2301 REF: Sharon Edwards
Doug, Thanks for the new information on Orpha's descendants. I am the descendant of Mary Elizabeth Knapp, Orpha's sister. She married Cornelius Wyble in 1850 and they moved to Eaton County, Michigan. (Cornelius and Mary are my great great grandparents). Another sister, Clarissa Knapp, married Anthony Wyble, the brother of Cornelius and they too came to Michigan. I'm sorry that I don't have any information about Orpha though. The death records for both Mary and Clarissa name their parents as Parmelia Baker and Bishop Knapp. I'm sure Kay has told you how Brundrage's ancestors have not been identified yet. I also can't find the parents of Parmelia. There are no death records for either Bishop or Parmelia/Pamela. I had the Norwalk Library in Huron Co., Ohio try to find these, plus I wrote to the East Norwalk Cemetery where they are buried. That was another dead end. Kay says there is a will for Bishop in the probate records of Huron Co. on LDS Film #0410272. The will was made 5 Jan 1867 and Bishop died 4 days later. I have not looked this up yet, but her notes say it names Pamela as his wife, but doesn't name his children. She suggests that we see who the land went to after Pamela's death. That was in 1873. I need to do this.

I am in Austin, TX. Often we go in to Houston to the large genealogical library there. I'll look into what I can find on Zadock Martin the next time we go. Sharon Edwards

REF: Merle (Lang) Baker
Dear Doug: Your information is very interesting. I am sure that the person who took the information originally wrote phonetically. I am sure that Boelner was right spelling. That was my grandmother Stahlhuth's maiden name. Charlotta was her sister. I did not know she lost her first husband, but the Mittelberg name was right. They owned a very valuable farm right in the point where the Missouri and Mississippi flow together, They had a son, Jim, who was mentally insecure, who married a very lovely school teacher, but when she found out about his very peculiar ways, she thought to leave him. He
threatened suicide, and she stayed as long as she could stand it, and then left. He did kill himself leaving her with a young son . My saintly father was left to clean up the mess and had the remains cremated. The widow went to Texas with the son who also had a mental problem. There they both died.
This tragedy happened when I was a little girl about 8 or 9 years old Probably in 1915 or 16. but I remember it well. Hope this reinforces your information, Merle

NOTE: ...CLONTZ, CLONTS and CLAUNCH are all and the same family.... three known brothers: John, George and Jeremiah emigrated in 1710 from the Palatine (now Germany) ... to Leyden, Holland....and thence to England as political refugees...Queen Anne had promised Palatines 40 acres of land once they had paid for their passage to the New World by supplying tar and other naval resources. They were left stranded when other avenues of support began to be used... at least Jeremiah made it to Ulster,Ireland and eventually to PA then to Lunenburg Co (now Mecklenburg Co) NC. Names were recorded there in Tax and Deed records as CLAUNCH, later CLONTS and CLONTZ as those in GA used. There is more and can be found on LDS#1320921, item #9.

I would like to know how you deduced that Jeremiah Clontz and Hans Micheal Glantz are one and the same. My info is that Jeremiah Clontz was born 1715 in Ulster,Ireland and married Sophia E. Erwin 1740 in Ulster,Ireland I have not seen one record of Jeremiah and a Margaret togather. Are you sure we are talking about the same families? I have Jeremiah and Sophia's children as:
Jeremiah b:Feb.10,1756 d:Nov.30,1840 NC m:Anna Catherine Long 1782Mecklinburge, NC

