What caught my attention on this census was that there was a Hannah Hooper listed at the age of 115. She was born about 1765 in South Carolina. She couldn’t read or write. Her parents were from Virginia.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" />According to the 1880 census, Hannah, an invalid was the grandmother of Elias BARTLETT Sr. However, through further searching, I discovered that she was the grandmother of Harriett (BUFFINGTON / HOOPER ) BARTLETT. She was the wife of Elias BARTLETT Sr.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" />When Harriet’s daughter, Juanita (BARTLETT) ARMSTRONG passed in 1929, Juanita’s mother’s name was listed as Harriet HOOPER. And in 1920 when Elias W. Bartlett Jr. passed, his mother was listed as Harriett HOOPER.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" />(Photo cropped from the 1880 Missouri census.

His daughter was Mariah age 40. And listed after Mariah, was Hannah B. Heslin who was listed at age 80, born about 1790. I don’t believe her surname was Heslin.

The key people on both censuses were Harriett and her children, Sarah, Charles, and Lucy with the different surnames. Harriett and her children’s ages match up on both censuses.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" />I’m not sure if Hannah was born in 1765. When I saw the age of 115, I wondered. When I came across Hannah in the 1870 census, her age was 80, born in 1790. This is a big age just in ten years<em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: initial;">.</em><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" /><em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: initial;">Or perhaps, could Hannah have been the great grandmother of Harriett?</em><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" />The 1870 census, has some clues to ponder about.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" /><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" />William HELSIN appears not to be Hannah’s son.

<br />
As I was in my "garden" of prayer last week, I thought about some things. Things that I questioned about my life... Here's just a few.... I will add my response later... Selah. <br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
What if I did not come to church for weeks? Would anyone notice or even care that I was not there? Selah <br />
<br /><br />
What if I stopped blogging for months? Would it make any difference or Am I making a difference by what I am sharing on my blog site? Selah<br />
<br />
<br />
What if I cease doing some things that I normally did at times? Would anyone notice or have any concern to why I stopped doing what I use to do? Selah <br />
<br />

Father God, I thank You for Sunday, the first day of the week. A day in which we come together as a body of Christ to celebrate the VICTORY that Jesus defeated death, satan and sin. I thank You for those victories Lord! I thank You for this very day and every day of LIFE that we have in You. I thank You that You give us the gift of eternal LIFE through Your Son, Jesus Christ. <br />
<br />
I thank You for the covenant blessings of WISDOM, ANOINTING and LIFE that You have given us who believe. I praise Your name. For You are the God of what LIFE is all about and is meant to be.... Victorious living in Jesus' Name.<br />
<br />
Lord, HELP us to surrender our lives to You on a ongoing basis. Help us to surrender every area of our lives... yielding everything to You...our spirit, soul, body, our hopes, dreams, concerns, our finances, family, jobs, our abilities, talents, ministries, our joy, weakness, strengths, our pains, sorrows, shame, our past, present, future.<br />
<br />
Teach is to open our hearts to You while we seek after You. Lead us to repent and to rethink our lives on a regular basis. Allow us to follow You and experience You in new ways that we have not seen before. Guide us to yield to the Holy Spirit. And help us to let go of our own ways. Create within us a new heart and a new spirit.<br />
<br />
<br />
Grant us to pray with the heart of Jesus' model prayer...<br />
Our Father in Heaven Hallowed be Your name. <br />
<br />
Your kingdom come Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.<br />
<br />
Give us this day our daily bread. <br />
<br />
And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. <br />
<br />
And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.<br />
<br />
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. <br />
<br />
<br />
Amen. <br />

