Cox - Thompson Marriage Record

2011-10-14T19:24:00.000-04:00

This marriage record was found at the Lenawee County Historical Society Museum Archives Room, stored in a Hollinger box in a file labeled "Cox Family". There is no explanation of the number 1263 written on the top of the document. This photocopy has been in my possession for some time, and I do not remember if I made a photocopy of a photocopy or if I made a photocopy of an original document.

Good luck to all Lenawee researchers.

Enos Hamblin Bible

2011-08-21T18:30:00.002-04:00

These bible pages were found in the Lenawee County Historical Society Museum Archives Room in a Hollinger box. The file was labeled "Enos Hamblin". There are nine pages in all. Page 4 has "contamination" as when these pages were copied, there was no intention of putting the images on line, one line was particularly light/faded and could barely be read, so the information was handwritten on the PHOTO copy only in pencil. Page 7, the last name, also handwritten, but on the original record is very hard to read and may be transcribed here in error. The pages will all be presented here and transcriptions will follow each. Some pages were copied fully, others were only copied as far as the data went down the pages.

Wilcox Bible and Marriage Certificate Images

2009-10-19T11:48:00.010-04:00

NOTE: This Bible is NOT part of the collection of the Lenawee County Historical Society, The Adrian Public Library or any other research facility in Lenawee County Michigan. This is a privately owned Bible and the information was kindly shared with us by Richard Welch. Since sharing this with us, Richard has changed his email, and attempts to reach him have failed. Since Geocities is shutting down in about a week, we have decided to bring the records to the blog so they are still available to researchers, but, we have no contact information for Richard.

Names are a bit hard to read, they are: Horace Wilcox of Palmyra, Michigan and Amanda McCourtie of Woodstock Michigan.
Married 24th December 1865
Witnesses: Doty McCourtie and Mary McCourtie
Married by: H. J. Baldwin, Justice of the Peace.

Four pages from the Bible were provided by Richard, the four pages are for Births, Marriages, Deaths and a Memoranda page. An additional page of records from the Bible was edited by us, due to the birth dates and privacy matters. This partial extra page is found on the Memoranda page.

Clicking on the image will open a new window with a larger image, to return, click your back button.

Richard also provided one additional page of records, all of which were birth records, many of those were dated after 1940. Bowing to concerns over birth dates and names and security concerns for stolen identities, most of the additional page is not included on these web pages. Following are the only 2 dates we felt safe posting here.

Stephen Angell and Stephen Hoag Bibles, Deeds, Press Articles and Misc. Family Records

2009-09-09T11:31:00.004-04:00

This entire file was found in the Lenawee County Historical Society Museum Archives in a Hollinger box in a file labeled Angell Family. Upon close examination it appears there are two Bible records here, one of Stephen Angell and one of Stephen Hoag. The presentation of the records shows clearly where the Stephen Hoag Bible records begin, but does not seem to indicate where they stop. As it was quite unclear we have decided to present both as we found them, one file, one presentation. It is the researchers responsibility to unravel the mystery.

Weddings
Angell - Van Allen 1940 (date written in by hand)
Announcement has been made from Daytona Beach, Fla., of the marriage New Year’s Eve of Karl A. Angell of this city to Miss Lucy Van Allen of Wellsville, N.Y. The ceremony was performed at McKee’s Castle near Daytona Beach by the Rev. Bruce Price of the First Baptist Church.
After a short trip through the state Mr. and Mrs. Angell plan to make their home in Daytona Beach.

(Typists notes: this wedding announcement was found taped to one of the pages in the file. We typed at the end of this Family Record, hoping to make it more clear. It was a newspaper account, publication data unknown except for the year date, as indicated.)

Marriage Certificates of Lenawee County

Most of these marriage records or certificates were found at the Lenawee County Historical Society Museum Archives. In most cases they were found in a series of files stored in Archival Safe Hollinger boxes, filed by family surnames. I am NOT researching these families and only have posted them to help other researchers who may not have access to the Museum. Good luck in your research.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Found at the Lenawee County Historical Society Museum Archives, in a Hollinger box, file labeled “Charles Allen”. This is a handwritten document, but it is unknown who actually wrote it. One could surmise it was written by the Justice of the Peace that married this couple. Where it appeared that the letters were capitalized, they were so typed in this transcription of the record.

Wood Bible

2009-07-02T13:35:00.001-04:00

Found at Lenawee County Historical Society Archives.