REPLY from Mike
Here is one way out of this dilemna. Hieronymous Glantz, born about 1703 in the Palatinate, with wife Maria Margarette (Magdalene), has eldest child Jeremiah in the Netherlands, assumming that the birth dates of 1703 for Hieronymous and 1715 for Jeremiah are only approximate. Anna Margaret is b. 1723, John Michael (or Hans) is b. later. They eventually go to Ireland and remain there until about 1732, at which time Hieronymous and wife and the two younger children take the Adventure to Philadelphia.
The eldest child, Jeremiah, who might be fifteen, say, is left behind (with others?). He marries an Irish girl Sophie about 1740, and perhaps around 1750 he and Sophie go to America, to Virginia, where in the meantime father, mother and sibs have made their home. This Jeremiah CLONTZ has Jeremiah CLONCH, b. 1752, VA., as well as John, Barnett, Edmund, and Jacob. From 1748 to 1764 we have an almost continuous record of Hieronymous. In 1750 in Lunenburg he has two tithes as CLANCH and CLANSH. In 1751 in Lunenburg he is surety for Mary Smith. In 1752 in Halifax (Lunenburg), VA he has two tithes. In 1752, Hans Michael (John CLAUNCH) has one tithe in Lunenburg. Hans Michael marries Margaret and they have George CLONTZ, who marries Cloe CLINE, and Jeremiah (b. 1756), who marries Anna Catherine LONG. Jeremiah and Anna Catherine have Jeremiah who marries Sarah Catherine Rhine. George and brother Jeremiah (b. 1756) go to NC and in the Rev. War are patriots. George is wounded. Father Hieronymous is a Loyalist. Jeremiah (b. 1752) and perhaps also Hieronymous settle in Montgomery Co., VA. In 1774, Jeremiah advertises a stray horse there, and in 1775 he receives a land grant of 80 acres, both sides of Chestnut Creek. In 1777 he swears allegiance to the Commonwealth of VA and refuses allegiance to George III. In 1781 he is listed as "not fit for military duty." Brothers John, Barnett, Edmund, and Jacob are on the muster lists for 1781. Barnett is listed as missing from the list for 1782. Jeremiah (b. 1752) is in Mecklenburg in 1782 with six whites in his household. He marries Jane (McGuire?) and they have Jeremiah CLONCH who marries Elizabeth Kelly.
Finally, we might want to consider the following. We have a George CLAUNCH/CLONTZ b. Germany 1770. Some of his descendants ended up in KY. (according to LDS fiche). We have a Jacobi and Annae Mariae CLONTZ whose six children, Anna Maria, Catherina, Bernardus, Mathias, Petrus, Susanna, and Valentinus were baptized Catholic in Karlsruhe in the Rhineland between 1780 and 1786. We have a Dominick CLANCHI, b. abt 1655 in La Chambre who married Margueritte Hennequin. His father was Didier CLANCHI, mother Jakoba SIMONIS. Dominick was baptized in St. Avold, Moselle, France and resided in Bisten, Saarland, Germany. Dominick is clearly a CLANCY. HENNEQUIN is an Irish name, and both DIDIER and SIMONIS are Huguenot names of Ireland. The name CLANCHE is located primarily in the Moselle/Saarland/Palatinate region. GLANCE and CLANCE are forms of CLANCY, which was usually pronounced CLANCHY. Hieronymous is accurately translated not Jeremiah but Jerome, which suggests that Hieronymous was baptized Catholic. And finally, of the two ships lists for the Adventure of 1732, one has him as Hieronymous GLANTZ, the other as Jeremy GLANCE.
Why the difference? Also, if the Adventure was from Rotterdam, last from Cowes, where did Hieronymous take ship, assuming that he resided in Ireland for awhile?

Francis Coombs was a Selectman in Middleboro in 1674-5, 1680.
On 2 Dec 1656 Samuel Cutbert of Plymouth sold to Francis Coombe of Plymouth land which was sometimes possessed by John Combe, gent. (This probably indicates Francis was 21 years old by then).
On 5 June 1666 the court granted to Fancis Combe, as by right of his father, who was an ancient freeman, the right to look for land for his accommodation.
On 8 March 1682/3 Deborah Combe and Marcye Combe, daus. of Mr Francis Coombe are placed; the youngest left with Andrew Ringe and his wife, Lettice Ring, who is grandmother thereunto, and the other the eldest, left with John Morton, who is uncle thereunto until they attain the
age of 17 years.
On 6 March 1682/3 the court provided for the care of children Deborah Combe and Mercy Combe.
John Richmond of Taunton and Mistris Mary Combe were appointed to administer the estate of Mr Francis Combe 9 June 1683. Inv. of Mr Francis Combe of Middleboro was dated 5 Jan 1682. Mistris Mary Combe licensed to keep an ordinary at "Middleberry" 1 July 1684.
On 13 March 1697 Mercy Coombs and Lidiah Coombs "for ourselves and in behalfe of the rest of our sisters" took possession of the mill and farm in Middlebury which was their father's.
A division of the estate of Francis Coombs of Middleboro dated 15 May 1711 mentions Mary Wood, late widow, relict of sd. deceased; Ralph Jones and wife Deborah, Frances Coombs; Samuel Barows and wife Mercy; John Miller and wife Lydia; Ebnezer Bennett and wife Ruth. In a further division of 2 Feb 1712 Frances is then married to Nathan Howland.

