The History and Genealogy Pages

William WATERS, or WATROUS, was born in New York State in 1795, and died in Oregon in 1875. In between, he lived in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, and fathered twelve children with Rachel COX. One of their children, Hannah Keziah WATERS married Asa Alfred McCULLY, and was my wife's great great-grandmother. In the course of our McCULLY-WATERS investigations, we have accumulated information on many of the WATERS and COX ancestors and descendants, which we share below.

The COX side of the ancestry of Rachel COX can be traced back pretty confidently to the emigrant James COCK of Long Island, New York in the mid-1600s. So far, I have done very little personal investigation of the generations earlier than Rachel's father, Jordan COX. The line appears to be fairly well documented, but there seem to be few primary source records. Much of what I present here for the generations prior to Jordan COX is abbreviated and paraphrased from the 1912 history of the group prepared by G. W. Cocks and J. J. Cox [1]. Any more recent information on any of this COX clan is welcome, as are any additions to, corrections to, and questions about later generations. I have refrained from putting in information on people alive or dead within the last 50 years, but if you have specific questions, let me know.

Use of the names COCK, COCKS and COX varied within family groups, and sometimes changed within a family between censuses, and sometimes seemingly on the spur of the moment. I have tried to use the form that seemed most preferred by the individual at any given time, but don't be surprised if you find discrepancies between records.

He died 26 July 1834 at Yorktown, Westchester County, New York, and was buried in the Friends' burying ground at Amawalk, Westchester County, New York [4].

51. Jordan COCKS or COX [Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 18 June 1765, probably at Crum Elbow, Dutchess Co., or nearby in Westchester County, New York. He died before 1840 near Battle Creek, Calhoun County, Michigan. He was a farmer. He married first Mary ___ about 1796 (possibly as early as 1792 or 1793, if the ages of his daughters are as suggested by the 1810 federal census [5]), probably in Westchester or Dutchess county. She was a non-Quaker and Jordan was disinherited from the Friends' Creek Monthly Meeting as a result [195]. Consequently, neither their wedding, Jordan's wife's surname, nor their children's names are included in Quaker records [1, 4]. Jordan moved his family from Dutchess or Westchester County, New York to Caledonia, Livingston County, New York before 1810 [5]. His first wife Mary died some time before 1815 at Wheatland, Monroe County, New York [1]. I haven't been able to find a definite death date or a cemetery record.
In May 1819, Jordan's son William COX applied for a land grant in Ontario, Canada. In his petition he stated that his father Jordan COX was a Canadian settler, who lived at Norwich, (now) Oxford County, Ontario, Canada [8]. I can find no records so far that Jordan actually owned land in Canada (he didn't apply for a Crown land grant, but I haven't exhausted the possibility that he purchased land there). He was back in Calendonia, New York for the 1820 Federal census [9]. Here's what I think happened during the 1810 to 1820 period:
(a) Jordan's first wife Mary (reportedly a non-Quaker) died by 1815 in the Rochester, New York, area.
(b) The first meeting of Quakers in Rochester occurred in 1817 [10]. Several of Jordan's brothers were living in the area, and retained ties with the Society of Friends. For whatever reason, Jordan sought reinstatement in the Friends' Church.
(c) A Friends' Monthly Meeting was established in Norwich, Ontario in 1819, but the first Preparatory Meeting was held there in 1816 [11]. Jordan's son William may have already been living in that area (see below).
(d) Jordan moved to Norwich around 1816, perhaps intending to settle in a new Quaker colony, perhaps going only to help organize the new Monthly Meeting. Whatever his original motives, he stayed in Canada only until 1819, then returned to New York State.

Jordan COX married 2nd in 1819 Mary OAKLEY, who is traditionally thought to have been born in Caledonia Township, Livingston Co., New York 20 Aug 1799 [1]. However, some federal censuses list her birthplace as "Canada" [6, 7]. Her father was likely Jonathan OAKLEY, who had the household next to Jordan and Mary in 1820 [9]. The Oakleys do not seem to have been present in Caledonia in 1810; that, coupled with Mary OAKLEY's birthplace designation of "Canada," might mean that Jordan met her during his few years in Ontario. If so, they may have been married there, rather than in New York.
Jordan was reinstated into the Friends Church 22 May 1823, and he and Mary were prominent members of the Wheatland Meeting, with Jordan being an overseer in 1836.
The earliest land transaction I have so far found in Jordan's name occurred 1 September 1836, when he acquired 20 acres from Joseph Fellows. He and Mary sold that land 17 March 1837 to Isaac COX, son of Jordan's brother Samuel [12].The sale was made preparatory to their moving out of the area, to a farm in Bedford, Calhoun County, Michigan [13]. The move was probably planned in conjunction with the 1838 establishment of the Friends' Hicksite Monthly Meeting at Battle Creek, Michigan. Jordan must have died almost immediately after completing the move, for an 11 July 1838 notice by the Society of Friends acknowledged his death [14].
Mary and her children continued to farm in Bedford, Calhoun County, Michigan, until some time after 1850 [6, 13]. (On 1 May 1839 Jordan was awarded posthumously 80 acres of Federal land, located in T1N R8W Section 14 [16]. I haven't checked the map location of this land to see if that is where Mary lived.) By 1860, she and some of her family had relocated to Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan [7]. She died there 2 January 1863 at the age of 64, and is buried in the Iden Cemetery at Johnstown [15].

Jordan COX and his first wife Mary are reported to have had six children [1, 6]. So far, I have found information only on William COX and Rachel COX. When Jordan remarried and was accepted back into the Friends' Church, his non-Quaker children were essentially disowned. They don't show up in censuses of his household after 1810, and are not identifiable in the households of any of their New York relatives. New York State has very few early birth, death and marriage records, so they have not been traceable using those sources. Below, I've given some thoughts about their ages and birth order based on the 1810 census, but (other than for William and Rachel) it is purely speculation. More speculation: I assume that at least Rachel and Levi, and possibly some of the other daughters accompanied their father to Canada after their mother died, but it is just as easy to speculate that they stayed in New York with relatives or on their own.
Children of Jordan and Mary were:
71. Martha COX born between 1795 and 1800
72. Rhoda COX born between 1795 and 1800
73. William COX
74. Polly COX born between 1795 and 1800
75. Rachel COX born 15 May 1802.

78. Joseph COX born 6 June 1822
79. Dorothy COX born 2 or 4 March 1824
80. Phebe COX born 3 April 1826
81. Elizabeth COX born 26 October 1828
82. Chloe COX born 10 December 1830
83. Benjamin COX born 19 February 1833
84. Jordan COX Jr. born 3 April 1836
85. Isaac COX born ca 16 April 1838

52. James COCK [Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 18 June 1768 in Phillips Patent (now Putnam County), New York. He married Elizabeth SKINNER (born 25 May 1788, daughter of Matthew and Sarah SKINNER). James was living in Stillwater, Saratoga County, New York, before moving to Caledonia, Monroe County, New York, around 1815. "He lived in a log house on the river road opposite his brother Jordan's. Moved to Canada about 1845" [4].
Children of James and Elizabeth were:
86. Henry COX born 30 December 1810
87. Phebe COX born 13 October 1815

53. Levi COCK [Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 1783 in Dutchess or Westchester county, New York; died 14 March 1832; married1st Elizabeth WEEKS, who died 1812; married 2nd Theresa SCOFIELD (born 1788, died 1850; married 2nd James BAKER). Levi and Elizabeth had four children:
88. James COX born 1805
89. John COX born 1808
90. Charles COX born 1810
91. Elizabeth COX born 1812

Levi and Theresa had four children:

SIXTH GENERATION

54. Joseph COX [Samuel-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 15 November 1785 New York [4] (maybe Westchester or Saratoga county). He married in Wheatland, Monroe County, New York, 1st Dorothy FARWELL, daughter of Elisha FARWELL and Sarah HEATH, who came to Wheatland, New York ca 1800. He married 2nd Chloe ALDRICH. Joseph had six sons and four daughters, but I don't know with which wife [3].

55. Isaac COX [Samuel-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 17 September 1786 in eastern New York.. He married in Wheatland, Monroe County, New York, Anna SHADBOLT, daughter of Darius and Martha (WEEKS) SHADBOLT [4]. They had four sons and five daughters [3].

67. Abel COX [Isaac-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 29 October 1803 in either Dutchess or Westchester county, New York; died 18 September 1825.

68. Mary C. COX [Isaac-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 17 June 1807 Yorktown, Westchester County, New York; d. 3 April 1839 Caledonia, Monroe County, New York; married 18 February 1829 Stephen HALLOCK, son of Richard and Martha (COX) HALLOCK [4].

69. John COX [Isaac-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 31 August 1819 Yorktown, Westchester County, New York; died 1901; married Mary C. CUNNINGHAM, daughter of Oliver and Ann (MOSHER) CUNNINGHAM of North Castle, Westchester County, New York [4].

70. Stephen COX [Isaac-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 3 November 1821 Westchester County, New York; died 27 August 1875; married 1st Catherine L. DENIKE; married 2nd Elizabeth (TAYLOR) CLINGER.

71. Martha COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was probably born between 1795 and 1800, probably in Westchester or Dutchess County, New York. If she lived long enough, she likely married in the Livingston-Monroe counties area of Upstate New York.

72. Rhoda COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was probably born between 1795 and 1800, probably in Westchester or Dutchess County, New York. If she lived long enough, she likely married in the Livingston-Monroe counties area of Upstate New York.

