Joseph William Bowlsbey, b 8/1/1874 married Jamesanna "Minnie" Powell in Havre de Grace, MD on 3/22/1898. Minnie was born 2/28/1879. Joseph was a son of Sylvester and Elizabeth (Astle) Bowlsbey.
Is anyone researching this family? Who were Minnie's parents? Was she also from Cecil County?
Any info. appreciated!
Thanks,
Melissa
I'm retired military and all of my files were included in one packet. My guess is it is the same thing under different names. Pretty sure anything in one would be in the other as well.

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if the "Pension Document Packet" is included with the "Full Pension Application File".
I am trying to get through a big brick wall. I have a James Henry Hall born
in Maryland in 1812. In 1834 he was married in Cincinnati Ohio. He may have
been related to Ezekiel Hall who was born on the Eastern Shore about 1777
and was also in Ohio. I am trying to figure out if my James Hall is related
to The Elihu Hall family of Cecil County. On www.Familysearch.com I found a
James Hall born in 1812 to Charles Hall and Elizabeth Coleman. In another
record I found this Charles Hall had a brother Hen
Melissa,
I feel sure you can find that at the Annapolis archives. For a fee they will
make a copy and mail it to you. I don't remember the exact URL for that, but
go to google.com and write in Marland State Archives and I am sure you will
get that.

I'm sending this to several lists, so I apologize if you receive multiple
copies.

Dear Mary Alice,
I'm trying to write up my branch of the Reynolds family, before sending all
my notes to my niece in Michigan. I was rereadingthis letter of you and you
mention a friend, Eugenia Cloud, who descends from Jesse.
One of my BIG problems is John Ginna who married Hannah Reynolds, d/o Jacob,
s/o Henry Jr. etc. This Jesse married a Mary Guinea and I have reason to
suspect that she is the sister or aunt of my John Ginna. Could you ask your
friend if she has any information on this family?

I saw a online posting stating that either you or someone named Cathy was putting together information on all the Simpers in the USA. Well, I am a Simpers and my father was born in Elkton, Md.

Your Andrew Jackson McCullough (b. Feb. 25, 1830; d. ?) who married Elizabeth
Bristow (b. ?; d. ?) on March 3, 1852, Cecil Co., MD, was one of twelve
children; he had seven full-blooded siblings (parents: Oliver McCullough and
Elizabeth -- maiden name may have been Leader) and four half siblings by
Oliver's first wife who I have not yet ferreted out.
His four older half-siblings were:
Catherin Ann McCullough, b. 1822
Enoch Lewis McCullough, b. 1823, married Rebecca Foster
Lavinia McCullough, b. 1825

I can't be much help but sometimes any snippet is worthwhile ... so, I can
identify Howell KIRK I believe. Howell was b 4 Dec 1797 and was the son of
William and Elizabeth Howell KIRK. He married 10 Jun 1822 Lydia HARRIS
whose parents I do not know. The only child I know for Howell and Lydia is
Theodore b 30 Jan 1826. Howell is listed to me as my '4th cousin 4 times
removed' through my KIRK lineage...not exactly 'kissing cousins!'

Please pardon the intrusion. I notice that
you referenced "The Inhabitants of Cecil County" by Henry PEDEN in your E
mail. I am researching the Rene JULIEN/JULIAN and Mary Margaret BULLOCK
families from Bohemia Manor in Cecil County, MD., c. 1700 to 1740. Their
son, Isaac was born 30 NOV 1716 in Annapolis, Cecil Co., MD, and his birth was
supposedly
documented in St Ann's Parish. He died 08
JUL 1778 in Randolph Co., NC. Moving further along, Stephen JULIEN and

Full Pension Application File ($37)
Pension application files generally are the most useful to those doing genealogical

Pension application files, based on Federal service before WWI usually include an official

Hi,
If you contact Cecil County Historical Society(look at their web
site) ask for any information on Christinann Bristow. You may tell
them that one person had a copy of "The Bristow Family, Cecil County
Maryland chart which is believed to have come from the family file.
They may have more information on your line than just the chart.
Otherwise I would offer to sent you a copy of this chart, but I only
have a chart. NO DOCUMENTATION. I have not tried to find any proof
of this family
I am seeking information on a child born to CLARA GUSBERG in Connecticut
sometime in the few years immediately prior to 1919 when CLARA gave birth to
a son on Sept. 19. His birth certificate says 2nd child of this mother, both
living. Clara married SAMUEL EDWARD COLE in Aug. 17, 1917 in Hartford, CT.
but in 1918 lived at 48 No.Chapel St., in Newark, DE. By the 1920 census
Clara was living with her infant son in Simsbury, CT. with the Psaty family
and apparently separated from Mr. Cole. The CT. Dept. of Vita

Others named in the will are Eliza Kirk d/o Howell Kirk, Adaline Nickle, d/o

I am trying to establish Hannah Ginna's family. She names Hannah, d/o of

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if the "Pension Document Packet" is included with the "Full Pension Application File". I've never ordered any type of military records before and want to make sure that I'm asking for the right thing.
Thanks!!!

I'm off to the courthouse tomorrow for a few land records and wills. There is one will that I've been wanting a copy of for a few years. It's an old one dated 1830. Problem is that it is on microfilm and can't be read on the courthouse microfilm reader. Would this will (actually, it's an administration) be at the Maryland State Archives as well?
Thanks so much!
Melissa
The pension document packet they select what they feel is important. The full packet contains everything that was in the file.

HI,
I have a Bistow Family Chart for the Cecil County Historical
Society's family file. It has Richard Bristow who married Ann Robinson
(31 Dec 1817 my note)having a daughter Elizabeth who married Andrew
jackson McCullough. But it stops there. Elizabeth was the younger
sister to my step-great great grand dad who was born 1827 in Cecil
County, MD. I give you the years that I know so you(or any lister) can
see if your line would have fit into this line.

Searching for a photo of my mother's first husband: SAMUEL EDWARD COLE (or
Edward Samuel) Cole. He was born in Cherry Hill (Cecil CO.), Maryland in
1865. He married CLARA GUSBERG in Aug. 17, 1917 in Hartford, CT. In June
1918 they were living at 48 No. Chapel St., in Newark, Delaware. In Sept,
1919 they had a child born in Hartford, CT. but by 1920 they apparently were
separated as Clara was living with her infant son in Simsbury, CT. The Coles
were paper mill workers and Mr. Cole was well known in Delawa
How interesting to read what you wrote about finding Delaplaine McDaniel's
tombstone!
Actually, I do not know if there was an intermarriage of the McCullough and
McDaniel families.
I "bumped" into McDaniel and became aware of him and his relationship to our
McCullough family in a manner not unlike your awareness of him!
I was searching for McCullough and associated family members' death notices
in the Cecil Whig when I found the death notice for Elizabeth McCullough
