Hi Margaret, Just checked your message and I also have the same stockdale's in my family tree. Mary Ann Stockdale's brother Joseph born 1857 is my great great grandfather. My entire family tree is listed on genes reunited.

Joseph Stockdale's parents were John Stockdale & Elizabeth McFarron. Joseph married Mary Ostle and they had a son "Joseph Stockdale Ostle" he married Mary Wilson and had 4 children (Sarah Sadie Ostle was was great grandmother and her son Joseph Ostle is my grandfather). I Know that Joseph & Mary had their son before they married and they decided to keep his name as Ostle after they married.

I these people after doing a search on www.familysearch.org.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 252-09
April 16, 2009
Navy Commissions New Guided Missile Destroyer Stockdale

The Navy will commission the newest Arleigh Burke class guided-missile destroyer, Stockdale, during an 11:00 a.m. PST ceremony on Saturday, April 18, 2009, in Port Hueneme, Calif.

Designated DDG 106, the new destroyer honors Medal of Honor recipient Vice Adm. James Bond Stockdale (1923-2005), the legendary leader of American prisoners of war (POWs) during the Vietnam War.

Stockdale was the highest-ranking naval officer ever held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. His plane was shot down Sept. 9, 1965, while flying combat missions over North Vietnam. Stockdale spent more than seven years in captivity at prisons in North Vietnam, including time at the infamous “Hanoi Hilton.” Four of those years were spent in solitary confinement. While imprisoned, Stockdale is credited with organizing a set of rules to govern the behavior of fellow prisoners of war and for helping to develop a code for prisoners to communicate with each other that included tapping on cell walls. In recognition of his leadership and sacrifice he was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1976.

Stockdale received 26 combat medals and awards, including two Distinguished Flying Crosses, three Distinguished Service Medals, two Purple Hearts and four Silver Stars. He was also named to the Aircraft Carrier Hall of Fame, National Aviation Hall of Fame, and was an honorary member of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots.

Commander, U.S. Pacific Command, Adm. Timothy Keating, will deliver the ceremony's principal address. Sybil Stockdale will serve as sponsor of the ship named for her late husband. The ceremony will be highlighted by a time-honored Navy tradition when she gives the first order to “man our ship and bring her to life!”

Stockdale is the 56th of 62 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. The ship will be able to conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection. Stockdale will be capable of fighting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously and contains a myriad of offensive and defensive weapons designed to support maritime warfare in keeping with “A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower,” the new maritime strategy that postures the sea services to apply maritime power to protect U.S. vital interests in an increasingly interconnected and uncertain world.

Cmdr. Fred W. Kacher, of Oakton, Va., will become the first commanding officer of the ship and will lead the crew of 276 officers and enlisted personnel. The 9,200-ton Stockdale was built by Bath Iron Works, a General Dynamics Company. The ship is 509 feet in length, has a waterline beam of 59 feet, and a navigational draft of 31 feet. Four gas turbine engines will power the ship to speeds in excess of 30 knots.

Stockdale marriage in Oregon, 1920--help me ID the bride!

futurowoman — 2009-03-28 03:12:33Z

Hello,

I am new to the boards, so I hope I'm organizing this query correctly. Using the "Oregon Marriages 1906-1920" search (full citation below), I found this listing on a person (if it's him) I am researching:

Name: Leonard A Stockdale
County: Multnomah
Marriage Date: 25 Jun 1920

However, there was no bride listed. Does anyone know of online access to this information, or a way I can search via date, to find the bride, OR have this info, please? I would be very grateful! Also, if you can confirm the full middle name of Leonard Stockdale here, or birthdate or mother's name or some other identifier, that would be wonderful as well. Thank you so much!

