Dear Member and Friends,As the bleak and white of winter fades and father time

re-awakens our thoughts of seasons past, let us reminisce of thescents of a fresh spring rain and newly-mown grass, a wintersmelted snow cascading over rocks in a babbling brook, flower budspeaking through the earth to eventually display their brightly-colored petals and the wonderment of fully-blossomed apple andcherry trees. Are these year-old remembrances or childhoodmemories?

In studying family history, recording names and dates are thebasis of your research. However, that veneer structure can onlySpring eternal by enlightening the picture and your perspectivewith family recollections in a rainbow of colorful background onyour ancestors. For instance, the weathered hands and face of afarmer; the golden tousled hair of a child; grandpa's favoritecreaking rocking chair; grandma's large floured bib apron; yourgreat uncle's waxed handle-bar mustache; the family roadsterspeeding at 20 miles per hour; fancy buggy-whips; Sunday go-to-meeting bonnets; wooden butter churns; walking canes and strawskimmers; starched collars; a brick baking oven in close proximityto the large black cooking kettles in the fireplace; or thehardships and deprivations to support a large family (sometimesincluding in-laws and other family members);

Brush off the cobwebs of your research and spring into actionby recording your family's history for future generationsincluding the full spectrum of colors from dusk to dawn. .. atruly living memory!

Sincerely,

Westenhofer

SERVICE TO PATRONS:Or, What OPL Will Go Through To Help You

Find MO.re Missing Ancestors'

As genealogists, we all know the value of city directories.Every conference and lecture pertaining to urban research extollstheir virtues. Even relatively small communities have them or arecombined with nearby communities in one volume. Finding one'sancestor listed in the city directory can open a world of knowledgeto us. Their street address gives us access to census film thatmay expedite the search when indexes, soundex or other shortcutsaren't available. Since many states weren't soundexed in 1910,street addresses when used with em.nneration district maps. cancut your research time enormously. City directories give usoccupations which in turn give us clues to the migration of ourancestors. They can also help in tracing immigrant ancestors.

Eleanor Crawford and I had spoken about city directoriesmany times. She had looked into purchasing them but the cost wasprohibitive. Meanwhile, we received a new sourcebook, GenealogicalResearch and Resources a Guide for Library Use. (RG 929.1 Gil byLois C. Gilmer). While scanning the book, I noticed a referenceto City Directories in Hicroform. I showed Eleanor the entry andasked if she was familiar with it and it's format. WehaveNewspapers ih Microform, and it is an excellent guide to themicrofilm reels of newspapers, including the years available andwho owns them. Our patrons use it extensively to borrow newspaperson film that might contain anything from obituaries to the notice ofthe arrival of a ship of German immigrants in the port of New Orleans.We were excited about the possibility of a companion volume thatwould give us access to all the city directorie~ in the U.S.

Eleanor gave me the task of looking into the matter since I hadbeen so interested in adding this possible service. Through the

Buried Treasures - 23 - Vol. XXI, No.2

Bibliographic notation in Gilmer's book, I found the publisher'sname and date. I wrote to them and asked for a price anddescription of the book. They sent their catalog and hi.ghlightedthe entry we were interested in. It gave us no more: informationthan the bibliographic entry did, except the price ...$125.00.Eleanor and I agreed that before we spent $125 on a book, wewanted to make sure it would tell us what we and our patronswanted to know, ie: who owned what reels of film covering' whichcity directories.

I then went to the computer to "pull up" the book and see whoowned it. This was a task in itself. The title,'Git'y"Directories of,the U.S. produced hundreds of entries. In a succession of rotatingscreens we searched every entry, eliminating the microfiche-onlyones with the wrong publication year. Finally, we found the entrywe felt was the book we were interested in. When we pulled up theinstitutions that owned it, we were surprised at the number. l1anylibraries had a copy of Gity" DirectOries' 'of 'the'Unite'd S'tates 1860-1901. We decided to take one more precautionary step to determineif, indeed, we too wanted to spend $125.00 on this volume. Werequested copies of the preface and table of contents pages oninterlibrary loan. These still didn't answer all our questions,but did allow us to see that Atlanta, Georgia and New London,Connecticut city directories were listed and described on pages12 and 266 respectively. We then requested copies of those pagesand finally had our answer! The directories were listed by year,full descriptive names and contents, but did not tell us who ownedthem. However, since we now had full titles, I experimented withpulling them-up on the computer to see what libraries own them thesame way we do books our patrons ask to borrow on interlibrarylean. It worked~ What satisfaction in being able to effectivelyrequest another "finding ancestors" tool for our patrons. GityDirectories of the United States 1860-1901 is now on order, andwhen it arrives we hope you'll look it over and let us help youuse it to track that missing ancestor!