73. William COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 30 July 1798 [20]. Family tradition is that he was born in Genesee County, New York, but all the evidence is that his father Jordan COX did not arrive in Upstate New York until after 1804. It seems more likely that he was born in Westchester or Dutchess County, New York. He appears to be included in his father's household in Caledonia, Genesee County, New York, during the 1810 federal census (there is a male of the correct age) [5]. Presumably he farmed with his father during his youth. On 29 August 1814, at age 17, he enlisted in the New York Volunteer Militia, and served briefly on the American side in the War of 1812. His military record (which consists of one Company Muster Roll slip and one Company Pay Roll slip, with his name spelled both COX and COCKE [21] shows he was a member of Lieut. Col. Jedediah Crosby's Regiment, Capt. Levi Lacy's Company. He was at Fort Erie, New York, on 29 September 1814, and presumably participated in the successful defense of that fort on 23 September 1814. Some time after that, he was captured by Indians (who were allied with the British?) and held by them for some time ("near the head of Lake Ontario" [22]). He escaped in May 1815, arriving at Lewiston, New York 26 May 1815. He was mustered out 29 May 1815. (For his service, he was given a bounty land warrant of 160 acres in Iowa, which he later assigned to Samuel M. Ballard [22].)
We have no specific records of William COX from May 1815 until May 1819. He may have returned to his father's home in Caledonia, New York, for a brief time, but in May 1819, when applying for an Ontario, Canada, provincial land grant, he stated that he had lived in the Province "upwards of three years" [8]. His residence, at Trafalgar, Ontario, may have been close to where he was held captive during the War of 1812; he might have returned there because of his knowledge of the location. An alternative possibility is that he accompanied his father to Norwich, Ontario, in 1816, when his father moved there, apparently to help establish a Quaker Meeting (see Jordan COX, above).
William was not granted land as a result of his 1819 petition, and he applied a second time 31 March 1824. The record is not clear on whether he was actually ever granted land [23]. In any event, he lived at Nelson Township and Trafalgar Township, Ontario, Canada until about 1837, marrying there 9 October 1821 to Elizabeth TEEPLE. Elizabeth was the daughter of Philip TEEPLE (born ca 1770 New Jersey) and Catherine _____ [24]. She was born 6 August 1805 [20] or 1808 [22], probably in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania [22], although some censuses record her as being born in New Jersey before the family moved to Pennsylvania.
About 1837, William moved his family from Canada to Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio [164], where they were living at the time of the 1840 federal census [25]. In 1844, they moved to Warrick County, Indiana [26, 27] , where William's sister, Rachel (COX) WATERS, was living with her family. In 1846 or 1847, they moved to New London, Henry County, Iowa, where both William and Elizabeth lived until their deaths, William on 30 September 1871 and Elizabeth on 19 April 1874 [20, 26, 27, 28].
William Cox was a farmer and carpenter. In 1847, he framed a house for New London's first physician, Dr. Maynard [27]. He framed other houses, built doors, did internal woodworking, built implements for a weaver's loom, and whatever other carpentry jobs that came his way [29].
William and Elizabeth (TEEPLE) COX had 12 children:
96. Philip COX born 7 October 1822
97. Nancy Ann COX born 11 May 1824
98. Catherine COX born 6 April 1826
99. Jordan COX born 8 December 1828
100. William COX born 17 February 1831
101. Rachel COX born 15 April 1833
102. Elizabeth COX born 3 February 1836 or 1837
103. Mary COX born ca 1837 or 1838
104. Martha COX born 2 November 1838
105. Julius COX born 9 February 1841
106. Rebecca COX
107. Hannah Keturah COX
108. Amy COX
109. Anna COX

74. Polly COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was probably born between 1795 and 1800, probably in Westchester or Dutchess County, New York. If she lived long enough, she likely married in the Livingston-Monroe counties area of Upstate New York.

75. Rachel COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 15 May 1802. Family tradition is that she was born in Genesee County, New York, but all the evidence is that Jordan COX did not arrive in Upstate New York until after 1804. It seems more likely that she was born in Westchester or Dutchess County, New York. See PART II, THE DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM AND RACHEL (COX) WATERS for details of Rachel's life and descendants.

76. Levi COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] - In both the COPP and FROST genealogies, Levi COX is identified as one of Jordan's sons from his first marriage, but no additional information is given concerning him [1, 4]. I assume he is the male shown in Jordan's household in the 1810 federal census as being under 10 years of age [5]. From the ages of other children in the household, he was likely born between 1804 and 1809.

77. Ambrose COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 7 June 1820 at Caledonia, Genesee (later, Livingston) County, New York. Ambrose moved with his parents to Calhoun County, Michigan in 1837 or 1838. He farmed in Michigan until after 1880, first at Bedford, Calhoun County, then in Johnstown, Barry County. He married ca 1862 Mary ____, who was born in New York ca 1843 [6, 7, 13, 17, 18]. Their children were:
110. Mary E. COX born ca 1864
111. Benjamin J. COX born ca 1866
112. Adelia M. COX born ca 1868
113. Lydia L. COX born ca 1870
114. Rosa B. COX born ca 1872

78. Joseph COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 6 June 1822 Caledonia, Genesee County, New York. He moved with his parents to Calhoun County, Michigan, in 1837 or 1838. He reportedly died unmarried in Van Buren County, Michigan before 1847 [1].

79. Dorothy COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 2 or 4 March 1824 at Caledonia, Genesee County, New York. She moved with her parents to Calhoun County, Michigan in 1837 or 1838, and was apparently one of the daughters shown in her mother's household in the 1840 census [13]. She is not readily identifiable after that date; she probably married, if she lived.

80. Phebe COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 3 April 1826 at Caledonia, Genesee County, New York. She moved with her parents to Michigan in 1837 or 1838, and in September 1850 was unmarried and living in her mother's household in Bedford, Calhoun County, Michigan [6]. I haven't been able to identify her after that date.

81. Elizabeth COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 26 October 1828 in Caledonia, Genesee County, New York. She moved with her parents to Calhoun County, Michigan in 1837 or 1838, and was apparently one of the daughters shown in her mother's household in the 1840 census [13]. She is not readily identifiable after that date; she probably married, if she lived.

82. Chloe COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 10 December 1830 in Caledonia, Genesee County, New York. She moved with her parents to Calhoun County, Michigan in 1837 or 1838, and was apparently one of the daughters shown in her mother's household in the 1840 census [13]. She is not readily identifiable after that date; she probably married, if she lived.

83. Benjamin COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 19 February 1833 in Caledonia, Genesee County, New York. Benjamin moved with his parents to Calhoun County, Michigan in 1837 or 1838. He farmed in Michigan until after 1880, first with his brother Ambrose at Bedford, Calhoun County, then in Johnstown, Barry County. He married ca 1860 Hannah A. _____ who was reportedly born in New York in 1832. Benjamin died in 1907 and Hannah in 1917; they are both buried in the Iden Cemetery, Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan [6, 7, 13, 15, 17, 18]. Known children were (names from Federal censuses):
115. Alma L. COX born ca. 1861
116. Arvilla/Arilla A. COX born 4 April 1865
117. Frank J. COX born ca 1872

84. Jordan COX Jr. [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 3 April 1836 in Caledonia, Genesee County, New York. He moved with his parents to Michigan in 1837 or 1838, and a child of his age was recorded in his mother's household in the 1840 Bedford, Calhoun County, Michigan federal census. I could find no record of him later than that date. He may have also been called Stephen COX [14], but I can't find information on him under that name, either. There is a record for Jordan COX being buried in the Iden Cemetery, Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan, but the information given is very similar to that provided elsewhere for Isaac COX, below, so the record may be erroneous [15, 19].

85. Isaac COX [Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 16 April 1838 in Calhoun County, Michigan, perhaps after his father Jordan COX died. He lived with his mother and brothers in Calhoun and Barry counties, and farmed with them. He apparently never married. He reportedly died 26 May 1876 at Newton, Barry County, Michigan, aged 38 years 1 month 10 days [19].

86. Henry COX [James-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 30 December 1810 probably Saratoga County, New York. He married 1st, probably in Monroe County, New York, Matilda ____. They had one son and one daughter. He married 2nd in Michigan, wife's name undetermined [4].

87. Phebe COX [James-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 13 October 1815 Saratoga County, New York; later lived in Monroe County, New York.

88. James COX [Levi-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 1805 eastern New York; died 7 January 1892; married Mary C. DEAN, and lived in Wheatland, Monroe County, New York [4].

89. John COX [Levi-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 1808 eastern New York; died 8 March 1878 near Battle Creek, Calhoun County, Michigan; married Eleanor B. STRINGHAM, daughter of Jacob STRINGHAM [4].

91. Elizabeth COX [Levi-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 1812 eastern New York; married 1st Thomas ALLEN of Saratoga County, New York; married 2nd 1830, George CHAMBERS [4].

92. Mary S. COX [Levi-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 15 May 1817 New York (probably Monroe County); died 25 April 1853; married 9 February 1836 William A. WAKEMAN of Wheatland, Monroe County, New York, and later Mt. Clemens, Macomb County, Michigan [4].

93. Richard E. COX [Levi-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 4 April 1819 New York; died 2 June 1879; married 12 November 1840 Elizabeth Ann ROSS [4].

94. Adah E. COX [Levi-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 5 January 1824 New York; married 11 July 1841 John J. JOHNSON. They lived in North Batavia, Branch County, Michigan [4].

95. Alfred Frost COX [Levi-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 5 October 1826 New York; died 10 January 1872 Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, Michigan; married 14 September 1853 Mary GRAHAM [4].

SEVENTH GENERATION

96. Philip COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 7 October 1822 probably near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; died there 26 February 1825 [22].

97. Nancy Ann COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 11 May 1824 near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She lived in Canada until 1837, moving then with her family to Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. In 1844, they moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. In Henry County, 3 August 1848, she married her cousin James WATERS, son of William and Rachel (COX) WATERS, whom she had known in Warrick County, Indiana.
James and Nancy started out their "family" by caring for James' younger brother, Chauncy, left motherless when Rachel COX died 1 April 1848. They probably shared duties with Samuel and Mary WATERS, but Chauncy is shown in James' household in the 1850 census [30]. They lived "next door" to Samuel and Mary in New London until some time after 1860 [31], then moved to Nebraska. They were living and farming at Elmwood, Cass County, Nebraska in 1870 [32], and at Salt Creek, Cass County, in 1880 [33]. James died in 1883, and Nancy in 1890. Both are buried at Elmwood, Cass County, Nebraska [34].
I have found little detail of James' and Nancy's lives. They were farmers, and James was a member of the Odd Fellows for over 20 years, affiliated with the Greenwood Lodge No. 98 [35]. They had three children:
118. Mary WATERS born 1850
119. George WATERS
120. William S. WATERS born June 1856

98. Catherine COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 6 April 1826 near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She lived in Canada until 1837, moving then with her family to Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. While living in Ohio, probably about 1843 (from the ages of her children), she married Edward FORD. Edward was born ca 1815 in Scotland (probably Edinburgh) [30, 40]. He moved with his family from Scotland to Ontario, Canada [41] and, considering the timing of his marriage to Catherine, likely knew the Coxes in Ontario.
In 1844, the Fords and Coxes moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. In 1849, Edward Ford traveled overland to the California Gold Rush, with the same wagon train as Catherine's WATERS and McCULLY cousins, and probably her brother William COX [42]. Catherine stayed with her parents and her three children in New London, Iowa. Edward remained in California until late 1851 [43], came back to Iowa briefly, then started back to California in March 1852 with Catherine, their children, Catherine's brother Jordan COX and his family, and perhaps her brother William COX, as well [44, 45].
On arrival in California in the fall of 1852, Catherine and Edward settled in Mud Springs (now El Dorado), El Dorado County, where Edward had stayed on his previous trip to California. By January 1853, Catherine and the children had left Edward, and were living nearby with Catherine's brother Jordan COX, while Edward moved into a Mud Springs hotel [46]. Catherine had been working in a tavern before her break-up with Edward; afterward, she made some money washing, ironing and cooking for boarders [47]. Catherine kept her youngest child Lucinda with her at Jordan's; her two older children Elizabeth ("Libby") and William were enrolled in a boarding school near Sacramento [48].
Edward and Catherine did not reunite. I far as I can tell, they never divorced [49]. Edward stayed in Mud Springs for some period of time, but by July 1860 was living in Natomas, Sacramento County, California, with James and Ann Thomas [50]. In June 1870, he was in Gold Run, Placer County, living with a wife Emma (b. ca 1833 England) and a daughter Louisa (b. ca 1848 Iowa; note: I suspect this is Edward and Catherine's daughter Lucinda FORD, who was born in Iowa in 1848). He was employed as a house carpenter [51]. I can find no record of him after 1870.
Catherine COX and Edward FORD had three, and perhaps four, children:
121. Elizabeth ("Libby") FORD born ca 1844
122. William A. FORD born ca 1846
123. Lucinda FORD born ca 1848
124. (tentative) Child born ca July 1853

