Re: BRINK

dottiebrink1 — 2012-12-06 03:52:04Z

Yes the video is about the Brink family. My father is supposed to be bringing it to me next weekend. I think I remember something about IL in some of the research my cousin did. I'll have to look at it and I'll let you know. It might have been a stop on the way from PA to Kit Carson CO for my great-great grandfather Elliot. Like I said I'll let you know once I figure it out.

Re: BRINK

Draskcap — 2012-12-06 01:45:25Z

There are no more books available. Laurel kept the last copies for her grandchildren. It is available online though. I hadn't heard of a Brink video. Is that of your family? My grandfather was born in Benton, Columbia Co., PA. and eventually settled in Lee Co., IL. in 1885. He had an uncle Isaiah who had already been there for about 30 years.
I wish I could remember why I was looking for your Brink's.

Re: BRINK

dottiebrink1 — 2012-12-05 19:05:26Z

Yes! Funny you mention that book... my dad was telling me about it. There's also a video about the Brinks. He is supposed to be bringing it to me next week. If you need any more info about Elliot or Charles let me know. We have a lot of interesting information. Do you know where I can get a copy of that book?

Re: BRINK

Draskcap — 2012-12-05 18:49:35Z

Oh my goodness, that was so long ago that I don't remember why I was looking for the Brink's mentioned in the post. Possibly someone wrote to me asking if they were in Laurel Powell's "A Brink Book" which I have. The book is about the Brink family that came from Holland in 1661 and settled in New Netherlands. They were Dutch of course. Does it sound familiar?

Re: BRINK

dottiebrink1 — 2012-12-05 03:12:29Z

Charles Wade Brink is my great grandfather. Elliot came from a family of German settlers from Penn. My cousin actually has a ton of information about him.

Re: Spencer Family of Tama County

jakubow10 — 2012-08-09 08:42:46Z

Viola Hatfield did marry Ellis Spencer and had a son Charles Burton Spencer, you see, they married in 1876, this Charles was born in 1877, the couple split, Viola went home to Mother & Father, she did not remarry until early 1900 to Wm Cory, their deaths are recorded. The marriage of her son is recorded in Tama County, he was twice married, he ends up in Minnesota, see draft records of 1918. The children of his two marriages give Viola grand children. Ellis married a Dora Knox, lives in Detroit and is very properous. This Spencer line goes way back into British History. There is a different line of Spencers in Jefferson & Lewis Counties, New York State, they may be related but try to make the connection, many trees carry bad information, why do they not prove their data with authentic records? Regards Felix.

Re: Foley - O'Connor (Connor or Conner) from Tama Co., IA

Reply No. 2: Correction: Honorah O'Connor was sister of Johanna O'Connor Mulligan, (my great grandmother) She was known as Nora and was married to (John, I think) Foley. Catherine Mary was one of their many childen.
I have certain pieces of info, pictures, obits, etc. on the family at home. Would be happy indeed to share our info. Yes, I have seen the McLean name but never knew who it was referring to. Don't the Enrights come from this family line? Mom died when I was very young and I didn't have anyone to ask. FYI Nora had 10 siblings; 3 of the girls were Nuns. Sister Clare started a Hospital. I have a 1904 statue of the BVM Sister Hortulana gave my grandmother, Sarah Agnes (Sadie) Mulligan. Johanna & Frank had about 10 children. I could go on and on..... I do hope you will want to get in touch, as I am very interested in contacting you,... Are you living in Iowa? Spartanburg, SC here... Email here is jbeckholt@yahoo.com ..... Regards to all, Jane Beckholt

Re: Foley - O'Connor (Connor or Conner) from Tama Co., IA

Yes, I'm still interested. Let's get in touch. I've been away from the Library Computers for about a year, but want to get into the Ancestry.com again..... I know of the Foley's. My great grandparents were Frank & Joanna Mulligans of Tama & Eagle Grove, IA. Granddaughter, Mary G. Mulligan-Perrin was my mom. If memory is right, Frank Mulligan's sister married a Foley. Looks like we are distant cousins of some sort.???? I have a good bit of information. So, please be patient with me until we get connected. Library Computers can only be used 1 hour a day, but I'll try to come regularly. Look forward to hearing from you. Jane Beckholt, Spartanburg, SC

