Overwhelmed By The New Discoveries in 2023

Oh the good that has come out of 2023!!!  I'm thankful that I stumbled across those amazing discoveries. I can't wait to see what I'll come across in 2024. Thank You, LORD!!!

 Some of those brick walls that I couldn’t break through have been moved. I believe it was because I  keep searching. I hope to make some ground in finding out these new discoveries. I thank God for the desire that’s in me, to want to know more about my family connections.

There is something that I see as I'm working on a blog. I come across new things that I didn't see before. And I keep searching for more information in what I plan to post. It’s like a cycle of things coming as I’m reviewing things as I’m working on a blog new things pop up. 

I don't know what's up ahead on the journey to discover. But, I believe that there will be more clues to follow up on. Oh, the mystery , it's interesting to find out more.

As I look Ahead On My Journey...

I'm hoping to see more new discoveries that are set before the days and years to come. I believe that there are a lot more surprises out there waiting to be discovered. There are DNA cousins out there with the missed clues that we don't know about.

I continue to review what I have discovered from time to time. I'm thankful that new information is released to the public. I hope to see more into what I haven't seen.

The Gift Passed Down From My Grandma Mary Anna

 My Grandma Mary was the only grandma that I had the honor to met in person. Some time during the early 1970’s, she came to live with for a short while. I don’t recall much about Grandma’s stay. I wasn’t yet a teenager. The photo is of my Grandma Mary Anna (1889- 1975) and her fourth daughter, my mother, Lula (1920 – 2000).

I can remember something that my Grandmother gave me while she was staying with our family.

Moments In Time
One day, my mother, Lula, her mother, Mary Anna and I were siting in the front room of the family home. And as we were sitting, I was watching Grandma searching in her purse for something. Then Grandma took it out of her purse and handed something to my mother and told her to give this to me, Susan.

I reached out my hand and received the gift passed down from my Grandma Mary Anna. It was a thimble. I can’t recall what else happened after those moments. But, I still have that thimble, today. I don’t recall using it either.

I was thinking about that day when Grandma gave me that thimble.
She gave me something that I could use. I could have done whatever I wanted with it. I didn’t do anything with it. But, put it in my small box for a keepsake.

I had a thought come to me. I could pass it along to someone else. Yes, I can pass down this thimble to someone down the line. The Gift Passed Down From Grandma Mary Anna.

After Thoughts:
The things that people give us should be of use. I believe that my Grandma Mary wanted me to use that thimble. However, I didn’t. I didn’t not sew at that time. However, I could still use it now.

I see the importance of passing down things to the next generations to come. Whatever we choose to passed down to others, may it be something that is of value to the person who gave it to us. In my case with Grandma Mary, it’s the only tangible gift that I have from her. It’s a treasure.

While I was thinking about what I was going to share in this blog,
I was thinking about my Grandma Mary’s Grandmother, Susan (Leach) Washington ( 1835 – 1890) . Susan’s mother, Delilah Lewis ( 1773 – 1887) came to live with her and her family in 1878. Mother’s caring for their mothers. I believed that my Grandma Mary cared for her mother, Anna Laura (Washington) Allen Walters (1867 – 1947) as well. I helped care for my mother.

Week 41 ~ Amy Johnson Crow ~ Generations Cafe ~ #52Ancestors 52 Weeks facebook group
The theme for Week 41 is “Passed Down.” We can pass down lots of things: stories, clothes, special items. What is something that has been passed down to you or that you’ve passed down to someone else?

Great Grandfather Elias W. Bartlett Sr. ~ Brick Wall

 During the 1980’s, I began searching for my family connections. While I was searching, I came across the name of my Great Grandfather Elias Bartlett listed as the father of my Grandmother Jennie (Bartlett) Lyles’ 1926 death certificate. I though, the name Elias, sounded like he didn’t have a first name.

As I continued searching, I made some inquires to the Carrollton County Genealogy Society about my Bartlett family. In reply, a lady from Carrollton, Missouri sent me copies of the 1870 and 1880 Missouri census records listing Elias’s household in Wakenda, Carroll, Missouri.