This bible is extremely old, the pages disintegrate when you open the heavy cover. On the inside of the front cover is written in ink “Printed in 1754". There is no title page. The date has been added recently as there is no visible smudging or fading of the ink.

I copied an example of a verse from Genesis 1 to give an example of the printing in an attempt to establish the age of the bible. It is reproduced here as I copied it, the double “f” is not a printing error, but is in fact a double “s”, not at all uncommon in old writing. I did not miscopy “faid, fubdue, fifh or fea”, in the old fashioned print, the "s" resembles the "f".

Verse 28 reads: And God Bleffed them, and God faid unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and relpenith the earth, and fubdue it: and have dominion over the fifh of the fea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Inscribed in the front of the bible is:

Joseph Tilton April 23 1779 East Sudsbury, Mass.

Their children--

Caroline A. Tilton March 10, 1814 Married Joel Putman: Albert Hyde
Rebecca Angeline ) Married Warren Sampson
Betsey Adeline ) Dec. 3, 1816 Unmarried

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Joseph who originally owned the farm did not marry. William W. bought the land from him in 1831. Abigail and Samuel Kingston were the parents of Rosira Kingston (spinster dressmaker). Mary and Sellec Seymore were the grandparents of Mary Whitelock. The fact that Hyde was Caroline’s second husband accounts for the difference in ages.

William Williams came to Michigan first of the family in 1825. His father and family came soon after but went on to Coldwater after a few years. Mathilda Sisson Tilton died when she was only 56 and he later married Mrs. Cynthia Spofford Bissell and moved to Tecumseh which was the reason that George W. took over the farm.

----------------------------------------

Thomas and Hannah Sisson were the parents of Mathilda (Tilton); Ellery who married Mary Bryan; George who married Francis Taylor; Thomas; Alexander; Abigail, who married Joseph Tilden; Susan, who married Alpheus Stearns and Philip.

The above were first cousins, their fathers being brothers, so she has the same name before and after marriage. Their first three children were born in New York State. In Batavia County where Philo and Hannah were married. Beginning with their child Revillo Hull Stevens, who was born in what was then Monroe Co., Michigan Terr. But is now Washington Twp, Lucas Co., Ohio. The rest of the children were born here too. Washington Twp, Lucas Co, Ohio, On Alexis Road.

In 1990 Jeannette Dickerson extracted records from the bibles she found at the Adrian Public Library, Adrian, Lenawee County, Michigan. She published the findings in the Lenawee County Researchers newsletter, Sept/Oct. 1990, Vol. 4, No. 2. In 1998 Carol A. Stevens extracted records from the bibles she found at the same Adrian Public Library. Jeannette found the following records from the Sinclair bible, but in 1998 Carol could not locate the bible in the library. This is an example of why researchers should be extracting and transcribing records for use by others. Thanks to Jeannette we give you:

This particular record is rather confusing and has some entries that should be questioned. Please use caution and verify the information whenever possible. See Note below.

NOTE: Family members, Pat and Christa contacted us about this record. They point out that Amelia Pauline Sicbenesicher, as indicated as wife of James Harvey Shepherd, has a surname that is frequently mis-spelled and rather difficult to research. They tell us her maiden name should be spelled, Siebeneicher. Thanks Pat and Christa for this clarification.

This record is entirely hand written, some of the letters are faded, making transcription difficult at times. Anyone interested in this record would be advised to obtain a copy from the Lenawee County Historical Society. From the fact that there is a date of 1812, and other information that resembles that of a publisher, it is thought that this data was copied from a Bible.

In early 2008 we were contacted by Wystan Stevens, Ann Arbor (Washtenaw County, Michigan) Historian, about Austin Robinson. He has kindly shared a photo of Austin's headstone. Austin is buried in the Adrian Center Cemetery, Adrian Township, Lenawee County, Michigan. His headstone is of specific interest due to the illustration of the events surrounding Austin's death, which was caused by falling from a wagon, on his head! Wystan's web page discussing Austin's headtone can be found here. Thank you for sharing this very interesting bit of Lenawee history with us.

