| 652 | Information from Janice Schoen Nov. 1999 Information on the Grinnell's is from the book of "The Descendants of Matthew & Rose (French) Greenell. Info on Anson is on pg. 202 generation NO. 9 Taken from a letter from James O. Coplien, 23, Nov. 1981; He was acarpenter by trade. He and family lived on a farm in the town of Adams, Green Co. He moved to the city of Monroe, Wi in 1897. Late in life, Anson had lost both legs from a bout with gangrene. He was nearly 80. He lived several years morel and refused to let the loss stop him, as the article quoted below from the MOnroe Evening Times, June 1,1936 shows: "Not every man at the age of 84 and with both legs gone would have the spirit and the strength to continue wood chopping activities, carpentry and gardening. But Anson W. Grinnell, 2002 Twelfth Avenue does. He has arranged a hig chopping block and has just the right knack of getting his wheelchair into proper position for good work with the axe. In the garden he propels himself along the rows, weilding the hoe in a way to keep the rows carefully cultivatived. And he continues his interest in his carpentry trade by placing his chair in a convenient position to his work bench. Mr. Grinnell likes to sit beside the card table, too, his favorite game being euchre..." | Family (F908)

| 656 | Isaac was the eldest son of Captain John (1), and came to this country with his father. He was made a Freeman March 4, 1635. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1645, and was chosen its Captain in 1667. He was Captain of the Roxbury Company in the Narragansett Expedition, and was killed at the head of his company in the famous Fort Fight on December 19, 1675, (near Four Corners, Sakonnet River, Rhode Island, Ed.). He was an original donor of the Free School. Illustration caption: (from an old wood cut of the attack on the Indians) Captain Isaac Johnson was Killed in the "Great Swamp Fight" Dec. 19, 1675, "gallantly leading his men across the fatal tree-bridge at the entrance to the Fort".... "the companies of Captain Davenport and Johnson came first to this place.... Johnson fell dead at the log,"... "in the bloodiest battle of Colonial history." (see "Mass. Archives.")

In December, 1636, an act was passed which definitely accomplished this result. One of these included the companies of Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Weymouth, and Hingham, with John Winthrop as Colonel, Thomas Dudley as Lieutenant Colonel" (and Isaac (2) Johnson as Captain). SML Comment: The battle took place in South Kingstown, not "near Four Corners, Sakonnet River, Rhode Island" as the author states. He married Elizabeth Porter, daughter of Adrian Porter & Elizabeth Allott, on Jan 20, 1636/7 in Roxbury, Mass. Died Roxbury, Mass., on 13 Aug 1683. ---------------------------- CAPTAIN ISAAC JOHNSON was born in 1617 in Herne, East County, England; and sailed to New England, settling in Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1630 with his father's family, probably in the company of Governor Winthrop. Isaac Johnson was a freeman on March 4, 1685 (CD504 Early New England Settlers, 1600s-1800s in King Philip's War 1675-1677, Beginning of Hostilities in King Philip's War. Broderbund Software, Inc, Banner Blue Division). Isaac was the son of John Johnson of Roxbury. John Johnson came to New England with the Wintrop Fleet in 1630(?). John was chosen by the General Court as Constable of Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1630. John was born in Emgland, and married (1) Margery ? in England. John died in Roxbury, Massachusetts; on September 30, 1659. Captain Isaac Johnson married ELIZABETH PORTER. on January 20, 1636/37 in Roxbury, MA.

