Stumbling Across More Family Connections

Welcome!

I continue to search whatever resources that I can. I've been searching old newspaper articles. I have found some photos of relatives. There were birth announcements, obituaries, cards of thanks, marriage and divorce filed. Every little info adds to the family history.

I wish all the best in the 2nd quarter of 2019.
Thanks for reading.
God Bless you.

 The DADE Family Connections: Here's the link April In Memory

I came across another DNA cousin. This cousin is on the Benjamin DADE Family Connections. Benjamin, son of Isaac and Frances (OVRINGTO) DADE. Ben and Lucy had a daughter named Martha (DADE) CARTER. She  married Lewis CARTER. They had a daughter named Melvina (CARTER) HAWKINS. She married Charles Edward HAWKINS.

I haven't added Martha (CARTER) HAWKIN's descendants to this "In Remembrance." There are so many of them.  Martha and Lewis had eight children. I have to sort through what I have. And it's odd that I only have one DNA match to this Benjamin DADE.  I came across someone who said that they were connected with Martha (DADE) CARTER. They didn't take the DNA test.

The BARTLETT Family Connections:
Here's the link April In Memory

I haven't come across new birth or death info to add to this In Remembrance list.
Last  month, I came across new leads from a marriage record.
Name:Mr. Elias Bartley
Marriage Date:29 Dec 1876
Marriage Place:Carroll, Missouri, USA
Spouse:Harriet Hughes

I'm not for sure if this couple is Elias Bartlett and Harriet Buffington.  I recall when my Grandmother, Jennie Bartlett remarried my Grandfather, John Blakye in 1902 , her maiden name was spell Bartle.

Harriett had may have had several names. Hooper, Fisher, Buffington and, Hughes.
Hooper on daughter Juanita (Bartlett) Armstrong's 1929 death record.
Fisher on Paul Bartlett's  1936 Social Security Application And Claims Index
Buffington on Lucy E. (Bartlett) Horan's 1939 Social Security Application And Claims Index
Hughes on the Missouri marriage record in 1876.