On the 1870 United States Federal Census,
Elias was listed with his first wife Rachel and their children who carried the Bartlett surname:
William born in 1852 and Warren born in 1854
John born in 1855 and Fanny born in 1859
Lena born in 1862 and Harriet born in 1865

On the1880 United States Federal Census,
Elias was listed with his second wife Harriett , children and a grandmother;
Sally born in 1865, Charles born in 1867, and Lucy born in 1869.
Elias Jr. who was born in 1879.
William (who was a widow on the 1880) was listed on the 1870.
Grandmother, Hannah Hooper was born in ca 1765 who living with the Bartletts.

In November of 2022, I located Harriett with her three children on the 1870 Missouri census.
Sally was born in 1865, Charles was born in 1867 and Lucy was born in 1869 and
Hannah was born in 1890.
They were listed in the HELSIN Household with the HELSIN surname.
I don’t think that HELSIN was the surname of Harriett and her children along with Hannah.

I’ve been back tracking the sources on Elias W. Bartlett Sr. his wife Harriett and children.
Records of Elias’ were from...
1870 and 1880 United States Federal Census For Carroll County in Missouri
The December 29, 1876 marriage recorded of Elias BARTLEY married Harriet HUGHES.

Daughters’ death records:
Jennie LYLES in 1926 , Juanita ARMSTRONG in 1929 and Lucy HORAN in 1940.
Lucy’s father was listed as Mr. Bartlett. However, he was her step father.

Crop photo of Juanita BARTLETT ARMSTRONG’s 1929 death certificate.




It’s still a mystery to what happened to Elias Sr.
 Could he have passed in 1900 in Carrollton, Missouri?

Some of the Bartletts moved to St. Joseph, Missouri.
Unknown to what brought them there.
Lucy was married in St Joe in August of 1900.
Paul was living there around 1900 according to his 1956 obituary
Jennie was living there in 1902 according to her marriage record.

Even though the Bartletts were listed on the Missouri census in Carrollton, Missouri in June of 1900, they moved to St. Joseph sometime after the 1900 census was taken. There was a Elias Bartlett listed on the 1901 city directory in St. Joseph, Missouri. It didn’t stated if he was a Sr. or Jr.

There was an Elias W. Bartlett Jr. listed in the city directory in 1904.
Elias Jr. moved to Oklahoma City around 1906. He was listed in their city directory.
Harriet was listed as the widow of Elias Sr. on the 1905 city directory.
This was the first mention of Harriet in St. Joe.
I believe that Harriet was in St. Joseph the same time her son Paul was in 1900.

Hoping for information:
I believe that there is still hope in finding some things about Elias Sr. and Harriet.
I’m waiting on information on the death notice of Elias Bartlett who passed on October 7, 1920 in Oklahoma. Also, I came across Elias Jr.’s name as Eli BARTLEY and Elias BARTLEY in the Oklahoma City Directories. (Update: The info about  Elias Jr.'s death notice was the correct Elias son of Elias Sr. and Harriett.)

I wonder. Could the family surname have been BARTLEY or perhaps BARTLE?
Jennie’s maiden name was spelled BARTLE when she married John BLAKEY on July 28, 1902 in Excelsior Springs, Clay, Missouri.

Elias W. Bartlett Sr. life is still a brick wall, along with his family listed on the 1870 census.

I wonder. Was Elias, Alex Bartlett? This was the father’s name on Paul Bartlett’s 1936 social security application and claims index information. I’m hoping that there will be more clues in the years to come to uncover the Bartlett family mysteries. Someone may have the pieces to this mystery.

Even the maiden name of Harriett is a brick wall.
Was her maiden name HUGHES, HELSIN, HOOPER, FISHER, or BUFFINGTON? I’m thinking that it was BUFFINGTON source from Lucy’s 1939 social security application and claims index information.