| 675 | LULA H. CLARK, 87, of Mableton died Saturday. Funeral, 11 a.m. Monday, Castellaw Funeral Home. Published in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on 8/6/2006. | Hasty, Lula Idabell (I23712)
|
| 676 | LULA HASTY CLARK Lula Hasty was born in Moultrie, GA on November 20, 1918 and was the second child of Robert and Nettie Hasty. Shortly after she was born, Lula along with her parents, her older sister, Ruby, and her grandmother, Liza Scarborough, took the train and moved to Atlanta. After departing the train depot, they rode the street car to their new home and in a few days their mule and household goods arrived. Lula’s family moved quite often while she was growing up, mostly back and forth between farms in the Douglas County area and Atlanta. She and her three sisters Ruby, Leila and Nona all attended Girl’s High School in Atlanta. However Lula was not able to graduate from school before the family made the permanent move to Douglas County. Shortly after making that move and at an age of about 17 Lula met a young man by the name of Eugene Clark. Over the course of the next year or so Lula and her older sister Ruby double dated quite often during Gene’s courtship of Lula. Eventually Lula, at the age of 18, married Eugene Clark on December 12th, 1936. Initially Gene and Lula lived with the Clark family but they soon got a small house just a few miles away. Lula and Gene’s first two children were born in that small home in Douglas County. Their oldest daughter, Lillian, was born on March 26th, 1938. Lula often recalled when Lillian would sing “There’s a Little Black Train a Coming†and rock in a rocking chair all day long. Their second daughter, Helen, was born on December 5, 1939 during the coldest winter on record in GA. Helen told me that she remembers the story about how Grandma had wrapped her up so thoroughly for a trip to the doctor that when they arrived and handed her over to the doctor for inspection the doctor opened the blankets expecting to find baby Helen’s face but instead he found her feet. Around 1940, Lula’s father helped her and Gene build a house on North Avenue in Atlanta which they lived in for many years. There were many firsts at this address. The Clark family got their first indoor toilet in 1948 when a sewage line was put in down the street. They got their first telephone in about 1950 and some years after that the family got their first television. While living on North Avenue, Lula and Gene had two more children. Carol, their third daughter, was born on June 5, 1942 at in the home on North Avenue and five years later their son Danny was born on November 6, 1947 in a hospital in Atlanta. The kids liked to play with their uncle and aunt, Bobby and Ginny, Lula’s youngest sibling who lived down the street. They played in a wonderful play area Lula made for them under the house by digging out all the dirt and putting in a sand box. Near the end of World War II in 1945 Gene was drafted into service. He was fortunate to receive a job as a barber in Florida. Both Lillian and Helen remembered this time during their lives and going to school in Florida. Lillian was in 2nd grade, Helen in the 1st, and Carol was three years old and stayed at home with Lula. One night on their way back to Georgia for Christmas, Gene slept while Lula drove. When he awoke, Gene questioned Lula as to why she was driving right down the center of the road. Lula replied, “Well it’s the middle of the night and no one is on the road and I’m getting us back to GA as fast as I can.†Later that same evening, they had a flat tire. When they lifted a package to retrieve the spare tire, the sound of “ma ma†came from the dolls that Lula had purchased at the PX for the girls. But when the girls questioned them about this noise, of course Lula and Gene hadn’t heard a thing. Lula made sure her children went to church every Sunday and she worked hard to make all their clothes. She taught Sunday school and always worked in the week-long summer camp held at Hard Labor Creek State Park. At the camp, she worked double duty, as a counselor and being in charge of the kitchen. Everyone at camp quickly learned that she made the best biscuits in the world. Her family was already well aware of this talent and requested that she make them at all the family reunions. Lula loved to fix Sunday dinners for her family, often fixing a dozen or more dishes, and always her famous biscuits. Of course Marty and I like to refer to them as “skeet†biscuits because even though they were always delicious with hot butter and jelly on them the Frisbee sized ones tempted you to want to toss them into the air just to see if they would fly. Lula was also a good seamstress. When Helen and Carol got married, she made all the attendants dresses and also planned and furnished all the refreshments for the weddings. One thing she didn’t plan on was the ice storm that occurred on the cold January day that Carol got married. Lula had to run hot water on the front steps of their North Avenue home just to get the bride out of the house. And then when she was setting up the refreshments, Lula discovered the punch she had picked up from Rich’s the night before was frozen solid and the glass containers had broken in the trunk of the car. But not to be outdone, Lula marched down to the A&P and bought Hawaiian punch and ginger ale and everybody thought it was wonderful! In 1963, a few years after Helen and Carol were married, Lula, Gene, Lillian and Danny moved to a new home in East Point where Danny attended Headland High School. While living in East Point, Lula decided to finish high school also and received her GED at about age 55. In 1978 Danny got married and moved to Vermont. Grandma Clark was a very selfless person, always wanting more for others than for herself. She was also a very thrifty wife as exemplified in this passage from Proverbs 31… Proverbs 31: 10 ~ 22 & 30 ~ 31 10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies. 11 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. 12 She will not hinder him but help him all her life. 13 She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. 