While living with her brother Jordan COX, Catherine met Robert A. (Anizer? [63]) GORDON, a recent arrival to California. Robert was born ca 1832 in Vermont, probably the son of Isaac GORDON and Hannah ___ of Sutton, Caledonia County, Vermont [56]. Some time between January 1854 and October 1854 Catherine left Mud Springs with Robert and apparently only one of her children (Lucinda?) [49, 55].They moved to northern California They may never have officially married [49, 57]. I have not yet been able to locate them from 1854 through 1859, but in 1860 they were living in Yreka, Siskiyou County, California [58]. One of their children was reportedly born in October 1862 at Edgewood, Siskiyou County [59]. In 1870 they lived at Butte, Siskiyou County, California [60], and also at Big Valley, Lassen County, California [61]. One of their daughters was married in Big Valley in February 1879 [59]. In 1880 they were at Adin, Modoc County, California [62].
Robert GORDON's occupation is variously given as farmer [60], tailor [62], and manufacturer of "boards, shingles and rails" [61]. He apparently died before 1897, perhaps before 1895. He is not mentioned in an October 1895 news note that Catherine GORDON was sick but improving in Big Valley [64]. On 2 August 1897, while on a visit with her son Lewis GORDON in Edgewood, Siskiyou County, California, she became ill and died. The funeral was held 3 August 1897, and she was buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery (presumably in Edgewood, although she was living in Big Valley at the time) [65].
Catherine and Robert A. GORDON had seven children:
125. Lillias/Lily GORDON born ca 1855
126. Sarah Helen GORDON born 1856
127. Lewis G. GORDON born ca 1858
128. Esther GORDON born March 1860
129. Martha GORDON born 26 October 1862
130. Joseph C. GORDON born ca 1865

99. Jordan COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 8 December 1828 near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He lived in Canada until 1837, moving then with his family to Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. In 1844, they moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. In Henry County, 30 October 1850, he married Faithy Ann TUCKER [104]. Faithy was born ca 1835 in Kentucky, the daughter of Lampton TUCKER (b. ca 1804 Kentucky) and Diana ____ (b. ca 1804 Tennessee). Her family moved from Kentucky to Iowa within a year or two of Faithy's birth, and were living in Mount Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa, in 1850 [105].
Jordan farmed in Henry County, Iowa, until March 1852, when he and his family started overland to California with his sister Catherine (COX) FORD and her family, and perhaps his brother William COX, as well [44, 45].
On arrival in California in the fall of 1852, Jordan and Faithy lived first at Pleasant Valley, El Dorado County, where Jordan tried gold mining. He was unsuccessful mining, and the place they were staying quit taking boarders, so 20 October 1852 they moved to Mud Springs (now El Dorado), El Dorado County [106]. They purchased a ranch about one-half mile from Mud Springs, improved some of the land for crop planting, and developed a ditch and flume to bring water to the property for gold mining. They lived there until the fall of 1855, farming and mining, but neither endeavor was supporting them. In the winter of 1855-56, they sold out and moved to Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California, where they settled on a quarter-section of Federal land. In addition to farming, Jordan was keeping steadily employed as a carpenter [107].
Jordan and Faithy lived in Sonoma County from 1856 until at least 1873, moving in 1857 from Santa Rosa to Windsor. In January 1868 Jordan purchased Government land in the county, but I can't tell from the record if they moved, again. They were still living in Windsor in August 1873 [108, 109, 110].
I have been unable to find any specific records of Jordan or Faithy from August 1873 until the 1880 Federal census, which shows Faithy in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California, at the home of her married daughter Emma (COX) COOK [111]. I haven't found Jordan in the 1880 census, but in January 1881 a divorce notice was published for Jordan and Faithy [112]. About 1884, he married Martha G. _____ , who was born in Connecticut in February 1833 [114]. In 1888 they were living in Los Angeles, California, and Jordan was working as a contractor and builder [113]. They were in Los Angeles in 1900 [114], but Jordan was recorded as a widower in the 1910 census [115], the last record I have found for him. A family record has his death date as 31 May 1910 [135]. I have been unable to locate Faithy Ann after 1880.
Jordan and Faithy had 7 children, only two of which are known to have lived into their 'teens:
131. Edward L. COX born ca June 1851
132. Charles Oscar COX born 12 March 1853
133. William COX born ca June 1856
134. Abner COX born 1 October 1858
135. Mary COX born ca 1862
136. Emma E. COX born ca 1864
137. Martha Ann COX born 25 January 1866
138. Son COX born 12 November 1871
139. Son COX born 14 November 1872

100. William COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 17 February 1831 near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He lived in Canada until 1837, moving then with his family to Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. In 1844, the Coxes moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. In 1849, William traveled overland to the California Gold Rush, almost certainly with the same wagon train as his WATERS and McCULLY cousins, and his brother-in-law Edward FORD [42]. William remained in California until at least late 1851 [43]. He may have briefly returned to Iowa with Edward FORD, then started back to California in March 1852 with Edward, Edward's family, and William's brother Jordan COX and his family [45]. Wherever he was from late 1851 through 1852, he was in El Dorado County, California, in March 1853, gold mining "about 20 miles from" Mud Springs [124]. In April or May 1853 he left El Dorado County, headed for Oregon, but only got as far as San Francisco. He worked for awhile in the Napa Valley north of San Francisco, but returned to Mud Springs in June 1853, almost penniless [125, 126]. There he began mining again, and working with his brother Jordan COX on his ranch, and stayed in the area until some time after January 1854 [127]. By October 1854 he was at Bucksport (now part of Eureka), Humboldt County, where he was building a house [128]. By February 1856, he had moved north to Oregon [129], being at Kerbyville, Josephine County, Oregon in March 1858 [130], and buying land in Josephine County in January 1859 [131]. He sold land in Josephine County in November 1860 and January 1861 [132]; however, he may not have been there in person at that time, as the 3 July 1860 Federal census recorded him farther north in Oregon at Siuslaw, Lane County [133].
I haven't been able to place William COX at any specific locality between 1860 and 1870. Presumably he spent time in Josephine County, Lane County, or Douglas County, Oregon, perhaps all three. By 1870 he was at Gardiner City, Douglas County, Oregon, with a wife and three children. It appears he married ca 1863 to Mary _____, who was born ca 1846 in Illinois [134]. Mary died between 1870 and 1873, presumably at Gardiner City, and William's sister Rebecca COX came to live with him, presumably to take care of his children [117]. William was working locally through 1873 [136], but then I lose track of him until 1880, when he was living alone in Camas Valley, Douglas County, Oregon [137]. He spent some time in the fall of 1888 in Lassen County, California, with his sister Catherine (COX) (FORD) GORDON, but was back at Riddle, Douglas County, Oregon in January 1889 [138]. I have no further information on him until his death in Douglas County 8 August 1912. He died at Roseburg, Oregon, and is buried in the Soldiers Home Cemetery there [139].
William and Mary COX had three children:
140. Deborah COX born ca 1864
141. Elizabeth COX born ca 1866
142. John Q. COX born ca 1868

101. Rachel COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 15 April 1833 near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She lived in Canada until 1837, moving then with her family to Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. In 1844, they moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. In Henry County, 3 October 1850, she married Ransom DAY [104]. Ransom was born ca 1827 in Logan County, Ohio [144]. His father was reportedly born in Virginia, his mother in Kentucky [145]. I haven't been able to find Ransom in the 1850 Federal census, but one account says he arrived in New London, Henry County, Iowa, ca 1848. He made his living as a carpenter [144, 145].
Rachel and Ransom spent much of their adult lives in southeastern Iowa, although they moved to several different locations. They were in New London, Henry County, until about 1855. They were reportedly in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa, for two years ca 1855-1857. From there, they moved to Augusta, Des Moines County, where they lived ca 1858-1869. About 1869, they moved once more to Marshall, Henry County, Iowa. They were in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas, in 1880, but it's possible their stay there was only three or four years. (A biographical sketch of their son, James Harvey DAY, reported him in Topeka from ca 1879 to 1881.) [144, 145, 146, 147].
I've been unable to account for Ransom DAY after 1880, and assume he died before June 1900, when Rachel was living alone in Mt. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa [148]. Rachel is said to have died in Dillon, Beaverhead County, Montana, 6 October 1902 [135]. I don't know why she would have been there at that time. I have heard that a grandson, Morris Ransom DAY, was living in Dillon about that time, which could explain her presence, but I can't find any DAYs there in the 1900 or 1910 federal censuses.
Rachel and Ransom DAY had seven children:
143. Agora DAY born 1851
144. Andrew J. DAY born 1852
145. James Harvey DAY born 19 January 1855
146. Ella/Ellen DAY born ca 1859
147. George E. DAY born October 1862
148. Elizabeth DAY born ca 1965
149. Julius Grant DAY born July 1868

102. Elizabeth COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on 3 February 1836 or 1837 [22, 153]. She lived in Canada until 1837, moving then with her family to Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. In 1844, they moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. In Henry County, she married on 17 February 1855 Thomas Eleazer STEVENS [22]. Thomas, the son of Thomas STEVENS and Belinda KENNISON, was born in May 1830 in Morgan County, Ohio [153]. Thomas apparently farmed his whole career.
I have been unable to find Elizabeth and Thomas in the 1860 census, but they were apparently in Henry County, Iowa, most (all?) the time from 1855 to 1870. Children were born there ca 1858 and 1862, and they were living in Mt. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa in July 1870 [name recorded in the census as "STEPHENS" - 154]. I lose them again from 1870 to June 1900, at which time they were living at Denton, Lancaster County, Nebraska [155]. Thomas reportedly died in 1908 in Lancaster County [156]; Elizabeth was living in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, in 1910 [38], and died there 24 May 1913 [22].
Elizabeth and Thomas had four children [155], but two apparently died in infancy, and I have been unable to determine their names and birth dates. The two who survived are:
150. Charles Daniel STEVENS born 14 August 1858
151. William T. STEVENS born 8 February 1862
152. STEVENS child.
153. STEVENS child.

103. Mary COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was reportedly born near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 3 November 1836 [22]. However, the 1850 Henry County, Iowa, census, shows her two years younger than her sister Elizabeth, and a year older than her sister Martha [30]. If that was the case, she was probably born in Canada in late 1837 or early 1838, just before her family moved to Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. She lived in Columbiana County with her family until 1844, when they moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. In Henry County, she reportedly married A. J. DAVIS [157], but I can find no record of either one of them after 1850. Mary reportedly died "during the Civil War" [26, 27].