Looking for Family info on Violet Rose Stockdale & Phillips siblings

imlilfox — 2009-01-27 20:38:33Z

Looking for Family info on Violet Rose Stockdale & her Phillips family siblings.
Here's what I know... Violet Rose Stockdale (from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) is the half sister of Donald E Phillips (b 1929 Wyoming d. 2004 Idaho), Charles Phillips (from Post Falls, Idaho) & a name unknown sister or 2. (not clear on that.) I am assuming that her shared parent is their mother, Anna Frances Wickard making her step-father? James Francis Phillips.
Donald Phillips has a brother-in-law named Rudy Rash of Coeur d’Alene, he may be married to Violet or the unknown sister. (not clear on that either)
This is all I know about this family & the info came from Donald's obituary.
Any help would be a Blessing.
Thank You

Re: Stockdales in Mauritius

Hi, I'm John Stockdale another of Reginald Booth Stockdale's 3 children. Lillian Booth's Fruit and Roses picture is on the wall next to me so that's one mystery sorted. She died in 1957. I remember her acerbic style. We saw her off on a train once. She walked into a carriage with just one spare seat with a briefcase clearly reserving it for someone; she put the briefcase in the luggage rack and when someone started to explain it was reserved, said: "Bums reserve seats, not briefcases."

Re: Stockdales in Mauritius

seankisby — 2008-09-16 22:53:37Z

How fabulous to hear from you both and fascinating to know you are heading out to Mauritius!

Yes, I have now realised my mistake about James. Your great aunt Lillian mentions the Stockdales in her will. But it is James Booth Taylor (my own great uncle) not James Booth Stockdale, that is mentioned. Interestingly Lillian distributed her paintings in her will, her watercolour "Fruit and Roses" went to Reginald, while her watercolour "Dog and Child" (which went to my grandfather) is actually hanging in my bedroom right now! Any idea where "Fruit and Roses" is today? It would be interesting to know!

Well, I'm not sure how this Rootsweb communication system works, but if there is not an email displayed on my profile you are welcome to contact me on seankisby at yahoo dot co dot uk.

Hi Larry,
Looking into your Joeseph and Emily, I didn't think I could see a link with Elizabeth Stockdale (Nee Allen) and Ben Stockdale as they had no "Joseph" (son) although Ben did have a brother called Joseph (born 1869) which might fit? He would have only been 27 if he died in 1896. Your Emily would have been 52 at the time - perhaps not them.

Re: East Markham and Retford Nottingham England

NickStockdale — 2007-11-17 09:59:31Z

Hi Sarah, Larry;
From the 1891 Census for East Markham, I see that a George Allen (Visitor) is at the Chappell Street home of Mary Stockdale (Ben Stockdales Mother) - so it would appear that he also returned to the UK by this time. He is also listed as a widower.

Re: East Markham and Retford Nottingham England

NickStockdale — 2007-11-16 17:50:25Z

Hi Larry, Sarah.
From the 1901 England Census, I see that George Stockdale was born in "America" - the emunerator has written "Amania" which Ancestry.co.uk have allocated to Nottinghsamshire, England. Which is close I suppose.
Ancestry.com "world" subscribers can see passenger lists for sailings from the UK to America (New York) - I see from the summary page that Elizabeth Stockdale appears on an 1886 manifest, but no Benjamin. I scrolled back before George was born, but nothing rang any bells. It would seem the family went to America, or at least Elizabeth (surely she wouldn't have travelled pregnant?) and returned between 1881 and 1891 as the appear on both english census of those years. It also seems odd, as Ben was only a farm labourer possibly on his Fathers (George) farm (14 acres only)- I can't imagine they had the money to pay for the crossing. Were there sponsered or state funded passages at this time? I don't know.
Regards Nick

Re: East Markham and Retford Nottingham England

NickStockdale — 2007-11-14 11:13:41Z

hi Sarah, We do have a strong correlation, but the Illinois ones are a little confusing... I wonder what took the family to the States and back again so soon?
I have; Elizabeth Stockdale (Nee Allen) married to Ben Stockdale. They had 6 Children living with them at the time of the 1901 Census of England. Those were; Mary A 1884, George 1887, Minnie 1889, Willie 1891, Florence 1894, Benjamin 1897, Charles H 1900.
Elizabeth Allen's parents were George Allen 1823, and Anne Worsley 1821. I've already mentioned Bens Parents.
Search for the Stockdale Public tree and see how it all fits together.

