Sydney Mifflin from England

gmanger — 2008-11-16 01:54:22Z

My GGF William Sydney Mifflin was born in Bristol, England (and emigrated to Australia) and his father's name was Sydney Mifflin according to his marriage certificate. I can't find any record of a Sydney Mifflin in England and wonder if he was a Soloman Mifflin who perhaps changed his name. If anyone has any information regarding this family, I'd love to hear it.

John Walker

micask13 — 2008-05-18 16:46:00Z

A My ancestor John Walker arrived USA from England in 1886. His wife Elizabeth and chldren James W and Annie arrived following year.
1900c shows John as a Blacksmith, living with family at Mifflin.
In subsequent census records they are living at Mulhall with two further children, Bessie and Joseph R. John was working in a Steel Works
Bessie married someone named Baird but by 1930c was divorced and had a son William.
I know John (Jack) was alive in 1943 and living in Penn.
Does anyone have any links to or knowledge of this family?
Many thanks,
Mike (on the other side of the pond)

Mifflin-Corbett, Texas to California

omasan_1 — 2008-05-18 00:33:15Z

Seeking information on Thomas H. Corbett, born Texas abt. 1901 (H could be for Henry, but not sure), who married Tressie/Tressy b. abt. 1907, in Louisiana. They are found in the 1930 census in Los Angeles census, with children, Thomas Jr. b. about 1923 and James H. b. about 1923, both children were born in Louisiana. Found a listing on the California death index for a Thomas Corbett, died 23 Sep 1992in Ventura, CA, and his mother's maiden name was Mifflin. Don't have any more info on the Mifflin family, but hoping someone will recognize some part of this and contact me. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

Gov Thomas Mifflin, Catherine Livingston, and Susannah Mifflin?

Lcadry — 2007-11-13 00:32:42Z

Hello,

I have what one would call an "issue", and I could use some serious help!

I am a descendant of Henry Reighley, son of Matthew Reighley and Susannah Mifflin.

Henry's daughter Jennie (I have also seen her called Jane)Reighley Steen was my ggggrandmother.

I have searched and searched and came up with Thomas Mifflin as Susannah Mifflin's father, and Catherine E Livingston as Susannah's mother.

I know Thomas Mifflin was married to Sarah Morris. It is my understanding that he had at least one(likely more) child out of wedlock. Susannah is supposedly one of them.

However, on some of the family trees I have looked at, Susannah Mifflin's mother is a Mary McLanahan, father still Thomas Mifflin, but possibly another Thomas Mifflin.

I find a Catherine Livingston married to a Peter Close, but no daughter named Susannah mentioned. This raises another question... What was Susannah's legal maiden name? Mifflin? Livingston? Close? I have only ever seen it on other family trees as MIFFLIN.

Everytime I am sure I have the correct Susannah Mifflin, it seems I don't. Everytime it seems I have the correct Catherine Livingston, it then seems I'm wrong.

I wish I knew something I was certain of, but as of now, my genealogy for this branch is all 'soft copy' or 'rough draft'.

So far as I can tell, it does seem like Susannah's name was MIFFLIN and that her parents were Thomas Mifflin and Catherine Livingston. I feel almost certain, ALMOST, that Catherine is the daughter of Henry Livingston and Susannah Storm of NY. Of course I am nearly as unsure of all of this as I am sure of it. I can get little to no actual sources from historical or vital records. Much of what I am basing this off of is various websites of Livingston, Mifflin, Crissman, or Reighley family trees.

Any info would be appreciated. I will gladly share what I have, even my 'rough draft' Reighley/Mifflin/Livingston lineage.

Thanks.

Re: Margie and Harry Mifflin in Texas

Phillip_Mifflin — 2007-04-03 22:04:34Z

Harry and Margie Mifflin are my parents. My mother recognized some of the other names mentioned on the quilt as people the attended church with in Tucson, Arizona. (1940-1944?) My wife is a quilter and would be interested in seeing the quilt top. I was just a small child when the women were making the quilt.

Margie and Harry Mifflin in Texas

officesa — 2007-01-20 06:30:17Z

Margie and Harry Mifflin were among the names listed on a signature quilt top that we discovered while cleaning out my grandfather's home in San Angelo, Tom Green County, TX. No one in the family recognizes any of the names, so I am trying to locate someone that it might mean something to. This is a quilt top only and is not quilted. The other names are: The Turners, Anna Colvin, Ben and Nadine, Lois Colvin, Hartmann, Ollie Mae, Betty Warren, Mrs. Otis Brackin, Mr. & Mrs. Victor Bruderer, Alva & Bill Blackerby, Lyn B. Willoughby, The Brays, The SA Blackerbys, Mr. & Mrs. GE Teel, George Phillips/Blanche Phillips, Gilberts, Joe Shaws, Mrs. J.W./Ruth & Jerry McMains, Sue Welch.
Any help finding one of these people or their descendents so I can return this heirloom to its rightful place would be appreciated.

Charles Mifflin, Escambia County Fl 1827

2004-07-29 19:12:24Z

I'm looking for any information on a Charles Mifflin that would have been in the Pensacola area from 1827-1828. I am assuming that he was not from the area, as he is on neither the 1820 Spanish census or the 1830 US census. He helo the position of Escambia County Sheriff for 1827-1828, following the death of the former sheriff to the appointment of a new sheriff. I am looking for BMD records of any kind or any type of lead with his family. This is part of an ongoing research project between the Escambia County Sheriff's Office and the University of West Florida. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
