| 2901 | Son Joseph: Hi Erick, I am a six great grandson of Joseph Wadsworth through Hannah (Wadsworth) Cook. My mothers maiden name is Cooke. I have my great grandfather Edgar Cookes diary’s and although there is no mention of the story in them, it has been family folklore for obviously many years now. My great-great grandfathers name was Joseph Cooke and he was the son and grandson of 2 other Joseph Cookes. One of whom was the son of Hannah (Wadsworth) and Aaron Cooke, whom they name after Capt Joseph Wadsworth. Hannah Cooke is mentioned in Joseph Wadsworths will. I have many family documents going back to 1677, one of which is the burial papers for Sir Edmund Andros, whom Joseph Wadsworth grabbed the Charter out of his hands before hiding it. I have land deeds, documents from Secretary John Allyn whose daughter Martha married the 3rd Arron Cooke who were in laws to Joseph Wadsworth. I have a document from James Wadsworth when he was an Assistant to the Governor of the Colony. I live in Farmington, CT, which is just outside of Harwinton, and many of our family still live in that area including Watertown and surrounding areas. I am also on the Board of the Directors (as of last night) of the Ancient Burying Grounds in Hartford, where it is believed that Joseph Wadsworth may have been buried, but his grave is unknown. Although a great many fallen stones have just been located in the churches basement. I am in the process of writing a book on our familys role in the founding of CT and would like to share any ifo that you may have. Through Aaron Cooke, our family played a vital role in the CT Charter, the founding of many towns, as well as designing and building the “First CT State House in 1713” as well as survying the layout of many towns such as Glassenberry (Glastonbury). Please let me know if you are interested in corresponding further. | Family F2073

| 2902 | Son of David Brooks, Andrew M. Brooks living in Minden, Montgomery Co., NY in the 1880 census. Boarding at a lawyers house with many other people who seem to be doing similar types of work. Probably work for a business all together and the house boards them. He is single in this census. According to the 1900 census he is living back in Cherry Valley, Otsego Co., NY with a wife of 15 years Elizabeth and a daughter Mary L. 14 years old, born June 1885. Mary is their only child. Andrew N. is indicated as being born June 1850. They own their home free of mortgage. Andrew is still working as a tinsmith. The 1910 census has him as Andrew M. again still living in Cherry Valley. Possibly Mary died before 1910. Andrew is still actively working as a tinsmith at a hardware store. In the 1920 census they are still around, living at Main Street. Andrew is still working as a tinsmith, this time in a creamery. By 1930 Andrew is a widower, but still working. | BROOKS, Andrew (I508)

Name: Arthur A Hamm Race: White, includes Mexican (White) Rank: Enlisted Man Admission Age: 22 Birth Date: abt 1922 Admission Date: Sep 1944 Discharge Date: Apr 1944 Military Branch: Coast Artillery, General or Unspecified Diagnosis: Diagnosis: Neuralgia, other Type of Injury: Disease Injured in Line of Duty: In line of duty Type of Discharge: Duty Length of service: 2 Year(s), 5 Month(s) Service Number: 16024148 jensancestors.wordpress.com post May 4, 2016: Like father, like son… I am finding that newspaper research is becoming my favorite part of genealogy because I have been able to find so many family stories that have become lost, deliberately or just due to the passing of time. So here I introduce Arthur Albert Hamm. Born in 1922, he was the middle child of my great grandfather Fred Hamm and Emma Paugel. All three of their children were illegitimate, or to be less crass ‘born out of wedlock.’ Fred and Emma did eventually marry in 1931, but I am not sure what the hold up was as both were divorced from their previous spouses by 1921. As per his modus operandi, it is doubtful that Fred was living with the family in 1935. That is the year their youngest son Clarence was killed in an automobile accident. According to the 1940 census, Fred was noted as living in Minnesota in 1935, so my gut is saying that he had probably left shortly after their marriage. Again. All previous research indicates that Grandpa Fred was a love-em and leave-em type of guy, so I don’t know why he would treat this wife any differently. Fred’s sons, Arthur and Raymond, both joined the Army in 1942. Arthur joined up in January of that year. When Raymond (Alfred) was killed in Africa in 1943 Art was sent home on furlough to be with his Mother and half-sister for the funeral. Sometime between 1941 and 1944 he had married, and had two children with Bernice Schultz. Arthur survived the war and came home to Door County and life went on, as it is wont to do, for a few years. Then one day in April of 1949…[missing article] A few days later the paper reports…[dragging lake article] Ah, but here’s the kicker. Arthur Albert Hamm died February 15, 1989 in Livingston, Park County, Montana. Prostate cancer and emphysema were the cause of death. Arthur A Hamm, 62, of Livingston died Friday Feb 15, 1989 in the afternoon at the Livingston Convalescent Center following an extended illness. Graveside services will be held Wed. at 2pm at Mountain View Cemetery. Lowry Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Mr. Hamm was born May 5, 1922 in Fairland, MN. He worked in Park County for a number of years as a logger and ranch hand. From 1974-1980, he worked on a seismograph crew in Tulsa, OK. He came back to Livingston in 1981 and had made his home here since. There are no known survivors.” His wife (ex-wife?) Bernice had told the children he was dead. She later married a man who eventually adopted Art’s children. I guess in Grandpa Fred’s favor is the fact that a no time did he pretend to die or go missing. As far as we know he pretty much just packed up and left, with no subterfuge. His son Arthur was apparently a bit more of a diva. jensancestors.wordpress.com post May 24, 2017: Hamm shenanigans… I don’t know what was in the water where the Hamm family grew up, but it appears to have nurtured a bad gene, (and made for a lot of WTF moments). Case in point. Do you remember Fred Hamm’s son Arthur Albert Hamm (also my grandmother’s half-brother)? He was the diva who faked his disappearance/death in Door County in 1949 then showed up dead in Montana in 1985. Well it appears that Arthur was a busy man in the mean time, who had developed the bad habit of taking things that weren’t his. The above pictures show: on the left Arthur with his wife Bernice, probably when they were married, about 1943; and on the right is Arthur’s 1953 mug shot, in Montana. It appears that between his disappearance and his death, Arthur spent a lot of time committing crimes to make a living instead of legitimately working for one. On September 27, 1953 an article appeared in the Sunday morning issue of the Montana “Billings Gazette.” Arthur A. Hamm, aged 31, had been arrested on Friday, in connection with break-ins in the area. Arthur who when arrested had the money bag in his possession, admitted to breaking into a safe at the S&W Implement Company in Columbus. In the October 3 issue of the same paper it was reported that Arthur had three felony warrants issued for him in regards to this arrest. One for the S&W burglary, one for the Nystul Lumber Company burglary, and also for the theft of a truck from S&W. Apparently through this arrest it was learned that there was also a warrant out by the U.S. Army, and another in different county in Montana, (for the theft of a saddle from a prevous employer). He was unable to raise the $1500 bond so was still in jail pending his hearing. At his hearing on the 20th of October he plead guilty, so there was no trial. The court sentenced Arthur to 10 years of hard labor at the Montana State Prison. (10 years for each burglary count, and 5 years for the theft of a vehicle. He was to serve each sentence concurrently.) Interesting facts come to light in his prison record. The most interesting being his previous dealings with the law: In 1940 he spent 10 days in jail in Fargo, North Dakota for vagrancy; problems in 1942 with the War department, and in 1952 with the Army (in Spokane Washington), no reasons were named; lastly the Columbus, Montana burglary arrest. From this one record we can also see that Arthur moved around quite a bit, probably committing other crimes that he got away with. He had been in Kansas previous to Montana, along with Fargo, North Dakota, and Spokane, Washington. After