The theme for Week 21 is “Brick Wall.” ~Amy Johnson Crow #52Ancestors In 52 Weeks Challenge

Do you have an ancestor (or 4) who you can’t seem to make any progress on in your research? This would be a good week to write about that ancestor and really think about what you know about that ancestor, how you know it, and wh

News of Mrs. Chilton Lyles’ Birth of Her 18th Child

There is so much I can get out of this birth announcement. Mrs. Chilton Lyles was Mrs. Jennie (Bartlett) Blakley Lyles. Her son was born on October 15, 1925. He would be named Edgar Bartlett Lyle. Sadly to say, Edgar passed on April 16, 1926. He was about 6 months old.

Birth announcement in The St. Joseph Observer : St. Joseph, Missouri • Fri, Oct 23, 1925 Page 5

Mr. Chilton Lyle was Jennie’s second husband. They had at least five children together.

Twin daughters, Dorris Lyle and Dorothy Lyle were born on April 27, 1920. Sadly to say, they passed less than 3 months old: at two days apart on July 3rd and July 5, 1920. They were buried together.

The only two Lyle children who made it to adulthood:

Sergeant Faris Chilton Lyle (1923 – 2008) ~ He married and was the father of 7.
Geneva (Lyle) Jones (1924 – 2005) ~ She was married and was the mother of 7.

Jennie’s second husband, Chilton Lyles was born in Kansas about 1869.
He was the son of free people of color.

Jennie’s first husband was John Blakey Blakley Sr. (1871 – 1918) . They had 12 children together.

Their Baby Girl Blakey was still born on November 10, 1902.
There were four daughters and a son who passed with in a year of their births.

Edna Blakley (1903 – 1904) ~ She was 11 months old.
Cecil BLAKEY (1908 – 1909) ~ She was about 3 months old.

Juanita BLAKEY (1910 -1910) ~ She was about 3 months old.
Baby Boy Blakley (1917 – 1918) ~ He passed 3 days before his first birthday.

Jennie’s husband John who was born June 21, 1871 with a twin Andrew. John passed four months after Baby Boy Blakley on July 10, 1918. John was one of 20. His father, Private Isaac Blakey married twice.

As for the other Blakley children who made it to their adulthood.

Pastor John Henry Blakley Jr. (1905 – 1975) ~ He married twice and had step children.
Isaac “Ike” Blakley (1906 1980) ~ He married and had two sons.

Paul Blakley (1907 – 1946) ~ He was married and had step children.
Mary Jane Blakley Richardson (1911 – 2001) ~ She married and adopted two daughters.

Rev Orbrey Pearson Blakley(1912 – 1943) ~ He never married and had no children.
David William Blakley Sr. (1913 – 1989) ~ He married and had 19 children.

Hazel “Bush” Blakley was born in 1915 and she passed at age 18 with child in 1933.

According to what my mother, Lula, she shared with me, “Mrs. (Jennie) Blakley had 19 children.” This is according to what my mother’s mother Mary Allen Lankford / Lankfard told her. Could it have been, Jennie had another child before she passed?

Who was Jennie Lyles?
She was my father, David’s mother. Jennie was born in 1883 to Elias W. Bartlett Sr. and Harriet (Hooper) Bartlett. She was one of 14. And her first name could have been Geneva. She passed on December 29, 1926 at the age of 43. The surname Lyle was spelled Lyles at times.

In Loving Memory Of Mrs. Josephine Louise Wilson: My Last Auntie To Pass

 She was born Josephine Louise Lankford on August 30, 1932 to Leo Sr. and Mary (Allen) Lankford / Lankfard. Josephine’s sunset came on Thursday October 5, 2017. She was one of 11 children. Her first husband was Comezell Z. Walker Sr. (1922 – 1964) Her second husband was James Wilson Jr. (1922 – 2022). She was the mother of 6.

Colorized photo of Josephine Louise (Lankford) Walker Wilson
She was the last auntie on my mother Lula’s side to pass.

I’m thankful that my Auntie Josie took the time to share what she known of her parents’ family history. During the times of sharing, Auntie Josie said that she took some of the family pictures. She told me that she played the piano.

