Scramlin --- What a Difference Time Makes -- Using Google Photos

I used Google to search my surname Scramlin images on April 26, 2004. As you can see, from the above print, only seven images appeared. Fortunately, there were two tombstone photos, but they didn't help with my research.

Fast forward to December 17, 2023, now there are too many to number. For images, there are photos of people, farms, houses, a few maps, business pictures, and my blog.  https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=591685144&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS1002US1002&sxsrf=AM9HkKmUTkX7VeON2SEY1Z7botiZ4kQSfg:1702831922020&q=scramlin&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwj-xcue95aDAxWWGFkFHTlTDjAQ0pQJegQIDRAB&biw=1024&bih=454&dpr=1.5  

I think I was far more excited about 20 years ago doing online research than now.
 

How Do You Say Goodbye to your Genealogy Research? This is What I Did.

I don't remember who I got this photo from, I've had it for over 25 years. The minute I received it, I knew I had to locate the tombstone of my 5th great-grandfather, Hendrick Schrambling. (My blog with photos.). This photo set me on the trail to research this family, it led me from New York to Michigan.

Two weeks ago, I contacted one of my favorite distant cousins related through this line. His line ended in Oklahoma, mine in Michigan. After much thought, I knew it was time to put some of my 32-year-old research to rest, so I wrote him, "I have decided to part with these papers and more of the early family...but I can't just toss them. What I would like to do is send it to you, ha and you can do as you please. As you probably know, we have spent many hours and days on this line. The project of my going over each piece of paper will take weeks, and I look forward to it." Unfortunately, he turned me down because he has his own stuff and nobody in his family is interested in genealogy! Oh no. Since he is the only one I've communicated with in years on this line, I decided to share some of what I have and then just toss them. Nobody has contacted me about this line in over ten years, even though I have written articles about the family in my blog. Years ago, a Schrambling cousin did a list of all the spellings for this name and I'm sharing it to peak some interest.

Schraembling, Schramblin, Scramlin, Schramling, Schrembling, Schremeling, Schremle, Schrambling, Scrainlin, Scramblin, Scrambling, Scramlin, Scranlin, Scranling, Scremlin, Scrimile, Shramlin, Shramling

The best way to show what I have is to take photos.

Below are sources from various people and a few of mine. The purpose of doing this is to reach out to any Scrambling cousins who might have an interest. A brief description is below each photo.

• 

• My good friend Eileen Wood of Las Vegas put her information in a  newsletter for all subscribers to receive, I think I received 6-7 issues. The newsletter was quite a professional piece of work. She had charts, color photos and the names of all remembers (middle picture), I am listed as #2. She even sent me a DVD of her tree. The third pile consists of information from two sisters (one from NH and the other from FL) who took a journey to follow Hendrick's path from New York (West Camp, Oneonta, Canajoharie Creek in the Mohawk Valley, Stone Arabia) to Climax, Michigan. One sister had terminal cancer and it was her wish to make this trip Her husband did the driving. Soon after the trip, I went to Concord, NH to visit her sister, Laura, and got a copy of everything. They had a great time.

• 

Photos of a binder with information about the Schremblings of Canajohaare and other data by Joyce Rideinger took the photos, wrote about her line, and added  additional information; the middle photos are from my visit to two Oneonta cemeteries with my husband and met a friend, Sandy Goodspeed, who located all the stones before I arrived, and one of the early books I used to find "Schraemling, Henrich (9) and his wife Maria Elisabeth with 5 children." The book is often referred to as the Simmendinger Register.

• The first chart is in three pieces, and the second is showing a bit of detail. I received them from Peter or Lary Scramlin of Washington state over 20 years ago. The top sheet, peace together is 83"long, and 42" wide. They were very hard to handle. I hope to locate him to return them. UPDATE: I JUST LOCATED THE SON OF THE PERSON WHO MIGHT HAVE DONE THIS. We had a nice chat and knew a lot about the family especially since he lives in the county where the family lived for almost 200 years. I'm sending this report to him.

The Six-page legal-size will of Hendrick Schrambling is dated Feb. 24, 1808.  The top report on the right is a Family Map of 17 pages showing where the Scramblings lived in the United States and Canada. I prepared this in 2006. The bottom report of 16 pages is very detailed. I got this from Eileen, the writer of the newsletter. It was done by her mother.

The first row in order, consists of several pieces of correspondence to me, back when I used AOL in 2001; the middle pile has four pages with 17 different sources for Hendrick Schrambling that I did and shared; the third pile is 83 pages of the Descendants of Hendrick Schrambling. The bottom lineage report was from Wendell Scramlin of Climax, Michigan.

