Updates and Research.
January 2009

I first
began organizing the small
amount of family history I have in January 2009, and began this
webpage. At the start,
I only had data about my LAWRENCE ancestors as far back as James
Campbell LAWRENCE, my Great Great Grandfather. Nothing else.
I have some data that my
Grandfather, Daniel Lawrence, and his brother
Richard Leslie Lawrence, began gathering in the 1960's, [7] and
[11], and that lists a father
for James Campbell, so that's my
starting place for the Lawrence line.
On my Mom's side, when I
began I only knew back to my Mom's Dad! my Grandfather,
Edwin Kremer, nothing beyond him.. Talada history is better known, and
I got a long list of
Talada family information from my Mom. [2] Sister Kelly and Cousin Jennifer have also
done extensive Talada research over the last few years, which will be
very helpful, and Aunt Donna has also been a huge help with Kremer
information..
thank you all!
My
Mom also has in her posession a KREMER family bible, which she gave to
me,
which
contains many
Kremer family records, which I will use as the
baseline for the start of research on the Kremer line.
The
KREMER family Bible
belonged to my Great Grandparents
(12)
Augustus P. KREMER and
his wife (13) Carrie BRADLEY.
The
bible was published
in 1882.
It
was then passed down
to their children, their son Edwin (my grandfather) and
their daughter Nona. Augustus and his two
children Edwin and Nona all personally recorded a LOT of
family history in this bible! all kinds of names and dates..The
handwritten notes span perhaps 70 years! early 1900's through the
1970's..

First
cemetery visit for this new
Genealogy project of mine..
My Dad and I visited
Glenwood Cemetery in Waverly, NY..my home town..
where the final resting
place for several LAWRENCE,
ACKLES, PERRY, MEADE and DEGROFF ancestors and relatives can be found..
Also went to East Waverly
Cemetery, where some HILL's can be found.
(I now live up in
Rochester, NY, but my parents are still in Waverly..its convenient that
SO many of my ancestors and relatives lived and died locally! ;)
Waverly, Sayre & Athens..many
are easy to find in local cemeteries..eventually I will have to spread
out to farther-flung locations..but for now I have my hands full just
staying within the Valley! (and nearby Spencer, NY.)

LAWRENCE
|
Wow!
thanks to the wonders of the
internet, I have found a LOT of new information about my Lawrence
ancestors! I discovered the amazing webpage of
Paul Edward Lawrence: http://www.lawrencefamhis.com/
Which contains a wealth of
data..at first, I didnt know if my Lawrence
branch connected to any of his, but I now know we are distantly
related! we share a common ancestor, Sir Robert Lawrence, 1371 - 1439. [42]
Sir Robert had 6 Children,
one of which, Thomas Lawrence, (born ca.
1410) [42]
is the ancestor of Paul,
and another son of Sir Robert, the second Sir
Robert, born in 1399, is my ancestor.
Its truly amazing that I
could find a living relative, sharing the same
last name LAWRENCE, and we have to go back 600 years to match up to
common
ancestor!
I have not yet emailed
Paul, but I plan to do soon..as soon as I can
get my Lawrence line fully organized and posted on my webpage, I plan
to email Paul and ask his opinion of my conclusions.

| July 2-3,
2009 |
I visited
Athens, PA and Spencer, NY
cemeteries with my parents, recording a lot of TALADA, TALLADAY, ACKLES
and HUGG ancestors and relatives..
photos of the headstones
will be on the Cemetery page.
My Mom and I visited Old Riverside Cemetery in Athens, where we found
Solomon TALLADAY I, (the first of several Solomon Talliday's) then went
to Tioga Point Cemetery to begin recording
the huge amount of our TALADA-TALLADAY ancestors and relatives there,
and the smaller amount of KREMER ancestors and relatives.
Then my Dad and I drove up to Spencer, NY to visit North Spencer
cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery, where many ACKLES and HUGG relatives
and ancestors are buried.

