Wednesday Wednesdays Zion Family Southwest Virginia Colonial Times
Tonight on ancestry I found 3 of my Zion ancestors listed in the Annals of Southwest Virginia.
Date Groom Bride Minister
1789 Nov 3 Zion John 4th great grandfather Lucy MacCormack John Frost
1811 Mar 11 Zion Jacob 4th great uncle Caty Fleenor Charles Pennington
1818 Aug 27 Zion McCormack 3rd great grandfather Mary Gobble David Jesse
I was wondering what the marriage customs would be for my ancestors in colonial America
I found an excerpt from an article by historian Alice Morse Earle in the Journal of American Folklore (April June 1893).
The bride and groom and bridal party walked a little procession to the meeting house on the Sabbath following the marriage. We read in Sewall diary of a Sewall bride thus coming out or walking out bride , as it was called in Newburyport Cotton Mather thought it expedient to thus make public with due dignity the marriage. In some communities the attention of the interested public was further drawn to the new married couple in what seems to us a very comic fashion. On the Sabbath following the wedding, the gaily dressed bride and groom occupied a prominent seat in the gallery of the meeting house , and in the middle of the sermon they rose and slowly turned around to display complacently on every side their wedding finery.
Other customs were just before joining hands the Bridegroom quits the place , who is soon followed by the Brides men and , as it were, dragged back to duty.
Did the bride throw a stocking, was there drinking and dancing after the wedding.
I wish I could travel back in time to see where they married , what they wore and what the customs were for the Zions in colonial Virginia.

Tombstone Tuesday Michael Flinner / Fleenor Washington County Virginia My 4th Great Grand Uncle
Today for Tombstone Tuesday I am sharing about Michael Flinner / Fleenor the brother of 5th great grandfather Gasper ( Casper ) Fleenor making him my 4th great grand uncle
Michael Flinner / Fleenor, son of Johannes Flinner and Anna Minnick, was born November 28, 1760, in Philadelphia, Bucks County, Pennsylvania and died August 03, 1837, in Mongle Springs, Washington County, Virginia.
He married Sarah "Sally" Linder on December 10, 1781, in Three Springs, Washington County, Virginia. She was born on July 08, 1765, in Washington County, Virginia and died July 09, 1853, in Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia. She was the daughter of (George Anton) Anthony Linder and Mary Newland.
Michael is buried in the Fleenor Cemetery #89, Washington County, Virginia. They raised a family of 14 children.
According to researcher Michael Meek: Michael Flinner served in the American Revolution in the western part of Virginia at various times from 1777 to 1780. On March 26, 1833, he applied for a soldiers pension, his soldier certificate was 12609 under the act of June 7, 1832. The pension was granted and he received $51.66 per annum issued May 11, 1833. Buried: Fleenor Cemetery #89, Washington County, VA.
Michael was a Justice of Washington County, VA. on the 19th of June, 1821.
Fleener Cemetery #89. GPS: 36.789117, -82.031173
Michael's stone is no longer actually at the cemetery. The owner had passed away already when we went, however we talked to his son, and according to him, the previous owner had the stone removed due to the amount of people asking to visit the cemetery.

Today is Friday and I am sharing a face from the past.

