Blogging Memories From The Past Hiram Lockwood Revisited

Monday Madness ~ Wading Through the Census Looking for Hiram Lockwood

Wandering through the census reports on www.ancestry.com can be maddening but also very interesting.
Tonight I am searching and printing the census reports on my great great great grandfather Hiram Lockwood. He would be on my mother's side of the family.
I have that he was born about 1804 and that he married Emma Moiser.
They had four children... Ferdinand , Theodore ( John my great great grandfather) Isabelle and Frederic.
The later census reports tell me that he was born in New York and that both of his parents are from Connecuit.
Others believe his parents are John and Anna ( Polly ) Sturgis. I have not found this information as of yet so unproven to me.
I have found the 1820 census of Hillsdale, Columbia, New York a John Lockwood. Listed is 3 males under 10 ,3 males 10 to 16, 1 male 16 to 18, and 1 male 26 to 45.
Females are listed 2 females under 10, 1 females 10 to 16,1 female 16 to 26
and 1 female 26 to 45.That adds up to 11 children.
1840 census has Hiram Lockwood listed Hillsdale, Columbia , New York with 2 males under 5 and 1 male 30 to 40 and 1 male 50 to 60. Females are 1 between 20 and 30.
In the 1840 census 4 names away is a Polly Lockwood listed. Is this the Polly some believe is his mother? Listed under her name is 1 male 10 to 15, a male 15 to 20, and a male 30 to 40. Females listed are 1 at 15 to 20, 1 at 20 to 30, 1 listed 30 to 40 and 1 50 to 60 this would be Polly. This would make her husband having passed away between 1820 and 1840 census?
One interesting point is there is a male in Hiram 's house between 50 to 60 who is this?
So far the 1830 census has no John or Polly. I find 2 females with last name of Lockwood so need to do more searching for these family members. One is a Mary Lockwood and the other is Nancy Lockwood. Maybe Mary is Polly . She is listed between 40 and 50 years old and 8 people in her home.
Tonight is the beginning of my search for Hiram. It is a start and has been an interesting search. Time will tell what else I can find out about him and his parents.

TREASURE THURSDAY ~ ENVELOPE OF FAMILY PHOTOS 70 Years Old ~ A GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST

A small white envelope with photos can be a real family treasures. A way to glimpse at faces from years ago.

This photo was taken in 1941 on the 30th anniversary of my grandma and grandpa Days wedding. It was probably taken in either Mora or Ogalvie Minnesota at my grandparents home.

I see a picture of my mama in her late teens ( back row 2nd from left, next to her is my beloved aunt Daisy and uncle Don. Of course my sweet grandpa and grandma are in the front row on the right hand side.
It looks like grandma Grace is sittinga bit forward and straight so she appears taller than everone else sitting. She is surrounded by her husbands family.

What I can glimps at is a picture of my great grand aunt Grace and her first husband Lloyd.  I remember her but never met him. They are are the left hand side.

 Next to grandma Grace is my grandpa Bill's mother Carrie.  She is small and much older than my minds eye of her. I see a sweet soft gentle face and wish I had known her. I am guessing she was strong and a survivor. She survived the early death of her first husband.  She went on to meet a second man and lived a quiet life by a lake. I am guessing she was very happy in her later years.

I am glimpsing for the first time the face of great grandma Carrie's sister Stella and her husband Harvey. I know nothing about her at this time.

It is interesting to look at pictures that are over 70 years old. To see faces you remember and faces you never met.  To wonder what they talked about and how they felt about what was happening in the world at that time.

I bet the cake was good, my grandma made fantastic cakes. And of course there would of been coffee with cream and sugar. The table would of been set with the company dishes. They would of been placed on a crisp ironed table cloth.

I sure there was laughter and lots of talking about what was happening in their lives and the lives of those not there.

Grandma Grace's mother and step father were dead. Grandpa Bill's father was dead. Grandma Grace's siblings were not there with two having moved recently to Michigan and the others in the twin cities of Minnesota. No matter I am sure they had a good time at the party.

Thanks for stopping by for Treasure Thursday. If you think we may be related I would love to hear from you.

 I have shared this picture at ancestry for other family members to see and have.

Fearless Females Post 2 ~ Photograph

Fearless Females Blog Post: March 2: Photograph
March 2 — Post a photo of one of your female ancestors. Who is in the photo? When was it taken? Why did you select this photo?

This is a photo of my great grandmother Carrie Lockwood Day with her sister in law Anna Day Norton. Anna is my great grand aunt.

This picture would of been taken in Minnesota and some time around 1912 to 1913.
I love this photo, it shows great grandma Carrie in her early 40's. I am not positive but I think that grandma Carrie is on the right hand side. I will be comparing her to other photos to be sure.

