Looking for the following connection: In the 1880 census for NB I found the following: CLAPP, Stewart b.1852, IL married to Clarissa J. (?) b. 1859 Iowa his parents both from IL, her father from IN, mother from OH. Children: Tilden b. 1877 NB, Harry b. 1879 NB, Carlotta (Sharlotte ?) b. 1880 NB. Also listed was Andrew J. Clapp brother b. 1861 MO with both parents listed as being from IL. In trying to find Stewart's parents the closest I can come up with is the following: In the 1860 census for MO I found a Stewart Clapp listed as a child of the right age and with parents both from IL. They were Daniel CLAPP b. 1831 IL and Hetty Ann Clapp b. 1833 IL, with children Stewart b. 1852 IL, Samuel b. 1855 IL, Joseph H. b. 1858 IL, and Benjamin F. b. 1859 MO. In the 1880 census for NB I found Daniel CLAPP and Hetty Ann with the following children: Samuel S. b. 1855 IL, Joseph b. 1858 MO, Daniel B. b. 1863 IL, Calhoun S. b. 1865 IL, Augusta b. 1870, NB, and Armitta b. 1872 NB. My question is this. Is it unrealistic to make a "leap" and assume that the parents of Stewart Clapp are Daniel and Hetty Ann based on the above information? The problem is not being able to find Andrew J. tied directly as a son of Daniel. I tried looking in the 1870 census for NB and MO and could not find a Daniel Clapp so my best hope of a link isn't there. Any suggestions from folks? I also know that Daniel Clapp married Hetty Ann Munnell in Coles Co, IL on Oct 28, 1851. I apologize for such a long, drawn-out message but I wanted to provide as many pieces of the puzzle as possible. Thanks for your patience! Steve email: The problem I'm having with getting a firm link to Stewart Clapp to Daniel Clapp is as follows: In the 1880 census for NB I found Stewart Clapp and his family as shown above ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Sat, 15 Mar 1997 10:29:28 +0000 From: "Karen Benson" <> Subject: ABC list BRICKLEN BOGNER BUCHNER Does anyone have a Berta/Bertha BrRICKLIN or BRICKLEN?

Here is some history I found on Promise from the pages of the Enterprise OR phone book. "Promise- 1891 Empties into the Wallowa River. It was named by John Phillips and Dan Mann when they camped in this district in the spring of 1890. Phillips jokingly remarked that this was the Promised land that Moses never got to. He settled here in 1891, and named his first daughter Promise. During the first twelve years that he lived here, he killed 89 deer and 14 bear." My Mom always thought her dad was born in Promise Land until I showed here on the map that it was just Promise and not Promise Land.

BAKER - My Great-Grandmother was Martha Ann Baker, who married John Fremont Teeter. Martha was born 26 Dec 1855 in Wabash Twp. Adams Co. IN. She died in Adams Co. on 14 Jun 1901. She married John Teeter on 19 Aug 1880. Martha's parents were Jacob Baker, born in PA, and Hanna Conkle, born in Ohio. Hanna died in Adams Co. IN on 9 Nov 1863 I have no other info on this Baker family except there may have been a son named George. Sure would like to know more about them. ----- BEHYMER (B'HIMER; BECKELHYMER; BECHTELHIMER; PICKELHIMER, and other variations: My GGG-Grandfather was Solomon BEHYMER, b.21 Oct 1782 in Virginia. He married Mary (Polly) WEBB on 2 Feb 1804 in Franklin Co. VA. He died 8 Dec 1858 in Clermont Co. Ohio. Mary was born in Virginia in 1878 and died 20 Sep 1870, possibly in Clermont Co. Ohio. Their son William, b. 5 Apr 1822, was my GG-Grandfather. Solomon's name, we think, was originally Bechtelhymer. He was listed in the 1810 census as Pickelhimer. He was listed in the 1830 census as B'Hymer. He moved from VA to Lincoln Co. KY ca 1811-1822, then to Clermont Co. Ohio (near Batavia) ca 1824. The question is, who was Solomon's father? Some records seem to indicate Jonathan, others state Johannes or John. There are several "John" BEHYMERs who may have been the father of Solomon. ----- BAXTER - My GG-Grandfather John M. Robison married Jane R. BAXTER ca 1820 in Perry Co. PA. Jane was born 23 Nov 1789 in Perry Co. She died in Crawford Co. Ohio 18 May 1851. Her father was Jonathan BAXTER, who operated a tannery near Ickesburg, Perry Co. PA. This is all I know about the BAXTER family. HELP!

It is called "How to Gather a 1001 Names an Hour > from a Family History Center" - by Robert Ragan. Subtitle: "The little > known secrets of How to Gather a 1001 > Names an Hour from a Family History Center". > I think the clue to how worthwhile this book could be is in the title "1001 Names" with NAMES being the important word. You can get that many names from a phone-book CD-ROM or from a Census CD-ROM, but they would not be part of your family history. You may be lucky enough to find that someone in your family has entered 1001 names of relatives into the Ancestral File or the IGI, but collecting them is only part of the process. Find the submitters and get their sources, look for changes made in the Ancestral File, find duplicated names, check for inconsistencies in the data, and determine if the sources include records that would establish relationships. Just because the names are the same doesn't mean that persons belong in the same family. It is exciting to find many names, but to paraphrase an old statement: Slow and steady wins the honest pedigree chart.