104. Martha COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 2 November 1838 in Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. She lived in Columbiana County with her family until 1844, when they moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. In Henry County, she married Daniel Boone STEVENS on 25 December 1855 in New London, Henry County, Iowa. Daniel was born in Morgan County, Ohio, on 9 June 1829, the son of Thomas STEVENS and Belinda KENNISON [157]. His brothers, Thomas Eleazer STEVENS and Elias STEVENS, married Martha's sisters Elizabeth COX and Hannah COX. Daniel reportedly lived in Morgan County, Ohio, until February 1855, when he moved to Ohio [166].
Martha and Daniel lived in Henry County, Iowa, until ca 1859, when they moved to Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska, where Daniel was a brickmaker [165]. They lived in Nebraska until ca 1867, when they returned to Henry County, Iowa (Mt. Pleasant). They moved back to Nebraska ca 1887, and in 1900 were living in Greenwood, Cass County [167]. In May 1904 they went west to Puyallup, Pierce County, Washington, where Martha died 29 May 1905 [168]. In 1909, Daniel moved to Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington, where he lived with his son Charles STEVENS and Charles' family [169]. He died in Tacoma 11 February 1913 [166]. Both Martha and Daniel are buried in the Woodbine Cemetery, Puyallup [157].
Martha (COX) STEVENS gave birth to five children. They also had one adopted daughter:
154. Julia HOUSTON (adopted) born 8 January 1854
155. William Thomas STEVENS born 20 January 1861
156. Julius Elias STEVENS born 30 October 1862
157. Charles Eleazer STEVENS born 22 November 1864
158. Elizabeth Jane STEVENS born 8 February 1867
159. B. Evaline ("Eva") STEVENS born 15 October 1869
160. Mary Winifred STEVENS born 11 February 1875

105. Julius COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 9 February 1841 in Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. He lived in Columbiana County with his family until 1844, when they moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. He was with his parents in New London, Iowa, in August 1850 [30]. In 1860, he was in Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska, in the household of his sister and brother-in-law, Martha and Daniel Boone STEVENS. He was employed as a laborer [165], probably in the family brick works. He served with the Union Army during the Civil War, enlisting 23 September 1861 with the First Regiment Engineers, Missouri Volunteers. In battle at Lake Providence, Louisiana, his arm was injured and he lost the sight in his left eye. He was mustered out at Chattanooga, Tennessee, on 1 November 1864 [26, 27].
After the WAR, Julius reportedly formed a partnership with his brother-in-law Elias STEVENS, operating brickyards in Nebraska City, Nebraska (ca 1865) and New London, Iowa (ca 1867) [26, 27]. He married 4 November 1873 Hulda BROTZER [211]. Hulda was born 19 March 1857 in Henry County, Iowa, the daughter of Alois ("Lewis" in the censuses) BROTZER and Caroline MOHLE. The Brotzers were living in Wayland, Henry County, Iowa, at the time of their marriage, and Julius and Hulda continued to live there, where Julius farmed [191, 192]. Julius died at Wayland 31 May 1910, with Hulda following 21 August 1926 [170].
Julius and Hulda had two children:
161. Elizabeth COX born 11 August 1881
162. Emma COX born 31 August 1885

106. Rebecca J. COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 24 October 1843 in Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. (Her death certificate records her middle name as "June" [199]; I would have thought it was "Jane," considering the common names of that time period. I've never seen either name on any other document.) She lived in Columbiana County with her family until 1844, when they moved to Warrick County, Indiana, then on to Henry County, Iowa in 1846 or 1847. She was living with her parents in New London, Iowa, until after 1870 [30, 31, 171]. In 1873, Rebecca traveled to San Francisco, California, and then to Gardiner City, Douglas County, Oregon, apparently to take care of the children of her brother William COX, after William's wife died [117, 118, 136].
On 5 November 1879, probably in Gardiner City, she married Abraham (sometimes "Abram") H. NOTTAGE [213]. This was likely facilitated by the fact that Abraham's sister, Mahala (NOTTAGE) ESLICK, was living next door to Rebecca's brother William COX in 1870 [134], and was probably still there when Rebecca lived with William beginning in 1873. Abraham, the son of John NOTTAGE and Mahala NASON, was born in Somerset County, Maine in July 1839. I have not been able to specifically locate him from 1850, when he was with his parents in Athens, Somerset County, Maine [172] until July 1870 when he was with his brother-in-law and sister Martin Van Buren LEACH and Rebecca Janette (NOTTAGE) LEACH at Forks of the Willamette, Lane County, Oregon (identified in the census as "Henry" NOTTAGE) [173]. Apparently, he was constantly on the move during that 20-year period. According to Abraham's obituary, his father moved the family to Wisconsin when Abraham was 12 years old (ca 1851), then to Illinois, and then to Iowa. Abraham is said to have traveled from Iowa to Minnesota, returning to move again from Iowa to Missouri, then to Colorado, and finally back to Iowa, where the family lived until 1882 [213]. We haven't found corroborative evidence for all of this, and there is one definite error and some other inaccuracies in the chronology, but the first part rings true. Abraham's mother, Mahala (NASON) NOTTAGE died in Maine 8 November 1850; his father John NOTTAGE married 2nd in Maine on 10 March 1851 Mary Jane Poland GUELPHER. Two children of John and Mary Jane were reportedly born in Iowa (unknown location, so far) in September 1854 and October 1858 [174]. This leaves a three and one-half year period from 1851 to 1854 when the family could have lived in Wisconsin and Illinois. Abraham's father, his second wife, and four younger children were back in Maine by 1860 [214], but Abraham and two sisters were not in the 1860 John NOTTAGE household. It seems reasonable that John's older children by his first wife did not return to Maine with him, instead doing some of the wandering noted in Abraham's obituary. However, the obituary is incorrect in stating that the Nottages lived in Iowa until 1882, because we know that Abraham and his two sisters were in Oregon by 1870 [134, 173]. I suspect the reference to living in Iowa until 1882 is a typographic error, but could be mistaken memory.
Rebecca NOTTAGE reportedly came to Oregon on a wagon train from Iowa in 1862, the same one with which her future husband Martin LEACH was traveling. They are said to have met on the wagon train [215], then married in Wasco County, Oregon 7 November 1862, after the wagon train arrived there. They lived in Umatilla County for at several years before moving west to Multnomah, Marion, Linn, Lane, and eventually (by 1880) to the Pacific coastline at Gardiner, Douglas County [174]. Abraham NOTTAGE's travels as related in his obituary support his going west at the same time as his sister, and probably staying with her and her family most of the time from 1862 to 1880. He is said to have come first to the "Grande Rounde country" (the Grande Ronde Valley just southeast of Umatilla County), then to a farm on the Umatilla River. He later was at The Dalles (Wasco County), Canyon City (Douglas County), and the Umpqua River (Gardiner City) [213].
Abraham and Rebecca were living in Gardiner City in 1880 (name misspelled "Nolage" in the 1880 census) [143]. By 1887 they had moved north (perhaps first to Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington [213], and then) to Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington, to become members of the newly-formed utopian community, the Puget Sound Cooperative Colony [175]. Colonists joined by buying shares in the venture, or by purchasing interest in one or more town lots, the prices of which ranged from $20 to $200 [196]. I don't know how Abraham and Rebecca bought into the Colony. An 1890 list of "Port Angeles Reserve Jumpers" identified Abram H. Nottage as holding Certificate 497, for Lots 17 and 18, Block 191, Port Angeles, but I don't know if that is where they were living before 1890 [197, 210]. The Colony had pretty much disbanded by 1890, although it hung on as a legal entity until 1904 [196], so they may never have officially acquired Colony property. They were living at Port Angeles in May 1889 [176] and in 1896, when Abraham was employed as a janitor at the Port Angeles Opera House [198]. Rebecca died in Port Angeles 23 December 1898 [199], and is buried in Ocean View Cemetery, Port Angeles [200]. Abraham appears as a widower in the June 1900 Federal census of Port Angeles [177]. Apparently he moved to Oregon shortly after the census in 1900, because he reportedly re-married in Lane County, Oregon in June 1901 (see below). For the marriage date is correct, he must have been visiting Port Angeles 10 August 1901, when the Clallam County Superior Court appointed him administrator of Rebecca's estate (which, according to the Court, amounted to "nothing") [201].
Reportedly, Abraham NOTTAGE was a member of the "Infidel Club" in Port Angeles, an organization whose aims included keeping all religious activities out of the Port Angeles area [178]. It's possible that there was no actual "club." When the Methodist preacher W. R. Warren visited Port Angeles in 1890 and found that an "efficiently organized" "infidel organization was functioning" under the presidency of "Dr. Lewis," I think he was talking about the Cooperative Colony, itself [202]. Dr. Freeborn S. Lewis and his daughter Minerva E. Troy, were leaders in the Colony, which was strongly against organized religion. As described in "Utopias on Puget Sound:" "Skeptics viewed the colony as a haven for agnostics, atheists, and freethinkers. Although no religion was established, there was a willingness to provide worship and religious opportunity in a nonsectarian atmosphere. 'In the matter of conscience, belief of religion,' stated the Declaration of Principles, 'such liberality of sentiment should prevail that the private religious opinion of each should be respected by all.' Halls would be open for discussions of all creeds, but regular clergy and church establishments were prohibited" [196].
Abraham NOTTAGE can claim a small bit of fame because of the religious tension in early Port Angeles. The Methodist preacher W. R. Warren stayed at the Nottage home in September 1890, "as rooming accommodations were rather slim." Abraham and Rebecca provided a bed and breakfast, but were visibly hostile to him. Despite the animosity, he decided to pray with them. Warren describes the acceptance of Christianity by Abraham as instantaneous: "He went out among his infidel friends with a halo on his face and told them of Christ's power to save--others were influenced by his testimony. The little church was built and he and his wife joined. The conversion of Mr. Nottage started the ball to rolling for Christ, and the M. E. (Methodist Episcopal) Church" [202].
Some time after June 1900, Abraham NOTTAGE returned to Oregon, and on 5 June 1901 at Florence, Lane County, married 2nd Prudence Ann (HOLT) SAFLEY [179, 213]. (Note: the wedding date is as given in Abraham's obituary; I haven't found the marriage record yet.). Prudence HOLT was born January 1850 in Tennessee [203]. She married 20 February 1866 in Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee, Thomas F. SAFLEY, who was born ca 1845 in either North Carolina or Tennessee (census information does not agree on birthplace) [203, 204, 205]. The SAFLEYS lived in Tennessee until ca 1870; lived in Arkansas for a time; and were in Oregon by 1874. They arrived in the Florence area of Lane County in June 1879, and in 1880 they were living in a house they built on the North Fork of the Siuslaw River at Richardson, Lane County, Oregon [204, 216]. Thomas deserted the family some time between 1882 and 1900, and there appear to be no more local records of him [217]. Prudence and her six living children (she had borne eight) continued to reside in the Florence area, where she ran the Florence Hotel [217]. After she married Abraham NOTTAGE, they moved back to the Safley homestead on the North Fork of the Siuslaw River. Prudence died 20 March 1910; she was 61 years old [206].
On 21 May 1911, Abraham NOTTAGE married a third time, at Gardiner, Douglas County, Oregon 21 May 1911, to Mrs. Telitha TOWNSEND, widow of Henry TOWNSEND, who died between 1900 and 1910. I haven't yet determined her maiden name. She was born November 1850 in Illinois. In 1910, she and two of her children had a dairy farm at Gardiner [207, 213, 218, 219]. The marriage apparently did not last long, as Abraham's death certificate identifies him as divorced [208]. I haven't found records of Telitha after 1911.
Abraham NOTTAGE died at Florence, Lane County, Oregon, 23 December 1915, at age 76. He was buried at the Masonic Cemetery at Florence. He had been stricken with paralysis on 1 January 1915, and had spent his final year in bed, at the home of his grand step-son John CASTELLO [208, 213].
Neither Rebecca COX and Abraham, nor Abraham and Prudence (HOLT) SAFLEY appear to have had children. A history of Clallam County, Washington, listed Abraham and Rebecca as Port Angeles residents in 1887, and included a son "John" [209], but I have never found any record of a Nottage son. Perhaps it was John CASTELLO, the "grand step-son" he lived with his final year. I haven't been able to determine who are the parents of this John CASTELLO. Both Prudence SAFLEY and Telitha TOWNSEND had children by their previous marriages who might have been considered step-children, but none of them appear to have been married to a CASTELLO. The best possibility (if grand step-son is the proper label for John) is that he is the son of Dora COX, a daughter of Rebecca COX born before her marriage to Abraham NOTTAGE (father's name unknown).
Child of Rebecca COX and unidentified father:
163. Dora COX born ca 1868