He passed on February 1, 2008. He was my father David Blakley Sr.’s brother. Uncle Faris was my last uncle on my father’s side to pass.</p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I first reached out to Uncle Faris when I received his address from his sister Geneva (LYLE) JONES (1924 – 2005). She was Faris’ and my father’s sister. I wrote to Uncle Faris and we corresponded for some years. He lived in New York.</p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lost Connections:</strong><br />And there came the time, I didn’t hear from Uncle Faris. I started wondering. I didn’t know how to contact his relatives. I kept wondering.<br /><br />Then one day, on November 13, 2008, Uncle Faris’ name came to my thinking. I started googling his name. I make the discovery that he passed.<br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />Connected With The LYLE Family:</strong><br />During this time, I added Uncle Faris to my post: In Remembrance of my relatives. He would be remembered twice a year. Then one day, I received a comment from one of Uncle Faris’ granddaughters on one of blogger’s site on August 4, 2011. How amazing! We connected on facebook where I came in contact with other LYLE family members.</p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The LYLE family knew little about Faris’ family. That he (and his sister Geneva) were put in an orphanage. I did locate them listed on the 1930 census at Northwestern Orphanage and Hospital Line 69-82 in St. Joseph, Missouri.</p><p style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Their mother Jennie passed in December of 1926 when Faris was 3 and Geneva was 2 years old. I’m not for sure how long Faris and Geneva were in the orphanage. Their father Chilton was still living and perhaps was not able to care for them. I did locate Faris age 17 and Geneva age 16 were listed with their Blakley siblings, Mary and Orbrey on the at 1940 census.<br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Social Media Connections</strong><br />I have used social media in the past to discover more on my family connections. I continue to come across more relative through the media. I found some of Aunt Geneva’s descendants via social media and DNA sites.

I’m amazed! I’m thankful for those who were before me. They took the time to record what information they were told or knew.<br /><br />As I’ve been searching through old newspapers, I noticed that some newspapers published church news, mentioning who attended funerals, those who called upon others and those who visited their relatives and friends. What a clever way for searchers to find clues. It takes time to sort through things. But it’s worth it.<br /><br />It’s so exciting to come across new leads. And I’ve found much joy when I see confirmation. It makes me want to search more. This brings hope.<br /><br />In the beginning of my search, I didn’t know much about my family connections. I only knew what my parents shared with me. And I wrote down what they shared.<br /><br />Recently, I started to re read some of what my parents told me. There are things that I have forgotten about. Now, as I look back, my older adult self sees more into what I was recording.<br /><br />The photo is of one of the first book I purchased on family history. I started filling out my information about my ancestors. The book was printed in 1977. I wrote to the future generation on August 2, 1990.<br /><br />“Dear future generation,<br />May you all be proud of who your ancestors were and who you really are in life for you and your children’s children which follows.”<br /><br /><br /><img alt="" class="wp-image-11188" data-attachment-id="11188" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Book Roots" data-large-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/book-roots.jpg?w=640" data-medium-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/book-roots.jpg?w=225" data-orig-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/book-roots.jpg" data-orig-size="720,960" data-permalink="https://sablakley.wordpress.com/2020/10/30/my-40-year-journey-searching-for-my-family-connections/book-roots/" height="960" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" src="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/book-roots.jpg" srcset="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/book-roots.jpg 720w, https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/book-roots.jpg?w=113&h=150 113w, https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/book-roots.jpg?w=225&h=300 225w" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 450px;" width="720" /><br /><br /><br />I have found strength through seeing the progress I have made. It wasn’t until the Summer of 2004, when I got hooked up with the internet. This was when my desire for “digging for my roots grew deeper. It was like I had “an exploration of information” coming at me.<br /><br />I’m thankful that I took the DNA test. I have so many DNA matches. I don’t know how this works. But there were some DNA matches to where I connected the dots and a miracle happened. And through time, I saw the connections. Yes, I thanked God.<br /><br />I can draw strength and joy from what I know about my family connections. I have come a long way since my beginning during the mid 1970’s. I’m looking forward to the joy and strength that are waiting for me to discover.<br /><br />I’ve said this before: “<em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We need the want and the desire to want to know about our ancestors, </em>perhaps there will come those clues that will spark the flames that keeps us going. ~ I believe that there is more out there.

