He Changed His Name To Hide!

The longer you do your genealogy research, the more you realize that not all ancestors told the truth. We want them truthful in order for us to follow their past. But what if they changed their name? What if they came from another country? What if the well-known Canadian beer, Molson, could have been named after your ancestor? A lot of what if's. All these are facts, and solved, over time, because the middle name of my ancestor was actually his surname, and an author wrote a book about John Molson. Once in a while we get lucky.


James Pell Jr., was one of the original 35 Associates who received land in 1796 which formed the first township in Lower Canada. I'm fortunate to have a lot of information on him, since, he and several generations of Pells lived in that area. But, it wasn't until a cousin and I merged our information that things got interesting. I hadn't considered looking further back into England to trace the line, I stop once they set foot in North America. He, on the other had, has the surname of Pell, so he was more curious. During a seven year span, we researched, and merged, wondered and often, well no, we didn't often think about giving up. Where was James Pell from? There was no trace of him or his parents in England.


In 2007, cousin Duane Pell informed me of a rather new book, Molson, The Birth of a Business Empire by Douglas Hunter. He couldn't put it down, as it was not only interesting, but filled with Pell and Gibbins information. We soon found out there was name change. The last name of Pell was taken when James Gibbins Sr., several of his sons, including the above James Pell, and a very young John Molson, founder of the Molson Brewing Company of Canada, arrived in Canada sometime during the 1780s.  During this migration, many letters were written between these sailors and their families back in England. Fortunately, letters and diaries were saved and are now in the Molson Brewery Archives. We soon were shaking our heads in disbelief, but were happy. The line went back a further generation, but now there was a new surname, no longer Pell but Gibbins. My cousin tried to get used to the fact that he really was a Gibbins!


John Molson was often called home to help with estate matters. During those trips, my James Pell Sr. (formerly James Gibbins) was left in charge of the new brewery. While in England, John stayed at James Gibbins's daughter's house, she being a possible bride. Per the above book, "And by bequeathing the brewery to Gibbins 'and his Heirs and Assigns forever' in the March 1785 will, Molson made Ann Gibbins Elsdales (a widow) and the (her) children among the ultimate beneficiaries of his estate." 


Apparently, there was a break, a few years later, in the friendship between John Molson and James Gibbons / Pell.  Probably due to either money or  with mismanagement of the brewery. James Sr. returned to England several times for visits, then ultimately staying there, using the name of James Gibbins, and his son, James Gibbins Pell Jr. remained in Missisquoi County, Quebec, and kept the name of Pell.


James Gibbins Pell Jr., my 4th great grandfather was born about October 12, 1759 in Spalding, So. Lincolnshire, England, and died January 28, 1846 in St. Armand East, now called Frelighsburg, Missisquoi Co., Quebec, Canada. His first wife's name is unknown, with whom he had two children, but his 2nd wife, Margaret Brisbin and James Pell are buried in Frelighsburg as shown by their graves recently posted.


Towards the end of the Molson book, there are some interesting quotes, one in particular caught my eye. In a letter to Molson, written by a future brother-in-law, "Your guardian Companion Gibbins is among us and doing God only knows what. Gibbins is a very free spoken plausible genius. I rather more than suspect him to be an hypocrite and that he is not over and above addicted to the crime of veracity." There is also a statement that his own daughter banished James Gibbins from her house.
Yes, there's one in every family.


My cousin and I prepared a paper, and had it bound, then sent it to the Missisquoi Historical Archives in Stanbridge East, Quebec. The family was one of the earliest settlers of that area, and it was important to let future researchers of the Pell line know there isn't one. They need to follow the Gibbins line in England instead. Six months after we submitted our documentation, I went to Salt Lake City and discovered a marriage record of James Gibbins's parents. William Gibbons married Sarah Pell on 30 May 1722 at Algarkirk, Lincoln, England.  I now know where the name Pell came from.

Obituary Poem for Bill West's Second Great American Local Poem Genealogy Challenge

For Bill West's Second Great American Local Poem Genealogy Challenge I have decided to enter a poem I recently received from my distant cousin, Claire. She in turn, received it from somebody trying to solve her own Adams "Brick Wall." Upon reading it, I realized it was a a story of a person's life, more like an obituary.  The only thing missing are the names of his parents, and the year of birth and death. Everything else is in, including his wife's name, years married and her father's name. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks Bill and I'm glad I'm participating in your challenge.

A LONG LIFE ENDED

At his son's house near the village,

  JASON ADAMS, ninety-three,

On the twenty-eighth of February

  Pass'd into eternity.

In Connecticut our subject,

  On the ninteenth of July,

In the county of New London,

  Like us all, was born to to die.

He was vigorous and rugged,

  And of Anglo-Saxon stock--

From the May-flow'r his grandfather

  Landed safe at Plymouth Rock.

Zachary Mann, his wife's father,

  Fought on fields where blood did run,

In the awful revolution,

  Under Gen'ral Washington.

He was present when the British

  Put the torch to Buffalo ;

And for us he used the musket

  In our fight with Mexico.

And was proud when Montezuma

  To defeat was found a prey,

And in triumph told the story,

  E'en upon his dying day.

He removed to Massachusetts

  When a lad of seventeen.