REF:
Mary's sister Ann married John Pratt, her husband Samuel's brother.
After Samuel's early death Mary would go on to marry twice more, including to Francis Coombs, her brother-in-law and first cousin of Samuel, who had two children by his first wife. Francis and Mary had three children. There are various land records in Plymouth involving Francis, "yeoman". By 1674 he was living in Middleboro where he died December 31 1682. It would seem that Mary only kept her own three children because shortly afterwards, on 8 March 1682/3, the Court placed the two children by Francis' first wife with their mother's relatives (the children would have been about 9 and 7). Mary would go on to marry a third time, on 5 March 1684/5 in Middleboro, to David Wood.

At the age of 46 she sailed with her daughters, Margaret, aged 16, Elizabeth, aged 14, on the 10 April 1635 from London aboard the "Planter" arriving in Boston, the following June. Her older children Susanna and Lettice may have come over with her brother Timothy Hatherly in 1632 on the William and Frances. Her father was probably born in Devonshire, about 1560 and died there, likely before 1590. Her mother was Elinor (_?_) who died in Fremington, Devon in 1637. She married 3rd William

2321 REF: The Ancestry & Descendants of Isaac Barden of Middleborough and Scituate, RI
William Barden was a covenant servant of Thomas Boardman, bound for a seven year service. It is thought that he arrived in New England in the year 1638. On Dec 1 1638, having served Boardman only seven months he was transferred to John Barker of Marshfield to serve for the rest of the period and to learn the trade of a brick layer. If the termination of the period of service coinsided with the coming of age of William Barden, as was most often the case, this would make him twenty-one years of age in the summer of 1645 and place his birth in the year 1624.

John Barker, his master, was in Marshfield, as a proprietor, as early as Nov. 5, 1638, where he plied his trade as a brick layer and also served as as
ferryman over the Jones River. It is probable that William was in Marshfield during this period and that he served many a time as boatman. In 1643 William was recorded as a resident of Marshfield and capable of bearing arms. John Barker was drowned at sea. On Dec 17, 1652 his estate was placed in the hands of his widow for administration. A division of the estate was made on Jun 9 1653 and the daughters, Anna, Deborah and Mary were to receive their shares at the age of twenty-one. It was this Deborah Barker who became the wife of William Barden

Stephen invariably called Wood at Plymouth in all early records, but almost always Atwood on the Cape. Some of his sons were entered on records at times as Wood, but descendants finally all used the name Atwood.

Stephen (with Andrew Ring) was in charge of the herring weir at Plymouth in 1643. In 1648 listed as a Freeman at Eastham. Served on Grand Jury at Plymouth in June 1650 and on the Petty Jury in October 1648 and October 1650. Made constable by Plymouth on June 3, 1650, but was sworn in at Eastham. In 1654 Plymouth appointed him surveyor of highways for Eastham.

Earliest land record for him at Eastham is 1654 when received a meadow grant. In 1655 Eastham assessed residents for a "common store" and Stephen assessed himself 16s. In 1655 also, the inhabitants of Eastham were divided into groups of five for the propagation of cattle. Stephen was in group with Thomas Prince, Nicholas and Mark Snow, and Thomas Atkins.

In 1673 Eastham made agreement with Stephen in which town took his land, with his "new room and chimney," in exchange for a tract on the Billingsgate Road. He was given until October to move the rest of his buildings to the new site. The town paid him 30 pounds and each inhabitant of the town gave him one day's labor, provided it was not demanded during planting or harvest.

In 1680 Stephen was one of five men delegated to put a stop to Indians' cutting timber, gathering pine knots, and running tar on the common lands of Eastham. The Indians were given one week to remove the results of their past labor.

He probably was in jail for debt at one time and in 1635-6, came to Plymouth, where he is earlier of record because of business dealings with John Doane. It seems possible that William Crowe, who eventually inherited John Atwood's property, was a son of the above John Crowe and his mother may have been a Lee. This John Atwood has many pages in Bradford's History. It is at least a coincidence that his younger brother, John Wood, alias Atwood, the leather seller, at one time was trustee for Henry Sewell of Newbury, New England and in the settlement part of the property went to John Herbert, and, that William Crowe's sister married a John Herbert.