She would call me to shared things. I would call her for clues and share what I found. My sister Freda and I or brother, “Eddie” would visit her home and we shared things.

She talked about how some of my brothers would play ball where the Lankford family home was.

She spoke of who took pictures when she was in them. An example of the one photo of 5 of the 6 Lankford sisters. Milton Vernon Thomas took the photo. Vernon was Auntie Josie’s sister Mary aka Jennie’s” husband. And there were photos of uncles and aunties I never seen in a photo before.

Another crop photo: the one with her brother Fredrick “Fred” with his army uniform on. Her brother in law “Willie” Farmer was next to him. There were photos of brother Addison’s “Ad’s” wedding to Pearl Smiley. I didn’t know that Uncle “Ad” was married. Auntie Josie told me who was in the photo.

One day Auntie Josie called and told me that one of her former bosses passed. The lady’s obituary was in the newspaper: she was a Morton. Auntie Josie said, she worked for this lady before she was married and had her first child. The Lankfords worked for the Morton families for years.

I think Auntie Josie was the one who took photos and keep up with the family history. She clipped news articles from the newspapers etc. There were days she would call and told me that relatives passed.

One Summer afternoon while visiting Aunt Josie with my sister Freda, Auntie Josie was telling us about the JET Magazine with the actress Hatttie McDaniel in it. She was reading about Hattie and came across a name that caught her attention. She said UNCLE NYM!!!

Auntie Josie’s Uncle Nym LANKFARD was married to Hattie McDaniel. It was a surprise to me too. I haven’t heard this. Yes, it’s true. Hattie’s second husband was Nymalua “Nym” Lankfard. Google it. Nym wasn’t George Langford.

I remember that last time I visited Auntie Josie. I showed her some photos that were giving to me. She told me who some of them were. She even saw some photos of herself and her sister Betty.

I miss the days of those home visits and phone conversations with Auntie Josie. I have found so much since her passing. I find myself talking to myself when I visit her grave site. I’m thankful for all that Aunt Josie clued me in on.

Then the news came that Auntie Josie passing. That marked the ending of the Lankford siblings on my mother’s side. The next generations of the Lankford descendants remain. I’m in the 4th generation from Robert and Charlotta. And there are three or four more generations more after the 4th generation, I think.

R.I.P. Auntie Josie
Until we all meet again.

Idea and Theme via Week 24 Amy Johnson Crow #52Ancestors In 52 Weeks Challenge

The theme for Week 24 is “Last One Standing.” My thought with this theme was there are some ancestors that we research, and we feel like we are the only one researching them. (Or maybe I’m the only one who has felt that way!) Of course, feel free to interpret the theme however you’d like!

Dade Family Connections: So Many Descendants

  In the beginning, I didn’t know that “Uncle Isaac” a.k.a. Isaac Dade Sr. and “Aunt Frankie”a.k.a. Frances (Ovington) Dade were my second great grandparents. Their daughter Charlotta Lottie (Dade) Lankford / Lankfard was my great grandmother. Since my early discoveries, I continue to search for my Dade Family Connections.

Photo is of my Great Grandparents (Robert Louis) Lewis Lankford’s and Miss Charlotta Dade’s marriage certificate: Dated January 23rd, 1873 in Canton, Lewis County Missouri. The two witnesses to their marriage were Isaac Dade and Francis Dade. I began to search to see who were Isaac Dade and Francis. I have located them on the Missouri censuses. (NOTE: the index on record states the date of marriage was on Jan 25 nd, 1873.)

On the United States Federal 1900 census for Lewis County; Canton, Missouri, it states that Frances Dade had 14 children in which 7 were living at the time of the census on June 11th. I have located 7 of Frances’ 14 children. I pieced the puzzle together as I found more information on each child.

I have been compiling a list of the descendants of Isaac and Frances:
Here is a list of the 7 known children.