14 She is like a merchant's ship; she brings her food from afar. 15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day's work for her servant girls. 16 She goes out to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. 18 She watches for bargains; her lights burn late into the night. 19 Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber. 20 She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy. 21 She has no fear of winter for her household because all of them have warm clothes. 22 She quilts her own bedspreads. She dresses like royalty in gowns of finest cloth 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. 31 Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise. I certainly think Grandma Clark fits this description. A somewhat humorous example of this type of action on her part was the time Lula found a very nice lantern at the Good Will store. It was only missing a globe which certainly could be replaced and make a very nice piece for somebody that needed it. Upon showing it to Helen it became apparent that Grandma had bought the exact same lantern that Helen had recently donated to the Good Will since she could not find a matching globe for it as she had bought it originally in the PX when they lived in Germany. And of course as my mom and dad reminded me today there was the push-in / pull-out Christmas tree in the closet at Grandma’s which allowed her to decorate for Christmas in a moment. In 1985, Lula and Gene, who were now both in their mid-sixties, decided to move to Mableton and Lula’s brother Bobby built them a new house. Even at their age Lula and Gene insisted on doing some of the work. They cleaned up the work site every day and did all the landscaping and lawn work. One of the things they requested when the lot was graded was to have a large flat area for their garden. Lula and Gene were famous for raising tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, okra, mustard greens and much more. I’m sure many of you here have eaten vegetables from their garden. In 1986, Lillian, Helen, Carol and Danny held a very nice 50th Anniversary dinner for their parents even though Lula objected and said, “who would come to such a thing?†She was quite surprised at the turnout and how everyone had tales to tell about their friend and relative Lula. As they got older, Lula, Gene and Lillian had a regular routine of visiting Ruby and Lowell on Tuesdays each week at the McDonalds in Douglasville. This time together meant a lot to Lula. They would often return to Ruby’s house and talk the day away. During the nineties, Gene became ill with Alzheimer’s disease and Lula tried very hard to take care of him at home. After many years of dealing with the hardships of the disease she had to put Gene in a nursing home. Her husband of 60 years passed away on February 25, 1998, shortly after his 81st birthday. Lula and Lillian continued their visits to Ruby’s house, until Lula had a stroke in 2001 after which she was unable to get around. Lula was able to live out the last five years of her life at home with excellent care provided by Marie and Lina. Unfortunately last June we lost Lillian, Lula’s oldest daughter to her fight with Cancer. In the final year of Lula’s life, she loved to sit in her sun room and sing hymns with Lina. It is wonderful to know that we have all come here today to celebrate the life of Lula “Grandma†Clark. She was indeed a wonderful person to know and in my mind a servant to others in all that she did. As I know she worked hard for her family in the early days I personally saw how she would work tirelessly whenever the family came to visit her in her home. Many of my fondest memories are the days when they lived in the house in East Point where we would all get together on a Sunday afternoon to eat fresh vegetables, skeet biscuits, and strawberry cake (although Carol remembers a lemon cake, Tommy the coconut and Debbie the chocolate). My mom recently told me how nobody knows for sure how she made many of her wonderful dishes and desserts since she did most of it from scratch without a written recipe. We would watch the Braves on an old black and white TV, swing on the old rickety metal glider sofa on the back porch while we would check out all the ceramic molds and partially completed projects that Helen and Grandma had been working on. We would throw the football in the backyard with Uncle Danny and Grandpa and check out the greens in his garden at the back of the lot. After a big meal we would play cards around the dining room table and some of us would even dare to taste the coffee and chicory that she would brew. To me Grandma, Grandpa, and Lillian made up their own family unit just like the rest of us. We all loved them dearly and they will always live in our hearts with fond memories. And although he could not be with us today, Danny was able to spend 3 weeks with her in July and we are fortunate to have Diana with us here today. Grandma passed away early this past Saturday morning with both Helen and Carol by her side. We love you Grandma, you will be greatly missed, but I know you are now in a place in the presence of the Lord so much better than any of us can imagine. | Hasty, Lula Idabell (I23712)

William Thorne 1676; 2nd husband Thomas Bailey married Lydia Redfield on 10 Jan 1655/56 at New London, New London, CT. The "History of New London" source spells the surname as "Bayley". However, Ms Caulkins, puts a footnote at the bottom of the page which states: "His descendants uniformly write the name Bailey." Thomas received a lot grant made by Winthrop Plantation in Jan, 1655/56. The History of New London notes on page 290: "The same month (as his marriage) a grant was made to him by the townsmen, 'with the advice and consent of Mr. Winthrop,' of a lot lying north of Mr. Winthrop's land, upon the east side of the river. Relinquishing his house on the town plot, he settled on this grant, which by subsequent additions expanded into a farm." Much of the information that concerns the family of Thomas Bailey and Lydia Redfield was obtained from the web page of Donna Beers.

