| 7051 | Towney was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Yale University, he received his MBA from New York University. He served in World War II as a cadet-midshipman in The US Merchant Marine Cadet Corps., first at Kings Point, then at sea in both the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of the war. | Scudder, Townsend IV (I4342)
|
| 7052 | Townsend Scudder lived at Northport, Long Island. He was prepared by Rev. Horace Woodruff for Trinity College, Connecticut, where in 1854, he graduated with honor. He then studied and practiced law in New York City. | Scudder, Townsend (I1165)
|
| 7053 | Townsend's life at Northport, Long Island, following his birth was brief. Fate permitted him only one year of schooling in America. Death of his father when he was nine left his widowed mother the task of raising six children on limited means. The problem was resolved by her taking them all to Europe where the family lived in France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy, and where the boy received his unique education. When he returned to the United States at 18, the plan was that he would enter Columbia College in the School of Arts, but he was by now deficient in his native language. So, to qualify for entrance he went to a preparatory school (Fairchild's Institute in Flushing, New York) for one year and had a job in business for another. Then 'feeling too old' for college (as he says) he entered Columbia Law School. Townsend graduated from Columbia Law School, New York City, in 1888; was admitted to the bar in 1889 and commenced practice in New York City. He was corporation counsel for Queens county, N.Y., 1893-1899; elected as a Democrat to the Fifty-sixth Congress (March 4, 1899-March 3, 1901); declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1900 and resumed the practice of law. He was elected to the Fifty-eighth Congress (March 4, 1903-March 3, 1905); was not a candidate for renomination in 1904; justice of the State supreme court for the second judicial district 1907-1920; again resumed the practice of his profession in New York City. Townsend became State park commissioner and vice president of the Long Island State Park Commission 1924-1927. He was appointed to the State supreme court bench by Gov. Alfred E. Smith in February 1927; subsequently nominated by the two major political parties to succeed himself for the full term of fourteen years; elected on November 8, 1927, and served until January 1, 1936, when he retired. Townsend served as the first President of the Scudder Association of America, having been elected on April 20, 1912. The Scudder Association of America was amalgamated with the Scudder Memorial Association in 1937. On November 30, 1938, both Associations were dissolved. A meeting of the incorporators of the new Association known as The Scudder Association, Inc., was held on December 29, 1938. | Scudder, Judge Townsend II (I9076)
|
| 7054 | Townsend, a graduate of Yale University, taught English at Yale and at Swarthmore College. He was a founder in 1950 of the Center for Information on America, a nonpartisan publisher of pamphlets on issues affecting the United States. He ran the organization until his retirement in 1980. Townsend wrote several books, including ''Emerson, the Lonely, Wayfaring Man,'' published in 1936 by Oxford University Press, and ''Concord: American Town,'' published in 1947 by Little, Brown & Company. | Scudder, Townsend III (I9079)

| 7057 | Tribute in the 82d Report of the Board of Foreign Missions, Reformed Church of America, 1914, p. 61: "Mrs. Jared Waterbury Scudder passed away at Pameter, India, on Wednesday, December 10, 1913. She arrived in Madras in 1855 and therefore had given 58 years of missionary service to India and to the American Arcot Mission. She had the rare quality of equanimity. Loyal and devoted as she was in her family life, as well in the many[sided aspects of the life of a Missionary and Missionary's wife, she never allowed anything to to disturb the outward manifestations of the inward peace. "For many years she had charge of the Tamil Girls' Seminary, teacihing and caring for the pupils spiritually and physically, showing an intimate knowledge of, and sympathy for, each pupil and following their career through life with most valuable advice. She also taught a class of young men who afterwards became pastors and prominent workers. "To know her was a benefaction, and to be associated with her in any way an inspiration and an honor. "The mission records its gratitude to God for the long and sweet service rendered by Mrs. Scudder." https://issuu.com/vanwylenlibrary/docs/082_board_of_foreign_missions_rca_1 Julia was a sister of the Governor of Georgia's wife. | Goodwin, Julia Clayton (I1264)

|
| 7064 | Twin of Hays Jackson. Died as an infant. Was originally buried in Oak Grove Cemetery near Oak Grove, Benton county, Arkansas. When Beaver Lake was created, the grave was moved to Oak Grove Cemetery, Rogers, Benton county, Arkansas. Family Bible of Harvey Hayes Jackson shows this child's name to be Howard. Tombstone and oral history stated by Joetta Jackson Bilderback show his name to be Harvey. Oral history from Beulah Jackson Bilderback shows his name to be Howard. I am inclined to believe the Bible entry of H.H. Jackson, as this was his son. | Jackson, Howard (I3451)

| 7069 | Umphery was an electrician and always had a better than average job. He was able to send his two sons to Texas A&M. He was an employee of Houston Light and Power and was up on a utility pole when he got shocked and fell about 30 feet. He landed on a barbed-wire fence and his leg was shattered. He was taken to the hospital and was recovering from the electric shock when the doctor wanted to operate on his leg. The anesthesia killed him. | McKinney, Umphery Earl (I25851)

