Dymoke/Dimmocke family. Daniels great-grandfather was also among the earlier settlers of New England coming with the Great Migration, although I am not sure if he was with the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony or the Pilgrims at Plimoth, we find that Thomas died in Barnstable, Massachusetts  in 1658/9. Some research suggests that this Thomas, the great-grandfather of Daniel, is the son of Edward Dymoke. If this is his family link it would make Thomas and Daniel descendants of the House of Scrivelsby the Kings’ Champions. What makes this story even more interesting is that Thomas may well have come with a group of Puritans and very much  a contradiction to his standing  in life.

The King’s/Queens Champion have been of that house since 1066, they are also the royal standard bearers. A Champion stands in the stead of the King or Queen if they are being challenged. They do their fighting for them. Queen Elizabeth’s Champion is Lieutenant-Colonel John Lindley Marmion Dymoke. The position is much more involved then this and you can find much more information on the lineage and history of the Champions on the internet and I am sure at your local library!

Some of the information that I gathered on this family can be found at:

Friday Family History/ Nehemiah Bowne b. 6 Jul 1708 Lower Freehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey

Leave a comment

Nehemiah Bowne is my  7th half Great grand-uncle. Nehemiah  was born to Andrew Bowne and Anna Seabrook in Lower Freehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey on 6 July 1708, he married Deborah. Andrew Bowne was born in Middletown, Monmouth county, New Jersey and died about 1710. Andrew married before 1710 Anna Seabrook, after Andrew died, Anna then married the Rev. John Bray in about 1712 she had two son by John they were Daniel and Andrew Bray. It is from Andrew Bray that I descend.   Nehemiah also had a brother named Peter. Nehemiah’s last testament  includes brothers Daniel and Andrew Bray and a daughter named Mary Fisher, who is most likely a stepdaughter,  he died in 1738, he would have only been 30 at his death.

I must say that I have some very colorful ancestors! Many of them coming to the America’s to find religious freedom and yet still more looking for more freedom beyond the traditional religion of the area. Two that I can think of are, Elizabeth Fones Winthrop Feake Hallet who dared to stand up against her Uncle and the Church of New England (Congregational/Puritan) and Rev. John Bray who was at one time a member of the Church, either left Massachusetts on his own or asked to leave because of some of his beliefs. Rev. John became the Pastor of one of the first Baptist Churches in Middletown, Monmouth, New Jersey.   I don’t have a lot of information on his step-sons Nehemiah or Peter. I do know a lot of information on this family can be accessed  at Internet Archives in the text format of the book William Bowne, of Yorkshire, England and his descendants or at Google Books in several formats.  The book is by Miller K. Reading.

In reading in other places about this family may have family ties to the Boone and Lincoln families. I am not sure exactly what William Bowne and George Boone connection is other then a mention that they both descend from Humphrey de Bohun. So let me keep count here, hubbie is descended from George Boone III and I am half-niece to a Bowne.  Things sure are getting very convoluted in my children’s ancestry!!!  The Bowne isn’t blood, it is sure is close 😀

Below is a chart of my relationship to Nehemiah Bowne:

Family History Friday/ Silas Jackson b.15 Jun 1781 Morris Co NJ

Leave a comment

It seems as this is New Jersey home-coming week. Last Friday we celebrated the birthday of my grandfather David C. Terrill’s birthday. His lineage came out of  Elizabethtown, Essex, NJ.  One line is my fathers and the other my mothers. I have not yet found a cousin connect yet , but I surely would not be surprised! I have already found a connection between my father and my husband, through the Jackson family. Silas’ Aunt Elizabeth is one of Jim’s grandmothers (9 and 10 times if I recall right).

Silas Jackson is the son of Daniel Jackson and Jemima Benjamin. He is the second Silas born to this couple. The first Silas only living 8 months before perishing.

Silas was born on 15 June 1781 in Morris County, New Jersey he married first Jane (Unknown), some have cited that this Jane,  is  Jane McHenry, it is quiet possible as these two families were fairly close in proximity in Columbia County Pennsylvania. Jane is found buried next to Silas at  Coles Creek cemetery  / St. Gabriel’s Church Benton Columbia County Pennsylvania. The inscription on the stone reads as follows:

Jackson Silas September 9, 1864 83 Years 2 Months 24 Days
Jane March 11, 1805 23 Years His Wife
Martha L.(this initial is disputed) June 4, 1815 3 Years Daughter of Silas and Mary Jackson
Jemima February 1830 75 Years Wife of Daniel Jackson (Silas’ mother)

Silas’ second wife was Mary Polly Peterman daughter of James and Elizabeth Bartleson Peterman of Philadelphia, PA. She was born 4 Sep 1789 in Philadelphia, PA.

Silas’ Uncle Benjamin removed to Knox Co. Ohio with the Allen family about 1813. I am not sure if Silas was among the troop but I do know that at some point he did remove to Knox, Co., Ohio as we find Mary’s death date and place as 8 Nov 1863 Holmes County Ohio. They were the parents of twelve children, eight of which lived to adulthood. Their daughter Jemima Jackson who married Samuel Craig McCartney are my third great grandparents making Silas and Mary Polly my fourth great grandparents.

I am not sure how Silas ended up back in Pennsylvania.  I do know that the cause of death was drowning, and I have seen it noted that he drowned in Fishing Creek. He died on 9 Sep 1864 Sugarloaf Twp., Columbia Co., PA. I am going to guess that he went back to live with one of his children and the rest of the Jackson family and friends that had been left when Silas and Mary moved on to Ohio.

Happy Birthday Grandpa 😀

Happy Hunting!