Louisa Jane “Aunt Janie” (DADE) WASHINGTON, the of mother of 13
Benjamin “Ben” DADE, the of father of 15
Mary Ann (DADE) MADISON, the of mother of 7
Isaac DADE a.k.a. Private Isaac DAYD, the of father of 5
Louis Newton “Old Bone” DADE, the of father of 11
Crieldy / Cyrilda (DADE) GREEN, the of mother of 2
Charlotta Lottie (DADE) LANKFORD / LANKFARD, the of mother of 11

Which sibling has the most descendants, so far?
I thought Louisa Jane (DADE) WASHINGTON had a lot of descendants. I was wrong. When I came across Benjamin “Ben” DADE, I wasn’t for sure if he was related. However, I received confirmation that he was through France’s death notice and through DNA matches with his descendants. I began to add Ben’s lineage to the family tree. I thought I couldn’t keep up with the list.

I had to challenge myself to compile Benjamin “Ben” Dade’s lineage on a calendar by sorting by names to their birth dates and death dates. I have done this with my other family connections branches. I use a big calendar and combined my Blakey Blakley WHITE family on one calendar and my Bartlett Family on another one and so one.

However, when I came to Benjamin’s lineage, I had to rethink how to do his. He has so many descendants. His lineage won’t fit with my other DADE Family calendar that includes Louisa, Louis, Mary, and Charlotta. There wasn’t enough space.

I had to started two other DADE Family calendars one for Isaac DADE Jr. / Isaac DAYD and the other for Benjamin DADE. The other two children of Frances: Isaac DADE Jr / DAYD and Crieidy / Cyrida Dade Green are on the same calendar.

A Surprising Discovery:
I noticed that some of the Benjamin’s descendants married into Louisa DADE Washington’s descendants. This was a surprise to come across. I thought to myself, I saw this name before. I’m in the process of searching more on Ben DADE.

Story has it that Ben Dade lived in Texas. He had a first wife. I’m exploring what one of Ben Dade’s descendant shared with me.

Week 23 Amy Johnson Crow’s #52Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge:

The theme for Week 23 is “So Many Descendants.” Sometimes when we’re researching, we’ll come across a set of ancestors who seem to have a gajillion descendants. Who is that in your family tree?

Mr. Add “Smoke” Langford: Professional Baseball Player

 Since his early career while in his teens, he was know as Ad “Add Langford”. I’m not for sure how he earned the nickname “Smoke”. Either he was fast in his pitching and or both fast in his running. Add Langford was a member of the Negro Baseball League: as an armature / professional from about 1900 – 1920’s.

In his early years, “Add” played right fielder, short stop and third base and pitcher for the Black Wonders: The Brownies. This team was out of St. Joseph, Missouri. By 1908, ” Add” made his way to, Utah where he was playing with the Occidentals. And before 1920, he was managing / and pitching with the Pennsylvania Red Caps.

Who was “Add Langford”?

“Add” was born Louis Adward Lankford on January 27, 1882 in Canton, Lewis County in Missouri. He was the son of Robert Louis Lankford / Lankfard (1852 – 1919) and Charlotta (Dade) Lankford / Lankfard. (1854 – 1924). He was one of 11 children.

Why did Louis used his nickname “Add” and the LANGFORD spelling as an athletic ?
It’s a mystery. Louis spelled his nickname Add. At time the news media spelled the name Ad.

Crop photo is of Add Langford with his Occidental teammates.
The location and year of photo is unknown.



News article from The Salt Lake Tribune Salt Lake City, Utah 07 May 1908, Thu  •  Page 10

Add was a member of at least 12 baseball teams in his career. His starting baseball years was before in 1912. He was playing with the Oxies in 1908.

News article from the Salt Lake Telegram Salt Lake City, Utah 08 Jun 1908, Mon  •  Page 7

I was wondering, when did Add joined a baseball team? He had been connected to a team around 1900.
I searched and discovered that Add also was a boxing in St. Joseph. It appears that he loved sports in his early years. I discovered that there was a ball field not to far from the Lankford’s were living in 1894 at 2411 Messanie Street. According to the newspaper at this time, there was a ball field was at 25th and Messanie Streets.