I know so little about my great grand aunt Anna at this time. Need to spend some time with the siblings of my ancestors.

Thanks for stopping by for Fearless Female series. I am late but will work at catching up the best I can. Grace

Family Funeral.. Obituary for Emma Moiser Lockwood

I recently found this on http://www.ancestry.com/ thanks to my cousin Nancy. She had been at the historical center and found the obituary of Emma Moiser Lockwood.

Emma Moiser Lockwood

4 March 1820 - 4 October 1900

Mrs. Emma Lockwood, the aged mother of Ferdinand, Fred and

John Lockwood, died at the home of the former, town of Malta

on Thursday last. Mrs. Lockwood was born in Columbia

County, N.Y. March 4th 1820, and has been a resident of this

county since 1868. The funeral occured from her late

residence on Saturday last, and was largely attended by a

sorrowful company of relatives, old neighbors and friends. Rev.

Meske of this city conducted the services and the internment was made at

Otrey Cemetery.

Source: Ortonville, Mn. The Hearld Star v22 (12) Thursday October 11, 1900

Emma was married to Hiram Lockwood 1804 - 1883. She also had a daughter Isabella 1842 - 1922 who was living in Idaho. I find it interesting and sad that she is not listed in the Obit.

I went to http://www.findagrave.com/ and found this cemetery. There is only one name listed so I have requested for some one to try to find her grave and to take a picture of it and her husband if he is there. With winter coming this probably will not happen till snow melts next year.

Thanks for visiting.. hope that you will take a moment and read some of my other postings before leaving... Grace

Wordless Wednesday Almost Linnie Olson Lockwood

I can never be totally Wordless. Today's posting is of Linnie Olson Lockwood. She was the first wife of John Lockwood. John Lockwood was the brother of my great grandmother Carrie Lockwood Day. This would make her my great aunt in law.

Linnie and John had three children Pearl, Ruby and Irving. They divorced sometime 1919 or 1920. The 1920 census has them still living together though they are divorced in marital status. She remarried and so did John . As of now I do not have a death date for her.

Looking at the 1920 census for John's second wife strangely has her divorced but still living with her ex husband and his family. John and second wife did not marry till 1925.

I was able to add this picture to the listing for Linnie at http://www.ancestry.com/. Now other members of her family can see what she looked like. I luckily also had pictures for her son Irving and daughter Pearl. Sadly so many of my pictures are not identified and now all that could of identified them are gone.

The Wonders That Come In The Mail From Distant Cousins

What a wonderful package I received recently in the mail. It was from the distant cousin that found me because of this blog.

It was a copies of information his father had found before his death. This traces this line back to the Mayflower. His father was approved to join the Mayflower society and this cousin as since down the same. How exciting history is and that we are all part of some history somewhere is even more exciting.
That is what is so wonderful about genealogy. It connects us to the past.

At this time we are busy packing to move back to Minnesota from Texas so I have packed up this information for now. Will share more about this line when I get to my new home. Actually I am moving back to my home town. The city ( Duluth ) I grew up in until marrying my hubby #2 and moving to the big city of St. Paul Minnesota.
I am going back to the shores of Lake Superior and am so excited. We are renting a small duplex steps from the beach.

Hope that all of you find distant cousins through your blogs. I just had a distant cousin find me from face book. I have thought of her often over the last 40 years and hope to get an email from her soon.

Finding Distant Cousins Because Of Blogging

How how I love my blog. I started it as away to work on my writing, to express my thoughts and share my treasures. I have several blogs and sometimes I am over whelmed and to not post enough on any of them. But then I get a comment on my family blog that thrills me to no end.

My Lockwood line has been at a brick wall. My fault really since I do not work on it enough. Then comes this comment from a Lockwood family member that we are related.
It happens his descendant George is my John's brother and he is willing to share his information with me.
Here is his email to me with his permission of course.

Grace
A short answer is that John and my great grandfather George Frederick were brothers. George Frederick is buried in Mound Cemetery in Ortonville, Minnesota, about 12 miles south of Clinton where John is buried(we drove up to Clinton and found John's stone). My dad, now deceased, spent 3 years documenting the genealogy of the Lockwood's in America starting with Robert in 1630(Puritans). He and brother, Edmund, came from Suffolk county in England. Another ancestor, John Howland, was a pilgrim on the Mayflower in 1620. A descendant of Howland's, Mary(Polly) Sturges married John Lockwood III(6th generation in America) and Hiram(7th generation) was one of their children. My Dad applied for membership in the "Mayflower Society" and was accepted.

