| 23956 | The Hummers of Riverside Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, Ninah Cummer, Wellington cummer. Wellington Cummer. photo credit: The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens The Cummer family already had significant lumber holdings in Michigan & Virginia when Wellington Cummer moved his family, including sons Arthur & Waldo, from Cadillac, Michigan to Florida in 1896. When the men of Cadillac queried why they were moving to Jacksonville, the answer they received was, “to turn boys into men.” One of the Cummer Lumber Company sawmills, circa 1900. In truth, as the pine forests in Michigan became exhausted, the firm found a field for its energies in Florida. Here the business was carried on in the name of the Cummer Lumber Company. Cummer bought up vast tracts of cypress & long leaf pine forest, eventually becoming the largest landowner in the state. To haul lumber & phosphate from Cummer operations in Georgia, the company constructed the Jacksonville & Southernwester Railway, a railroad nearly 100 miles long. Sons Waldo & Arthur formed the Cook-Cummer Steamship Line & built a mill and phosphate shipping facility north of the city that employed 1150 workers in 1906. Michigan architect William Williamson designed this palatial home for Wellington & Ada Cummer, which was built in 1902 at a cost of $25,000. The white & yellow home featured four massive columns, highly detailed portico, & a one-story colonnade wrapping around the Georgian Revival Style structure. There were huge reception rooms & a vast wine cellar. During the Great Fire of 1901, the Cummers opened the third floor of their home to some destitute families that had nowhere else to stay. Cummer died Christmas Day, 1909, & his subsequent funeral was said to have been one of the largest held in the city’s history. Although sons Waldo & Arthur were able businessmen, it was Arthur’s wife, Ninah, who is responsible for the Cummer family’s most lasting legacy. Active in several charitable groups and a leading light of Riverside society, Ninah also was an avid gardener & knowledgeable collector of European treasures, from a 16th century polyptich, to Meissen porcelain, Old Master portraits, Russian icons & snuff boxes of lapis lazuli. When she passed on, Ninah willed that her home, with its stunning gardens & cultural treasures, be turned into a museum. The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, built on the site of the home of Arthur & Ninah Cummer, opened its doors November 10, 1961. The Cummer Museum isn’t the only Cummer legacy still standing. Waldo Cummer’s first home, purchased from Riverside developer Edward Cheney, was moved to its present location in 1911. this charming, elegant & well manner home, now 140 years old, is all that remains of Riverside in its infancy.

Here he spent his young & early manhood coming to Michigan at the age of 25 & settling in Ganges, Allegan Co., where he resided save as his work called him to Saugatuck) until a few months before he died. May 15, 1873 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary J Hamilton & soon thereafter moved to their home in Ganges where they continued to resided until his failing health compelled him last Oct. to give up his fruit farm to which he was greatly attached & to which he had devoted his energies for more than 30 years. After making a round of visits among relatives & friends, in company with Alexander Hamilton & wife, he turned his face toward the Southland, attended by his faithful & loving companion hoping that the balmy air of that favored region might improve his health. The disease, however could not be successfully combated either by medical skill or change of climate. He lingered but a few days in the warm sunshine & under the bright skies of that Southern climate & then wearily fell asleep to open his eyes in the fields elysian. The Paradise of God. Samuel Wanner was a good man of a most kind & sympathetic nature. It hurt him to witness pain or suffering of any kind & would have grieved him still more to have been the cause of grief or pain to others. He was in a word a devoted & faithful follower of the meek & lowly Nazarene & when sickness & death came it found him ready, nay! anxious to depart & be with Christ which is better.