41. David11 Wood (Henry10, John (Johannes)9 , Nicholas8 Atwood, John Hewson7, John6, John5 Atte_Wode, Peter4, Peter3, William2, Peter1) was born in Middleboro, Plymouth, MA 17 October 1651. David died 31 December 1700 in Middleboro, Plymouth, MA, at 49 years of age.

He married Mary Barker 5 March 1685 in Scituate, Plymouth, MA. Mary was born 1647 in Marshfield, Plymouth, MA. She was the daughter of John Barker and Anna Williams. David was 24 when the King Philip's War broke out. Nearly every house in Middleboro was burned by the Indians early in 1676, and a pitched battle was fought at Middleboro in 1675, a little north of the "Town House" across the Nemasket. He would have surely been involved in this battle for the defense of his town.

David Wood and Mary Barker had the following children:

56 i. John12 Wood was born in Middleboro, Plymouth, MA 19 March 1686. He married Sarah Barden about 1711. Sarah was born 30 April 1695 in Middleboro, Plymouth, MA.

57 ii. David Wood was born in Middleboro, Plymouth, MA 29 March 1688. David died 29 July 1738 in Middleboro, Plymouth, MA, at 50 years of age. He married Joanna Tilson.

+ 58 iii. Jebez Wood was born 1 July 1691.

Almeda and her husband James Lucas, moved to Battle Creek, Michigan. James was the son of Basil Lucas. James served in the Civil War and was active all four years. There were stories of those war years when he was teamed up with another man known as "Butt-Cut" because of his immense size, while James was known as "Bantam". This team of Butt-Cut and Bantam were famous thoughout their division of the army for being able to get information and provisions through enemy lines. Strict orders against foraging in the enemy's land was supposedly maintained, but Bantam would find a likely prospect of a calf or a fattening hog hidden out for safe keeping by some rebel family, and the team would pick it up. Bantam would catch and bleed it, then Butt-Cut would take over an carry it back to camp to feed certain officers and give a change of diet with something "fresh" to the men of this unit. Apparently they were attached to the transportation branch of the service, for James' work was around horses and James became a farrier or shoer of horses in later years. Ultimately he became a veterinarian.

Upon reaching manhood, John learned wagon making, and followed this trade a short time in his native State of Virginia. Then, deciding on removal, he started with his family overland with teams to Ohio, settling in Hamilton County as early as 1812. A short time later he moved to Clinton County (Union Township) where he farmed rented land. Later he purchased a few acres which he owned a short time. His next move was to Greene County where he became an extensive land owner, eventually giving each of his children a farm. The brick house he built at the south edge of Bowersvile in 1837 was still standing and occupied in 1973. There is a story that this house was an underground railway station during the Civil War days, there being a covered trap door in the kitchen floor to a cellar beneath that had no other means of entry. It was here that runaway slaves could hide during the daylight before resuming their flight northward the next night. John belonged to the German Reformed Church. He was an old time Whig, later a Republican and a follower of Thomas Payne. His wife, Patience Stediven, was the daughter of John & Sarah Stediven. (Also appears as Studiven and Sturdyven). Her brother married Polly, John's sister. It was at the home near Bowersville that John's parents spent their last days.

At this point with Henry, the "De" was omitted from the Spencer line. This statement may not be correct, as the connection between the DeSpencer line and the Spencer was disproven by John Horace Round in his book Peerage Studies and Allied Families. In order to show that I will present here some excerpts of his book and other sources. Source: Peerage of England, Volume 1 by Arthur Collin, published about 1785, with Addenda by Sir Egerton Brydeges, K.J., 1812, printed by AMS Pres Inc., New York, NY 10003, 1970.