Where he Betsey Mann did marry

  With the virtue of a dean ;

With his wife he went to Bergen

  In the county Genesee,

And removed from there to Sheldon

  At the age of twenty-three.

'Mong the wolves, wildcats and panthers,

  Came our subject with his wife,

To the hardships was accustom'd

  Incident to frontier life.

He was sire of youths and maidens--

  Some are numbered with the dead,

And the years were sixty-seven

  Which were spent with her he wed.

He in life enjoyed religion,

  Died as Christians always die,

And his soul released from bondage,

  To the breast of God did fly.

And his children and their children

  And their children's children, too,

Will with him unite, if faithful,

  Heaven's King in glory view.

F. S. NOATMAN

As a genealogist, I just had to find out about Jason Adams, but it wasn't easy. One person had him and Betsey Mann in their tree, but no other information, and no sources. I discovered a Jason Adams mentioned in several newspapers, one dated March 12, 1887, stated, "Jason Adams, of Java, N. Y. aged 93, is dead." and a paper from Castile, N. Y. has "He was the oldest son of the late Jason Adams, who died in this village February 1887, aged 93." The person who located the poem said it was from a Warsaw, New York newspaper. So based on these facts, I believe it is the same person. All three towns are in Wyoming County, New York.

With the above information and his calculated birth year of 1794, I was able to locate him, his wife Betsey and children in the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census. In 1880 Jason was 86 years old and died seven years later at age 93. It is nice to know I found my man.

Delight Adams Benham and Is There a Story?

In the beginning there wasn't any special reason for writing about Delight Adams, other than I love her name, and her documents provided many clues to her family, that being of my 3rd great grandparents. I posted a Copy of her Will and her Obituary. She was born June 29, 1819 in Batavia, Genesee Co., New York and died 79 years later.  Her death certificate proved valuable to me when in April 1999, I was able to discover the name of her parent's birth places and the maiden name of her mother. Considering this death certificate was dated July 3, 1898, I was pretty fortunate. I was used to getting those records from some New England states, but this one from New York was a surprise. Her occupation was listed as an invalid! My poor second great-aunt.


The death record is the smallest size of any I have received, shown below.

I have  blogged about two of her nephews. The first, Yates Adams, was discussed in A Suicide or a Murder.  Her other nephew was John Anderson Adams, the manufacturer of vanilla and discussed in Google and the Movies.

From these three documents, I have been able to place all the people named and find additional bits of information. Delight did not have any children, but when she married Franklin Benham, he was a widower with an infant and a toddler, thus she immediately became a step-mother. It was interesting that, in her will, she left nothing to her step-sons. However, six years after her death, one of the sons named his daughter, Delight presumably after her.

She was buried at Batavia Pioneer Cemetery, Batavia, Genesee Co., New York, per several old records, but my cousin was unable to locate a stone on a recent visit there.

With such a pretty name of Delight, I like to think she was happy most of her life. Her ending was pretty sad, being an invalid, but for her Benham in-laws, it was tragic.

I really wanted to find something interesting about her, in other words, I wanted to write a story, not just show copies of documents. With a bit of time, I soon began rolling in information. I had material for a Hollywood movie...murder of a wife, a sentence to death, a reprieve from Gov. Roosevelt, another trial, acquittal, a father who mismanaged money of his deceased daughter-in-law and more. The New York Times, and other newspapers covered this story for almost three years. I will be writing a follow-up. Stay tuned.

Tombstone Tuesday -- TEN EYCK (3 Generations) Quebec, Canada

The Ten Eyck Cemetery, is located on private property in an Apple Orchard in Dunham, Missisquoi Co., Quebec, Canada. Three generations of direct ancestors of mine were buried here. Because of their relationship to me, and their history, this cemetery discovery was one of my favorite thrills in all my discoveries. It sure helped that the family has been on this land for over 200 years.

Not On The Railroad Tracks!

My great-grandmother died a terrible death. At age 69 she should have been living the good life, and enjoying her three great-grandchildren. But with her mother's death the year before and her husband's death three years prior, Mira Kilborn Bishop slipped into depression. She had one child, my grandfather, and I can only assume he tried to cheer her up. But, he was married with three children under ten, commuted to New York City from Connecticut, to work as an architect, so I doubt he was around much to help his mother.

I ordered her death certificate March 1991, as I needed this proof for my DAR papers. So I've known a long time about her death. But it wasn't until this past week that I decided to see about getting an obituary, only 19 years later. Then I thought of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (RAOGK), something I've never used, but have heard great things about. So, I wrote and requested an obituary on November 11th. On the third day, there it was, an email with a copy attached from a wonderful volunteer. Not quite an obituary, but the write-up about the "accident." Mona Rhone was super, I couldn't believe how fast she was in getting to to me, I didn't even have the chance to be impatient. Thank you Mona, and she already knows she will hear from me again.


Below are the copies of the newspaper article and death certificate.

WRIGHT (3 Generations) Connecticut

The WRIGHT line was the first I worked on, because my mother and great-grandmother used ASHER WRIGHT as their DAR patriot. Therefore, I had a great start, and lots of information at hand. I have very little information about the other names in the tree, and hope somebody will find this information useful, or offer to share their own data. My direct lines are in green.  If you have any of these names and wish to share information, please contact me.