Buried Treasures - 24 - Vol. XXI, No. 2

When you locate the year you need, the state, wi~h the town/cityyou are interested in, fill out an interlibrary loan request. Beparticular to give us the full name of the directory year to besearched and surname, so that we can determine who owns it. Thenwe can request they photocopy reference to the surname you need.The cost should be under $5.00. We hope this will be anothervaluable service to our patrons.

BOOKREVIEW Somerset Homecoming

by Dorothy Spruill RedfordBOOK

REVIEW

The author, a black woman, has written a history of nerancestors in the United States. This is a genealogy of herfamilies and their history as slaves. The study has quite abit of information about how owners and slaves lived onsouthern plantations. For genealogists, the research onfamily names among the slave populations is very good.

Somerset Homecoming is an epjoyable book to read as thepersonalities and their stories are quite vivid. And theresearch and methods used to develop this history are welldocumented.

SIDE EFFECTS OF GENEALOGYby Rhoda Rollin

My daughter has developed a bad habit. When her teenage sonis not doing well in school she brings him to me to spend the week-end. My words carry more weight than hers, she says, since hersare classed as nagging.

This particular weekend Howard was dumped on my doorstep withlittle ceremony. His mother pleaded lack of time for her failureto come in and have a cup of coffee.

Howard followed me into the family room where I sat down at mydesk. "What's wrong this time?" I asked.

"Gee, I don't know. My old lady ... my mother .... " He changedhis choice of words when he saw my frown, and drawing a deep breathstarted again. "My mother is all upset just because I got an "F"in history."

"I would think so," I said. "After all, you come from a longline of ancestors who have helped make some of that history."

"No," he said, shaking his head. "I don't have any ancestors.There's only me and my mother and sister in my family. You know Idon't think much of my step-father."

"Howard, whether you chose to think so, or riot, you do haveancestors. Let me tell you about a few of them. There was theSpink family. They came to America in 1655 and were persecutedbecause they were Quakers."

Howard turned his head away and looked out the window."What about the Beatties?" I said. "They were Scotch

Highlanders from Clan MacBeth, driven off their land by theEnglish, and replaced by sheep. Jane and James Beattie arrivedhere in 1802 with their three months old son. Think of thepressures that forced them to leave their home and start over ina new world."

Howard swung his leg over the arm of the chair and turned hisback toward me.

"Well," I said in desperation, "How about the Hughson family.They fought each other in the Revolutionary War. There was so muchhatred that our branch of the family dropped the "gh" out of theirname and called themselves Huson." Howard didn't move so I wenton. "Nathaniel Huson had a son named Calvin who fought in the Warof 1812."

"Now, there's the problem," said Howard in a low voice."You mean the War of 1812?"Howard nodded. "It's a dumb war nobody ever heard of," he

muttered, "and""they're trying to make us learn all about it.""Is that why you're failing?""Yes, It he said."Well, it wasn't a dumb war to Calvin. Just think about it.

He was discharged December 23, 1814 in Brooklyn and he lived way upthe Hudson River, almost to Albany. It was winter; it must havebeen cold, and it was almost Christmas. How do you think he gothome? Did he hire a horse to ride all that way; or maybe he wasable to purchase passage on a sailboat; or did he have to walk?"

By now Howard's feet were back on the floor.

"Could you write some of this stuff down so I can take it tomy history teacher. He'll never believe me if I just get up inclass and start talking about these people."