he was released from the Montana State Prison, he worked in Park County for a number of years as a logger and ranch hand. From 1974-1980, he worked on a seismograph crew in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He then went to Livingston, Montana in 1981 and died there a few years later, single. His prison record, found at Ancestry.com, does not state when he was released. So I don’t know if he served his full term. There is an interesting history regarding the prison, and if he served his full 10 years, then he was there during three riots in the late 1950s. You can read about them at Wikipedia. The prison is now known as the Old Prison Museum in Deer Lodge, Montana. | HAMM, Arthur Albert (I2412)

| 2944 | STANFIELD FAMILY FROM ENGLAND TO CHESTER COUNTY, PA Francis Stanfield m. Grace ______ Deborah Stanfield m. 1701 Richard Woodward, Jr. Francis Stanfield from Garten, Cheshire, England, arrived in Chester County, Pennsylvania, aboard the Endeavor in the 7th month, 1683, with his wife, Grace and their children: James, Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth, Grace and Hannah. With them on board were servants Isaiah Brookeby, William Rudway and Thomas Massey (who later settled in Marple). Francis and Grace Stanfield died in Marple, Chester County, PA. before 1700. 1. James Stanfield maried Mary Hutchinson 4/27/1690 in Philadelphi MM 2. Mary Stanfield b. 1672 in Garten, Eng. m. William Huntley 2/4/1691/2 in Chester County, PA. 3. Sarah Stanfield married first __ Clows and 2nd Edward Bennett about 1797. Their child was Joseph Bennett 4. Elizabeth Stanfield was born 1670 in Garten, Eng. and m. Thomas Hope in Chester County, PA 5. Grace Stanfield married Francis Chadsey 8/15/1695 in Concord MM, and 2nd Gwain Stephenson 7/16/1714 in Chester MM 6. Hannah Stanfield married Isaac Few 1/27/1698/99 in Chester MM The daughter, Deborah Stanfield, was probably born in 1683 or 1684 and in 1701 married Richard Woodward, Jr. as his second wife. See the site of Jerry F. Richmond Stanfield Family Genforum -------------------------- Deborah Stanfield Woodward died probably before 1737 and perhaps earlier. At the marriage of son James Woodward to Ann Pyle at Concord Monthly Meeting on 21 April 1737, Richard Woodward signed the marriage certificate as parent but Deborah was not in attendance and may have been deceased. The same could be said for the marriage of William and Eliza Marshall Woodward in 1733 where Deborah is also not in attendance. This is not necessarily definitive as people could also be too ill to attend or have small children to care for. She was definitely deceased at least a year before Richard's marriage to Susannah Cureton as the waiting period would have been enforced where Richard had no small children to care for. | STANFIELD, Deborah (I1729)

| 2950 | Stephen probably went to New Jersey with his brother, Samuel, when they were young men. In a property deed he made giving his Lyme land to his unmarried brother John in 1748, he noted that he was living in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was here he met and married Athaliah Updike. They later moved to Winchester, where he died May 8, 1750. [no source for this information found online!] The following found online regarding research by Mike Morrissey: There is a deed, registered in Lyme, Connecticut giving the residence of Stephen Minor: "I, Stephen Minor, formerly of Lyme, now of Maidenhead in the county of Huntedon in Ye Jerseys." Stephen Minor is listed in the 1744 tax rolls of Frederick Co, Virginia. Athelia is in a listing of members of the Goshen church in Greene Co, Pennsylvania of who had died before 1799. The church was started in 1773. The best genealogy of the family seems is in the book "Thomas Minor Descendants, 1608-1981.” The Minor family migration appears to be: Stephen Minor moved from Lyme, Connecticut to Maidenhead, Mercer County, New Jersey where he met Athelia Updike, whom he married about 1733 In the early 1740s the Minor family moved to Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia After Stephen’s death in 1750 the family moved back to New Jersey, probably soon after, but at least by 1760 Between 1765-1775, John moved to Greene County, Pennsylvania, followed by most of the rest of the family | MINOR, Stephen (I1918)