Hiram and Emma are buried in Maple Cemetery in Otrey township. The cemetery was never maintained, a mess of weeds and volunteer trees. Recently, a farmer who owns land next to the cemetery, decided to clean it up as he had good equipment. Hiram's stone is tall and visible, but Emma's stone is probably buried( a lot of dirt blew around in the 30's). I have the deed for Emma's plot( my Dad had in his papers). It appears from information available at the Big stone county museum that very few of the 95 plots(probably 8 to 10) were ever used. With this new interest in Hiram and Emma, my wife put "Hiram Lockwood" in google and found your wonderful blogs. So here we are. I have a lot of documentation that my Dad compiled and would be happy to share it with you.
Fred

So you can imagine how excited I am. I will get more information on the Lockwood's. I know that Hiram has a gravestone I can visit some day. My ancestors came from off the Mayflower.. How cool is that. I have a distant cousin to meet and hug some day.
I am so excited I can hardly stand it.
His great grandfather George and my great great grandfather John were brothers.
So keep blogging away Gracie more good thinks are to come


thanks for visiting my family blog, and Hey to Fred and his wife Nola. Thanks for finding me. Grace

Monday Madness ~ Wading Through the Census Looking for Hiram Lockwood

Wandering through the census reports on www.ancestry.com can be maddening but also very interesting.
Tonight I am searching and printing the census reports on my great great great grandfather Hiram Lockwood. He would be on my mother's side of the family.
I have that he was born about 1804 and that he married Emma Moiser.
They had four children... Ferdinand , Theodore ( John my great great grandfather) Isabelle and Frederic.

Females are listed 2 females under 10, 1 females 10 to 16,1 female 16 to 26
and 1 female 26 to 45.That adds up to 11 children.
1840 census has Hiram Lockwood listed Hillsdale, Columbia , New York with 2 males under 5 and 1 male 30 to 40 and 1 male 50 to 60. Females are 1 between 20 and 30.
In the 1840 census 4 names away is a Polly Lockwood listed. Is this the Polly some believe is his mother? Listed under her name is 1 male 10 to 15, a male 15 to 20, and a male 30 to 40. Females listed are 1 at 15 to 20, 1 at 20 to 30, 1 listed 30 to 40 and 1 50 to 60 this would be Polly. This would make her husband having passed away between 1820 and 1840 census?

Tonight is the beginning of my search for Hiram. It is a start and has been an interesting search. Time will tell what else I can find out about him and his parents.

Rest In Peace Grandpa Lockwood

I spent the weekend working on another family line. The Lockwood family. I received an email from a cousin that some one had posted a picture of John Lockwoods grave stone on http://www.ancestry.com/ . I was so excited. I had never made it to where he lived and died. He was at one end of Minnesota and it felt so far away. Now by the wonders of the internet I can see this gravestone I have wanted to see for more than 10 years.

This is my great great grandfather John Lockwood, my civil war soldier grandfather. I think of him often and wonder what he was like, how the war affected him. I know from reading his military records at the National Archives that it affected his health.

Rest in peace grandpa
John T Lockwood
born Feb 12 1840
died Feb 13 1911

John T Lockwood is buried in the Clinton City Cemetery, Big Stone County, Minnesota
I would think that his wife Betsey Eddington Lockwood is buried next to him but her gravestone was not posted on the Internet. I will be putting in a request for someone to take her picture at http://www.findagrave.com/

I will be sharing more about my grandpa John over the next days.

Who Were My Great Grand Parents Part 2 Carrie Lockwood Day

This a tin type picture of Carrie Lockwood Day Warner and her sister Mae Lockwood taken about 1875

I want to tell you about my great grandmother Carrie Lockwood Day. Sadly I do not have as much information on her as her husband William Albert. My Uncle Don told me that everyone adored her.


Carrie was born to John Lockwood and Betsy Jane Eddington on October 07 1870 in Blue Earth Minnesota.


Carrie married William Albert Day January 09 1889. Nine months and 22 days later my grandfather was born. Seven more children were born over the next years.

Here she is pictured with her husband William A. Day and my grandfather William H. Day. I love this picture so much. How cute is my grandpa Willie?

If you read her husbands history you see he was an entrepreneur. She was not in the lime light, he was. I would guess she held this family together taking care of the children and the home.



This picture was taken probably in late 1913 or early 1914. Pictured is my grandfather William holding his first child my Aunt Daisy who was born January 26, 1913. My great grandma Carrie is sitting on the left and her mother Betsy (Eddington) Lockwood on the right. This was taken some where in Minnesota. I have this picture in a large size framed in an antique gold frame. It hung in my grandparents home and was passed on to me and now hangs in my home in my bedroom.









This is the family about 1917.

My grandfather is pictured 4 from the left back row.

Above grandma Carrie is pictured with her son Fairfax Day in McGregor July 3, 1942, taken at a lake in McGregor.

She remarried some time after William A Day died to George Warner. She lived in McGregor Minnesota till her death on April 2, 1946.
She is buried at a cemetery outside of Sacred Heart Minnesota next to William A Day.