LIDA M. SETH, 82

TOLEDO Lida May Seth, 82, a resident of Grandview Acres in Toledo, died Nov. 13, 2006, at the center following a lengthy illness. Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Thursday at First Presbyterian Church in Toledo. Interment will follow at Woodlawn Cemetery in Toledo. Visitation will be Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Kruse-Phillips Funeral Home in Tama. A memorial fund has been established.
Lida was born on Nov. 1, 1924, in Eveleth, Minn., the daughter of Albert and Lucy May (Osborn) Peterson. She graduated from high school in Mountain Iron, Minn., and junior college in Virginia, Minn. She then graduated from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis with a degree in Home Economics. During the war Lida went with a group of girls to California to work in an aircraft factory that was building B12s. Lida left Minnesota to teach home economics at Warren Wilson High School and Junior College in Swannanoa, N.C., which was at the time a mission school under the Presbyterian Board of National Missions. It was there that she met her future husband LaVern Seth. LaVern and Lida were married on July 26, 1952, in Virginia, Minn. After they were married they lived in Dubuque for about a year and a half before moving to Clarksville, Iowa, where LaVern was a student pastor. Lida and LaVern left Clarksville to go as missionaries to Brazil. Arriving in Brazil they spent a year studying Portuguese in the language school in Campinas and the rest of their five-year term in the interior village of Sito do Mato. Returning to the United States in 1960, they accepted a call to serve as missionaries to the Meskwaki Settlement near Tama. They lived at the mission house at the edge of the settlement until 1975. Since that time they continued to live in Tama and Toledo. Survivors include her husband LaVern; five sons Floyd (Shelly) Seth of Chelsea, Daniel (Jyotsna) Seth of Canyon, Texas, David (Susan) Seth of Coffeen, Ill., Timothy Seth of Waterloo and Paul (Theresa) Seth of Fairview, N.C.; 10 grandchildren Eric (Honda) Seth, Rebecca Seth, Michael Seth, Nathaniel Seth, Jennifer Seth, Mike (Tracy) Sieck, Brad Sieck and Kimberly Sieck; five great-grandchildren Korbin Seth, Isabel Seth, Nathan Clemann, Brayden Clemann and Abigail Sieck; a sister Mary (William) Clayborn of Denver, Colo.; and two sisters-in-law Doris Peterson and Evelyn Foster. Lida was preceded in death by her parents and a brother Thomas Peterson.

John Mock and Anna Whiteley

walshdw1 — 2012-01-15 16:47:19Z

John N. Mock (1857-1938) and Anna M [Whiteley] Mock (1859-1925) are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Toledo, Tama County, Iowa. They were married in April 4, 1886 in Tama Co., Iowa.

Anna was the child of Alexander and Martha [Stewart] Whiteley who migrated from Indiana to Tama County in the 1860's. They are both buried in Tama County as well. Anna's siblings included Hannah [Stineshower or Steinshower], John, Charles, James, Olive [Amidon], and Flora [Newhall].

John Mock followed his brother William Mock who had relocated to Tama County, Iowa.

John Mock and his brother William were sons of Oliver Mock and Sarah Ann Steinmetz whose families lived in southern Berks Co., Pennsylvania. Oliver and Sarah Mock are buried at Pine Swamp Cemetery in Chester County, PA.

How do you verify a burial place?

He says that two of her daughters from Center Point,had her buried next to their father in Chelsea, Iowa. I have found her husband buried in Salt Creek,Tama,Iowa and no sign of her. Any suggestions on who to call for help on this one?

My grandmother was Mary Weaver Novotny. I recall as a child hearing that we were related to the Hand and Stull families. I see in your post that John Hand m. Julia Weaver and one daughter Florence m. Clyde Stull. So that is the connection, somewhat tenuous but would appreciate any information on Julia Weaver, as that appears to be the connection. My brother, Joseph Novotny worked as a boy for either the Hand or Stull family and I recall the names and 7that there was some relation. Thanks for any help in trying to sort out the Weaver family.
