Nothing Further Known At This Time

For some time now, I have been posting tidbits about my family and ancestors as a series of 'Family Milestones' posts.  What started out as an attempt to new content posted to the blog has turned out to be instructive and enlightening to me in regards to the lack of information that I possess about any number of families.  

My hope in publishing these mini-posts is that others who are researching the surnames will find the posts and be able to add information to my data.  Some have contacted me, and for that I am thankful.  I hope that those who read the blog are not too bored by the recitation of birth, marriage and relationship information.

Recently, I have begun to add the phrase 'nothing further is known at this time' to those posts on distant great-grandaunts and uncles, etc. that I have very little information.  My hope is that eventually I will get to a point where I can go back and update those posts with newly found information.  Perhaps some distant cousin will be able to add to the information with a death date, burial location or children, etc.

'Nothing further known at this time' is truly the status of all genealogy research - it's the journey in the discovery that takes these individuals from a mere series of names and dates and breathes some life into them that keeps me going.

World War II Draft Registration: Fred Joseph Axe


Fred Joseph AXE was born March 22, 1882 in Jay County, Indiana.  He married December 25, 1903 in Jay County, Indiana to Amanda A. METZNER, daughter of William F. and Mary Ann (HALEY) METZNER.  He was a farmer, and census records place him in Bearcreek Township, Jay County, Indiana.

The Mr. William AXE listed as a contact on his draft registration was his son.  Fred and Amanda had 3 children: Ruth, Mary and William.  At the time of this registration, his wife may have been deceased, as I do not have a death date for Amanda.

Sentimental Sunday: Easter memories

This week I asked mom to share some of her Easter memories.  The following is a transcript of the interview:

How did your family celebrate Easter?

Every Easter mother made us both Easter outfits.  Always had a hat and gloves and black patent leather shoes.

I remember one morning early on Easter I received a little white jacket coat.

We always stood out front of the house and had our picture taken.  I have pictures somewhere.

I also remember one year having an aqua-colored dress with ruffles (dotted Swiss).

Don't remember having an egg hunt, but always got a basket with candy.

Surname Saturday: Prince

The PRINCE surname is in Eileen's paternal line. The origins of the surname are as yet unknown.

Stories and history:

Ahnentafel # 47: Margaret Emley PRINCE (c1835-     ). Margaret was born circa 1835 in Kentukcy, according to the 1870 census.  She married August 15, 1857 to David C. DUNAWAY. David was born September 1833 in Kentucky, the son of Benjamin Evans and Martha Hogg (MIZE) DUNAWAY.  The family appears in the 1870 census of Graves County, Kentucky, and the 1900 census of Marshall County, Kentucky.  They may be in the 1880 census of Gibson County, Tennessee.  They had at least 2 children.

This is a relatively new line to research, and there is much to discover.  A cursory search of the 1850 census in Kentucky shows one possibility, a Margaret PRINCE born circa 1839 in the household of Wilson PRINCE in Lawrence County, Kentucky.  Wilson aged 25, born in Virginia, could be a brother.

Ellen (KING) WRIGHT (1868-1913) was my maternal 2nd-great grandmother.  I have not been able to yet trace the origins of the KING line back to the old country.

The following facts about Ellen's life are known:
  • Birth: She was born August 24, 1868 in Frankton, Madison County, Indiana, the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (SHAW) KING.
  • Census: 1870 - She appears in the Daniel KING household in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana.

  • Marriage: She married John William WRIGHT on May 13, 1888 in Madison County, Indiana.
  • Census:1900 - She appears in the John W. WRIGHT household in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana.
  • Census: 1910 - She appears in the John W. WRIGHT household in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana.
  • Death: She died December 24, 1913 in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana.  Cause of death: mitral regurgitation
  • Obituary: Her obituary appeared December 26, 1913 in the Alexandria Times-Tribune
  • Burial: She is buried in the I.O.O.F. cemetery in Alexandria, Madison County, Indiana.
The following facts need further research and/or documentation to complete my research:
  • Children: The 1910 census indicated that she was the mother of 4 children, with only 2 living.  Need to try to identify names and birth/death dates of these other infants.
  • Obituary: Need to seek out obituaries printed in other local papers (Anderson, Elwood, etc.)
Ancestry of Ellen (KING) WRIGHT (1868-1913), Ahnentafel # 25 in my ancestry:


Ahnentafel # 50: Daniel KING (1820-1876); Ohio>Madison Co., IN


Ahnentafel # 100: William KING (c1790-1869); North Carolina>Wabash Co., IN

2010 Census: Your Community's Participation Rate

Have you received your 2010 census form?  If you did, did you fill it out?  What about your neighbors?

Now you can track the participation rates of your community, county or state through the 2010 Participation Rates webpage at the home of the 2010 census. 


This website is a collaboration between the U.S. Census Bureau and Google.  I had trouble getting the site to work with just a zip code, so instead clicked on the state map, and then zoomed into the local community.

I was surprised to see the rate of participation in my community.  Right now it stands at 56%.  We have not received our form yet at my house.  Perhaps we'll receive a visit later in the year.

Sometimes an error isn't an error

One of the great things about RootsMagic is the ability to do a 'problem search' in my database. One of the bad things about the search is that my database seems to have too many errors. While some of them are from times when I've imported data from others, there are some that are there because I've created typos or just haven't been thorough in my research.


In trying to catch some of the errors, I ran the report to show those individuals in the database who died with an age greater than 100 years. The first individual listed was William Applegate, who showed at age 105 at death. I had his date of birth as circa 1733 in Burlington County, New Jersey and his death as circa 1838 in Corydon, Indiana. My sources for both of these loose dates were from "A history of Adams County, Ohio.." as below:

 
Granted, this may not be the best source, but it is a source nonetheless.  Will have to continue to look into old William to see if he really was 105 years of age, but for now, will ignore this supposed error in my RootsMagic database.

William is not a blood relative, but his daughter, Catherine, married Robert WRIGHT, my maternal 6th-great granduncle.  Apparently, the Wrights and the Applegates migrated together into the Brown County, Ohio area in the early 1800s.  More to research.

Family Milestones: March 26th

My paternal 3rd-great grandaunt, Margaret JACOBS, married on this date in 1863 in Wayne County, Ohio to Benjamin DREIBLEBEIS.  Margaret was the daughter of David and Barbara (BYERS) JACOBS, and the younger sister of my Susan JACOBS.  Margaret was born February 11, 1839 in Congress Township, Wayne County, Ohio.  I do not have dates of birth or death for Benjamin.  Margaret died October 9, 1913.  Nothing further is known at this time.