His father, Andrew MEYER, was a cabinet-maker and also farmed. His mother's maiden name was Mary ADOLPH. George was the fifth born of nine children. The family immigrated to America in 1834, landing in New York City and proceeding to Wayne Co., Ohio. The family lived there 10 years. George MEYER had some schooling, but was mostly self-educated. In 1844, the family moved to Holt Co., MO, settling in Lewis township two miles northwest of Oregon. George engaged in farming with his father until 1849. He joined the Gold Rush to California and was one of the first to leave Holt Co. for the Pacific Coast. He went with his brother Andrew and Judge McINTYRE; their wagon was the first to cross the Mo. River at Iowa Point - the crossing usually selected by emigrants from Holt Co. They left the Iowa and Sac Agency May 1, 1849 and reached Hangtown, Calif. Aug 13, beating the main body of emigrants from Holt Co. who started 3 days later on May 3 by more than a month. He searched for gold mainly on the American River, usually within 2 miles of the initial discovery by Sutter and Marshall. He started back to Mo. in Sept. 1850. He selected the water route via Isthmus of Panama and by way of New York. George MEYER married Mary Ann KUNKEL April 3, 1851. She is the daughter of Jacob KUNKEL and came to MO from Morrow Co., Ohio about 1845. Mr. MEYER purchased the farm where he now resides on Section 7, Township 59, Range 37 (this would be a very few miles south-southeast of Oregon). This was one of the first settled farms in the county and the site of the first store ever opened in Holt Co., established by George and Augustus BORCHERS in the fall of 1840. Mr. MEYER first purchased 160 acres for his home farm and 80 acres in the timber. Subsequent to the war (presumably the Civil War) he bought 270 more acres and now in all owns 1,125 acres, 445 in his home farm and the balance in the upper part of the county. He is engaged in farming and feeds livestock some winters. He is prosperous, enterprising and progressive in his disposition. He specializes in raising fruit and has perhaps the choicest varieties in the county. His fruit displays have taken premiums at Holt Co. fairs and the $200 premium at the first Grand Exposition at St. Joseph for the best display of fruit and open to entries from the whole state. The extent of his farming operations may be judged from the fact that in 1876 he raised 270 acres of corn averaging 40 to 50 bushels per acre; 950 bushels of fall wheat; and 1,000 bushels of oats. He is feeding 40 head of cattle and last winter fatted 100 head of hogs, many of his own raising. Political affiliation: Formerly a Democrat and cast his vote in 1848 for Lewis Cass. In 1860 he wagered on Lincoln to win, but voted for Stephen A. Douglas. He was a strong Union man during the Civil War, served several times in the militia, and since the war has been a decided Republican. Mr. and Mrs. MEYER celebrated 25 years of marriage April, 1876 and had a family group photograph taken, in which appear the MEYER's and their nine children, all living at home. The names of the children in order of birth are Jacob S., Julia A., Mary Alice, Daniel, Peter, Fanny Ellen, Solomon, and twins Ida and Ada. Mr. and Mrs. MEYER have been members of the German Methodist church at Oregon for 20 years. Both his parents are buried in the Oregon cemetery.