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).</span></p><div class="entry-content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; color: #333333; counter-reset: footnotes 0; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-15316" data-attachment-id="15316" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Mary and Lula 1974" data-large-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/mary-and-lula-1974.jpg?w=532" data-medium-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/mary-and-lula-1974.jpg?w=283" data-orig-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/mary-and-lula-1974.jpg" data-orig-size="532,563" data-permalink="https://sablakley.wordpress.com/2022/10/14/the-gift-passed-down-from-my-grandma-mary-anna-week-41-in-2022/mary-and-lula-1974/" height="563" sizes="(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px" src="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/mary-and-lula-1974.jpg" srcset="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/mary-and-lula-1974.jpg 532w, https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/mary-and-lula-1974.jpg?w=142&h=150 142w, https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/mary-and-lula-1974.jpg?w=283&h=300 283w" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 550px;" width="532" /><br /><br />I can remember something that my Grandmother gave me while she was staying with our family.<br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Moments In Time</strong><br />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.<br /><br />I reached out my hand and received<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> the gift passed down from my Grandma Mary Anna.</strong> 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.<br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />I was thinking about that day when Grandma gave me that thimble</strong>.<br />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.<br /><br />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. <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Gift Passed Down From Grandma Mary Anna.</em><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />After Thoughts:</strong><br />The things that people give us should be of use<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">. </strong>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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">While I was thinking about what I was going to share in this blog</strong>,<br />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.<br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Thanks for reading</strong>.<br />The Gift Passed Down From My Grandma Mary Anna<br /><br /><span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This post was posted on</span><span style="color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="entry-date" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">October 14, 2022</span><span style="color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="meta-sep" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">by</span><span style="color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="author vcard" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Susan Ann Blakley. <br /></span>The In Memory was added to this blog. <br /><br /> <a href="https://blakleyblakeywhitefamily.blogspot.com/2021/11/dade-family-connections-november-2021.html" style="background-color: initial; color: #2823a3; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-indent: -15px;">DADE Family Connections November </a><br /><a href="https://blakleyblakeywhitefamily.blogspot.com/2021/11/bartlett-family-connections-2021.html" style="background-color: initial; color: #a32823; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-decoration-line: none; text-indent: -15px;">BARTLETT Family Connections </a><br /><a href="https://blakeywhitefamilyconnections.blogspot.com/2021/11/blakey-white-family-connections.html" style="background-color: initial; color: #a73f99; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-decoration-line: none; text-indent: -15px;">BLAKEY WHITE Family Connections</a><br /><br />God bless<br />S.A.Blakley<br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Week 41</strong> ~ Amy Johnson Crow ~ Generations Cafe ~ #52Ancestors 52 Weeks facebook group<br />The theme for Week 41 is “Passed Down.” We can pass down lots of things: stories, clothes, special items.

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.</span></p><div class="entry-content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; counter-reset: footnotes 0; margin: 0px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Bitstream Charter, serif;">As I continued searching, I made some inquires to the Carrollton County Genealogy Society about my Bartlett family.

During the times of sharing, Auntie Josie said that she took some of the family pictures. She told me that she played the piano.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />She talked about how some of my brothers would play ball where the Lankford family home was.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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!!!<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.

I have located 7 of Frances’ 14 children. I pieced the puzzle together as I found more information on each child.<br /><br />I have been compiling a list of the descendants of Isaac and Frances:<br />Here is a list of the 7 known children.<br /><br />Louisa Jane “Aunt Janie” (DADE) WASHINGTON, the of mother of 13<br />Benjamin “Ben” DADE, the of father of 15<br />Mary Ann (DADE) MADISON, the of mother of 7<br />Isaac DADE a.k.a. Private Isaac DAYD, the of father of 5<br />Louis Newton “Old Bone” DADE, the of father of 11<br />Crieldy / Cyrilda (DADE) GREEN, the of mother of 2<br />Charlotta Lottie (DADE) LANKFORD / LANKFARD, the of mother of 11<br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Which sibling has the most descendants, so far?</strong><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A Surprising Discovery:</strong><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Thanks for reading<br />So Many Descendants: Dade Family Connections<br /><br />Blessings,<br />S.A.

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.<br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />The Newest Discovery</strong><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hannah B. HESLIN </strong>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.)<br /><br />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 <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">what were their surname?</em><br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What’s Next?</strong><br />Ironically, I can’t locate the family with the Heslin surname on the 1880 census for Carroll County Missouri. I’m wondering.<em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Is there another way to spell that surname? Could Helsin have been their enslaved surname?</em> Also note that I have found Sally, Charles and Lucy were listed as mulatto on other records.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Crop photo of the 1870 United States Federal Census For Harriet HELSIN, Missouri, Carroll County.<br /><br /><img alt="" class="wp-image-16207" data-attachment-id="16207" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Harriet with Sally, Charles, Lucy" data-large-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/harriet-with-sally-charles-lucy.jpg?w=640" data-medium-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/harriet-with-sally-charles-lucy.jpg?w=300" data-orig-file="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/harriet-with-sally-charles-lucy.jpg" data-orig-size="1950,640" data-permalink="https://sablakley.wordpress.com/2023/02/22/searched-census-to-identify-harriett-and-her-three-children-52ancestors-week-8-in-2023/harriet-with-sally-charles-lucy/" src="https://sablakley.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/harriet-with-sally-charles-lucy.jpg" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 750px;" /></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Questions And Wonder:</strong><br /><em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Who was Harriett ( BUFFINGTON / HOOPER BARTLETT?</em><br />She was my Great Grandmother, Harriett.

