Re: J Sibley Felton

HeyPop1 — 2009-10-17 02:32:02Z

While researching the origin of the name of the town I live in, I came across your post here in ancestry. I live in Felton, Pa. 17322 named after Samuel Keehmley Felton, Sr. J Sibley was one of his sons. SK Felton was one of the owners of Felton, Sibley and Company a varnish manufacturer in Phila. JS Felton was born in Phila. December 17, 1866. After his schooling he was made a junior partner of the firm. By 1910 he was moved up to vice-president, secretary and director. In your research have you found any connection to S.M.Felton, railroad builder who, along with Allan Pinkerton, was responsible for saving the life of Lincold during his trip from Harrisburgh to Baltimore in 1867?

Re: William and Sarah Felton - PA

Allen_Mardis — 2009-09-22 23:12:18Z

Lisa- Sorry for the delay. The William and Sarah [Mardis] Felton I'm looking for were residents of Indiana County, PA. I have identified two surviving lines that resided in Indiana, Westmorland and Fayette counties. Thanks for the lead, but I don't think there is a direct link with the Titusville clan.

FELTON CREST AT WINDSOR CASTLE

cfelton8161 — 2009-09-10 22:09:36Z

Dear David. Thank you so much for posting this message abut our Felton Crest that still hangs at Windsor Castle. If anyone is interested in purchasing a copy of it. Please contact me at Felton96@aol.com. I purchased the right to make copies several years ago at Windsor Castle. Feo anyone going to England, I urge you to go see it. It is the greatest thrill to stand there and know that our ancestor was awarded this by the Black Prince in 1382. It is one of the oldest Crests still hanging there.

Best regards,

My husband's grandfather is a bit reclusive in any information on that side of the family. His name is George Felton and he married Margaret Black. What I know so far is that he was born in Arkansas and has lived in Washington for some time. I would love to learn more about the Felton line but I can't get any further than that.

Hi, this is my husbands (Leaming Ewing) family album, he is a direct descendant of the first person named (Emma Stratton Ewing), she was his great grandmother. Many other relatives of Felton and Philip surname still live in the Cape may area near us. My daughter Vanessa Ewing contacted moneone about this 3 - 4 years ago, and we never heard back. We believe the album was lost in south florida when an elderly relative, Marguerite Ewing, passed away years ago. What is necessary for our family to receive this album? thank you, Jana Ewing

I am interested in this as well. My husbands's family which we have traced back to J. L. Felton, they were told thier family orginated in England. I am searching for that connection.

J. L. FELTON

BettyFelton96 — 2008-11-25 19:36:56Z

Need information on J. L. Felton born 1823 believed to be in Durham, England. Died after 1862 in Ohio, USA.

Rebecca Unknown

BettyFelton96 — 2008-11-23 22:57:03Z

Need look-up for date of birth and maiden name of Rebecca unknown. She married a J. L. Felton. They lived in Ohio after the marriage. She was born between 1823 and 1830.

Re: J. L. Felton

BettyFelton96 — 2008-11-23 17:44:51Z

Thank you even though I had part of this information.

So, this tells me whomever was the parents of J. L. Felton maybe the ones who were from the UK originally.

My husband and his family grew up hearing that thier Felton ancestor came from England.

Re: J. L. Felton

BettyFelton96 — 2008-11-23 14:50:12Z

He married Rebecca Unknown. They had a son name Ora Felton born in 1862. Rebecca was born in Pennsylvania so I assume the marrige was after he migrated to the USA, and I think it took place in Ohio.

Need information on J. L. Felton

BettyFelton96 — 2008-11-20 19:58:14Z

J. L. Felton born 1823 in Ohio
married Rebecca Unknown
Died after 1862.

Need exact date of death believed to have been in Wyandot county Ohio.

MAN WHIRLED ON A MILL SHAFT

William P. WYCOFF, a carpenter, was whirled about the
driving shaft of a temporary sawmill, adjoining the new
Terminal Elevator, under construction in Armourdale,
yesterday morning until he received injuries from which he
died at 3:10 o'clock in the afternoon at the Bethany Hospital.