Smith, Soho Square, prefaced by Lee Wooton, December, 1869. The history of the SPENCERS' begins in this book on page 706 with Sir John Spencer of Snittenfield, later of Wormleighton and Hodell and Althorp. He died in 1522. The lineage in this volume descends down to Henry Spencer, Third Lord Spencer, and first Earl of Sunderland. He succeeded his father, Sir Robert Spencer, first Lord Spencer, who died at Wormleighton in 1627. Sir Henry succeeded his father in 1637 and he died in 1643 at the the Battle of Newbury. (Mynotes: Here again we can find no connection with Henry of Badby, Northamptonshire. Source: Family Origins, Chapter VII, The Rise of the Spencers, by John Horace Round, publisher and date are not known to me at this time. pps 279-329. In this disertation, Mr. Round proceeds to disprove the connection of the Le De Spencer line and the Spencer line. He mentions where: " The family of Spencer of Wormleighton and Althorpe recorded in its pedigree at the Hearlds Vistionation of the County of Northampton in 1564 (H.IV in Coll.Arms) beginning with Sir John Spencer of Hodnell, in the County of Warwick Kt who died in 1521. At that time no pretension was made to a descent from the Despencers or of any relationship to the Earls of Winchester and Gloucester, nor was there the least similitude in the arms. Clarencieux Lee in 1595 made a pedigree for the then Sir John Spencer of Wormleighton and Althorpe, in which he drew the descednt nearly in the manner in which Dugdale has given it; he professes to have complied it from divers records, registers, wills, and other good sufficient proofs which he had diligently and carefully perused, and in his character of Clarencieux King of Arms he confims and allows it officially. Whatever the proofs which he saw and examined, I confess that I cannot give implicit credit to his work". On pps 325 and 326 we find: " One must repeat that Lee's deeds and persons may be genuine, but that he connected and combined them at his own sweet will (compare my article on "The Origin of the Thynnes" in Genealogist (N.S.) XI,193. It is, for instance, quite possible that he found a HENRY SPENCER obtaining a lease of tithes at Badby in 20 Hen. VI.(1441-1442), and that his wife's name was Isabel; for, although it has been supposed that there is now no evidence for this Henry, I have found Henry Spencer of Badby", with Isabel (Lincoln) his wife, occuring in 1468. (My notes: There again is the only mention of Henry and Isabel Spencer in his volume. Source: Genealogy of the Four Spencer Brothers, by Flora Clarke, under Michael, part 1, we find she starts with it off with John Spencer, who died at Edworth, Bedfordshire, 9 June 1558.

They begin the line with Henry of Badby. Source: Genealogical Bulletins, Number 4, The Spencer Family", LDSFHL Film 0496485, the author,unknown to me, begins the lineage with Robert Le Despencer. He sites many many references, but I believe, as Rounds states, there is no connection between the DeSpencer and the Spencers of our line. Source: The Spencers and Their Name, by B.F. Spencer, 1914, he begins the line with John Le Spencer of Southampton, 1273, Henry Le Spencer of Cambridge about the same time, Thomas and Agnes Spencer of Yorkshire in 1379, to John Spencer of Bedfordshire! There is much lacking in this lineage! And so with this, we must wondcr, where did Henry Spencer come from? How do we make the connection between him and John Spencer of Bedfordshire? Is this all speculation, or can it be proven? Is anyone pursuing this? I myself am trying via various Bulletin Board Systems and the Internet to make the connection, and hopefully in the near future will succeed in doing so. But I do believe we can put to "rest" the connection between the leDespencer line and our Spencer line, and concentrate on finding Henry's whereabouts and his ancestors.

J. H. HOBLIT, farmer, P. O. Port William, is a grandson of Michael Hoblit, who was born in Germany, where he grew to majority and married Catharine Veigle. They came to the United States about the time of the war of Independence and located in Pennsylvania, where he devoted his time to the potter's trade through life. He died near the close of the last century. His widow married for her second husband William Cochran, and came to Clinton County, Ohio, where she died about 1820, and he several years previous. Jesse H. is a son of William Hoblit, who was born in Pennsylvania May 19, 1783, where he grew to manhood and nobly assisted his widowed mother. He depended largely upon his own resources, and at an early age went to Lexington, Ky., where he learned the tanner and currier trade. Thence came to Ohio in 1808, and settled in what is now Clinton County, where he was drafted in the war of 1812, but furnished a substitute. Soon after coming to Ohio, he erected a tannery on the farm now owned by George Hayworth, Jr., and opened business. While there engaged, he married Margaret Shields, and continued to conduct his tannery in that building until about 1815, when he located on the farm now owned by our subject in Liberty Township, where he erected a tannery and resumed his business for many years. Success was his fortune and he became a large land-owner, endured many privations and hardships in clearing it up, but was nobly assisted by his industrious and obedient children. To his life is placed the credit of taking up a corner of the first log house erected in the present limits of Wilmington, and serving on the first jury that sat in Clinton County. The case was horse theft, tried in Jesse Hugh's barn in Union Township, and to the prisoner was given a number of lashes. These are notable events in the annals of this history. As a public man he filled many offices of trust, which were honorably filled. As a Christian and father he was firm and dutiful. He united with the Baptist Church in the year 1800, and was one of the few members that organized the church at Port William, then called Anderson's Fork. In 1809, he was elected Deacon, and in 1820 was one of the first subscribers to the Journal and Messenger. His death occurred December 13, 1870, after a long and useful life. Of him it could well be said, "A good man has fallen." His wife Margaret, who was a Christian companion and mother, died March 18, 1867. Their house was often the home of the pioneer ministers. They were the parents of twelve children, whom they raised in industry and virtue, and one a minister of the Gospel. This noble family was blessed with health, as death never entered until it claimed Margaret for its own. Jesse H., whose name heads this biography, was born on the farm where he now resides, March 17, 1816; here he grew to majority through the early days of Clinton County, and endured all the privations subject to such a life. His time was devoted to his father's tannery and on the farm. His educational privileges were very much limited, but through industry and determination he acquired sufficient education for teaching, in which occupation he was engaged for nineteen years with but three intervening winters. During this period, September 30, 1841, he married Mary A. Shrack, a sister of W. H. Shrack, whose biography appears in this volume. Jesse H. and wife located on his farm which he had previously purchased, where they remained until 1864, when they removed to the farm where we now find them. Mr. Hoblit by name and principle is a Republican, by which party he has been elected to many township offices, which he has filled with ability and success. They are the parents of two children, viz., James H., who contracted consumption in the late war, from which he died, and Abbie A., now Mrs. J. W. Sanders.

