Remember the SASE?

Remember the SASE?  That's Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE) for those born in the era of email and text messages.  When I started doing family history and genealogy research back in the 1980s, letter writing was a key component of research, a way and means to receive information.


I used this neglected form of communication this week in an attempt to goad a distant cousin to provide me with some information.  The gentleman is upwards of 80 years old, a recent widow, and lives several states away.  I found his phone number through an internet search, and contacted him back in November.  The conversation was pleasant, he provided some information, and promised to stay in touch.


The cousin gave me his email address and I fired off a couple of quick emails, but no response.  Perhaps he's not on the computer as much as I am.  Phone calls are tricky, as I don't want to disturb him and also the information I'm looking for is somewhat sensitive - as he is a relative of my 'black sheep' family.  I don't want to jeopardize the connection.


So this week, I typed up an old-fashioned letter, attached printed copies of my emailed charts to him, and sent him a letter via U.S. mail.  I included a SASE, hoping for a reply.


I'm hoping for the best.

Garland Hancock at Moonsville School

A recent eBay listing was a real photo postcard (RPPC) of a Moonsville, Indiana school.  Handwritten on the back it stated that Garland Hancock was the teacher.  Circumstantial evidence leads me to believe that this Garland is the same as the one in my database.


Moonsville is an  unincorporated part of Richland Township in Madison County, Indiana.


Garland HANCOCK (1887-1922) married into my extended family when he married Cora E. GROENENDYKE on April 10, 1909 in Madison County, Indiana.  Cora (1890-1967) was the daughter of Thomas and Emily (SMITH) GROENENDYKE.


Garland was born July 1, 1887 in Richland Township, Madison County, Indiana and died June 1, 1922 in Anderson, Madison County, Indiana.  He and Cora were the parents of three children: Donald T., Virgil G., and Maxine.


In my notes, I have that Garland attended Indiana University.  I need to research census records to see if his occupation was listed as a teacher.


The auction ended without a winning bid.

Exploratory Data Analysis : June Kirk (Gilliland) Lambertson (1898-1951)



June Kirk (Gilliland) Lambertson (1898-1951) was my maternal great-grandmother.  What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical facts I have discovered about her.


1. Vital records


     1.1. Birth Certificate


          June was born June 11, 1898 in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana1.  She is listed as "Infant (female) Davis" and her parents are listed as Atkinson and Ida Davis.


          1.1.1. Birth notice in newspaper


               I have not been able to discover any mention of June's birth in the local newspapers of the time period.


          1.1.2. Bible record


               I am not aware of any surviving Bible records of the Davis or Gilliland family.


          1.1.3. Baptismal record


               I am not aware of any baptismal records for June, though I do not know the church affiliation of the family.


          1.1.4. Adoption record


               I am not aware of any official adoption records for June, but she did adopt the Gilliland surname, the surname of her grandmother and step-grandfather.  June was raised by her grandmother, Mary Ellen (Swafford) Gilliland and her husband, Robert Gilliland, after the death of June's mother, Ida.  There may be records in either Monroe County, Indiana or Owen County, Indiana that would show guardianship that need to be added to my "to-do" list for further research.


     1.2. Marriage license


          June was married on June 28, 1917 in Monroe County, Indiana to Clemon Beals Lambertson2,3.  I do not yet have a copy of their marriage license.  It is recorded in Book 16, page 230, according to an index. I have added this to my "to-do" list for further research.


          1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper


               Will need to search out mention of their wedding in local Bloomington, as well as Noblesville newspapers on my next research trip.


          1.2.2. Anniversary notice


               Will need to search out mention of their anniversary in local newspapers, particularly in Elwood.


          1.2.3. Divorce decree


               There is no indication that a divorce ever occurred, though a search of the court records has not been completed.


     1.3. Death certificate


          June died March 20, 1951 in Elwood, Madison County, Indiana4.  Her death certificate lists the cause of death as "Acute Myocardial Infarction".  The certifying physician was Marion C. Drake, M.D.


          1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper


               June's obituary appeared in the March 21, 1951 edition of the Elwood Call-Leader3 and the March 21, 1951 edition of the Alexandria Times-Tribune2.  I need to check and see if there were other newspapers, such as in Anderson, Indiana, that might have also carried her obituary.