Extracted Records from Pope Bible

2009-06-19T18:16:00.002-04:00

Found at the Lenawee County Historical Society Archives in a Hollinger box, file labeled Pope. The record appears to have been typed two times, most of the information being exactly the same. Many of the records found in Hollinger boxes were typed on onionskin paper which was being reused. For example, an index for the Harriet Cole Clark Bowen DAR cemetery books (Gravestones of Lenawee County, ca 1930-40) was typed, then discarded. In an attempt to save money, this discarded sheet was turned over and a bible record was typed on the reverse side. One difficulty is that of bleed through. The other is that as in this case, if the typist made an error or a series of errors, he/she would have to retype the entire page. It is believed that is what happened with this bible record, that the typist felt there were enough errors that it was appropriate to retype, or that the typist discovered that the bleed through was severe and decided to retype. In this record Page 2 and Page 4 are almost total duplication. We will combine the two. Anyone interested in this family, and bible records, are strongly urged to obtain a copy of this typed extraction from the Lenawee County Historical Society.

Note to researchers: Please remember that this entire record was handwritten and was extremely hard to read. We have been contacted in the past by a Corson family biographer who assures us that the name Tiesler in our transcriptions is most likely Feister, especially that of Jacob Tiesler Courson Oct. 30, 1917 who the Corson family biographer feels "almost certainly" Jacob Feister Courson. We have not done any further research on this family, but pass on this information for family researchers to follow up on. Good luck in your research and thank you to the Corson family biographer that shared this information with us.

RAISIN LOSES ANOTHER PIONEER.
1886

(Date above, written in by hand)

Clark Hall was born in Norway, N.Y., in 1809 and in 1832 he married Harriet S. Treat by whom he had two children now living. He came to Mich. In May 1836 and located a farm. Hardships were many, having at times to sift the bran for bread-making; meat was plentiful as deer of turkey could be killed any morning.

They buried five children in 12 years, and their dau. Semantha Ives, died in August, 1872, leaving Hosea and Seloma E. Jackson to Mourn his loss. Mr. Hall’s first wife died Mar. 6, 1867 of consumption. He then had his sister, Elsie Brown, come and keep-house for him. In Dec. he returned to the home of his childhood and there married Libbie Thornton, and brought her back with him; they lived together untill 1873 when she wished to go east and visit her children by a former husband. While there she sickened and died and was buried by her first husband.

Mr. Hall then had to call on his sister Elsie again to keep-house for him untill Nov. 29, 1874 when he married Ellen Hawker of Tecumseh. They lived together ten years when death again took his wife, Ellen, Oct. 20, 1884. Not wishing to live with his children, Mr. Hall called upon the sister of his last wife, Lydia Clark, to make a home for him untill his death, Oct. 8, 1886 of palsey. The funeral was held from the house, on the 10th, Richard Harkness of the Friends Church officiating, having been near neighbors for years. He was laid to rest between his first and last wives in North Adrian cemetery.

Grave Desecration

An unfortunate experience came to the family of Nathan Marlatt, when it was discovered that his grave in North Adrian cemetery had been robbed of the body. It was so clumsily accomplished that it was known at once. Officers at once went to Ann Arbor to investigate the loss among the bodies used in the discecting room of the University Medical School. It was identified immediately, as it had not been put in the pickling vat, and the body returned to the family.

Not only was the body discovered but parties were found who had seen in delivered at the receiving room of the Medical College and a discription of the thieves obtained, the livery stable found where the horse and wagon were hired; the discription fitted certain young student, Emery Watts, and a helper, Frank Norton of Adrian. They were arrested and the former sentanced to two years at Ionia, and the latter to one year at the same place. (1880)

The balance of the records included here are obviously not bible records. No indication of where the information was found is made. Indeed there are references to page numbers that do not appear to make sense, so we ask, page numbers to what?? Due to the nature of these records we will not attempt to indicate which are typed and which are handwritten. The handwritten sections were at times hard to read, we appolgize in advance for errors that may appear.

Marlatt Bible Records

2009-06-18T19:22:00.011-04:00

Found at the Lenawee County Historical Society Archives Room in a Hollinger Box, file marked Marlatt. This record contains bible records, records that came from a family member, and records that are unindentified. It is possible and most likely probable that Harriet Cole Clark Bowen collected these records during the 1930's and 40's. She was very active in the DAR and compiled 5 volumes of cemetery records for Lenawee County cemeteries. The records from the Hollinger Box will be copied exactly here, taking particular care with spellings, however, spacing from the typed version found in the Hollinger may be altered here for space considerations. Notations will be made where necessary to indicate handwritten notes, etc.

DUE TO THE SIZE OF THIS RECORD IT WILL BE PRESENTED ON TWO BLOG PAGES.

Knapp Bible on a Door

2009-06-17T15:02:00.002-04:00

Found at the Lenawee County Historical Society was this VERY unusual bible page.