TALADA

The Big TALADA Research section:
Wow! within days of
uploading my Talada page, and posting it on a few genealogy discussion
forums, I got several very helpful emails from other
Talada researchers! thank you! :)
I have decided I am going
to gather all TALADA email correspondence
together into one giant "source"..(it will be my source [123]..its a
word document I will just keep adding to..) im not going to post the
actual
emails on-line..because I dont know if people want their email
addresses listed for the world to see.. but I do
want to give credit for all the help I am recieving! :) I certainly am
not doing this all on my own! :)
So I do plan to archive
all the emails into my own collection..and probably decades from now
someone in my Talada family will inherit all my sources and notes
..just for History's sake! ;) but for now im simply keeping the notes
in my own "off-line" collection..
Much thanks to:
My Mom.
Sister Kelly.
Cousin Jennifer K.
Cousin Lynne.
Aunt Donna.
Grand Aunt Shirley.
And some new relations I have met because of this genealogy project! :)
These are people I would have never
even known about if not for putting my Talada information
on-line..these are distant-cousins of mine who found my research
on-line,
who are all related
to or
descended from the Talada's in various ways! thanks
for all the great correspondence and information! :)

Tricia Olsen
It is my hope that
with all this
excellent help, we can finally put to rest much of the incorrect data,
and work out a big collection of accurate history for our ancestors!
This new correspondence is
already bringing to light some interesting
facts and theorys..it looks like the TALADA research could get long and
complicated!
(which is fine with me!)
but how to organize it all??
Rather than clutter up my
main TALADA page with a ton of notes, im
going to use this "updates-research" page to keep notes and
theorys..how about this for an idea:
Text
in GREEN will be documented facts..things we know to be true (proven
beyond a reasonable doubt) based
on actual, reliable sources and documents..such as birth or death
records, marriage certificates, etc..
Text
in RED will be facts now known to be untrue..based on those same
reliable documents..(there is a LOT of Talada data on the internet that
is likely wrong..if we can prove some of it is wrong, im going to post
it here..)
Text
is YELLOW is still speculation, mysteries, unknowns..
Questions
I am hoping to eventually answer..
Theory:
Thanks to Don Talada, we have an interesting new idea..
Chloe Couch has been problematic for me.. Right now I have her listed
as my (449)
Great Grandmother X6, the wife of the first Solomon TALLADAY. (Lets
call him "solomon #1" to keep things straight..) I believe Solomon is
my ancestor..and I also
believe he had a son, Solomon #2.
Solomon #1 - 1758 - 1839
Solomon #2 - 1778 - 1866.
The dates for the two Solomon's do not conflict..Solomon #1 would have
been 20 years old when his son was born..a very reasonable age for the
time.
The problem is Solomon #1's wife, Chloe, the presumed mother of Solomon
#2.
I have two birth dates for Chloe (neither with source documentation at
this time)
one says she was born "abt 1790" and the other says "abt 1784" [123]
Neither date is confirmed or based on actual documents..as far as I
know..
since they say "about"..they are probably "best guesses"
but both guesses are a problem for Solomon #2..because Chloe was born
AFTER Solomon #2! she is younger than her presumed son! clearly that
cant be right..
there are several options to explain this:
1. Solomon #2 is not the son of Solomon #1 and Chloe COUCH at all..
(some sources [123] list Solomon #2 as the son of
Henry TALLADAY)
2. Solomon #2 could be the son of Solomon #1 and
Chloe COUCH, but only if we have incorrect data for Chloe's birth
year..(unlikely IMO) (we need to find out where Chloe is buried! see if
she has a headstone..that would confirm her birth year)
3. An option I hadnt even considered until Don T's note..Solomon #2 is
the son of Solomon #1, but is NOT the son of Chloe COUCH! because
Solomon #1
had two wives!
This 3rd theory makes much sense to me..
because Solomon #1 has a lot of children attributed to him, but born
over a long span of time!
But! the true father of Solomon #2 (born 6 Jan 1778,
Green Co, NY) is still
uncertain..
I have seen his father listed as both Solomon #1 and Henry Talladay.
It makes sense that Solomon #2 could be Solomon #1's son, just because
in that case the son would be named after the father, which of course
is very common..
It wouldn't make as much
sense that Solomon #2 was Henry's son, unless its also true that Henry
and Solomon #1 were brothers (which is another unproven theory),
in which case, Solomon #2, son of Henry, could have been named after
his uncle!
I have yet to see
any documentation that proves the father one way or the other,
it appears to be only speculation at this point..
Here are some things we can presume are facts about Solomon #1, based
on the obituary of his daughter Arietta Lucretia [107]
and other sources.
We know Solomon was
born in 1758 and died in 1839. [124]
and that he is
buried in Old Riverside Cemetery, Athens, PA. [124]
He was in the
Revolutionary War, [107] [124] He was in the Sullivan
Campaign of 1779.[107]
And he was one of
many of Sullivan's soldiers to return and settle in the area after the
campaign. [107]
He settled near the
Newtown battlefield and had two daughters, Arietta and Lucretia, who
drowned in the Chemung River. [107]
The date for the birth and death of these
two early daughters is unknown..but it would have been the 1780's or
1790's..after 1779, but before 1810.
Then
his daughter Arietta Lucretia TALLADAY was born, in Athens, in 1810. [107]
There is no mention of a much earlier
possible son, Solomon #2, born in 1778...
this would have been just before the Sullivan Campaign of 1779, when
Solomon #1 was only 20 years old.
There seems to be no doubt that the twins existed..their younger sister
is their namesake..It also seems quite certain that Chloe COUCH can not
be the mother of the twins..she would be far too young. (She could be
