A Wise Hearts Journey Finding ancestors one step at a time.

Elizabeth Barnes SalisburyBevis Posted on February 2, 2016 by melissawiseheart under Browning Family, Documents, Family History, Genealogy, Marriage, Research Process, Salisbury Family

I finally decided to sit down and work with the clues I had for Ossian Salisbury.  Just to recap, these clues are:

First name appears variously as Ocean, Oceanna, Ossian, OssiaAnn, and Osia Ann.Surname appears variously as Salisbury, Saulsberry, Sauelsbury, Sausberry, Stansberry, Landsbury, Lounsbury, and Browning (her married name).She was born in Illinois.She married in 1852, at the age of 17 (which places her birth around 1835).She was married in Kentucky to Daniel Browning.Her mother was Elizabeth Burns or Barnes.Her step-fathers name was Bevis.

Since I have recently begun ordering film from FamilySearch.org, I thought I would start by ordering the film for the record that gives her mothers name.  When I put the film number in, the website informed me that there were already digital images online for that roll.  I thought to myself, thats funny, since there are no images attached to the record.  So, I clicked the link provided for the digital images and searched for the page that the index had cited.  There it was!

From Jefferson County, Kentucky Reference Book 5, p. 153.

I looked first for Elizabeths name.  It looks like Barnes to me, but I can see where someone could get Burns.  In this record, Daniel Browning married Ocean Stansberry (or maybe Stausberry) on June 30, 1852.  Her mother, Elizabeth Barnes, gave consent.  Consent was proved by Lewis Browning (Daniels father).¹

I looked for any records of an Elizabeth Barnes or Burns who married a Salisbury or a Stansberry, to no avail.  I only knew that Elizabeth gave birth in Illinois in about 1835.²  Using those details, nothing turned up.  Its very possible, that they had been married much longer or in a different state or country.  Or, maybe they were never married.

I shifted focus to the step-father.  I had the name Bevis.³  Not knowing if this was a first name or surname, I tried both with Elizabeth Barnes, Burns, Salisbury, and Stansberry.  I found that an Eli Bavis married an Elizabeth Saulsbury in Clark County, Illinois in 1838.⁴  Thank God for soundex!  I kept searching on FamilySearch for Eli Bavis, but turned up nothing new, so I moved my search over to Ancestry.

Here, I found the same marriage citation, but when I clicked it, it suggested two census records for me to look at.  The first showed Eli Bavis in Clark County, Illinois in 1840.⁵  It was just an index record, so I couldnt see family members and age groups.  The second was the 1850 Census.  This one was taken in Jefferson County, Kentucky.  Eli and Elizabeth Bevis lived here with their five small children, Lydia, Jane, Susan, Levi, and Bloony.⁶  Ossian wasnt listed.  Since this was two years before her wedding, she should have been about 15 and living at home.  Perhaps she worked as a servant in another household, but I have been unable to find her thus far.

I wish I had turned up information on her father, but Im satisfied for now to know who Bevis is and to confirm her mothers name.

Mary Wiseheart Jacobs and the Move toIllinois Posted on January 26, 2016 by melissawiseheart under Family History, Genealogy, Jacobs Family, Research Process, Wiseheart Family

According to family tradition, Price Jacobs died in Jefferson County, Kentucky sometime before 1850 and his widow and children moved to Illinois, where they had Wiseheart family.  I spent some time trying to track the family movements to see what might be true.  Im hoping this will narrow down a death date and location for Price.

I began with 1840, since Price would have still been living then.  I found him in Jefferson County, Kentucky with a wife, four sons, and a daughter.  I also noticed that he was living near Harmon Wiseheart (and a few Gillilands) at this time.¹

I couldnt find Price or his family in Kentucky in 1850.  I did find Mary C. Jacobs, with children John A., James H., Ellen, Samuel, and Peter, living in Columbus, Adams County, Illinois.²  The ages are all correct to be the same family from 1840.  A James Wisehart is living several houses down from her.³

Mary married John Carson in 1852.⁴  In 1860, John Carson is living with Mary, Henry, and Rebecca in Columbus, Adams County, Illinois.⁵

In 1870, Mary Jacobs is living with Milton K. Johnson and family in Burton, Adams County, Illinois.⁶  Marys daughter, Ellen, married Milton K. Johnson in 1855.⁷  Presumably, John Carson died sometime between 1860 and 1870.

Mary is still living with Milton and Ellen in 1880 in Burton, Adams County, Illinois, where she is listed as mother-in-law of Milton.⁸

I couldnt find any information for Mary after the 1880 Census, other than her FindAGrave memorial.  According to that, she died in 1887 in Adams County, Illinois.⁹

Its entirely possible that she moved to Illinois to be near family, but its strange since she had family living much closer to her in Jefferson County, Kentucky.