Add also had the love for boxing. He had some boxing matches in St. Joseph, and some else where. He had one professional match in 1911.

Week 12 ~ Amy Johnson Crow #52Ancestors In 52 Weeks Challenge

The theme for Week 12 is “Membership.” It isn’t unusual to find our ancestors as members of a group, such as churches, school alumni, veterans organizations, or fraternal societies. Have you found an ancestor who was as member of a group? Or maybe you’ve made a discovery by being a member of a genealogical or historical society. Write about it this week!

13 Years Later: The Frances (OVINGTON) DADE Family Connections

On May 8th 2010, I logged in to ancestry.com. I came across someone who was searching for a connection with Dade family. This person is  was looking for "Janie " Jane (DADE) WASHINGTON lineage.

 Searching From What’s Known
Harriet’s future husband, Elias W. Bartlett Sr. was listed with his first wife, Rachel on the 1870 Missouri Census in Carroll County. Question: Where was Harriett and the other three Bartlett children who were born before the 1870 census was taken?

On November 7, 2022, I began to search for Harriett on the 1870 Carroll County Missouri census. I searched for every black Harriett born in Missouri around 1849 and one by one, I looked to see if there were key names in the same household. Those key names were her Grandmother Hannah and three children, Sallie, Charles, and Lucy.

The Newest Discovery
Actually, this is an old discovery that became new once I saw it again. I came across the household of HESLIN before. I didn’t see the connection then. But, the second time around, I was filled with joy when I saw the names Hannah, Harriett and Sally, Charles and Lucy. This was confirmation.

Harriett BARTLETT’s and her three children’s ages were similar to the 1880 census. However, Hannah was listed as born in North Carolina on the 1870 census at age 80. But on the 1880 census Hannah was born in South Carolina and her age was at 115. This is 35 years older in ten years.

I believe that this Harriet, her children and her Grandmother, Hannah are the ones that I’ve been searching for. They were listed with William HESLIN born in 1810 in Kentucky. He who was head of house. Hannah B. HESLIN born in 1790 North Carolina.( Note that Harriett had a grandmother by the name of Hannah HOOPER on the 1880 Missouri census in Carrollton County Missouri.)

It appears that Elias W. Bartlett Sr. was not the father of Sally, Charles and Lucy. This would make sense, if they weren’t listed with him on the 1870 Missouri census. It appears that the three children took the Bartlett surname. I wonder what were their surname?

What’s Next?
Ironically, I can’t locate the family with the Heslin surname on the 1880 census for Carroll County Missouri. I’m wondering. Is there another way to spell that surname? Could Helsin have been their enslaved surname? Also note that I have found Sally, Charles and Lucy were listed as mulatto on other records.

Sarah “Sallie’s maiden name was Shaw. This came from an Ohio 1919 marriage record of Myrtle Younger, daughter of Sarah “Sallie”. The Shaw name is something to look into.

Questions And Wonder:
Who was Harriett ( BUFFINGTON / HOOPER BARTLETT?
She was my Great Grandmother, Harriett. My father’s David’s grandmother.
I wonder if Hannah could have been Harriett’s great grandmother.

The Mariah HELSIN was born in North Carolina in 1830. She was Williams’ daughter .
Was William HELSIN Hannah’s son?
Or if Williams’ wife was Hannah’s daughter?
Wonder if Sophiah, Harriett and Allen were siblings?

I wonder if Hannah’s surname was Buffington? Listed as Hannah B. HELSIN on the 1870 census. Harriett’s maiden name was listed as Buffington on her daughter, Lucy’s social security application in 1939.

Week 8 ~ Amy Johnson Crow #52Ancestors in 52 Weeks ~ Generations Café

The theme for Week 8 is “I Can Identify.” Genealogy research is about identifying the correct people to attach to our family trees. Who have you worked hard to identify? Another way to interpret the theme would be to highlight someone like my grandfather, who could spot (and correctly identify all kinds of mushrooms. (My sisters and I never got the knack of doing that!)