We are looking for further information on William Stockdale whom was a Minister of the Friends Church now known as Quakers. He emigrated to the USA in the mid 1600s after being placed in Stocks for failure to pay a Tax to the Church of England. He apparenly autherd several books about the Friends Church and it's people being persecuted. I believe he is the firs of my family line to come to the US or at that time the Colonies. He came on a Ship named Friends Sailed from London. Any information you have would be appreciated.

Re: East Markham and Retford Nottingham England

hcgross — 2007-11-17 18:09:25Z

Thanks, Nick,

Sounds doubtful. My Joseph most likely was born around 1840 in or near Yorkshire. He evidently didn't emigrate with his wife Emily when she came to the US in 1883, but shows up later. Their two sons were born in England, but all 6 daughters were born in Illinois. By 1900 he had died, probably in 1896. Emily is listed in 1900 US census as head of household living on Martin St in LaMoille (she was 56 then), with all 6 girls living with her. Son John shoes up in the 1920 US census as head of household, with his mother and sister (Laura, my mother)living with him.

hcgross — 2007-11-11 20:17:32Z

Looking for any information re Joseph Stockdale, probably born in or near Yorkshire around 1835-1845. Married Emily (b.1844). Evidently emigrated to USA, where wife Emily is listed as widow in the 1900 census. Said to have had 8 children, 6 daughters, 2 sons. Youngest daughter Laura, my mother, b. 1894 in LaMoille Township, Bureau County IL.

Re: East Markham and Retford Nottingham England

hcgross — 2007-11-15 23:17:09Z

Hi Sarah,

The LaMoille IL connection caught my eye because of possible connections with my mother, Laura Stockdale Gross, also of LaMoille. Her father, Joseph Stockdale of LaMoille, died in 1896. Her mother, Emily, was listed as head of household in the 1900 census.

I don't know what the relationship with your Stockdales might be.

According to the 1900 census:

Name: Laura Stockdale
Home in 1900: La Moille, Bureau, Illinois
Age: 5
Estimated birth year: abt 1895
Birthplace: Illinois
Relationship to head-of-house: Daughter
Father's name:
Mother's name: Emily
Race: White
Household Members:
Name Age
Emily Stockdale 56
Mary Stockdale 14
Anna Stockdale 16
Rose Stockdale 12
Lucile Stockdale 10
Jennie Stockdale 9
Laura Stockdale 5

I am writing in regard to the post I saw about John Stockdale. Do you know for a fact that John is Matthew Stockdale dad? My husband is in the Matthew Stockdale line, and that is as far back as any family members can remember. I have found some info. saying that it is a possiblity that John can be the father of Matthew but I have yet to prove this.

This tree I have was done by Ben Allen from California back in the 1980.
He sent a copy to all direct descendants.
Notes from his files as the following." From Letters sent to Joe Allen.George Allen (1823) and his father were cowmen at Grove HAll Notts.All the grown children except the second son George migrated to usa.Father George,mother Ann andElizabeth Allen Stockdale and her husband Ben Stockdale returned to notts in 1887"

Stockdales in Mauritius

seankisby — 2008-04-14 17:08:04Z

I thought I'd post my Stockdale surname interests. My great-great-aunt Mabel Booth married a Reginald Stockdale in Preston, Lancashire in 1906. I believe he made a name for himself in Mauritius as a telegraph engineer for the railway system. I believe Mabel and Reginald had 3 sons, Reginald Booth Stockdale, Kenneth Stockdale and James Stockdale, probably all born in Mauritius (or en-route).

It would be interesting to hear from any relations.

Hello. I'm descended from Edward Stocksdale and Eleanor Bennett, through their daughter Jemima. I just found your post on Ancestry.com and I'm wondering if your Elisha was Jemima's brother. She married John Brown in Baltimore area, MD about 1802 or 1804 and they emigrated to OH about 1817; they show up in the OH Census of 1820, p.720. Do you have information on Edward Stocksdale and Eleanor Bennett, either their descendants or ancestors? Thanks, Sherrie Eby