(I’m assuming that this city in Saline was Blackwater, Missouri area.)<br /><br />She moved to St. Joseph, (Buchanan County) Missouri in 1878 with William Washington.<br /><br />Delilah was a member of the Baptist church and had been for fifty years<br />(She passed in 1887 and minus 50 would be the year 1837 with the Baptist Church.)<br /><br />Delila was still in the service of the Lord ( before the time of her death)<br />If she was born in 1773 and passed in 1887, she would have been about 113.<br /><br />I’m in the process of making <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">time line</em> from Delila’s paper trail.<br />The enslavers names do exit in the counties in Missouri.<br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Other Questions and Assumptions</strong><br />Who was Delila’s daughter? <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mrs. William Washington;</strong> Susan (Leach) Washington.<br />The 1880 and 1870 Missouri censuses has Susan’s birth years as 1835 and 1845 in Missouri.<br />She could have been born in either in Franklin , Missouri or Liberty, Missouri.<br />Susan was most likely born around 1835; her 1890 obituary stated that she was 54 at time of death.<br /><br />There were three sources of Delila’s birth year.<br />On the 1870 Missouri census at about 1810 at age 60<br />On the 1880 Missouri census at about 1787 at age 93<br />On her 1887 obituary at 1773, she would have about 113<br /><br />Delilah most likely born between 1790 – 1810.<br />If born in 1810 she would have been 25 when Susan was born.<br />Or if Delila was born in 1790 Delila would have been 45.<br /><em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />Could Delilah at age 62 give birth to Susan in 1835?</em><br />Delila was likely to have had other children.<br />She was a widow at the time of her death.<br /><br />I’m working on another blog on “Data From Delila Lewis’ 1887 Obituary”.<br />It’s the paper trail from Tennessee to Missouri and the oral history that was passed down.<br />The enslavers’ whereabouts will lead to where Delila was.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.<br />A Translation of Mrs. Delila Lewis’ 1887 Obituary #52Ancestors Week 10 In 2023<br /><br />This blog was a repost from another blog.

I made some discoveries from what my mother told me and what material she had on her family. And through years of searching, I came across more on the family through the name of William Washington in the city of St. Joseph, Missouri. William was well, know during his time.</span></p><div class="entry-content" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">William Washington married his first wife, Miss Susan Leach on September 20, 1866 in St Joseph, Missouri. They were my 2nd great grandparents. They had 5 daughters and a son.<br /><br /><em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Living In The Shadow Of William Washington</em><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </strong><em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">And the address of 1801 Mulberry Street<br /><br /></em>Susan was the daughter of Delilah Lewis.

Susan and her family were <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">living in the shadow of William Washington.<br /></em><br />When Susan’s mother, Delilah Lewis passed in April of 1887, William was mentioned. Susan’s was not. When William’s and Susan’s son, James drowned at the 102 River in July of 1889. William’s name was mentioned. Susan’s was not.<br /><br />When Susan passed in January of 1890, she was listed Mrs. William Washington. When Virginia “Jennie” Washington passed in February of 1897, she was listed as the daughter of William Washington.<br /><br />The crop postcard photo is of what I believe to be, a photo some of the Washington Family.<br />From left to right: seated are Susan, her husband William and the elderly lady was Delilah, Susan’s mother. The oldest daughter, Anna (behind William,) was my Great Grandmother, Anna Laura.