          1.3.2. Funeral home record


               June's funeral was conducted at the Jackley Funeral Home in Elwood.  I have visited the funeral home and obtained a copy of the record, but have not sourced it in my database yet!  Definitely need to add this to my "to-do" list.


          1.3.3. Tombstone photograph


               June's tombstone in the Elwood City Cemetery has been photographed.  It lists her as "Mother"  June K. 1898-1951, and lists "Father" Clemon B. 1898-1994.


2. Census Records


     2.1. Federal Census Records


          2.1.1. 1930 Federal Census


               On April 10, 1930, June was enumerated in the Clemon Lambertson household in the 2nd Ward, City of Elwood, Pipe Creek Township, Madison County, Indiana5, as June Lambertson, wife, age 31, married, born in Indiana.  Her father and mother were both listed as being born in Indiana.  She listed no occupation, and could read and write and spoke English.  She had been married for 18 years.


          2.1.2. 1920 Federal Census


               On January 14, 1920, June was enumerated in the Clemon Lambertson household in the 2nd Ward, City of Elwood, Duck Creek Township, Madison County, Indiana6, as June Lambertson, wife, age 21, married, born in Indiana.  Her father and mother were both listed as being born in Indiana.  She listed no occupation, and could read and write and spoke English.


          2.1.3. 1910 Federal Census


               On May 3, 1910, June was enumerated in the Robert F. Gilliland household in Richland Township, Monroe County, Indiana7, as June K. Gilliland, stepdaughter, age 11, born in Indiana.  Her father was listed as being born in the United States and her mother as born in Indiana.  She could read and write.


          2.1.4. 1900 Federal Census


               I have been unable to locate June in the 1900 census.  She should be approximately two years old.  I believe that I've located her mother, Ida, at the "Door of Hope" rescue mission in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana in 1900, but no June.  June's sister, Pansy, is enumerated with her grandmother and stepgrandfather, Robert and Mary Gilliland in Clay Township, Owen County, Indiana, but again, no June.  She was either missed or was with some other relative that I've yet to find.


     2.2. State Census Records


          The State of Indiana conducted state census in 1853, 1857, 1871, 1877, 1883, 1889, 1901, 1913, 1919 and 1931.  These however, were merely for the purposes of determining legislative apportionment.


     2.3. Agriculture Census Records


          I have not yet examined these types of census records to see what information might come to light.


3. Military Records


     3.1. Draft Registration


          Not applicable, as June was a female.


     3.2. Pension Records


          Not applicable.


     3.3. Service Records


          Not applicable


4. Land Records


     4.1. Deed records


          Deed records need to be thoroughly searched in Madison County, Indiana.  June spent her adult life in Madison County.


     4.2. Plat map / county map


          Madison County published a plat map in 1880, 1891, 1893, 1901, 1910, 1915, 1921, 1923, 1931 and 1940 that may be relevant to my search on the Lambertson family.


5. Supplemental records


     Supplemental records available to research for June include court records and will and probate records, as well as city directories for Elwood, Indiana.
     A search of city directories in the Elwood, Indiana show June at the following address:
     1906 N F Street - 1924, 1925, 1927, 1929, 1931/32, 1935, 1938
     222 North 12th Street - 1945
    717 South A Street - 1949

Descendants of Isaac Lemasters (1795-1841)

Cousin bait through this blog may have paid off again, as I was contacted by someone researching the family of Jacob LeMasters (1832-1905), who they believe is the son of Isaac Lemasters (1795-1841).


Isaac Lemasters (1795-1841) was the son of Jacob and Hannah (________) Lemasters, my paternal 4x great-grandparents.


Isaac was born in Virginia and married Hannah Elizabeth COLEMAN on November 21, 1821 in Shelby County, Ohio.  They had 3 children: Jacob (born circa 1832), Hannah (born circa 1835) and Isaac (born 1837).  So far, I'm only aware of descendants of Isaac.  To find descendants of Jacob would be a great connection to make.


After Isaac's death in 1841 (about January 11) in Allen County, Ohio, the widow Hannah married John B. LOCKHART on July 1, 1841 in Allen County, Ohio.  Together they had three children : Loretta (born circa 1841), James W., and Emeline (born circa 1849).


I've found them in the 1850 census of Union Township, Auglaize County, Ohio, but have not researched them any further.


According to my correspondent, descendants of the family ended up in the Springfield, Illinois area.