the mother of Arietta Lucretia..just barely.) So it seems highly
probable that Solomon had an earlier wife, who would definately be the
mother of the drowned twins, and could also be the mother of Solomon
#2, if he is in fact Solomon #1's son. This makes a very strong case
for the existance of Solomon #1's first wife, who was not Chloe COUCH.
A few items I can
confidantly conclude are *not* correct..
Several sources on the internet claim that Arietta Lucretia TALLADAY
NORTHRUP,
and her husband Samuel NORTHRUP had children..here is one such example:
Arletta Lucrettia
TALLADA and Samuel NORTHRUP had the following children:
i. Ellen NORTHRUP
ii. Emma C. NORTHRUP (born in 1849).
This is incorrect,
based on Arietta Lucretia's very own obituary [107]
Which clearly states
"They never had any
children"
yes, I suppose its
possible obituaries can have errors..but its exteremely unlikely
it would be an error in this case..if you read her whole obituary, its
clear she was very well known and very well loved by the community..if
she had children, her obituary would
have said so! ;) so thats an error we can confidantly fix.
I am going to keep
most of the TALADA research in this section, except for
"The great TALLADAY-TALADA spelling mystery!" section, which for now is
living on the TALADA page..(I hope its not
too confusing having data on two pages..but I felt that ALL the Talada
raw data and discussion doesnt really need to clutter up the main
TALADa page..which is really the purpose this "research and updates"
page..
but the spelling mystery is very Talada-specific, so im keeping that
data on the Talada page..someday I might re-organize things if
necessary, but for now I think this is the easiest way to handle
things..
Update! July 16, 2009.
Thanks to more research that has been done in the recent past, (last
5-10 years) by other Talada family researchers, who have shared the
information with me, (thank you!) I can also
add another bit of factual information, that was previously uncertain..
When I began this page, I had my Great Grandmother X 4 listed as (113)
Polly JONES.
wife of (112) William TALLADAY.
I now know this is incorrect, and she was in fact Polly NORTHRUP.
This is thanks to pension records discovered by Nancy P. , which
prove she was
Polly NORTHRUP:
Nancy P. located two pension records and a death record:
[172] The
first is the pension record for Abbie
TALADA JONES RUGGLES.
Abbie's maiden name
was TALADA, and she was married twice, to Sanford JONES
and to Samuel/Solomon RUGGLES. Abbie was the daughter of William TALADA
and Polly NORTHRUP. In this pension record, Arietta Lucretia NORTHRUP
testifies that Polly NORTHRUP TALADA and her husband, Samuel NORTHRUP,
are brother and sister.
[173] A second pension record is from Polly NORTHRUP TALLADAY herself,
which Polly filed after her son William died in the Civil War. In this
record Polly states
that she married William TALLADAY under her maiden name, Polly NORTHRUP.
[174] And a third
document uncovered by Nancy P., the death record for Abbie RUGGLES,
which states Abbie's parents were William TALADA and Polly NORTHRUP.
So thats three different actual documents,
that clearly state that William TALLADAY
married Polly NORTHRUP! case closed! :)
Fact:
William Talladay, born 1806,
Towanda, PA.
Married Polly NORTHRUP, born 1807, Towanda, PA.
Incorrect: William
TALLADAY married Polly JONES.
I dont have a copy
of the actual documents..if anyone would be willing to scan them I
would appreciate it! I'm curious if Abbie's name is actually spelled
TALADA on them,
and not TALLADAY. (when I receive information, I will share the data
with the spellings as I received them..I wont make spelling corrections
to the raw data.)
If Abbie's maiden name was in fact
spelled TALADA, then perhaps it was William, and not his son Augustus
Solomon, who changed the spelling from TALLADAY to TALADA? (which would
move the "spelling change" up a generation from where I currently have
it.)
Update! July 16, 2009.
I updated my
pedigree charts on the webpage and changed Polly JONES
to Polly NORTHRUP.
Also first uploaded this very page, the updates & research page.
Update, May 26,
2010.
(I had this info on the Talada page originally..I
decieded to move it here)
TALADA unsolved mysteries..and an
attempt to solve them.
Conflicting TALLADAY - TALADA
Internet information!
And man oh man, is there a TON of it!
The internet is an
amazing
and useful thing for Genealogy research, its a fabulous tool!
but it also has a
dark
side..once something incorrect gets recorded somewhere, the internet
allows it to spread exponentially, and the incorrect information ends
up
in hundreds of collections..
The Talladay - Talada
information on-line is the most screwed up, conflicting and confused
bunch of data I have ever
seen..its just a mess..Im sure some of it is correct, but much is also
incorrect..the trick is figuring out which is which! ;)
This section will
attempt
to clear up much of the confusing and conflicting information I have
found on the internet. I
dont yet have all the answers myself! ;) there is a lot I still dont
know. But I hope to use this section to posibly clear up a lot of
mysteries, based on good sources, which will benefit the many of us
doing Talada family research..If you have anything to add, please email
me so we can discuss it! :) (email link is at the bottom of this page..)
Im not claiming to
have all
the answers..I certaintly dont! but with the help of many other
researchers, (who have already been a HUGE help! thank you!) and
locating and sharing good sources, it is my hope this mess can
eventually be all straightened out..
I
have come across quite a bit of confusing and conflicting information
on the internet
concerning these Talladay's, I think because there were so many
"Solomon Talladay's"! (there are at
least three
of them! possibly four! the first Solomon and several of his
descendants..) it seems
some of the Solomon's get easily confused with others.
Also,
according to information on the internet, (always taken with a grain of
salt)
It seems there were two different William Talladay's who each married a
woman named "Polly"!
One William Talladay married a Polly Northrup, and another William