107. Hannah Keturah COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 2 November 1847 at New London, Henry County, Iowa. She married 28 November 1865 to Elias STEVENS, brother of Daniel Boone STEVENS and Thomas Eleazer STEVENS, who married Hannah's sisters Martha and Elizabeth. Elias was born in Morgan County, Ohio, ca 1835, the son of Thomas STEVENS and Belinda KENNISON [157]. In June 1860 he was in Sidney, Fremont County, Iowa, working as a brickmaker [180]. He was a Union Army private during the Civil War, serving in Company A of the 4th Iowa Cavalry [27]; I don't know any details of his enlistment.
Hannah reportedly died 19 November 1870, perhaps in Clarinda, Page County, Iowa [157]. Elias may have married again, to Laurilla _____, in 1871[157], although the record is confusing. He died 28 May 1872, and is buried in New London, Henry County, Iowa [20, 181]. Hannah and Elias had two daughters:
164. Addah E. STEVENS born 30 October 1865
165. Laura STEVENS born April 1868

108. Amy COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1850 Henry County, Iowa. She appeared in the William and Elizabeth COX household in July 1860 [31], but I was unable to account for her after that date.

109. Anna COX [William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1853 Henry County, Iowa. She appeared in the William and Elizabeth COX household in July 1860 [31], but not in the 1870 census. I was unable to account for her after 1860.

110. Mary E. COX [Ambrose-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1864 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan.

111. Benjamin J. COX [Ambrose-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1866 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan.

112. Adelia M. COX [Ambrose-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1868 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan.

113. Lydia L. COX [Ambrose-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1870 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan.

114. Rosa B. COX [Ambrose-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1872 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan.

115. Alma L. COX [Benjamin-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca. 1861 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan

116. Arvilla/Arilla A. COX [Benjamin-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 4 April 1865 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan; died 19 September 1943 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan, and buried in the Iden Cemetery there [15].

117. Frank J. COX [Benjamin-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1872 Johnstown, Barry County, Michigan.

***********************************
EIGHTH GENERATION

118. Mary WATERS [Nancy-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 1850 New London, Henry County, Iowa. She is shown in her parents' house in New London in 1850 and 1860 [30, 31], but is not with them in Nebraska in 1870. It's likely she married in the late 1860s, either in Iowa or Nebraska, but I haven't found a record, yet.

119. George WATERS [Nancy-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] is buried in the Burge Cemetery in New London, Iowa [20]. No birth or death dates are given. George is not recorded in any of the Federal censuses, so he either was born and died in 1849 or 1850; or (most likely, considering the 6-year gap between his brother and sister) he was born and died between the 1850 and 1860 censuses; or he was born after the 1860 census, but died before the 1870 census.

120. William S. WATERS [Nancy-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born in June 1856 in New London, Henry County, Iowa, moved with his parents to Nebraska some time between 1860 and 1870, and lived the rest of his life in eastern Nebraska. At the time of the 1870 census, he lived with his parents at Elmwood, Cass County, Nebraska [32]; in 1880 they were at Salt Creek, Cass County, Nebraska [32]. About 1887 he married Lucette ("Lettie") ALTON. Lettie was born in Michigan in February 1870, of parents both born in Indiana. (Her mother, Melvina, was living with them in 1920, at which time she was 75 years old, so born ca 1845. According to the census, Melvina's father was born in Connecticut and her mother in New York [36].)
William and Lettie were in Stove Creek, Cass County, Nebraska in 1900 [37], but by 1910 had moved to Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, where they lived until at least 1930 [36, 38, 39]. William had a variety of jobs, including working in a bank, raising stock, and serving as a bookkeeper for an oil company. William reportedly died in 1931, and Lettie in 1941; both are buried at Elmwood, Cass County, Nebraska [34].
William and Lettie had five children, probably all of them born in Cass County, Nebraska. They were all single and living at home through the 1920 census:
166. Winnifred B. WATERS born February 1888
167. James A. WATERS born June 1889
168. Melvina "Nellie" M. WATERS born July 1893
169. Mary G. WATERS born ca 1897
170. William H. WATERS born August 1899

121. Elizabeth ("Libby") FORD [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1844, probably in Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio [30]. She came west to Mud Springs, El Dorado County, California, with her parents and siblings in 1852. She was in a boarding school near Sacramento, California in 1853 [48], and apparently with her mother in Mud Springs in January 1854 [53] and with her father in Mud Springs in October 1854 [55]. I can find no certain records of her after 1854, but in 1860 there was an Elizabeth FORD living as a domestic in the household of Elias Stone in Shasta Valley, Siskiyou County, California. In the census her birthplace was listed as Iowa, but the age of 16 is correct, and her mother was living in nearby Yreka, California, at that time [52]. However, it is possible she stayed with her father rather than moving north with her mother, and that she was married by 1860.

122. William A. FORD [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1846 New London, Henry County, Iowa [30]. He came west to Mud Springs, El Dorado County, California, with his parents and siblings in 1852. He was in a boarding school near Sacramento, California in 1853 [48], and apparently with his mother in Mud Springs in January 1854 [53], and with his father in Mud Springs in October 1854 [55]. I can find no certain records of him after 1854, but in 1860 there was a William FORD, age 13, born Iowa, living in the household of Isaac Wilson in Natomas, Sacramento County, California. Edward FORD was living in Natomas at that time [50], so it seems likely this William is Edward and Catherine's son.

123. Lucinda FORD [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1848 New London, Henry County, Iowa [30]. She came west to Mud Springs, El Dorado County, California, with her parents and siblings in 1852. She was in Mud Springs with her mother in January 1854 [53]; as she was only about 6 years old at that time, I assume she moved to northern California with her mother (see below), but she does not appear with her mother in the 1860 census. I suspect she is the "Louisa" FORD in Edward FORD's household in 1870 [51]; if so, I don't know where she was in the intervening 16 years.

124. FORD (tentative) [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] . Catherine (COX) FORD may have given birth to a fourth child born in Mud Springs, El Dorado County, ca July 1853. If so, it may have died young [54], as there is no record after that.

125. Lillias/Lily GORDON [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1855 in California (probably Siskiyou County). She was living with her parents at Yreka, Siskiyou County, in 1860 [58], and at Butte, SIskiyou County in 1870 [60]. She married in Big Valley, Lassen County, California, 20 February 187_ (probably 1872), Oliver Beverly SCHOOLING [61].
Oliver Schooling was born in Missouri in 1848, the son of James Perry SCHOOLING (born ca 1817 Kentucky) and Eliza J. BONNER (born ca 1818 Kentucky). With his parents and several siblings, he moved overland to California in 1859. The family farmed and raised sheep and cattle in the Sacramento Valley and in Lake County, California until about 1870, when they moved to Modoc County [66, 67]. After Lily and Oliver were married they lived at Adin, Modoc County, California [68, 69]. Lily died sometime between March 1883 (when their youngest child was born) and 9 June 1900 when Oliver is recorded in the Tehama County, California, census, as a widower [70]. Oliver reportedly left Modoc County for Tehama County in 1889 [66], so she probably died and is buried near Adin, Modoc County. Oliver lived in Tehama County for some time, moved to Colusa County, and then in 1909 moved to Dunnigan, Yolo County, California [66]. In 1920 he was living in Dunnigan with his daughter and son-in-law, Eva and Fred HAMBLET. He was 71 at the time [71]. I don't have a record of his death.
Lily and Oliver had five children:
171. Leonard B. (or C.) SCHOOLING born ca 1874
172. Irvin/Ervin P. SCHOOLING born ca 1876
173. Robert E. SCHOOLING born ca 1877
174. Albert SCHOOLING born September 1878
175. Eva SCHOOLING born March 1883

126. Sarah Helen GORDON [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 1856 (probably Siskiyou County) California. She was living with her parents at Yreka, Siskiyou County, in 1860 [58], and at Butte, SIskiyou County in 1870 [60]. She married in Big Valley, Lassen County, California, about 1878, Laurins/Lawrence C(ashus?) HERRICK .
Laurins was born in May 1849 in Wisconsin (Rock County), where the family had moved about 1844. His parents were Alvin HERRICK (born ca 1799 Massachusetts) and Polina LEFFINGWELL born ca 1803 Massachusetts) [86]. He was with his family in Exira, Audubon County, Iowa, in 1860 [87]. Laurins arrived in Big Valley apparently not long before his marriage [88], but I can find no record of him or his family from 1860 until 1878. It seems likely that he lived in Iowa until ca 1872, then came overland with his brother Augustus HERRICK ca 1873 (see below).
Sarah and Laurins lived in Big Valley until June 1902, when they left with other relatives for Idaho, "where they intend locating" [74]. If they did reach Idaho, their time there was short, for they were living in Washington State by at least 1906 (from the birthdates and places of family members). They were living at Twisp, Okanogan County, Washington, in May 1910 [75]. I have no information on them after that date.
Sarah and Laurins had 11 children, 9 of whom were living in 1910 [75]. I've been able to name 10 of them:
176. Mary P. HERRICK born ca 1879
177. Alma M. HERRICK born ca April 1880
178. Laurins A. HERRICK born October 1883
179. Frederick HERRICK born ca 1885
180. Ross G. HERRICK born ca 1887
181. Nora H. HERRICK born ca 1890
182. Everett HERRICK born 20 September 1892
183. William B. HERRICK born ca 1894
184. Clyde HERRICK born ca 1896

127. Lewis G. GORDON [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1858, probably at Yreka, Siskiyou County, California [58]. He was with his parents at Butte, Siskiyou County, California in August 1870 [60]. In 1880, he was farming at Table Rock, Siskiyou County, California [81]. About 1881, probably in Siskiyou County, he married Ella _____, who was born in California ca 1863. Her parents were both born in Illinois [82]. Lewis and Ella apparently lived in Siskiyou County until at least September 1896 [83], but in June 1900 were in Lassen County, California [79]. In June 1902, they left with other relatives for Idaho, "where they intend locating" [74]. If they did reach Idaho, their time there was short, for they were living in Washington State by at least 1903 (from the birthdates and places of family members). They may have been in Oregon for a few years. They were living at Puyallup, Pierce County, Washington, in June 1910 [75]. I have no information on them after that date
I have only found records of four children for Lewis and Ella, but they cover such a long time period that I suspect there were more:
185. Lena GORDON born ca 1889
186. Charles GORDON born ca 1899
187. Belle GORDON born ca 1903
188. Helen GORDON born ca 1907

128. Esther GORDON [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] appears in the 1860 Siskiyou County, California, census as three months old (i.e., born March 1860) [58], but not in later censuses. Apparently she died young.