| 23974 | The Murphy Family or Goodmurphy Family came from the southeast corner of Ireland, below Cork, more specifically from the Town of Wexford. Due to the English influence in that area, they were Protestants. According to findings, they were in Ireland, before the time of the Romans. They belonged to the Gentry Landowners and also owned a fleet of boats. Lawrence was a Captain in the Duke of Wellington's Army, and he lost a leg at the Battle of Waterloo. According to Rhoda DeLong Jewell (a descendant through Lawrence's grandson Lawrence), John's mother's last name was Good. In order to join the British Army, you had to be Protestant. Murphy commonly being a Catholic surname, they decided to merge the Good with Murphy to create the surname Goodmurphy. I believe this surname change did not happen until years after being in Canada. Lawrence bought his son John, a commission in the British Army and he acquired the rank of ENSIGN in the 54th Regiment of Foot, a line Regiment under King George III. According to son John in his letter of September 2 of 1822 to the Lieutenant Governor of Canada, Lawrence had his property plundered in the rebellion of May 1798 when the Town of Wexford was raided. Laurence lost his Country House, a vessel, and debts, to a loss amounting to 9000 Pounds. He was awarded damages in the amount of 10,000 Pounds. | MURPHY, LAWRENCE (I31)

| 23978 | The New Milford Cemetery is located on the New Milford School Road, east of the main intersection in New Milford, a few miles south of Rockford, IL. The Rockford Public Library has a catalogue of burial sites in the History and Genealogy section of the library. It is recorded there that Elizabeth's burial place is beside the Freeman family plot in Section B, the eleventh stone in the row. That stone is a small, gray stone, the first one to the south of the Freeman family stone. As of 2005 (and as of 1991, at the time of the first visit) the writing is not legible whatsoever. The photos are included here. The Freeman family stone reads as follows: Rachel Moore Freeman 1805 -1889 Hettie Freeman 1828 -1899 Mary E. Freeman 1841- 1919 To the north of the main stone are two small markers. One says "Mother" and the other says "Sister." It is presumed that "Mother" refers to Rachel Moore Freeman (daughter of Elizabeth Smith Moore) and that "Sister" refers to Hettie Freeman. | SMITH, Elizabeth (I277)

| 23984 | The Ontario Canada Catholic Church Records, Event Year 1866-1880, Place of Worship Alexandria, record that: Donald John McDonald was baptized on Feb 16,1876. He was born on Feb 5,1876 to Dougald McDonald and Mary Cameron. The baptism was performed by Rev. Father John S. O'Connor, Parish Priest at St Finnans Cathedral in Alexandria, Ontario. Dougald McDonald was the son of John McDonald and Isabella McGillis, of 1/7 Caledonia in Parish of Lochiel. Mary Cameron was the daughter of Duncan Cameron and Mary McDonald of 11/3rd Concession Kenyon, Parish of Alexandria. Dougald and Mary were married on May 13,1873 at St Finnans by Father John S. O'Connor. See the 1881 Census for Mary Cameron - 2 sons listed ages 7 and 5 - listed as Cameron not McDonald. Mary is living at her parents farms - her father Duncan is widowed. The Death Notice for Donald John McDonald - born Feb 5 1876 lists parents as Donald John McDonald and Mary Cameron of Gengarry County, Ontario. It is possible that Dougald had a middle name of John as that was his father's name. He also may have gone by Donald in later years. Dougald was alive at the time of the 1871 Census. Still trying to validate where he was subsequent to the birth of his son in 1876. The obituary in the Fort William Daily Times on Saturday Nov 9th,1929 records as follows: "Donald John McDonald, aged 53 years, died at 10 PM last night in St Joseph's Hospital in Port Arthur, after a two week's illness, thought he had been in poor health for a long time.He was born in Glengarry Township, and made his home in McIntyre.