Another chart was sent to me on two legal-size sheets of paper drawn by Harvey Baker of Florida (no date). The bottom row has a part of the pile of DAR applications I got when I visited the DAR in 2001. The middle is a very detailed summary report, dated 1990 and the last is also an old report (no idea who I got these two things from).



I was given this photocopy of a group of Scrambling / Scramlin / etc. descendants who got together 20+ years ago in the New York State Library to meet and share information. Cousins Larry and Helen are on the right. The other photo is too dark to see anything. The chart above the photo indicated the lineage they have from Hendrick Scrambling.


I'm giving credit to all those who helped me over the years. They either shared their information, went to Libraries for obits, or took cemetery photos in states I've never been to, like Michigan.


Eileen Wood, Frances Fagan, Joyce Riedinger, Larry Scramlin, Joyce Riedinger, Helen Burkett, Sandy Goodspeed, Joyce Luscomb, David Rumery, Gary Hanna, Brenda Glover Leyndyke, Sharonii Roberts, Linda Herrell, and Ted Metscher. Four are now deceased. I've only met two, they are Brenda Leyndyke from MI and Sandy Goodspeed from NY. Nine in this group have a Scrambling in their tree.

Each Example is Different, and None Were Done on Computers

For many of us, we received a baby book with the new family tree filled out by a parent. This one of mine was filled out in full with all names, but unfortunately there are two small errors, and no dates nor locations. I received this book when I got married, I didn't think about these people until I began working at the DAR in Washington and decided to join as a member. Using this was my first source, until I discovered that my mother and great-grandmother had been members of the DAR.

I will show five examples of genealogy charts, all are quite different, and you might have the same luck if you just spread the news to your family members that you are big into genealogy, and ask if they have charts. Also, it would be a smart move to inquire at libraries where your family or ancestor lived as well as call, write or go online to see what the area Colleges, Historical Societies or any Repository has. Another suggestion is to ask other genealogists, especially if you belong to groups on facebook.

Since my old baby tree, I've been given several very detailed charts (typed and hand written) by family members and a stranger. In addition, I located a typed manuscript of over 200 pages. It appears that several of my ancestors were into genealogy. When I received these, I pretty much copied the data into my software. None of the charts had sources, but the manuscript did. The information came from an architect, a doctor, an archivist, a now Certified Genealogist and a lawyer, so I was very lucky...but remember they didn't source. I had lots of work to do because of that.

As you'll see, each example is different, and none were done on computers. I'll show them in the order that I received and include a brief description.

1. Several months after working at the DAR, a staff genealogist who was helping me with my line, surprised me with a nine-generation lineage chart, and more information as a gift. I wrote about this in a blog, seen HERE. I was in shock. You probably can't see it, but I didn't even know my grandfather's marriage or death date.

9 generation chart

2. Two years later, I received a rolled up sheet, measuring 30" x 43" from my uncle, containing our genealogy. It was based on my grandfather's information done in 1957. This was a total surprise. There was a notation that he (uncle) updated a few things (new births, deaths and marriages). What I liked were the 13 stars indicating military service. However, as shown below, it was very hard to follow the lines, and there were some errors.

Full chart spread across the bed.

3. Ten years after I began my research, I went to Canada to get copies of the records my archivist cousin donated to a Historical Society. Below are a few examples. The first is a partial descendant report beginning with my fifth great-grandfather. The second report is the first page of six showing the family tree.

4. A year later, I received a huge package of information from a distant cousin, I believe he was ending his research, but I don't believe he actually did this work. Below are three very large sheets, (the top, middle and bottom, when put together would make an enormous page), showing the descendants of Hendrick Schrambling. A descendant, Henry Scrambling was my Revolutionary War Patriot, and I was obsessed with this line, even before I received this gift. The family arrived in New York ca. 1710 and I had an easy time tracing the lines until the later years when the family changed their spelling to Scramlin and other variations, so these sheets helped immensely.

5. The pages below are from a manuscript my great-great grandfather wrote. It is located at the New England Historic Genealogical Society's library. By the time I discovered this, most my Poole line had been completed by me, because many resources and sources are plentiful in Massachusetts. I still have not read all the pages and I know there are things I'll need to add, after I check for sources. My post about my discovery is shown HERE and the first 25 pages shown HERE. I purposely left the pages below because of the "tabular" chart, parts of a will and transcript from a cemetery stone, so they can be read.

manuscript is over 200 pages, and includes transcribed wills and cemetery tombstones.

Newberry of Connecticut and Michigan

A Bridge to the Past

One of my oldest and dearest genealogy friends passed away last March. I learned of her passing when I called her in Michigan (I live in Massachusetts) to share some news. Her grand-daughter answered the phone and gave me the news. One of her favorite lines was the Newberry family, out of Connecticut and migrated to Michigan. We were 5th cousins, once removed and our shared line was Scrambling.