| 697 | Mayflower Pilgrim Family Genealogies through Five Generations (Volume Six, Second Edition - Stephen Hopkins) by John D. Austin Biographical Summary Constance Hopkins was baptized on 11 May 1606 in Hursley, Hampshire, England, to parents Stephen Hopkins and his first wife Mary. It should be noted that the long-standing Constance Dudley myth was disproven in 1998: the Hopkins family of the Mayflower was not from Wortley, Gloucester as had been previously speculated and published. Constance came with her father Stephen, step-mother Elizabeth, brother Giles, and step-sister Damaris on the Mayflower in 1620, at the age of 14. Constance's future husband, Nicholas Snow, arrived on the ship Anne in 1623. Nicholas and Constance Snow were married shortly before the 1627 Division of Cattle, and lived in Plymouth for a time. Around 1645, the family moved to Eastham. William Bradford, writing in 1651, stated that Constance Hopkins had 12 children "all of them living". Only 9 can be documented with existing records. Constance, wife of Daniel Doane, is quite probably one of the three "missing" children, but unfortunately there is no conclusive proof. | Hopkins, Constance (I2150)

It should be noted that the long-standing Constance Dudley myth was disproven in 1998: the Hopkins family of the Mayflower was not from Wortley, Gloucester as had been previously speculated and published. Giles came with her father Stephen, step-mother Elizabeth, sister Constance, and step-sister Damaris on the Mayflower in 1620, at the age of 12. He volunteered for service in the 1637 Pequot War but was not called. He married Catherine Wheldon in 1639 at Plymouth; the family moved shortly thereafter to Yarmouth, living there for about five years before moving on to settle at Eastham, where he died sometime between 1688 and 1690. | Hopkins, Giles (I2151)

| 699 | Mayflower Pilgrim Family Genealogies through Five Generations (Volume Six, Second Edition - Stephen Hopkins) by John D. Austin Biographical Summary Stephen Hopkins was from Hampshire, England. He married his first wife, Mary, and in the parish of Hursley, Hampshire; he and wife Mary had their children Elizabeth, Constance, and Giles all baptized there. It has long been claimed that the Hopkins family was from Wortley, Gloucester, but this was disproven in 1998. For more information on the true English origins of Stephen Hopkins, see the "Published Research" section at the bottom of this page. Stephen Hopkins went with the ship Sea Venture on a voyage to Jamestown, Virginia in 1609 as a minister's clerk, but the ship wrecked in the "Isle of Devils" in the Bermudas. Stranded on an island for ten months, the passengers and crew survived on turtles, birds, and wild pigs. Six months into the castaway, Stephen Hopkins and several others organized a mutiny against the current governor. The mutiny was discovered and Stephen was sentenced to death. However, he pleaded with sorrow and tears. "So penitent he was, and made so much moan, alleging the ruin of his wife and children in this his trespass, as it wrought in the hearts of all the better sorts of the company". He managed to get his sentence commuted. Eventually the castaways built a small ship and sailed themselves to Jamestown. How long Stephen remained in Jamestown is not known. However, while he was gone, his wife Mary died. She was buried in Hursley on 9 May 1613, and left behind a probate estate which mentions her children Elizabeth, Constance and Giles. Steven was back in England by 1617, when he married Elizabeth Fisher, but apparently had every intention of bringing his family back to Virginia. Their first child, Damaris, was born about 1618. In 1620, Stephen Hopkins brought his wife, and children Constance, Giles, and Damaris on the Mayflower (child Elizabeth apparently had died). Stephen was a fairly active member of the Pilgrims shortly after arrival, perhaps a result of his being one of the few individuals who had been to Virginia previously. He was a part of all the early exploring missions, and was used almost as an "expert" on Native Americans for the first few contacts. While out exploring, Stephen recognized and identified an Indian deer trap. And when Samoset walked into Plymouth and welcomed the English, he was housed in Stephen Hopkins' house for the night. Stephen was also sent on several of the ambassadorial missions to meet with the various Indian groups in the region. Stephen was an assistant to the governor through 1636, and volunteered for the Pequot War of 1637 but was never called to serve. By the late 1630s, however, Stephen began to occasionally run afoul of the Plymouth authorities, as he apparently opened up a shop and served alcohol. In 1636 he got into a fight with John Tisdale and seriously wounded him. In 1637, he was fined for allowing drinking and shuffleboard playing on Sunday. Early the next year he was fined for allowing people to drink excessively in his house: guest William Reynolds was fined, but the others were acquitted. In 1638 he was twice fined for selling beer at twice the actual value, and in 1639 he was fined for selling a looking glass for twice what it would cost if bought in the Bay Colony. Also in 1638, Stephen Hopkins' maidservant got pregnant from Arthur Peach, who was subsequently executed for murdering an Indian. The Plymouth Court ruled he was financially responsible for her and her child for the next two years (the amount remaining on her term of service). Stephen, in contempt of court, threw Dorothy out of his household and refused to provide for her, so the court committed him to custody. John Holmes stepped in and purchased Dorothy's remaining two years of service from him: agreeing to support her and child. Stephen died in 1644, and made out a will, asking to be buried near his wife, and naming his surviving children. | Hopkins, Stephen (I1695)