This is a page that is apparently out of an old bible. The page has been glued to a piece of wood. The wood is flat on one side, but has the raised features of a cabinet door on the other side. No one could tell me where this door and its bible page came from. The bible page was glued to the flat side of the door and someone had written letters and numbers in pencil on the other side, but they could not be read because they were so faint.

The bible page had holes and the some of the writing is extremely faint. I had to use a magnifying glass and lots of light to extract the names and dates. There could very well be errors, but I tried my best.

At the top of the page it said Family Record, the next line had the words: Names, Births, Marriages, Deaths with a column for each. I will report the information line, by line, name and then what dates were filled in. Abbreviations, b for birth, m for marriage, d for death:

Abraham Knap b. December 25, 1789 (although this could be either 1784 or 1787. m. Nov. 6, 1803 d. Feb 24, 1865 (this could be 1835 or 1855).

Elizabeth Drake b. December 17, 1788 m. November 5, 1809 d. Oct. 9, 1843

Jacob W. Knap b. January 20, 1811 m. June 9, 1833 d. April 1, 1834.

Jane Knapp b. March 21, 1815 m. April 17, 1832 d. Nov 8 or 18, 1862.

Elizabeth and Mary Knap b. June 9, 1815 (now this part gets a bit confusing, as it is obvious we have twin girls here, and I had to guess as the party recording these dates put both girls on one line) Mary m. May 4, 1834 d. May 15, 1841 Elizabeth d. 1903 (did not see a date of marriage for her)

Charles Knap b. August 8, 1817 m. Sept. 13, 1840 d. Aug 22, 185?

Joel B. Knap b. May 4, 1820 m. 1843 d. Feb. 6, 18??

Abraham Knap Jun b. _____7, 1829 m. April 2, 1851 d. Sept. 2, 1868

John S. Knap b. ______7, 1824 m. April 2, 1851 d. Dec. 28, 1893. (Note the similarity to the bible record titled Knapp Bible, John J. Knapp born Nov. 24, 1825 and married April 24, 1851. Remember the ink on this bible page glued to a door is very, very faint.)

Hiram Knap b. October 25, 1829 m. March 26, 1853 d. Jan 31, 1869.

Harriet N. Knap b. May 9, 1830 d. June 10, 1830.

James R. Knap b. Dec. 29, 18_3 d. May 17, 1910.

Can you imagine someone gluing their bible page to the door of a cabinet to preserve it? This is probably one of the most unusal bible/family records I have seen.

Knapp Bible

2009-06-17T15:00:00.000-04:00

This bible was found in the Lenawee County Historical Society Museum Archives Room.

Title page: Hardings' Royal Quarto Edition of the Holy Bible, published Philadelphia, William W. Harding, 1862.

This is a large bible covered in what appears to be leather. The front and back covers are very heavy and probably are wood covered by the leather. It has raised sections, like a fine piece of furniture or a cabinet door. It is closed by a heavy brass clasp:

Marriages:

John J. Knapp of Fairfield ae 25 years

“Obituary of Mrs. Ellen Kingan

The funeral of Mrs. Ellen Kingan was held at 2:00 o’clock Friday afternoon, Feb. 20th, at her home on Burt St. A large number of friends and relatives were present at the service, at which Rev. B. L.. Davies of the Presbyterian church officiated. The pallbearers were nephews of the deceased. Out of town relatives present were Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Service and Mr. and Mrs. Lester Brooks of Clinton, Mr N. F. Doke and Mrs. Jerre Mahony of Marshall, and Mr. Russell Doke of River Rouge. Internment was made at Brookside Cemetery.

Mrs. Kingan was born April 4th, 1845. In 1866 she married Jas. Kingan at Tecumseh. After three years in Canada, Mr. and Mrs. Kingan returned to this town. They had six children, two of whom are dead; Martha, who died in infancy, and Dr. Frank Kingan, who died ten years ago. Mrs. Kingan’s husband died 27 years ago.

Immediate relatives who survive her are her daughters, Margaret, Mrs. Fred Scutt, at home; Mrs. Jas McQueen of Wellsville, Ohio; and a son, Mr. John Kingan of Tecumseh; and two grand-daughters. Mrs. Kingan joined the Presbyterian church of this city in her girlhood. In Canada, she joined a church by letter, but on her return to Tecumseh, she placed her letter in this church in 1870, since which time, until her health failed, she has been a faithful attendant and member.”