| 7070 | Under construction. On 21 June 1747 the Rev. John Craig of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church baptized "David Stuart and Abigail Harrison adult persons after profession of faith and obedience." Joseph A. Waddell, Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, p. 152. Some have suggested that there may have been circumstances that required this baptism as part of a marriage before Rev. Craig performed their ceremony. Just which Harrison was the parent of Abigail is not known. Research suggests that there may have been other Harrison descendants of David's generation (for example survivors of his deceased uncle Gideon's family) at Augusta County and a Joseph Harrison who was also of the generation of David's parents. In these frontier circumstances it would not have been unusual that David Stewart married a cousin. Assigning Abigail a specific parent, however, would at this point be pure guesswork. | Harrison, Abigail (I12468)
|
| 7071 | UNDER REVIEW and DISCUSSION. There are marriage sources for her with this name, but she is not mentioned in the settlement of her father's estate. ATTACHED to these parents for the following reasons: E. B. Huntington's, A Genealogical Memoir of the Lo-Lathrop Family in this Country..., p. 48 states that Joseph Lathrop, son of Samuel Lathrop and Elizabeth Scudder, married 1 April 8, 1686, Mary Scudder who died September 18, 1695. It appears likely that Mary Scudder would have been his 1st cousin on the Scudder line, she being the niece of Elizabeth (Scudder) Lathrop. The only possible Scudder parents for a birth of a Mary Scudder of the right age available in that time period and location would have been John and Hannah (unknown) Scudder of Barnstable. After Rev. John Lothrop's death in 1653, a division developed in his church and a number of families left the congregation which may account for why the younger Scudder children were not recorded on its church records. This may also account for why John and Hannah's son John Scudder III's birth record is also not found. John III stayed at Barnstable so was otherwise well known on the town records. After reviewing the URL of the Lothrop Memoir, please also read the subsequent note. https://archive.org/details/agenealogicalme00huntgoog/page/n61 From Norwich records: "Joseph Louthroup maried to marcy Scudder the 8th of Aprill 1686. Barnabas Lothrup was Born ffebr the 4th 1686/7. Joseph Lothrup was Born Septembr the 18th, 1688. Abigall Lothrup was Born Septembr the 16th 1693 Marcy Lothrup the wife of Joseph Lothrup Deceased September 18th: Anno 1695. Joseph Lothrup and Elizabeth Waterhouse (Watrous) married the 2d Day of ffebruary Anno 1696/7.

This article says John and Hannah unknown Scudder had 5 known children and gives a burial date for a dau Mary of 3 Dec 1649. There are, however, 2 other women named Scudder on marriage records, Mehitable and this Mary, cited in other sources, as "spouses" to husbands. Some sources of this marriage state Marcy rather than Mary. There is no official birth record for either daughter as belonging to these parents but they must have been 2 undocumented children of John (J) and Hannah unknown of Barnstable. John's Scudder male cousins and their families are all accounted for and they do not have these 2 "daughters." Barnstable county secondary sources do cite Mehitable as the daughter of John (J) and Hannah. The case for Mary or Marcy as their daughter is considered in the following note. NOTE: Beyond the known children of John (J) and Hannah, these 2 other female Scudders, Mehitable "Scudder" who married John Doane III and Mary or Marcy "Scudder who married Joseph Lathrop (Samuel, Rev. John I), were part of their Scudder/ Lathrop extended-family. Both husbands belonged to the John Scudder II–Hannah (unknown) extended family through his sister Elizabeth (Scudder) Lathrop and her husband Samuel (John). After the death of Samuel's 1st wife, Elizabeth (Scudder)Lathrop, Samuel married Abigail (Doane) Lathrop, who lived to be very aged. She would have been a key member of the Lathrop extended family and stepmother to Samuel Lathrop's children, including Joseph, as well as her being aunt to John Doane III. Mary Scudder married Joseph Lathrop before his stepmother married Samuel Lathrop. The marriage of her nephew John Doane III occurred at Eastham, Barnstable County, after her own. If Mehitable Scudder, wife of John Doane III was a sister to this Mary or Marcy Scudder, Abigail (Doane) Scudder's stepdaughter, such a marriage in the family would not be surprising. Although the Scudder Association family organization did not have Mehitable or a second Mary or Marcy documented as children of John and Hannah (unknown) Scudder, the Lathrops and Doanes knew about them and cited them in their well-prepared histories. The Lo-Lathrop Memoir notes the marriage date for Mary Scudder to Joseph Lathrop that is found in Norwich Vital Records. Mehitable (Scudder) Doane is cited as the mother of John Doane IV in "First Settlers of Eastham, NEHGS,v. 6, (January 1852): 44 and the FamilySearch "Massachusetts Births and Christenings database." The only possibility is that Mary or Marcy and Mehitable were children of John (J) and Hannah (unknown) of Barnstable. There is no other male Scudder available in America at the time for these "Scudders" to be the wives of Joseph Lathrop (3) & John Doane III. | Scudder, Mary or Marcy (I2036)

| 7072 | UNDER REVIEW and DISCUSSION. There are marriage sources for her with this name, but she is not mentioned in the settlement of her father's estate. From David Hamblin, "First Settlers of Eastham, Mass," The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, volume 6, no. 1, (January 1852).44 "John Doane, Jr., m.