Biography of Thomas B. Stephenson
p. 954
THOMAS B. STEPHENSON is one of the ablest financiers and most public-spirited citizens in Sparta, where he is secretary of the Sparta Building & Loan Association and where he is likewise engaged in the fire-insurance business. He is connected with many of the city's enterprises of a business and other character and is a part of the old regime in domestic trade. He was born in Lancashire, England, on the 20th of November, 1855, and at the age of three years he accompanied his parents to America, location having been made in the vicinity of Toronto, Canada, from which point the mother, with her second husband, came to the States and settled at Sparta, Illinois.

The father of the subject of this review was Edward Stephenson, who died soon after his advent in Canada at the early age of thirty-two years. His wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Preston, was a native of the same locality as himself, and the issue of their union are: R. P., a Baptist minister at Lebo, Kansas; Christopher W., of Los Angeles, California; John H., of Sparta; Illinois; Dr. E. M., of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Thomas B., the immediate subject of this notice; Elizabeth, who married M. S. Crawford and resides at Pittsburg, Kansas; and Margaret, who wedded R. S. Burns, of Sparta, but who is now deceased. After a short widowhood Mrs. Stephenson married her husband's brother, John D. Stephenson, and in the year 1860 they became residents of the Sparta community.

Mr. Stephenson was a farmer until late in life, when he engaged in the calling of house carpenter and eased up the long period of his quiet life as such. He did not affiliate with politicians but was a stanch Republican in his party belief, filling some minor positions of trust and responsibility. He was called to the life eternal in the year 1907 and is survived by his widow, who is eighty-two years of age. Concerning the children born to this marriage, James S. and W. R. are business men at Sparta; Miss Sarah is superintendent of nurses at the Bethesda Home, St. Louis; Mary P., of Jacksonville, Florida; and Alonzo J., a member of the mercantile firm of Stephenson Brothers at Sparta. Thomas B. Stephenson was educated primarily in the schools of Sparta, completing his education in the Southern Illinois Normal University at Carbondale. He initiated his independent career as a teacher, followed that vocation in the country near Sparta for a few sessions and closed his work in the profession as one of the teachers of the Sparta schools. In 1892 he became interested in the general merchandise business in this city, beginning operations along that line with a stock of groceries and provisions, the store being conducted under the firm name of Stephenson & Beattie. Mr. Stephenson continued to be interested in this line of enterprise for the ensuing ten years, and during that period became identified with the Sparta Creamery Company, the first modern creamery in this section of the state. He was one of the prime movers in the establishment of the plant and was chosen its treasurer. During the same period he served as bookkeeper and assistant cashier of the Merchants' Exchange Bank, the successor of the bank of Crothers, Allen & Company.