Talladay married a Polly Jones. (or it could be an error, and there was
only one William TALLADAY and
his wife Polly NORTHRUP, and Polly JONES could be a mistake for Polly
NORTHRUP's name..see the updates
page for more info.)
There
was also a Polly Talada who married a John Northrup!
Like the many different Solomon's, it seems we also have several
different Polly's in the tree..and it looks like at least four
different Talada's married four
different Northrup's!
which makes all kinds of room for errors in that convoluted mix..
And
yet more possibly incorrect internet data..I came across one or two
on-line family trees of people who believe they might be a
descendent
of Arietta
Lucretia (Talada) Northrup, daughter of the first Solomon Talladay, (I
mentioned Arietta
Lucretia
above.) But according to the actual obituary of Arietta
Lucretia [107],
she
and her husband, Samuel Northrop, had
no children! So
if you have Arietta Lucretia TALADA (born 1810, died 1908) and her
husband Samuel
NORTHRUP listed as direct ancestors, there is perhaps something wrong
somewhere in your data..you are probably still a descendent of the
Tallada's, just not Arietta
Lucretia
specifically.
And
some sites say the first Solomon was born in Connecticut, not Holland,
and is the son of a mysterious Henry Talladay..this is also possibly
incorrect..again, im basing this
on
source [107],
the actual printed obituary of Arietta
Lucretia (Talada) Northrup from 1908, which says: "Her father, Solomon
Tallada, was a native of Holland."
To me, a printed obituary is pretty conclusive..So "Henry" remains a
mystery, for now..
hold
on..I did find a reference to a Henry TALLADAY of Wysox, PA. [108]
Is he part of my Talladay line? it remains unknown for now..but based
on the dates, it appears that Henry and Solomon could have been
brothers! "My" Solomon was born in 1758, believed born in Holland. this
is the Solomon that is my ancestor, the Revolutionary war soldier,
buried in Athens, PA. The oldest known patriarch of my
TALLADAY line.
Henry
TALLADAY appears to be an ancestor of the Northrup's of Bradford
County, PA. Henry had a daughter Aletha TALLADAY born in 1775, (Aletha
married James S. Northrup, born 1771) which would place Henry about the
same age as Solomon! unconfirmed that they are brothers, but its
possible...or, they could be unrelated, and their descendents are still
getting mixed up today, because they lived around the same time and
place. (its quite likely they are related however..I just havent worked
out the exact relationships yet)
As
you can see, the internet data on the Talladay's is just a mess!
It is my goal to try to straighten it all out.
I
can't say for certain that my current pedigree chart is 100% correct,
but
it's as correct as I can make it with the
information I currently have..and all the dates make sense (parent
birth dates to children birth dates) so im semi-confidant its correct,
although certain sections are still in doubt (such as exactly how Lewis
& Minnie were related).. corrections are always welcome! Im very
interested in chatting and sharing
information with any other TALADA-TALLADAY researchers out there, and
there
seems to be a lot of us! (as I said..its a BIG family!) 
Im
90% sure all of the above is 80% correct..if anyone can clarify any of
that, or if you have any comments, questions or corrections, please email
me!
But since I dont yet
know
everything that is correct, and what is not, im going to use a
color-key to attempt to keep things straight..(I use this for my own
sanity as well as an attempt at an organizational tool! ;)
Text
in GREEN will be documented facts..things we know to be true (proven
beyond a reasonable doubt) based
on actual, reliable sources and documents..such as birth or death
records, marriage certificates, census records, etc..I will attempt to
only use green if I have a good primary source.
Text
in RED will be facts now known to be untrue..based on those same
reliable documents.
Text
is YELLOW/Orange is still speculation, mysteries, unknowns..
Questions
I am hoping to eventually answer..
(Text in Grey is just
me
rambling ;)
So lets just dive in:
1.
Solomon TALLADAY the 1st. Where was he born?
We have two
conflicting
answers..Holland and Connecticut.
Fact - He was born in March 1758, and
died in February 1839. [500] 
Fact - He was a Revolutionary War
soldier, and served with General Sullivan's campaign in 1779.
[107] [500]
Fact
- He is
buried in Old Riverside Cemetery, Athens, PA. [500]
Fact
- He settled near the
Newtown battlefield and had two daughters, Arietta and Lucretia,
who
drowned in the Chemung River. [107]
Fact - He had at
least three daughters, Arietta, Lucretia, Arietta Lucretia, and a son
who
served in the Civil War. [107]
I
consider a printed obituary a good source. It is possible for an obit
to contain incorrect information, but its quite unlikely. Based on
Arietta Lucretia's obituary [107] t
2. Henry TALLADAY..how is he
related to Solomon I?
Henry is a very uncertain
character..He is listed as an ancestor of the Northrup clan of Bradford
County, PA, which I have no reason to doubt..but his exact position on
the family tree is very unclear.
I have seen Henry & Solomon I's relationship described in three
different ways!
1. Solomon I is Henry's son.
2. Henry is Solomon I's son!
3. Solomon I and Henry were brothers.
Personally I believe theory 3 is the most likely, based on birth date
evidence.
[500] Solomon I was
born in
1758.
Based
on that, it possible they might have been brothers, and it is likely
one was not the father of the other..although I cant yet prove this
definitivetly..
I suspect I am
descended
from Solomon I, but not Henry.
3. An amazing multitude of Polly's
and NORTHRUP's
(Polly being a first name, NORTHRUP being a surname)
The TALLADAY and the NORTHRUP familys
of Bradford county, PA are quite intermixed in the 19th century!
Multiple Talada's married multiple Northrup's..and there is a bizzare
collection of people with the first name "Polly" mixed up in this
business! ;)
[108] Polly
TALLADAY, daughter of Henry TALLADAY, married John NORTHRUP.
(I have no
reason to dount this, although I have no primary sources)

