Today in my database : Carey W. Lambertson (b. April 29, 1847)

Today's featured relative in my database is my maternal 3rd great-grandfather, Carey W. Lambertson.

Carey was born April 29, 1847 in Butler Co., OH and died March 18, 1918 in Elwood, Madison Co., IN. He was the son of John and Sarah A. (Wilson) Lambertson. Some say that the "W." initial stood for Wilson.

Carey married Clara E. Cook on October 1, 1869 in Butler Co., OH. Clara was born November 16, 1848 in Ohio, and died January 23, 1943 in Atlanta, Hamilton Co., IN. Her death certificate lists her parents as William Cook and mother's maiden name as "Hirhager".

I descend from Carey & Clara's son, Charles Wilson Lambertson, who married Pearl May Beals.

Today in my database : Mary Heritage (b. April 28, 1666)

Today's featured relative in my database is my paternal 9th great-grandmother, Mary Heritage.

Mary was born April 28, 1666 in Sutton, England, according to my database. She was the daughter of Richard and Mary (Timms) Heritage.

Mary married J. William Clark on September 13, 1687 in Gloucester Co., NJ. J. William was born 1656 in Gloucester, England and died in 1733. Mary died 1740 in Gloucester Co., NJ.

I descend from Mary & J. William's daughter, Mary Clark who married Nathaniel Chew.

Looking at this line, it is more than likely Quaker, and I wonder if the dates that I show are correct. Quaker dating did not use the pagan names of the months or days of the week, so this information in the database maybe incorrect.

My line of descent from Mary Heritage is as follows:

Mary Heritage & J. William Clark
Mary Clark & Nathaniel Chew
Jeffrey Chew & Amy Driver
Jesse Chew & Mary Richards
Nathaniel Chew & Sarah Springer
Nathaniel Chew & Mary West
Ezekiel Cooper Chew & Caroline Bishop Woolston
Mary Keziah Chew & Luman Walker Lemasters [my 2nd great-grandparents]