"A week later Howard called. "I got an "A" on the stuff youwrote down for me," he said. "My teacher was real excited about itand read it to the class. He said I was the first person he'd evermet who had somebody in their family that fought in the War of1812. So you see, Grandma, nothing's changed. It's like I told youlast week, the War of 1812 is just some dumb old war nobody everheard of."

A WHALE OF A TALE

The following letter was written from a New England whaler to hisfather back home, as the ship was sailing near Tasmania,Australia. Submitter, Katherine Ronan COOPER, is trying to linkher mother's CHAPMAN ancestor (her great grandfather Oliver) tothe writer of the letter . . . a Charles Augustus CHAPMAN. Oliverhad a brother named C. A. CHAPMAN, but so far she only surmisesthey are one in the same:

JOHN DOUGHTYPioneer or Ogle County. Illinois

I started working on my ramily genealogy a good many yearsago berore there were 'How-to-do-it Courses' available so Ilearned how mostly by trial and error. Then I round myselracting as a volunteer at one or the local libraries helpingothers rind their way through the maze or inrormation we had onour shelves. From one to rour on Monday arternoons I was theresident genealogy expert and I was supposed to be able to tellour patrons what to do and how to do it. I realize that theremust be certain logical steps to rollow and I have gone tolectures and seminars on the subject rrom time to time but all Ihave learned is that the rirst step--or one or the rirst--is togo to the older members or your ramily and ask them to tell youwhat they know. UnrortunatelY I don't seem to have gottenbeyond Step One. My search ror my Doughty ramily is an exampleor my lack or method and how one thing leads to another.

About ten years ago I began wondering about my great greatgrandparents. I knew that my great grandmother was named JaneDoughty and that she married Austin Ledyard Bull in Illinois inthe relatively early days or the northern part or the state. Ihad an old letter written to me in the 30's by my great auntJennie Koopman. She was the only one lert or her generation andapparently when I rirst started thinking about the ramilygenealogy I had written to her ror help.

In her beautirul handwriting she gave me the inrormationrrom her grandmother's bible. As she wrote it: "notations wereput any old where. any old way." Here were the children or JohnDoughty and Hannah Wright. including Jane Doughty who marriedAustin L. Bull in Ottawa. Illinois. on Dec. 2. 1848.

Checking back a little rurther I round the Doughtys livingnear Byron. Illinois. in Ogle County. This is beautirul rarmland along the Rock River where John Doughty received U.S.Patent #127.245 on March i. 1848 (E 1/2. NE 1/4, Sec. ll-T25-RiO). An early history or Ogle County reported that theDoughtys and the Wrights came to Illinois rrom Yorkshire inEngland. According to Aunt Jennie they came rrom the town orPooklington. (It turned out that it was really spelledPocklington with a 'c').

An examination or the 1850 census, showing the birthplacesor the children. revealed that the ramily stopped in Canadarirst, moved on into New York and then went to Illinois as landwas opened up ror settlement. Some or the sons in the ramilywere the right age ror service in the Civil War and thatsuggested another avenue ror research. The county history, rorexample, showed that William Doughty served as a sergeant in Co.B or the 92nd Illinois and the papers in his rile told me that


r

he \,1asborn in 1837 in Noyan in the Province or Q.uebec inCanada. His sister Hannah was born (probably around 1842) inGeneseo. Livingston Co .• New York.

About this time I made a trip to Byron ror a search in thecounty courthouse and the cemeteries. I round some marriages.some deaths. and a will. I couldn't rind John Doughty in thedeath records or in the Byron cemetery but I did rind a burialror his second wire. a complete surprise to me as I had no ideathat he had married a second time. But there was RachelDoughty. wire or John. buried beside her rirst husband Henry W.Swan. Rachel had died in 1879.