All are gone but never will be forgotten

Getting To Know My Lovejoy Ancestral Roots Post 1 John Lovejoy
Over the next few weeks I am going to be adding the Lovejoy 's to my family tree. From John coming to America in about 1630 to the present I will travel through the generations.
The following information is from The Lovejoy Genealogy with Biographies and History 1460 - 1930
compiled, written, Edited and Published by Clarence Earle Lovejoy copyrighted 1930.
I bought a copy of this book over 10 years ago and it is full family trees.
I am sure there is new information found since 1930 and I look forward to finding it.
JOHN LOVEJOY of Andover, son of Rowland of England was the common ancestor of most of the Lovejoy families in America and was born in England about 1622. He died in Andover, Massachusetts Nov 7th 1690.
The date of when John Lovejoy immigrated to America has not been determined satisfactorily. Some believe he arrived on April 11th 1630 in the ship " Arabella". On that same ship some believe
that his future father in law traveled. Other's believe that John's future father in law Christopher Osgood and his family came on the boat Mary and John arriving in 1633/4.
Similar differences of opinion exist about the exact date when John Lovejoy settled in Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts.
According to Abbot's History of Andover, the list of the first settlers is recorded on a leaf in the town records and written in ancient hand. It is with out date, but probably was written when most of the settlers were still living, so is considered that it may be correct.
The list follows and is in the order of when they arrived.
Mr Bradstreet
John Osgood ( future father in law)
Joseph Parker
Richard Barker
John Stevens
Nicholas Holt
Benjamin Woodbridge
John Frye
Edmond Faulkner
Robert Barnard
Daniel Peer
Nathan Parker
Henry Jaques
John Aslett
Richard Blake
William Ballard
John Lovejoy my 9th great grandfather
Thomas Poor
George Abbot
John Russ
Andrew Foster
Thomas Chandler
John did not marry until another seven years. How he lived and who he lived with I have no idea.
According to Miss S L Bailey's Historical Sketches of Andover, the third in the list of the first ten marriages in Andover was on Jan 1, 1651, John Lovejoy and Mary Osgood b 17 Mar 1633 or 32 Marlboro, Wilts, England d in Andover July 15, 1675.
They were married at Ipswich, Massachusetts by Rev Mr. Simons.
Children of John and Mary
Mary b April 11 1652 d Andover June 18 1677
Sarah b April 11 1654 d Andover February 22 1706
John b February 9 1655 d Andover July 14 1680
William b April 21 1656 or 57 d Andover July 9 1748
Ann b Dec 21 1659 d Andover Feb 29 1724
Christopher b Mar 1 1661/2 d Andover Mar 17 1736/7
Joseph b Feb 8 1662/3 d Andover June 5 1737
Benjamin b Dec 4th 1664 d 1689 while a soldier at Pemaquid Me
Nathaniel b May 29 1667 d Andover Mar 7 1752
Abigail b Aug 20 1669 d Andover May 2 1747
Deborah b Nov 4 1671
Ebenezer b Jan 22 1673 d Andover May 15 1760
John waited more than a year after the death of Mary Osgood , before he took as his second wife, Hannah Pritchard widow of William Pritchard on February 12, 1676. The marriage was in Andover, Massachusetts .
Hannah out lived John and died August 1 1705 in Andover of a cancer in her throat.
Interesting note is that Hannah and William Pritchard had a daughter Sarah born January 22, 1662. Sarah married her step brother Joseph Lovejoy my 8th great grandfather.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Favorite Photo of Mom Muriel Day
Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - A Favorite Photo of Your Mother
It's Saturday Night,
Time for more Genealogy Fun!!
This photo is of me and my mom probably taken late 1948 or early 1949. I am guessing it was taken after church where I was dedicated to the Lord.
Tonight we are to post one of our favorite photos of our mother. How can I possibly post only one photo. But I will. She is my mom , raised my sister and me and made a home for my dad for all of us.
She was the youngest of 3 living children in the family , having 2 brothers pass away at early age.
She met my father in May 1943 and they married in October of that year. Dad was in the merchant marines during the war so was away from her during their early years.
I was born in 1948 with my sister born in 1950. After that would come two sons , the first passing away at three days old and my brother David being born in 1963.
Mom would get polio in 1952 while we were living in Texas. She was not expected to live but being the fighter she was she remained on this earth until 1998.
There are so many stories about my mother and I have posted some here.
Click on this link and you will be able to read more pictures and stories of my favorite woman my mother

Friday Faces From The Past Who Are These Ancestors Riordan Family Members
Some times I feel like I am just stumbling along and tripping on my ancestor's roots.
Here are three photos from my 2nd great aunt Mary Gallaher photo album. She has thankfully identified these 3 photos , but as of now I do not know how they fit in the family tree.
I have spent the last couple evenings searching ancestry census records and U S City Directories.
First photo identified as Danial Riordan , wife and daughter Photographed in La Crosse Wisconsin
If any of you recognize these people please message me. I know they are related to me through
Mary's mother Johanna Riordan Gallaher. I feel that Perry? is probably Johanna's brother.
