Jim, I realize it has been over a year since your posting, but wondered if anyone had been able to assist you with the Lake County marriages you needed.
I will be going to the court house this next week to search for some marriages, and would be more than happy to search for your info.

C. Dewitt Baker of Lake County.

billluvsbeer — 2009-09-24 11:55:25Z

Looking for descendants C Dewitt Baker (January 30, 1914 - March 23, 1996) who died in Plainsville. He was the son of Lynn Baker of Greenville, PA, and grandson of Arnold Baker of Sparta Township PA. Arnold and Lynn are buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Spartansburg, PA. My Baker ancestors lived across the county line in Erie County, PA.

I don't know of Dewitt had children; but if so I have family history information to exchange.

Re: Thomas L Colby

Pyroreb — 2009-08-30 21:44:22Z

Ha ha, yes I believe we have a winner. I have faith in Ronald "The Colby God." I'll email you everything I have on Thomas L Colby and his wife Eliza Ann Gordon including all of his kids. Thomas and Eliza are my gggg grandparents on my dad's side and you're in luck because a distant relative and I have recently discovered a gold mine of Gordon info. Thomas's father is proving to be a researchers nightmare. The only possible parent I have for him is a Caleb Colby living with him in the 1850 Orange, Cuyahoga, Ohio census but he fails to reappear after that and probably succumbed to old age ..but the mystery remains because I cannot find him buried ANYWHERE in Cuyahoga county. I'll email you with more information.

Re: John Colby

Pyroreb — 2009-08-30 00:16:07Z

"In the 1920 census Archie is living with Gertrude Prentice d/o Albert C Colby and he is listed as cousin." This is what confirms John as Thomas's son. Getrude "Gertie" Ardelle Colby would have had a cousins named Archie and Amos - you're are 100% right. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Re: Thomas L Colby

pam13173 — 2009-08-29 20:53:39Z

Andrew,

Did you see Ronald Colby's latest post? According to this, it appears that your Thomas Colby is the father of my John L. Colby. That means that in some way, we are distant cousins! Because this is my Dad's birth family,I would love to start collecting photos of Colbys--to see if there is a family resemblance. Can you send me the details on your own Colby line? In other words, how you descend from this Thomas Colby? I will gladly send you the information on our line if you like--just let me know.

My Dad was born Jan. 22, 1922 in Cleveland, OH and was named Harry Colby. When he was adopted approx. 3-4 years later, his name was changed to James William Russell, after his adoptive father, William Russell.

I look forward to hearing back from you at your convenience and will gladly share the rest of my family's information.

I hope you are having a great weekend==it has been really hot here in San Diego--temps in the 100's and upper 90's! Very unusual for us.

Re: John Colby

RonColby41 — 2009-08-29 12:04:44Z

Andrew and Pam

Several people on the Colby list on Rootsweb have jumped on this. Both your families are related.

John Colby s/o Thomas L Colby and Eliza Ann Gordon. John Colby married (1st) Mary Sexton b. 1851 d. 24 Jul 1878 (2nd)1878 Jane L Gilmon.

John and Mary's Children:
Archie T Colby b. 1871
Amos Lester Colby b. 17 Feb 1873

John and Jane's child:
Elmer Wesley Colby b. 18 May 1880

In the 1920 census Archie is living with Gertrude Prentice d/o Albert C Colby and he is listed as cousin.

We have yet to connect Thomas L Colby's father Caleb into the main Colby family. But the search goes on.

Re: Mary J Colby

Ronald,

Mary J. Colby, b. 1905, was my father's birth mother. He was born in 1922 in Cleveland, OH and she was listed as his mother on the birth certificate as unmarried and 17. I am trying to find any pictures or other information on this Colby family that I can share with my father. He has never seen any blood relatives and this would be such a gift for him. Do you know anyone with any such information? Where do you fit into this Colby family? Do you have any other people you are in touch with who are connected to this line?

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Pam Russell

Re: John L Colby

pam13173 — 2009-08-26 04:22:30Z

The information I have on John L. Colby is that he was born in Ohio in May 1846. He married Jane L. Gilmon (date unknown) who was born May 1844 in Ohio. I have two children--am sure there must have been more--Elmer W. Colby, born May 1880 and Amos Colby, born 1874.