129. Martha GORDON [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 26 October 1862 Edgewood, Siskiyou County, California. She was with her parents at at Butte, Siskiyou County, California in August 1870 [60], and later moved with them to Big Valley, Lassen County, California. There she married 22 (21?) February 1879 Augustus Collins HERRICK [85], his second marriage.
Augustus Collins HERRICK was born 16 June 1839 in Massachusetts, the son of Alvin HERRICK (b. Massachusetts ca 1799) and Pauline LEFFINGWELL (b. Massachusetts ca 1804). He had at least five brothers and two sisters. The family lived in Massachusetts until about 1840, apparently lived in New York State for a time around 1842, and had moved to Wisconsin by 1844. In August 1850, they were at Turtle, Rock County, Wisconsin [86]. Some time after 1850 they moved to Iowa, and were at Exira, Audubon County, Iowa, in 1860 [87]. I can find no definite record of him from 1860 until the birth of his eldest son Charles HERRICK in Big Valley February 1874 to a mother born in Iowa [73, 89]. It seems likely that he continued to live in Iowa until at least 1872, married there, came overland to California about 1873, where his first wife died ca 1877, after the birth of their second son ca 1876.
Martha and Augustus lived out their lives at Bieber, Lassen County, she dying there 7 November 1911 [85] and he on 13 June 1922 [88]. They are both buried in the Mountain View Cemetery at Bieber [90].

Augustus HERRICK and his first wife had two sons, both born in Big Valley, Lassen County, California:
189. Charles A. HERRICK born 25 February 1874
190. Alvin HERRICK born ca 1876

Augustus HERRICK and Martha (GORDON) HERRICK had 12 children, 9 of whom were alive in 1910. I can account for 10 of them:
191. Ora Belle HERRICK born April 1880
192. Elisha ("Lash") HERRICK born 16 September 1881
193. Myrtle HERRICK born 10 March 1883
194. Frank HERRICK born ca 1884
195. George HERRICK born ca 1886
196. A son HERRICK born 20 September 1892
197. May HERRICK born ca 1893
198. Lewis/Louis HERRICK born ca 1899
199. Agatha HERRICK born 20 January 1900
200. Melba HERRICK born 20 August 1901

130. Joseph C. GORDON [Catherine-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1865 in Siskiyou County, California [60]. He was living with his parents at Adin, Modoc County, California in 1880 [62]. In June 1900 he was in Lassen County, California, with a wife Louisa (born California ca 1860, apparently married 1st to Mr. MARTIN) and a step-daughter Edie MARTIN (born ca 1888 California) [79]. He was still in the area in November 1901, when he was subpoenaed as a witness in a lynching trial [101], and in January 1902 when he was arrested for allegedly selling whiskey to Indians; the charges were dismissed [102, 103]. I haven't been able to find him in later censuses.

131. Edward L. COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca June 1851 New London, Henry County, Iowa. He crossed the plains to California with his parents in 1852, but died of unknown causes 15 February 1853, at Mud Springs, El Dorado County, California. He was buried at Mud Springs [106].

132. Charles Oscar COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 12 March 1853 Mud Springs, El Dorado County, California [106]. He moved with his parents to Sonoma County, California in winter 1855-56, and was still alive in December 1857 [116], but dead before the 1860 census.

133. William COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca June 1856 Sonoma County, California. He lived with his parents in Sonoma County until April 1873, when he went to Gardiner City, Douglas County, Oregon, to stay with his uncle William COX [117]. He was there until at least October 1873, working as a cook [118]. I have found no record of him after that.

134. Abner COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 1 October 1858 Windsor, Sonoma County, California; died of scarlet fever 17 November 1861 at Windsor [119].

135. Mary COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1862 Windsor, Sonoma County, California; shown in the 1870 census [120], but I can find no later records. She could have married before 1880.

136. Emma E. COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born ca 1864 Windsor, Sonoma County, California [120]. By 1880 she was married to John S. COOK, and living in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California. John was born ca 1854 in California [111]. I haven't been able to find them in later censuses.

137. Martha Ann COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 25 January 1866 Windsor, Sonoma County, California. She died in Windsor 16 August 1873 [121].

138. Son COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 12 November 1871 at Windsor, Sonoma County, California [122]. I have found no further record of him; he apparently died as an infant.

139. Son COX [Jordan-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 14 November 1872 at Windsor, Sonoma County, California [123]. I have found no further record of him; he apparently died as an infant.

140. Deborah COX [William-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1864 in southern Oregon. She was alive in Gardiner City, Douglas County, Oregon in September 1873 [140]. I can find no definite record of her after that date, but in the 1880 census there was a Deborah, wife of John Smith, who might be her [141]. I don't find the Smiths in later censuses.

141. Elizabeth COX [William-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1866 in southern Oregon. I find no definite record of her after the 1870 Gardiner City, Oregon, census [134], and William Cox in April 1873 mentioned only one daughter as being with him on a return trip from California [117]. Elizabeth may have died between 1870 and 1873.

142. John Q. COX [William-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1868 in southern Oregon. He is listed in the 1870 Gardiner City, Oregon, census [134], but is not mentioned by either his father or his aunt Rebecca COX in the several family letters we have written in 1873. He was apparently living with someone else at that time (giving some credence to the idea that "Dara" might be William's daughter Elizabeth), because he was living with Rebecca and her new husband Abraham NOTTAGE in Gardiner City in 1880 [143]. I have found no later records of him.

143. Zora DAY/Lora DAY [Rachel-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born in 1851 in Iowa, probably New London, Henry County. She moved with her parents to Des Moines, Polk County, for two years ca 1855-1857. They moved to Augusta, Des Moines County, Iowa, about 1858, and she was there with her parents in 1860 [146]. On 5 October 1869 in Henry County at the home of T. E. STEVENS, she married William C. LINKINS [211]. William was born ca 1844 in Ohio. In 1880, they were living in Mt. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa, with three children [212]:
200A. Frank R. LINKINS born ca 1875
200B. Winifred LINKINS born ca 1878
200C. Myrtle B. LINKINS born December 1879

144. Andrew J. DAY [Rachel-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born in 1852 in Iowa, probably New London, Henry County. He moved with his parents to Des Moines, Polk County, for two years ca 1855-1857. They moved to Augusta, Des Moines County, Iowa, about 1858, and he was there with his parents in 1860 [146]. In 1870, he was shown in his parent's household in Henry County, Iowa, working as a brickmaker [147]. He married in Iowa ca 1876, to Jane ____ (born ca 1856 in Indiana; father born New York and mother born Indiana) and they had a son, Bird L. DAY, in Iowa ca 1877. They were in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas in 1880, where Andrew was employed as a railroad worker [145]. I haven't been able to trace any of the family beyond 1880.
Their known child:
201. Bird L. DAY born ca 1877.

145. James Harvey DAY [Rachel-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born 19 January 1855 New London, Henry County, Iowa [144]. He moved with his parents to Des Moines, Polk County, for two years ca 1855-1857. They moved to Augusta, Des Moines County, Iowa, about 1858, and he was there with his parents in 1860 [146]. In 1870, he was shown in his parent's household in Mt. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa, working as a brickmaker [147]. He worked in the brickyard there until 1879, except for short periods when he worked at brickyards in Fairfield, Henry County, Iowa, and Wilber, Saline County, Kansas [144].
While at Mt. Pleasant 20 July 1873, he married Elizabeth EDWARDS [211]. Elizabeth was born in Henry County in April 1854, the daughter of Hiram EDWARDS (born in Pennsylvania; her mother was born in Iowa).
In 1879 they moved to Topeka, Shawnee County, Iowa, where James worked through the winter as a carpenter, then was hired by the Southern Pacific Railroad first as a track layer and then as a bridge carpenter. About 1881 they returned to Mt. Pleasant, and resumed his trade as brickmaker. In 1887 he purchased land in Marion Township, Henry County, and also bought the brickyard formerly operated by his brother-in-law Daniel STEPHENS [144]. Some time after 1888, they moved once again, and in June 1900 were in Summerset, Adair County, Iowa, where James continued in the brickmaking trade [149]. I have not traced the family beyond 1900.
James and Elizabeth had eleven children:

146. Ella/Ellen DAY [Rachel-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1859 probably in Augusta, Des Moines County, Iowa. She was with her parents in Henry County, Iowa in July 1870, attending school [146, 147]. She was not with her parents in Topeka, Kansas in 1880, and may have married in Iowa.

147. George E. DAY [Rachel-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born October 1862 probably in Augusta, Des Moines County, Iowa. He was with his parents in Henry County, Iowa in 1870, and in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas in 1880, where he was a brick worker. He likely returned to Henry County, Iowa, with his parents, and ca 1890 he married Ada May ______ (born 1872 in Illinois; both parents born Illinois). They were living in Felix, Grundy County, Iowa from at least June 1900 until at least 1910, with three children [145, 146, 147, 150, 151]:
213. Alden/Leroy DAY born 1891 Iowa.

215. A son born 1910.

148. Elizabeth DAY [Rachel-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born ca 1965 in Iowa (probably Des Moines or Henry county). She was with her parents in Henry County, Iowa in 1870, and in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas in 1880. I have not located her after that date [145, 147].

149. Julius Grant DAY [Rachel-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] was born July 1868 in Iowa (probably Henry County). He was with his parents in Henry County, Iowa in 1870, and in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas in 1880 [145, 147]. He married ca 1892 (probably in Iowa, but possibly in Missouri) Celia _______ (born July 1868 Iowa; father born Ohio, mother born Connecticut). In June 1900 they were living in Fulton, Callaway County, Missouri, and had two children [152]:
216. Walter DAY born August 1893 Missouri.