Because she had sent me her report on the Newberry family, I've decided to share it. I think she would be happy I did. Unfortunately, I don't have sources, but can tell you that she was a member of several genealogy clubs and had been doing genealogy way longer than my 23 years.

It is pretty interesting to think that two people can connect through a building and an occupation, not just through genealogy (we are 5th cousins, once removed). My 2nd great-grandfather, William Frederick Poole, was the first librarian at the Newberry Library and her 2nd great-uncle provided the funds to have the library built.  The above paragraph was written for my blog post, which may be read HERE.

Old Settler Gone -- Obituary

               Old Settler Gone.

Silas Scramlin died at his home in

this city Monday night, April 22, at

about 11 o’clock after a long illness.

His ailment was one of those that defied

medical skill, and all knew that

sooner or later it would end his life.

Yet during the years that he suffered

He bore his affliction bravely hoping

That something might be done to prolong

his life. He was not confined to

his bed until last Sunday.

He was born in Ostego county,

County, [sic] N. Y. Feb. 24, 1824, and was

83 years, 1 month and 28 days of age.

In 1849 he came to Momence and settled

on a farm in section 9 in Ganeer

Township, where he remained for several

years. Later he made an overland

trip to California, returning in

1859, braving the dangers of such a

trip those days. On July 4, 1862, he

was united in marriage to Miss Christina

Moe, and to them one daughter

was born, Alice Theresa, the wife of

Walter A. Brown of this city.

In August of 1862, Mr. Scramlin

heeded the call to arms and enlisted

In the 76^th Illinois volunteers and

served nearly three years. On May

28, 1863, while on picket duty at

Vicksburg he received a severe would

that caused him great suffering then

and in later years as well. Upon his

return home at the close of the war he

purchased a farm about three miles

southwest of Momence where he resided

until about seventeen years ago

when he gave up active farm life and

came into this city to live. Mr.

Scramlin was a man of a retiring nature,

Yet kind to his neighbors and

friends, and ever ready to assist when

occasion demanded.

He is survived by his wife and

daughter, two brothers who reside in

Minnesota, and a sister Mrs. Hanna of

Idaho. The funeral services were

held from the Episcopal Church on

Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock,

conducted by Rev. T. C. Eglin, and

the remains taken to the Momence

Cemetery for burial. The members of

the G. A. R. and W. R. C. attended

the services in respect to the memory

of their deceased comrade and brother.

Copy of obituary from Gary Hanna (March 2013)

Silas Scramlin was my first cousin 4x removed.

Farmon, twin of Harmon, Scramlin Obituary

Copy of obituary from Gary Hanna (March 2013)

Farmon Scramlin was my first cousin 4x removed.

          Mr. Farmon Scramlin died at the

home of his son-in-law, Jay Sanstrom,

Thursday forenoon, June 30, at about

9:15. Mr. Scramlin was at work hoeing

among the out door plants at the

greenhouse Tuesday forenoon, and was

apparently in his usual health. At

about 11 o’clock he was seen at work,

and a short time later he was found

lying on the ground in an unconscious

condition. He was carried to Mr. A.

Melby’s residence where his son-in-

law lives, and medical aid summoned

all that could be done was restore

consciousness, but without avail, and

he gradually failed and he breathed

his last at the hour above stated.

Mr. Scramlin was born in Charleston,

Michigan, May 11, 1841, and in

1850 came to this county with his

parents. In June 1864 he enlisted in

Co. H, 76^th Ill. Inf., and went to the

front. He served with his regiment

through the war, and at Ft. Blakely

was wounded in the right arm. At

the close of the war he returned here

and took a position as clerk in Patterson’s

hardware department, learning the tinner’s trade.

In 1871 he formed a partnership with W. Astle

in the hardware business. Later the

partnership ended and Mr. Scramlin

went into the same business in Grant

Park, remaining there seven years; he

then traveled for two years for the

Temple Pump Co. He then engaged

in farming, which he followed until

1888, when he moved into town.

During his long residence in this

city he made many friends who deeply

regret his sudden death. He was a successful

man in business as well as in farming,

and only gave up the latter when

compelled to do so on account of

the weight of years and ill health.

On October 3, 1872, Mr. Scramlin

was married to Miss Mary Lamport.

To them one daughter was born, Lura

M., the wife of J. Sanstrom. The wife

also survives him.

            Mr. Scramlin was a Mason, being a

charter member of the Grant Park

lodge, and was also a member of Worcester

Post, No. 627 G. A. R. In his death

these societies have lost a most

consistent and valued member.

            The funeral services will be held

from his late residence on West Fourth

Street tomorrow, Saturday, afternoon

At 2 o’clock.