However, through searching, I discovered more about their daughter, Anna Laura (Washington) Allen Walters. As for Anna’s first husband William Allen, his life is a mystery. Perhaps he was living in someone’s shadow.<br /><br />Now, I’m wondering about Susan’s siblings. I believe that she wasn’t the only child of Delilah. Delilah lived to be at least 100. Delilah’s 1887 obituary stated that she was about 113.<br /><br />I continue searching for the Tivis Family Connections. I’m finding shadows there as well. Women were hidden behind their husband’s names. It’s hard to trace women.<br /><br />Thanks for reading<br />Living In The Shadow Of William Washington: Week 44 In 2022<br /><br />I posted this blog on <span style="color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="entry-date" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">November 4, 2022</span><span style="color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="meta-sep" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">by</span><span style="color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="author vcard" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Susan Ann Blakley<br /></span>I added the In Remembrance For March<br /><b style="color: #222222; font-size: 12px;"><br />In Remembrance<a href="http://blakleyblakeywhitefamily.blogspot.com/2021/03/dade-family-connections-march-in.html" style="color: #a32823; text-decoration-line: none;"> Dade Family Connections</a><br /><br />In Remembrance<a href="http://blakleyblakeywhitefamily.blogspot.com/2021/03/bartlett-family-connections-march-in.html" style="color: #a32823; text-decoration-line: none;"> Bartlett Family Connections</a><br /><br />In Remembrance <a href="https://blakeywhitefamilyconnections.blogspot.com/2021/03/bbw-family-connections-march-in.html" style="color: #a32823; text-decoration-line: none;">Blakey Blakley WHITE Family Connections. </a></b></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />God Bless<br />S.A.

While others will continue digging deeper to uncover the hidden treasures about their family history. It’s all in the attitude of the searcher.<br /><br />I’ve seen a lot of “things” that don’t click. I have learned to step away from things and come back later. I move on to something else. I believe that there can be more out there. I keep searching till I find clues.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">My pedigree</strong><br />It’s time to look a little deeper. I’ve been reviewing information on some of my ancestors and relatives. It’s been a while in compiling things about them.<br /><br />Now, I can picture some of their life story. I can wonder, and see the location where some of them lived. And I can walk in some of their foot steps, so to speak..<br /><br />As I’m piecing together some of their stories, I can see them in a new way. By adding family members into their story, this brings their life alive. How they may have felt. What they had to deal with.<br /><br />Meanwhile as. I’m compiling more information about my family connections, I’ve been having thoughts of other subjects to journal about. Those things that I’m journaling about are becoming NEW TO ME.<br /><br />I took the photo many years go. It’s the view, we call ” down the street.” and “over the hill” was behind me as I was taking the photo. A lot of memories on this block and the blocks that surround it.. I can imagine, back in the days. Many generations lived here through the decades.<br /><br />For those who are searching, keep searching for your ancestors.<br />It takes time to discover “things”.<br />In the beginning and in between time can be new to you, if you let it.<br />Happy Hunting!<br /><br />Thanks for reading.<br />The Journey Can Become New To You If You Let It: Week 38 In 2022<br /><span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author" face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Posted on</span><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif" style="color: #777777; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="entry-date" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">September 23, 2022</span><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif" style="color: #777777; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="meta-sep" face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">by</span><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif" style="color: #777777; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="author vcard" face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #777777; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Susan Ann Blakley</span><br /><br />I added the in remembrance: Family Connections for January. <br /><a href="http://blakleyblakeywhitefamily.blogspot.com/2022/01/dade-in-remembrance-january-family.html"><br />DADE Family Connections</a><br /><a href="http://blakleyblakeywhitefamily.blogspot.com/2022/01/bartlett-in-remembrance-january-family.html"><br />BARTLETT Family Connections</a><br /><a href="https://blakeywhitefamilyconnections.blogspot.com/2022/01/in-remembrance-january-blakey-blakley.html"><br />Blakey Blakley WHITE Family Connections</a><br /><br />God bless<br />S.A.

Those things that we haven’t yet discover. Only if we can make the connections with what we think has been lost. This is an adventure.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I had thought that when my Grandmother Mary Anna (Allen) Lankford / Lankfard passed in November of 1975, that all the family history about her was lost. Oh, how wrong I was. The family history is still there.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Even with not knowing who’s who on the family line, we can think that that is lost. Through time, there may be some clues to reveal what was lost. We have to keep looking. I can testify that what I thought was lost, became a miracle in the making. I searched things out, with the help of coarse.<br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></strong><em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What about “The LOST” Ones </strong>who know something about their ancestors?</em><br />The sadness thing about “The LOST” Ones…. they can lose interest and or don’t want to know anything else about their family history.

Or we can do something about it. We have all the technology to share with our present world that we live in for the future not yet born will be thankful. The choice is up to us.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Don’t let your family connections be lost and forgotten.</strong><br />Hope that others will have a desire to start and continue to search for their family history.<br />For those who are searching, keep searching. You might stumble across your family connections.<br />For those who were adopted or don’t know your family, if you can, take a DNA test.<br />I hope you will connect with relatives.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I took this photo of a street.