He married Josephine Bell PARRIOTT 10 September 1879 in Mt. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa [156]. She was born 1 October 1860 in Burlington, Des Moines County [156]. Her parents were born in Virginia [158]. They were living in New London, Henry County, Iowa in 1880, where Charles was farming [name spelled "STEPHENS" in the census - 158]. They moved to Nebraska (Lancaster or Cass county) ca 1882, and Josephine died at Elmwood, Cass County, Nebraska 12 February 1891 [156]. He married 2nd, probably in Cass County, Nebraska, Mina GLENNY, who died in Elmwood, Nebraska 8 June 1898 [156]. By June 1900 he was living in Enid, Garfield County, Oklahoma, working as a carpenter, and married to his 3rd wife Bertha ______ (born April 1868 Ohio; parents both from Ohio) [159]. Bertha apparently died between 1900 and 1910, because in 1910 Charles was in Enid, Oklahoma, married to his 4th wife Ruth J. ____. Ruth was born ca 1872 in Indiana; her father was from Pennsylvania, and her mother from Indiana. She had been married twice before, and had had four children, three of whom were still living [160]. By 1920 they had moved to Muskogee, Muskogee County, Oklahoma, and were still there in 1930 [161, 162]. Charles reportedly died 26 January 1936 in Enid, Garfield County, Oklahoma [156]. I did not determine when Ruth died.
Charles and Josephine reportedly had four children:

He studied law at Clarinda, Iowa, and was admitted to the Nebraska Bar at Lincoln in 1886 [185]. About 1886 he married Medora M. ______ (born November 1866 Iowa; father born Pennsylvania, and mother born Mississippi) [163]. William was elected justice of the peace in 1905, and served at least five consecutive terms [185].By 1910 he and Medora had divorced. Both were living in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, William with his mother Elizabeth STEVENS [38]. On 4 January 1911 he married 2nd Cleona Blanche RUSSELL (born ca 1893 Nebraska; father born Iowa, and mother born Nebraska) [36, 185]. Blanche died before 1930, at which time William was still practicing law in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska [39]. He reportedly died in Nebraska 2 July 1935 [156].
William had one child with Medora:
224. Helen STEVENS born August 1891

William had one child with Blanche:
225. William Thomas STEVENS Jr. born 17 October 1914

154. Julia HOUSTON, adopted daughter of Daniel B. and Martha (COX) STEVENS, was born 8 January 1854, probably in Henry County, Iowa. About 1859, she moved with her adoptive parents from Henry County to Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska [157, 165]. They lived in Nebraska until ca 1867, when they returned to Henry County, Iowa (Mt. Pleasant). While in Henry County ca 1876, Julia married John William ARMSTRONG. John was born in Iowa November 1855; his parents had both been born in Virginia [182]. They farmed in Iowa until fall 1882, when they moved to Calvert, Nemaha County, where John was postmaster and later worked in the undertaking business [182]. By 1898, they had relocated to Auburn, Nemaha County, Nebraska, where John owned a hardware store [182, 183]. He served in the Nebraska Legislature representing Nemaha County in 1898, 1900, 1907 and 1921, including serving as House Speaker pro tem in 1900 [183]. They were still living in Auburn, Nebraska, in October 1932, when Julia died of a heart attack in Milwaukie, Wisconsin, while at a convention with her husband [184]. I don't have any later information on John.
Julia and John had four children:
226. Eva ARMSTRONG born ca 1878
227. William Lester ARMSTRONG born January 1880
228. Laura Elizabeth ARMSTRONG born 1883

156. Julius Elias STEVENS [Martha-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1]
born 30 October 1862 Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska. He lived with his parents in Nebraska until ca 1867, when they returned to Henry County, Iowa (Mt. Pleasant). His parents moved back to Nebraska ca 1887, but I am not certain he went with them. On 14 November 1888 he married Katherine LANE, born in Ohio 13 April 1867 [157]. If the census information on the birth of their children is accurate, they were living in Kansas ca 1892, in Nebraska ca 1893, and Kansas ca 1902 [82]. However, I can find no definite information on them until December 1905, when they were living in Puyallup, Pierce County, Washington [168]. They were still in Puyallup in 1910 [82], but had moved to Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington, by February 1913 [166]. Some time after that, they moved to Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, where Katherine died 2 May 1916, and Julius died 16 July 1921 [157].
According to the 1910 census, Katherine gave birth to 6 children, 4 of whom were still living. I only have the names of three of them:
230. Ethel STEVENS born ca 1892
231. Stella STEVENS born ca 1893
232. Meryle STEVENS born ca 1902

157. Charles Eleazer STEVENS [Martha-7, William-6, Jordan-5, Joseph-4, Samuel-3, Henry-2, James-1] born 22 November 1864 Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska. He lived with his parents in Nebraska until ca 1867, when they returned to Henry County, Iowa (Mt. Pleasant). I can't account for him from 1867 until 24 December 1890, when he married Louella BEDFORD in Salina, Saline County, Kansas. Louella was born in Salina 4 October 1873, the daughter of William BEDFORD and Sarah BARDONNAR [157]. They were living in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska from at least 1891 to 1893; in Mount Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa in 1900 [157]; in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington 1905 [168]; in McMillin, Pierce County, Washington 1908 [157]; in Tacoma April 1910 [169]; and in Cashmere, Wenatchee County, Washington in February 1913 [166]. Some time after 1913 they moved to Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, where Charles died 22 December 1944 [157]. Louella died in Glendale, Los Angeles County, California, 14 April 1961 [157].

Pleasant, she married Lyman Cyrus McLAUGHLIN. Lyman was born 23 May 1856 in Dodgeville, Iowa County, Wisconsin, the son of S. B. McLAUGHLIN and Mary LEMON [186]. Lyman was a farmer. They moved to Kansas by February 1888, and were there at least until September 1889. They apparently returned to Iowa ca 1892, but were back in Kansas by February 1897, and living at Pleasant, Harvey County, Kansas in 1900 [187]. By December 1905 they had moved to Puyallup, Pierce County, Washington [168]; were in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington in 1910, where Lyman was employed as a carpenter [169]. They had moved to Glendale, Los Angeles County, California, by 1912, when Lyman died there 7 June 1912 [186]. Elizabeth was living in Tacoma, Washington in February 1913 [166], but later returned to California, where she died in Los Angeles 21 December 1935 [157].

Eva and Charles moved to Nebraska ca 1887, and in 1900 were living in Stove Creek, Cass County [167]. In 1901 they moved to Washington State, and lived at either Puyallup or Tacoma, Pierce County, until July 1909, when they moved to Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California [188]. Charles died there 26 November 1912 [188]. After Charles' death, Eva married 2nd in May 1914 Alfred TIBBITS. She died in Los Angeles 20 April 1942 [157]. I have no information on Alfred Tibbits.
Eva and Charles had three children:

She was still living apart from Rebecca and her new husband Abram/Abraham H. NOTTAGE, in 1980, located in Coquille, Coos County, Oregon, where she was acting as a nurse for the two babies of Edward and Otilla BENDER [194]. I have not been able to locate her after that date.

190. Alvin HERRICK, son of Augustus HERRICK and his first wife, born ca 1876 Big Valley. He married ca 1897 Laura M. SMITH, who died between 1900 and 1910. Apparently they had no children, and he did not remarry. He was living with his father in Big Valley in 1920 [73, 79, 93, 94], and still in Big Valley at the time of his father's death in June 1922 [88]. I have no information on him after that date.

Robert FEAKE came to Massachusetts Bay with the Winthrop Fleet 1630. In 1631 or 1632 he married Elizabeth (FONES) WINTHROP, widow of Henry WINTHROP. Robert was admitted freeman to Massachusetts Bay Colony May 1631. From September 1632 to March 1636 he was Lieutenant to Captain Patrick, chief military officer at Watertown, Massachusetts. In 1639-40 he moved to Connecticut. He became mentally unbalanced; spent some time in England, returning to Greenwich, Connecticut before September 1649; died February 1662. Children: Elizabeth, Hannah (1), and John (2).
(1). Hannah FEAKE born probably Watertown, Massachusetts ca 1637; came with mother and siblings to Flushing, New York ca 1649; married 7 May 1656 John BOWNE. John BOWNE was the son of Thomas BOWNE, who came to New England in late 1648 or early 1649 from Matlock, Derbyshire, England. John was born in Matlock in 1629. He came to New England with his father and sister Dorothy BOWNE in1648 or 1649. He returned to England 1650-1651, then came back to Boston May 1651. He moved to Flushing, Long Island, New York. Both John and Hannah became Quakers, and Bowne was jailed in 1662 for harboring Quakers. He refused to pay his fine, and was sent to Holland as a prisoner, but eventually came back to Long Island. In later years, both he and his wife were ardent Quakers, travelling in England and Holland to spread the message. Hannah became ill in the winter of 1677 while on such a trip, and died in London 31 January 1677-8.
John died 20 December 1695, after 2nd marrying Hannah BICKERSTAFF (six children: Sarah, Sarah, John, Thomas, John, and Abigail), and 3rd Mary COCK 26 June 1693 (two children: Amy and Ruth). Children with Hannah FEAKE: John, Elizabeth (a), Mary, Abigail, Hannah, Samuel, Dorothy, and Martha Johannah.

They were farmers and Quakers. Children: John, Hannah (i), Elizabeth (ii), Mary, Sarah, Matthew, Samuel, and Joseph.
i. Hannah PRIAR borm 22 December 1681 Matinecock, New York; married ca 1700 William FROST. William , son of the William FROST first recorded on Long Island, New York in 1664, was born at Matinecock, Long Island, about 1674/5. He died there 29 November 1728, when a beef he was slaughtering fell on him. He was a farmer, and not a Quaker. Their children were William, George, Samuel, John, Benjamin, Rebecca, Isaac (A), Thomas, Hannah and Sarah.

40. A record in the Mormon Church I.G.I files lists Edward Ford's brother Ralph Ford as being born ca 1820 at Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. I haven't found any specific confirmation of this, but the other information in that I.G.I record checks with other records I have found.

41. Edward Ford's brother Ralph Ford married in Ontario, Canada, ca 1841 Lucinda BALDWIN, who was born in "Canada West" (Ontario) ca 1822, daughter of D. S. BALDWIN (b. ca 1779 Connecticut) and Catherine ____ (b. ca 1795 New Brunswick, Canada). They lived in Ontario until about 1849, then moved to Heart Prairie (La Grange), Walworth County, Wisconsin. In a letter Ralph wrote to his sister-in-law Catherine Ford 31 March 1850, he said: "I received a letter from the Friends in Canada the same day I got yours. They are all well. I expect my father here this spring." In a 28 December 1851 letter to Catherine, he wrote: "My father in law [D. S. Baldwin] has been to Canada this fall and while he was there my father died... He died with but one son to cheer and support him in that trying hour." (These letters were shared with me by Leora Saurteig, Belle Plaine, Iowa.) As Edward Ford was in California in 1851, this would indicate that there was at least one other brother living in Canada. No mention was made of their mother.