If you have any additional information on the Colby line, I would love to work with you to see if we can connect your Thomas to the Ohio Colbys. It would have made some sense that Colbys from Vermont might have moved to the Western Reserve in Ohio.

pam13173 — 2009-08-26 00:32:04Z

Andrew,

Thanks so much for your reply. I would love to see the tintype of Elmer. I do have John and Jane Colby listed as the parents of my Elmer. Elmer was my father's birth grandfather, and I would love to show Dad a picture of any of his relatives, as he was adopted. Elmer married Stella (Henrietta) Cole, and they had I think 3 daughters. Mary was my birth grandmother--Dad's mom. Daddy is still alive and well at 87.5 years, and this would be such a treat, as he has never known any relatives.

My email is pam@thefullpotential.com if you want to email me directly. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing back from you. I am sure we are distant cousins!

I did not know of a half brother until recently if you have family history of Albert Kolk and Ettie Vrieze and care to share it I would be very thankful. Also I only have the Boltjes history back to Geerd Edes Boltjes and Fenne Harms but do not have date of births etc. Any information on the Boltjes side farther back would also be appreciated. thank you!!!!

hi, Rootsweb didn't notify me of this post, apparently (or the old memory's slipping again!) so I'm just finding this note today.
Thank you for the look-ups, they give me direction even though nothing was found.
are you related?
since posting this, I've found several things out about the family, though much needs cleared up, still. Catherine's maiden name is Sholts, though I haven't found her ancestry.
this reminds me to ask again for Mary Ann's death record. no response came, so I shall check again.
I've been so busy this year I'm a bit rusty on the research and need to re-examine it.

It lists a W. Lampshire under "Saloons" and the location is "opposite depot."

I have tried to find him (W. or William Lampshire) in the US census and other sources but have failed. Anyone have any information on him?

Also of a son Leonard, but this one states Stella's maiden name was Gilmore. This cert. states father Elmer of Kirtland.

Pam,

I have Colby blood as well, but Elmer's name caught my eye. The 1860 Hamden, Geauga, Ohio census lists a Elmer W Colby born in 1852 - probably his father. I suspect Elmer W. Sr may be the brother of my great great great grandmother Amelia Ann Colby who also had a brother Albert C. Colby. Amelia's father was born in Vermont in 1809. Email me and I'll explain my theories. The Colby's are an elusive bunch...

Morley library in Painesville has an obituary listed for Mrs. Will Gaffney, d. 1904. It appears in The Telegraph June 2, 1904 page 1 and again on June 9, page. 8. If you email them your request for copies, they will send them out to you. The cost is minimal.

I have a Kate Gaffney who married John Knight. John was a brother to my grandmother Bessie. Looking again at the census, it looks like Kate and William may have been brothers? Both Kate and John are buried in Evergreen also. Do you have any of this in your records? Will be in touch later. Thanks for writing-Linda in Michigan.

She was married to William H. Gaffney. She had 3 children, one survived (my Grandmother). She was the daughter of Franklin Flood and Jerusha Kirby. My Grandmother was two years old when her mother, Etta, died. Any information or help would be so much appreciated. Thank you.

Good Morning Linda,
I was so excited to get your note this am---yes, Kate (Katie Estelle Gaffney) and my Grandpa William Gaffney are brother and sister. I do have Aunt Kate marrying John Knight. I have some old photos of Aunt Kate that I just got this past winter from my Aunt. Thank you so much for the info about Morley Lib., I will call them this week. Grandma Etta Flood Gaffney has been such a "mystery Grandma" to me as she died when my Grandma (her daughter Evelyn) was only 2 years old.
I would love to communicate and share information if you would like---I do not know if I have anything that you may need.
Where in Michigan are you? I am from Ludington, but live in Texas.

Thanks again, I look forward to hearing from you.
Debbie

Thanks for your information. My information is quite old and could be inaccurate--I am just restarting this research after over 20 years! If you have any other ideas for me I would really appreciate them.

Ichabod Adams, 1788-1853, MA > OH

sagieseler — 2009-04-05 01:50:17Z

Seeking information about the parents and any siblings of Ichabod Adams. He purportedly was born 7 or 20 Jul 1788 somewhere in Massachusetts. At some time before 20 Jun 1820 (when he married Polly Talcott) he moved to Madison, Ohio. He died in Madison, Lake County, Ohio, on 16 Sep 1853. I have found no information confirming his date and place of birth, or identifying the names of his parents or any siblings.