In 1902 Mr. Stephenson abandoned the mercantile business in order to devote his attention to financial matters in the city and, to some extent, industrial matters as well. He was one of the promoters of the Sparta Pressed Brick Company and was long general manager of that concerns He was a moving spirit in the organization of the Sparta Building & Loan Association, brought into existence in 1886, prior to his entry into commercial pursuits. The latter company has experienced p. 955 a gradual growth and each year finds it a concern of more importance to the city than the year preceding. It has issued ninety-two series of stock, forty-seven of which have matured, and the assets of the association are three hundred and ten thousand dollars. Its first board of directors comprised James Bottom, John Frohard, R. H. Rosborough; T. B. Stephenson; S. W. McGuire; P. H. Murphy; H. R. Guthrie; W. M. Brown and John A. Holdoway. The first officers were: James Bottom, president; W. J. Burnett, secretary; J. C. Simpson, treasurer; and T. B. Stephenson, vice-president. The present officers of the company are: J. C. Simpson, president; W. J. Brown, vice-president; T. B. Stephenson, secretary; and A. L. Wilson, treasurer. In addition to the preceding business connections, Mr. Stephenson is secretary and general manager of the Wilson Brothers Coal Company, of Sparta, one of the leading mining companies here and large shippers of coal. The capacity of the company's mines amounts to six hundred tons daily.

Mr. Stephenson is possessed of splendid initiative and executive ability and inasmuch as his fine success in life is entirely the outcome of his own well directed endeavors it is the more gratifying to contemplate. In politics he is aligned as a stalwart in the ranks of the Republican party and he cast his first presidential vote for James A. Garfield. Mr. Stephenson is a strong believer in the, efficacy of the church. He is associated with Gospel Hall in Sparta, has served for fourteen years as county president of the Sunday-school association, is well known among the state workers, having attended a number of local and state conventions, and, in 1911, he was sent from Illinois as one of her delegates to the International Sunday-school Convention at San Francisco.

At Sparta, Illinois, on the 8th of October, 1879, Mr. Stephenson was united in marriage to Miss Mary J. Beattie, a daughter of Jacob Beattie, who came hither from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The Beattie family is one of old pioneer standing in Randolph county, having become identified with the affairs of this section of the state as early as 1812. Jacob Beattie died at Sparta in April, 1899, at the age of eighty years, and his cherished and devoted wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth McMillan, is now in Sparta. Concerning the children born to Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson the following record is here inserted, Edward B., a teacher of the sciences in the University of North Dakota, was educated in Knox College, at Galesburg, Illinois, where he received his Master of Science degree, after which he entered the University of Illinois, there receiving the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; Bertha Elizabeth, who became the wife of Hugh K. Wilson in 1910, was graduated in Knox College and for two years was a teacher of Latin in the Sparta high school; and Carl C., who was graduated in Knox College with the degree of Bachelor of Science, is associated with his father in business at Sparta. He married Miss Lela Dean, of Traverse City, Michigan.

There are many court records found in Essex County for William Durkee/Durgy. Nothing has been found of William's death. (Butler p. 91) William Durkee is recorded as at Dover, NH in 1684, and his name appears on Essex county deeds as late as 1713

William DURKEE (Durgy) was born in Ireland about 1632 and may have been the first Irishman to settle in the Massachussets Bay Colony. He arrived on Nov. 9, 1663 as the indentured servant of Thomas Bishop, having been in the Barbados, probably as a slave of Cromwells. Martha CROSS was born Feb. 14, 1643 of Robert and Anna/Hanna (Jordon). Martha was probably employed in the household of Thomas Bishop. They married in Ipswich, Mass. on Dec. 20, 1664 after Robert Cross sued William for abusing his daughter and William countersued Robert for withdrawing his consent to marriage after giving it. Two weeks later, their first child John was born. Son Thomas was born in 1666, daughter Martha in 1668, and son William in 1672. Elizabeth was born abut 1670, Mercy, Anna born about 1680, Mary, Jane and Henry? were also probably children of William and Martha. Since William would not renounce his Catholicism, he could not own land. Almost all Durkees in the United States and Canada are descended from the three sons: John, Thomas, and William. One exception are a small group in Wisconsin descended from Herman and William Durkey who arrived there about 1870 from Germany. Another exception spell their name Durgy and descend from John Durgy who married Hannah (Conger) in 1784 in Fairfield, Conn.

Reportedly was a Irish chiefton who was captured by Oliver Cromwell, enslaved and sent to Barbados. When freed there, he endentured himself to a sea captain for passage to New York.