LAWRENCE
|
On
August 16, 2009, my Dad passed away..
unexpected, at the young age of 68.
Eventually I will write a lot about my Dad and his life on the Lawrence
page, when I get to the Family Group Sheet for my Parents..for now, Im
not in the mood to write much, so I will simply post his obituary.
Erin (2 years old) asked "where Grandpa?"
"Grandpa has gone bye-bye..with Haggis"
(Haggis the dog, died about a week before my Dad..
August 2009 was a very sad month.)
I don't know what it was that made me start this Genealogy project in
January 2009..
perhaps it was turning 40? perhaps a nudge from God? (who knew what was
coming, while I didnt).. I dont know..but something made me start this
project just a few months before my Dad died..coincidence? maybe, maybe
not..
I had my Grandfather Lawrence's small amount of Family tree
data packed away for decades, ever since he passed away in 1987..it was
always in the back of my mind, for the last 20 years, to "get going" on
this, but I didn't do
anything with it until this year..Little did I know when I started
asking my Dad about family history, I would only have a few more months
with him..Im glad we got to out to visit the cemeterys together! We
went to the two Waverly cemeterys to research the Lawrence's and
Hill's, and up to Spencer, NY for the Ackles and Hugg's..My Dad was
able to tell me a lot about our ancestors I wouldnt have known
otherwise! and I know he really enjoyed learning a lot about his
ancestors that *he* never knew..things I had turned up in the last few
months, such as our Lawrence history from England.
Moral of this story? If you are thinking about beginning to research
your
own family tree, interview your parents and Grandparents while you
still can! dont wait!
More about my Dad will eventually be posted on my Lawrence
page..
probably later this winter.