The Doughtys and Wrights had been members or the old MiddleChurch near Byron. This was actually across the county line inWinnebago County and I tried writing there. In due time Ir·eceived a reply f r-om the church member who was in charge or thecemetery. It was winter and he couldn't read all the stones(there were no records or the earlier burials in the cemeteryriles) so he was unable to locate a marker ror John Doughty.However. by great good rortune. it turned out that he himselrwas a descendant or one or the original Wright ramilies or OgleCounty and he reported that they had sailed to Canada in 1832.moving on a rew years later to Geneseo. New York. on the ErieCanal. This. he said. came rrom a booklet written by hisgrandrather in 1936. He also sent me the name or a relativestill living in Byron who knew more about the Doughtys.This cousin was able to tell me that John Doughty was born inEngland in 1810. He died June 30. 1887. at the home or hisdaughter in Rockrord at the age or 77 years and 6 months. Hecame to the United States rrom Canada in 1838. settling inGeneseo which is Just south or Rochester. NY. He brought hisramily west to Illinois in 1842 and is buried in the Old Grout

.Church cemetery north or Byron. about haIr way between Byron andthe Middle Creek church. She said that the cemetery had beenabandoned. the stones removed and the land was now beingcultivated.

It turned out that John Doughty had willed his rarm to thegranddaughter who had taken care or him arter his rirst wiredied and the property remained in her ramily until about 1972.This granddaughter was my correspondent's mother.

A trip to Salt Lake City about that time allowed me to dosome research in the old parish records or Yorkshire which arestored on microrilm at the Mormon library. This providedadditional data as well as some conrusion. (As one soon learns.it is not at all unusual to rind conrlicting inrormation.)

Then one day when I was in Florida. I received a letterrrom an old Illinois rriend (my daughter's high school latinteacher. in ract). The Senior Center in the Illinois communityI had lived in had had an inquiry and was trying to locate me as

Buried Treasures - 35 - Va 1. xx I, Na • 2

the post ofFice no longer had my Forwarding address . (Thisseems to me a very ingenious way to locate someone! ). IFollowed up on this inquiry and Found more members of theDoughty Family living in Everett. Washington. We exchangedinFormation and one treasure For me was a picture of youngGeorge James Doughty, born in 1844, who died of ".tOundsreceivedat the Battle of Stones River in Tennessee in 1862. There he isin his uniForm with a gun and a sword and a great big revolverin a holster. He looks so young and so tired (or homesickperhaps?) and sort of overwhelmed by all these weapons whichwere almost bigger than he was. (Were they his weapons or hadthey been provided as props by the photographer?) He isreported to have died in the ConFederate hospital aFter thebattle but so Far we haven't been able to Find his grave in themilitary cemetery at the battle field.

My journeys in search of the Doughty Family represent across section of many of the diFFerent ways in which one canrind inFormation: senior members of the family, county records,Bible records. census material, Civil War pension papers,letters to church and cemetery ofFicials. old county histories,lucky accidents. and so on. At one point I even tried employinga proFessional genealogist to see what could be Found in Canadaaround Noyan (without any success.) One thing Frequently leadsto another, one correspondent to another, until Finally theFacts begin to build up a picture. It doesn't matter that noone of any prominence appears, that these are all just ordinaryFolks. It's Fun to know who they were and where they came fromand to speculate on their lives. What was the trip like FromGeneseo to Byron? Did the little Civil War soldier ever regrethis enlistment? Did he suFFer much in the hospital? Did Johnand Hannah Doughty wish they had stayed in Yorkshire? Thegranddaughter who served as his housekeeper reported to herchildren that he still had his English accent with the extra'h's. but did he think of himselF Finally as an Amer-ican?

The parish records for Pocklington in the East Riding ofYorkshire are a bit conFusing. It appears that Ann, daughter orJohn and Hannah Doughty of Canalhead, laborer, was baptised on19 March 1828. The following year on 9 June, Jane daughter ofJohn and Hannah Doughty, cowkeeper, of Pocklington was baptised.Possibly both of these children died as the date of birth ror'our' Jane was 21 May 1831 according to family records. She wasborn in RiverHead near Pocklington. There is a marriage for anAnn Doughty in Ogle County on 27 Jan. 1848 to Charles M.Burroughs -- but there also seems to be a daughter Annie who~lasborn and died in 1849 in Ogle Co. I can understand that Johnand Hannah might name another child Jane after the First Janedied, but would they name two children Anne twenty years apart?Or was there just one Anne born in 1829 who died in 1848 shortlyafter her marriage to Charles Burroughs?


Here then we have the information we have put together forJohn Doughty and Hannah Wright of Byron, pioneers of Illinois inOgle County.