42. It appears that most of the people on the "Ikenberry Train" (captained by Samuel Eikenbary of Des Moines County, Iowa) were from Des Moines and Henry counties in Iowa, and that the train was pretty much completed when they left Henry County in the latter part of March 1849. We have no specific record of what route this party took to St. Joseph, Missouri, but they likely followed closely that route taken by the McCully wagon train in 1852 [the leaders of which had "learned" the route as members of the "Ikenberry Train"]: across southern Iowa past present-day Lowell, Hillsboro, Keosaqua, and Seymour; south to Unionville, Missouri; then diagonally southwest across Missouri via present-day Princeton, New Hampton, Gentry, Union Star, Rochester, and Savannah; and into St. Joseph. They may have reached St. Joseph about 13 April [the "beginning" of the trip, according to a John M. Waters account,]. According to David McCully, they crossed the Missouri River 20 April 1849, then proceeded on the traditional Blue River route across Kansas to the Platte River near "New" Fort Kearny, then on up the Platte River. They were at Fort Laramie 26 May [David McCully]. From Fort Laramie, they proceeded over South Pass; may have taken the Sublette Cut-off; passed Fort Hall; probably went via Raft River to the Humboldt River, and down the Humboldt to the Sink; on to the Carson River; and over the Sierra Nevada to Hangtown/Placerville and Coloma, California. We don't yet have a time table beyond Fort Laramie, until 17 July when Joseph W. Berrien reports joining "the company under Captain Eikenbury" just east of the Humboldt Sink [Berrien's journal in Indiana Magazine of History (1960) 56:273-352]. The date of 7 Aug 1849 is used for both "arriving" [presumably at Placerville: John M. Waters], and for actually finding gold [David McCully]. We know that the "Ikenberry Train" split partway across the plains, and so one group reached the goldfields before the other, but the Charles Washburne record of reaching Coloma in October seems impossibly late.

43. The 1850 Federal census for New London, Henry County, Iowa, records Edward Ford as being there with his family. However, he is also listed in the October 1850 census of Mud Springs, El Dorado County, California. That he was in California, not Iowa, is confirmed by a 7 May 1850, letter he wrote to his brother Ralph from Mud Springs: "I have not dug any gold for some time. I am now concerned with a public house in the mines and on the road... I am on the old emigrant road and shall remain all summer and next winter." On 15 November 1851, William Cox wrote to his Iowa relatives from Mud Springs: "Edward Ford is well at present and is at the same place. He wants to come home but he cannot yet." (Letters in the collection of Leora Saurteig, Belle Plaine, Iowa)

44. On 30 March 1852, Edward Ford and Jordan Cox wrote notes from near Keokuk, Iowa, to Jordan's father in New London. Jordan's said, in part: "We are about 65 miles from there (New London)... Grain and hay are very scarce. We have a notion of bearing further south and crossing probably at Eddyville. We are in good spirits and good health. Edward F gets along well. He has been very cross though." (Letter from the collection of Leora Saurteig, Belle Plaine, Iowa.)

45. It isn't clear whether or not William COX returned to Iowa with Edward Ford in the winter of 1851-52, then went back West again in 1852. I have no record of him between his letter of 15 November 1853 [43], and one from Jordan Cox to their parents 6 March 1853, in which he notes "Wm. is mining about 20 miles from here." In the same letter he says, "Since things have turned up as they have, I am glad that Will & I came to California." This might mean that they came together in 1852, but could just mean that it was good they were both there. (Letters from the collection of Leora Saurteig, Belle Plaine, Iowa.)

46. The family break-up was described succinctly in a 6 March 1853 letter from Jordan Cox to his parents: "Along fore part of January, Caty & her children came to live with us. I had to build our house larger to make room for us... You must not be troubled on account of Caty having to leave Ford. She was under necessity of leaving him -- she did all in her power to live with him but all was in vain. Ford used Catherine like a dog when he was at home but he was generally at Thomases with Mrs. Thomas or at the gambling houses. He has drank excessively ever since he has been here this time & gambled more or less every day or night. He has spent a great deal money gambling. He has done no work since he got here worth mentioning." (Letter from Leora Saurteig collection, Belle Plaine, Iowa)

47. Jordan Cox wrote to his parents 6 March 1853: "Caty has given up troubling herself about him (Edward Ford) and his actions. She was a perfect skeleton when she came to live with us but she is now quite hearty. She has worked hard ever since we left home on the plains. She was compelled to cook for all of us when she got in. She had to go into that tavern & since they dissolved (presumably she and Edward) she has had to wash & iron & cook for some boarders." Catherine wrote to their parents 23 October 1853: "As you know I am in the land of the living, and am living at Mud Springs making about ten dollars a week which will not more than pay my board and childrens." (Letters in Leora Saurteig collection, Belle Plaine, Iowa)

48. Jordan Cox wrote to his parents 29 June 1853: "Caty & Lucinda are living with us... Wm Ford & Libby are down near the City (Sacramento) going to a boarding school."

49. Jordan Cox wrote to his parents 22 October 1854: "I will say that Caty went off because she wanted to get married to a certain fellow & as she could not without getting a divorce she thought that to go off out of hearing would answer the same purpose, right or wrong." (Letter from Leora Saurteig collection, Belle Plaine, Iowa)

50. U. S. Federal Census 1860 - Natomas, Sacramento County, California. Edward Ford is listed as a laborer, age 45, born England (sic). Also in the household are James THOMAS 55, farmer, born England, and his wife Ann THOMAS, 40, born England. Although the Thomases ages do not agree with those given in the 1850 Mud Springs census (Thomas 49, Ann 36), there seems no question that they are the same couple that Edward was living with and was in a sometime partnership with at Mud Springs. According to Jordan Cox, the Thomases were the reason for Catherine and Edward's marriage breakup. Reading through Jordan's letters home, one wonders if Edward and the Thomases were run out of Mud Springs; from a letter 29 June 1853: "Old Thomas has to while his wife every week regular, sometimes right out in the street. Nobody would take her part if he would kill her. Even Ford, her better half, does not take her part when the old man whips her. The citizens are indignant at such conduct.They are talking & have been talking of attending them but they put it off from one time to another. I am looking for a mob before long to deal out justice & to preserve the name of the town." (Letter in Leora Saurteig collection, Belle Plaine, Iowa)

51. U. S. Federal Census 1870 - Township 4, Gold Run, Placer County, California

52. U. S. Federal Census 1860 - Shasta Valley, Siskiyou County, California

53. Letter from Catherine Ford to her father 25 January 1854: "I have got the children and intend to keep them till I come back to the states." (Leora Saurteig collection, Belle Plaine, Iowa)

54. Catherine left Edward Ford about January 1854. In a cryptic note to his parents 6 March 1853, Jordan Cox wrote that "Caty will be sick in July & she wants to come home before that time if she can." On 29 June 1853, he wrote that "Caty is well but probably she will be sick soon." Anticipating a July "sickness" less than year after she left her husband may have been a coded message that Catherine was pregnant. Other letters suggest that Edward was trying to take custody of their children, and that Catherine was staying away from Edward and letting her brothers Jordan and William deal with him. It may be that she was trying to conceal a pregnancy from him. The only other clue is in a letter from Jordan to his parents 22 October 1854: "You wrote to ask why Caty & Ann went away." Ann is not a name that appears elsewhere in the family record; perhaps it was the baby's name, but perhaps it referred to 6-year old Lucinda, who is otherwise unaccounted for.

55. Jordan Cox wrote to his parents 8 October 1854, "(Edward) Ford has two children at the Mud Springs House." (Leora Saurteig collection, Belle Plaine, Iowa).

56. In the August 1850 Federal Census of Sutton, Caledonia County, Vermont, Robert GORDON, age 18, born in Vermont, was living with Jacob B. GORDON age 32, a farmer born in New Hampshire, and his wife Betsey, age 30, born in Vermont. Also in the household were Lewis GORDON, age 10, born in Vermont, and Hannah GORDON, 51, born in New Hampshire. Jacob B. GORDON was also in Sutton, Vermont, during the 1840 census, as was Isaac GORDON whose household included himself (age 50-59), a male under 5 years, one 5-9 years old, and one in the 10-14 year range. There was also a female in the 15-19 year range, and another between 40 and 49 years old. A World Family Tree Record (Ancestry.com: reported by M. B. Ruggles, from New Hampshire Vital Records; I have not confirmed this) shows an Isaac GORDON born 12 October 1870 Salem, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, the son of Jonathan GORDON and Esther SAUNDERS.
In later censuses, Robert GORDON is shown as born in Vermont, with parents both born in New Hampshire. What I think the above records show is that Robert's parents were Isaac and Hannah (___) GORDON; that his father Isaac died between the 1840 and 1850 censuses; that Jacob B. GORDON and Lewis GORDON were his brothers; and that he had at least one other brother and a sister.

57. Jordan Cox wrote to his parents 8 October 1854: "I have written also concerning Caty which you have likely received by this time. She is likely doing well some place or other -- she went off with a respectable young man & she may yet do well though her connection with him be illegitimate. I have not heard from her since she went away." (Leora Saurteig collection)

The stumbling of one of the horses brought the team to a sudden halt, which resulted in the wagon turning over, and every body being thrown in a heap. Mrs. Gordon received some bruises about the eye and her right arm was badly sprained, and Miss Belle Herrick, who was one of the party, was caught under the wagon and her left knee severely bruised, but neither was seriously injured. The others escaped without a scratch. It was a lucky escape all around, for Lou says he was thrown sixty feet, and it is a miracle that he was not injured. He brought the folks back and will take a new start in a few days, but he says it will not be on a Friday."

210. According to the City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan, President Abraham Lincoln in 1862 had set aside 3,520 acres of land at Port Angeles for a lighthouse and military reservation. With the establishment of the Colony, and the resulting influx of people, land for building was becoming scarce: "By 1890, the City population had soared to over 3,000 people, and the Government Reserve established 28 years earlier had become a bottleneck to progress, completely restricting further development of the City since it could not be legally homesteaded. The result was a 'land rush' onto that federal property as citizens took matters into their own hands as 'Reserve Jumpers' that 4th of July, moving en masse onto the reserve, platting lots, and establishing homesteads. Eventually, forced to recognize this matter officially, Congress conceded ownership to the squatters and opened the Reserve for sale to the public."

215. An obituary of Martin Van Buren Leach (provided to me by Howard Hudson, source of original unknown) gives a summary of Martin's early travels that is almost identical to that given for Abraham Nottage in his obituary. Martin was born in Ashtabula County, Ohio. "When quite young he came west to Illinois and Minnesota and as far as Denver, afterwards returning to Iowa. In 1862 he crossed the plains to Oregon, the journey from Dallas County, Iowa, to Portland taking just four months." One could speculate that the Leaches and Nottages knew one another before the journey west, and traveled together for several years before heading to Oregon. I haven't been able to find either family in the 1860 census to test that speculation.

220. Federico Magni (Bologna, Italy), who was collecting information on technicians working in American and English cinema, wrote to me 16 July 2007: "Clare RIGGS worked in the motion picture industry, particularly as sound mixer at Warner Bros. Some of the major Warner Bros. productions, such as 'Captain Blood' (1935), 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' (1938), 'Meet John Doe' (1941), 'Arsenic and Old Lace' (1944), and "A Streetcar Named Desire' (1951) have Clare RIGGS (or C. A. RIGGS) billed as sound mixer. In other movies, as 'I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang' (1932), the name was billed as Al RIGGS, that could be an abbreviation for his middle name Alfred."