KREMER
|
Began
working on the Kremer page!
Concerning our (presumed) ancestor Jacob KREMER, who it is said arrived
on the ship "Palatines", at Philadelphia,
on October 10, 1749..
I have a suspicion that might not be correct. (although it could be)
Im doubtful (about the ships name) because I can find no other
reference to a ship of that
name, or that date, except for that one source [177]
I
am however still confidant that Jacob is Peter's father, based on other
sources.
what is in question is exactly when Jacob arrived in America, on what
ship and what date, and who Jacob's father was.
More good info on Palatinate
immigrant ships can be found here:

and here:

More research to be done.. |

I
added new navigation buttons to the top and bottom of every page..
something I felt was needed for "ease of use" of my genealogy pages..

| October

2009 |
I
added some new information to the main
page, about pedigree charts and such,
and more of a general introduction to "genealogy principals" that I am
attempting to follow.

Uploaded
the KREMER page!, the first of the eight
family pages that is "complete" in the sense that I have uploaded all
the information I currently have on the Kremer line!
(of course its not complete
in the sense that I will always be looking for more information!)
Also I added more photos to the Cemetery
page.

Cousin
Jennifer visited Union Hill Cemetery in Mehoopany, PA, thanks Jen!
This visit was very important, because it confirmed that our Great X3
Grandfather (56) Augustus Solomon TALADA and his wife (57) Clarinda
MOREY were in fact using the spelling TALADA..which is a major clue for
the whole TALLIDAY-TALADA spelling mystery. This helps confirm that it
was very likely Augustus Solomon's father, William, who was probably
the person who first changed the spelling from Talliday to Talada.
Jen's photos will be posted soon on the Cemetery
page.

Did
a second visit to Tioga Point Cemetery in Athens, this time with a
whole bunch of cousins and relatives! Attending
were: Aunt Donna, Cousin Paul Kremer, Cousins Lynne & Keeley, and a
surprise visit by cousin Robin, her husband Bob, and several of their
kids! also my Mom, and myself..about 12 people! it was a nice
group..everyone descended from and interested in the Taladas..(and the
Kremers..some of us are descended from the Kremers, but all of us are
descended from the Taladas) We recorded a lot of stones! several of
which no one had seen before..notably Augustus and Alace Talada,
Lewis's parents, and the elusive Lodeska! who has thrown quite a wrench
in the Talladay-Talada spelling mystery! Lodeska, being Minnie's
mother, I fully expected should have been a Talliday..but she isnt! she
is a TALADA! which was most unexpected, and rather than helping clear
up the spelling mystery, actually ADDS to it! Now it makes little
sense that Minnie is a Talliday..More on this cemetery visit, and all
the ramifications, will be posted soon on the Talada
page, and all the photos will go on the cemetery
page.

While
digging into some data that the Cemetery visit unconvered, I found a
great new source! Source [291]
"THE SPARKSES OF NEW ENGLAND by Thomas F. and Virginia N. Howard."
which is an excellent and highly detailed genealogy of the SPARKS
family.
Our TALADA line ties into the SPARKS line through our ancestor Polly
NORTHRUP, wife of William TALADA. (On the Pedigree charts, follow Lewis
Talada to Northrup then Sparks) Based on this information, I was able
to add a large amount of data for Polly Northrup's ancestors, who of
course are our Talada ancestors as well! I updated Polly's pedigree
charts with the new information..and discovered we have an ancestor who
was accused of being a witch during the Salem Witch Trials of
1692! Martha Sparks, my
Great X9 Grandmorther ,
was jailed for a year, and eventually released. See source [291]
for more information. I plan to dig into Martha's story in more detail,
see if she shows up in any books on the Salem With Trials.
thank you Thomas and Virginia for such a great SPARKS family history!