A Mehitable Scudder is again mentioned as the 1st wife of John Doane III, he being b. at Eastham, Massachusetts, 29 May 1664, in The Doane Family: 1 Deacon John Doane of Plymouth, p. 34. The only possible parents for her in America would have been John Scudder II and wife Hannah (Unknown) of Barnstable, unless he had an unknown marriage. This John Doane III's father would have been a sibling to Samuel Lathrop's 2nd wife, making John Doane III and Mehitable Scudder step-cousins. See Alfred A. Doane, The Doane Family: 1 Deacon John Doane, of Plymouth..., p. 34. https://archive.org/details/doanefamily1deac00doan/page/34 See "John (J) and Elizabeth (E) of Barnstable,"Scudder Searches, v. 1, no. 2, (Summer 1989): 4.

Caleb S. Green, of Trenton. In 1877 he was admitted to the bar as an attorneyat-law, and in 1888 as counselor. He devoted his time to the practice of his profession in Trenton until about 1890, when he became president of the Trenton Trust and Safe Deposit Company and the Real Estate Title Company.

| 7077 | Upon graduation from St Mary's High School in Berkeley, California, John briefly served in World War II. He was taken out of a combat unit in October 1944 since his three step-brothers were serving in the Navy and Army (one was a Japanese POW). If you recall the movie, "Saving Private Ryan" that was based on a true story, John was the 4th brother. He played football for an Army enlisted team for the rest of the war. All five of his schoolmates and best friends were killed in action in the war; he was the only survivor. After the war John went to St Mary's College and was an All American Defensive Player. He graduated in 1948 and worked as an educator at St Mary's until 1967 and then finished his educator career in Oakland, California, as a teacher, vice-principal and principal for a total of 44 years. | Scudder, John William (I29478)
|
| 7078 | Upon the death of his mother, William was sent to America in November 1845, arriving there in May 1846. He was raised by his aunt, Elizabeth Pohlman McClure, who resided at 196 State Street, Albany, New York. William received his early education at Albany Academy. Under his aunt’s religious influences, he united with the North Dutch Church, now known as the First Church in Albany (Reformed) and devoted himself to foreign missionary work. In the fall of 1859, he entered Rutger's College, New Brunswick, New Jersey. At the outbreak of the Civil War, however, he left Rutgers and enlisted as a private in the 1st New Jersey Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company G, on May 28, 1861, to serve three years. In January 1862, William was placed on detached service with the newly formed US Signal Corps. Communicating "at a distance of miles, by means of flags during the day, and torches at night" was considered the cutting edge of technology of the day. He was sent to Fort Monroe in Chesapeake Bay, where he saw the "Monitor" just two weeks after the historic naval battle between the "Monitor" and the "Merrimack" (CSS Virginia). While with the Signal Corps, he was also involved in the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg. Promoted to lieutenant in January 1863 with the 59th New York Infantry Regiment, William became the Regimental Adjutant, and participated in the battle of Chancellorsville, and then the battle of Gettysburg. The 59th arrived at Gettysburg at 6 a.m. on the morning of July 2, 1863, the second of the three day battle. The 59th, part of General Winfield Scott Hancock's 2nd Corps, was positioned in the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge, in front of the famous Copse of Trees. Later on the afternoon of July 2nd the 59th assisted in the repulse of a brigade of Confederates from Georgia under the command of General Ambrose Wright. It was Lt. Pohlman's 14th engagement of the war. Then, during the tremendous cannonade of July 3rd, William was wounded in the left shoulder by shrapnel, rendering his arm powerless. His men urged him to leave the field, but he said, "Not while I have my sword arm left." An hour later, during the Confederate infantry assault known as "Pickett's Charge", a minie ball shattered William’s sword hilt, penetrated his right wrist and passed up his arm. One of his men wound his handkerchief around the arm and pushed his ramrod in the wound to keep it from bleeding. Staying on the field of battle until the attack was repulsed, William then walked under his own power three miles to the 2nd Corps Field Hospital, located on the Jacob Schwarz farm near Rock Creek, fainting once along the way. After being treated for his wounds at the Field Hospital, on July 11th, William was moved into the town of Gettysburg to the home of John Swope, located on the northwest corner of York and Stratton streets. The improved conditions he was now placed in, and his naturally good constitution, were thought to be sufficient to carry him through. However, on July 20th, secondary hemorrhage set in and he sank rapidly. He fell into a stupor toward the last and was not conscious. He was called by name several times, but he took no notice. A hospital steward stooped down and shouted in his ear, "Adjutant." William opened his eyes for a moment and then closed them again. A short time later he raised his head and gave the order "cease firing!" These were his last words. At 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 21, 1863, William died of his wounds at the Swope house. | Pohlman, William Henry (I13289)