| 23986 | The original family name was Trombauer or or Tromboor or Trumpbour. In Canada it became Trumpour. Paul was the fourth son of Johannes Trumboor and Christine Fiere. His family had settled in Duchess County in the Colony of New York around 1709. Paul was baptized as Paulus in Katisbaan, New York on May 31, 1757. He married Deborah Emery on August 9, 1780. Paul and Deborah had two sons and six daughters. At the time of the American Revolution, Paul and his brother Johannes (or 'Haunts') sided with the British and left for Canada, as part of the United Empire Loyalists emigration of 1779-1781. Paul was an officer in Lieutenant De Lancey's brigade and later came to Adolphustown, Ontario by way of Sorel, Quebec with Peter Van Alstine's group of Associated Loyalists in June 1784. His brother 'Haunts' settled close by in what is now Prince Edward County at Green Point just across the Bay of Quinte from Paul. Arriving almost destitute, as one of the earliest settlers, Paul was entitled to 2000 acres of land. He developed his property quickly and lived by selling horses. Paul played a prominent role in early Adolphustown. He served as a magistrate and as Captain of Militia in the War of 1812, both at Kingston, under the Hon. Richard Cartwright and as a commander of Trumpour's Dragoons, a troop of horse of the 1st Regiment, Lennox Militia. Paul and Deborah's son John married Elizabeth Dorland, the daughter of Loyalist settler John Dorland. Their 2nd son Joseph married Elizabeth's sister Lydia Dorland. Paul died of sickness in 1813 at the age of 65 years. Note: the above biography information from 'St Alban The Martyr UEL Memorial Church' Adolphstown, Ontario. | TRUMPOUR, Paulus (I17226)

| 23994 | The record of James (Eddy) Eaddy was first established in South Carolina about 1753 when he petitioned for a grant of land. This petition is found in Council Journal No. 21, pt. 1, pp. 148-149. "Read the petition of James Edie Humbly setting forth that the petitioner is desirous of settling on the waters of Lynches Creek and having a wife and two children for whom not yet for himself has any land been assigned him, and therefore he humbly prays his Excellency and their honors to order the surveyor general to run out to the petitioner 200 acres of land on the waters of Lynches Creek as aforesaid and that he may have a grant for the same and the petitioner as is duty bound shall ever pray." "Char town the 2d day of Janu. 1753. James Edie. The Petition being considered and the Petitr appearing and swearing to the truth of his said Family Right the prayer thereof was granted and the Depy. Survy. ordered to prepare a warrant and the Surv. General to runout the 200 acres mentioned that_________ a grant may______to the Petitr for the same." In Colonial South Carolina, land was granted under various laws and statutes as decreed by the King of England and/or the Lords Proprietors. Any free person could appear before the Council and petition for a survey to be granted land. The amount of land awarded depended upon a head of family status which at one time was valued at 100 acres for the head of household and 50 acres for all others of the household including slaves. This amount changed periodically depending upon the desire of the government to attract settlers to the colony. After the petition for a survey was submitted, the person appeared before the Council and petitioned for a grant to pass which authorized the surveyor to measure out the land. The Lord's Proprietors were British nobles who were loyal to King Charles, II. of England and assisted him to return from exile and regain his throne. To reward them for their contributions, on March 24, 1663, the King gave them ownership of a large tract of land in the colonies. This was a very large segment of North America running from the Atlantic to the Pacific, lying between 36 degrees north latitude on the north and 31 degrees on the south. In 1665, the charter was amended to raise the north line 30 minutes and extend the south line by two degrees. Their claim, which was called Carolina, then included the part of North America that now includes the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, a small part of Missouri, most of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, the southern half of California, the southern tip of Nevada, the northern part of Florida, and a part of northern Mexico. This huge section of continent was granted entirely to eight men, to be financed by them for their profit, and to rule with the help or interference of any local government as they might permit. The Lords Proprietors were: the Duke of Albemarle, Lord Ashley, Lord Berkeley, Sir William Berkeley, Sir George Carteret, the Earl of Clarendon, Sir John Colleton, and Lord Craven. It was their names which were given to the early counties, districts, and which continue even now as names of counties and places. The most important of these was Lord Ashley (Anthony Ashley Cooper), who laid out the street plan for the new city of Charles Town, South Carolina. His secretary was the philosopher John Locke who wrote the Fundamental Constitution of Carolina. In 1719, the Lords Proprietors gave up their claims to property in the Colony. This probably occurred because they failed to understand the value of their possessions which they found could not be managed well from so great a distance. Arrangements were finally made to return the Colony to the King of England in 1731. The land records were left in great confusion as a result of their withdrawal and lack of control of changes made during the interim. To determine ownership, an act was passed in 1731 called "The Memorials". This required land owners to file a brief statement of their ownership, known as a memorial.