WYCOFF's coat became entangled in the shaft. He had
worked there only one day. Mr. WYCOFF was 38 years old
and lived at 1804 East Tenth Street. He leaves a widow,
Mrs. Emma WYCOFF. Burial will be at his birthplace in
Garnett, Kas.

This is the second of a series of accidents at the elevator in
the last two days. D. B. FELTON, 36 years old, of 203 North
Thorpe Avenue, Kansas side, and Sherman SEARCY, 27 years
old, of 332 South Fifth Street, Kansas side, who were injured
Monday when a heavy pipe, which was being raised swung
around and struck them, are at the Bethany Hospital. FELTON's
back was broken and he probably will die. SEARCY, whose leg
was fractured will recover.

Lord Felton?

JacobKCarpenter — 2008-11-26 08:54:47Z

I was recently browsing some history books, and came upon one that said that my family of Feltons descended from a "second son of a Lord Felton." My ancestor was Prudence FELTON, b. 1801 - Washington Co., MD/d. 07 Jul 1864 - Horse Shoe Run, Preston Co., VA/WV. She m. 08 Nov 1825 - Frederick Co., VA to Abraham Daniel WOTRING, b. 27 Oct 1804 - Aurora, Preston Co., VA/WV/d. 13 Jun 1891 - Frederick Co., VA. Her parents were John FELTON and Mary Eleanor McHENRY of Ryan's Glade, MD and WV. Her grandfather's name was Benjamin, and according to the history books, the Feltons came from England in 1732 and settled in MA. I would be most interested in finding out who this "Lord Felton" is, who the second son was, and the line to Prudence. As well, is the line provable? Any and all help is appreciated.

sure looks like it - I dont have access to births or marriages for Ohio so, that would be the way to go to track the christian name down

so, maybe a good idea to place a new message (NOT linked to this one) on the Ohio board + when looking for a marriage also the Pensilvyannia one

Good luck

Louise FELTON Timlin 1920-2009 Ohio

Lace_Lynch — 2009-03-26 00:14:16Z

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Louise Felton Timlin, age 88, of Columbus, Ohio died unexpectedly at home on Thursday, March 19, 2009. She was born in Zanesville, (Muskingum County) Ohio on November 18, 1920, to Etta Louise Burley Felton and Arthur Otis Felton.

Louise spent her early years living on a dairy farm in Hopewell,(Muskingum County) Ohio, that had been in her mother's family since 1828. After her father's death, she and her mother moved to Zanesville in 1927 and Louise attended Zanesville public schools, graduating from Lash High School in 1938. She enrolled in The Ohio State University and graduated with a B.S. in Education in 1942.

A lifelong member of the Methodist Church, Louise joined Parkview United Methodist Church in 1951 and remained an active member until her death. An officer of the church, she taught adult Sunday School for 50 years. She served on many committees and held various positions, including several terms as President of United Methodist Women. Louise was also an active member of the Sunset Literary Club, The Ohio State Alumni Association, and the Columbus Federation of Women's Club, of which she was twice president. For ten years she tutored English to the wives of international graduate students at Ohio State. In 1997 she was selected as an Outstanding Woman of Character in the Columbus Hilltop neighborhood.

An avid Ohio State football fan, Louise attended every home game from 1952 until 2000. The Columbus Dispatch wrote an article about her devotion to the game and she was honored on her 75th birthday by the Ohio State March Band playing "Happy Birthday" to her during half-time.

In addition to her parents; and her husband; Louise was preceded in death by her half-brothers, James Arthur Felton and George Burley Felton.

She is survived by two nieces, Margaret Felton Bruce and Eileen Felton Williams, both of California, and two nephews, Douglas Felton of California and Wayne Felton of North Carolina. She is also beloved by members of her husband's family, including two surviving sisters-in-law and her husband's many nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. at the Parkview United Methodist Church, 344 S. Algonquin Ave, Columbus, on Friday, March 27, 2009 and internment will follow at Timber Run Cemetery, Timber Run road, Hopewell Township, Muskingum county, Ohio at 3:00 p.m. Viewing will be from 3:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 26, 2009 at the Jerry Spears Funeral Home, 2693 W.