Mary Catherine and AmericaChristina Posted on January 19, 2016 by melissawiseheart under Documents, Family History, Genealogy, Jacobs Family, Marriage, Research Process, Wiseheart Family

A distant cousin contacted me recently to see if I had any idea what happened to Price Jacobs.  I looked through my records and I dont have much on him.  Now, Im one of those people that cant stand an unsolved mystery, so its been bugging me.  I havent been very concerned with Price, as hes a collateral for me, but now I would like to know what happened to him.  Of course, this means researching more than just his death.

My grandparents pedigree chart lists Price as having married Mary Catherine Wiseheart, so I started there.  It turns out, their marriage is a little bit confusing.  I first looked on Ancestry to see what I could turn up.  I found a record for Price Jacobs and Mary E. Wiseheart, married on December 29, 1825 in Jefferson County, Kentucky.¹  Then, I found a record for Price Jacobs and Christena Wisehart, married on August 13, 1827 in Shelby County, Kentucky.²  According to my grandparents information, Mary Catherine had a sister named America Christina.

I considered the possibility that Mary Catherine died and Price remarried to her sister, but based on their childrens ages, that just isnt possible.  I managed to find an image of the written consent given by John Wiseheart.  He does indeed give permission for Christena to marry.

Consent in writing for Christena Wisehart to marry Price Jacobs, given by John Wisehart. August 13, 1827.

I decided to look for Americas marriage, thinking that might shed some light on things.  I found that she married Peter Shrote, Jr. on December 20, 1834 in Jefferson County, Kentucky.³  I then looked up the record for Price in the same book series.  It showed that he and Mary Catherine applied for a license, with Johns consent, on December 29, 1825, but there is not marriage date.⁴  Possibly, Price and Mary Catherine married two years later in Shelby County, but I still have no idea why the consent says Christena.  Perhaps John was confused.

Im hoping to come across something that will clear this all up as I continue to research Price Jacobs and family.

Could Louise Be theKey? Posted on January 13, 2016 by melissawiseheart under Family History, Genealogy, Marriage, Reese Family, Research Process, Schröder Family, Schroeder Family

I still havent been able to figure out how or if Heinrich Ludwig Wilhelm Schröder is related to Frederick Ludwig Schroeder.  I have been trying to collect as much information on Heinrich as I possibly can, which is difficult because he has so many names and most of his records are in German.  Finally, I came across a marriage record for him and Louise Wilhelmine Reese.  According to my grandmas pedigree chart, Heinrich did marry a Louise Reese.

Louise Wilhelmine Reese was born on July 18, 1858 in Lemgo, Lippe, Germany.²  Her parents were Heinrich August Reese and Dorothe Henriette Catharine Sasse.^1,2  She was christened on August 8, 1858 at Sankt Nicolai Evangelisch in Lemgo.¹  Louise married Heinrich Ludwig Wilhelm Schröder on January 26, 1882, also at Sankt Nicolai Evangelisch.²

I began to try a different tactic and looked for birth and baptism records containing Louise Reese Schröder.  My hope was that I would find her children.  So far, Ive had no luck.  I will keep up the search for them, as well as immigration records for Heinrich and Louise after January 1882.  I have ordered the microfilm for these church records from Salt Lake City, to see if there is more information than the indexes yielded.

This information has been somewhat helpful in providing me clues and ideas to continue my search.  More importantly, if I can ever connect Heinrich and Frederick, I now have the names of Louise Reeses parents, which I did not have before.  Id call this attempt a moderate success.

Pieces to the SchröderPuzzle Posted on January 5, 2016 by melissawiseheart under 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge, Birth, Documents, Family History, Genealogy, Schröder Family, Schroeder Family

A few months ago, I wrote about some confusion with dates regarding Heinrich Ludwig Wilhelm Schröder.  Since then, I have been collecting records on all of his siblings to see how Frederick Ludwig Schroeder (my great great grandfather) could be related.

From German baptism records, Ive learned that Heinrichs parents, Friedrich Wilhelm Schröder and Auguste Wilhelmine Besser were the parents of eight children.

Dorothee Helene Frederike (born 7 May 1838)¹Franz Wilhelm Julius (born 6 January 1841)²Hermine Dorothee (born 20 October 1843)³Auguste Charlotte Dorothee (born 8 January 1846)⁴Anne Wilhelmine Charlotte (born 17 April 1848)⁵Heinrich Ludwig Wilhelm (born 13 December 1850)⁶Carl Friedrich August (born 27 July 1853)⁷Heinrich Wilhelm Rudolph (born 26 February 1858)⁸

Im thinking my Frederick must be a cousin to Heinrich, if hes related at all.  I suppose its possible that he and Heinrich are the same person and Heinrich changed his name at some point, but that seems unlikely unless his name was changed around the time of the birth of Heinrich Wilhelm Rudolph.

Supposedly, my Frederick was born on December 12, 1850 in Germany (or Prussia).   So far, all I know for sure about Frederick is that he married Louise Reisenberg on May 8, 1882 in Lucas County, Ohio.⁹
