Westovers and More -- Surname Saturday

The number of Westovers in my tree hovers around 920. I can't say I know where they all lived or what their lines were. My Westover line started in England, moved to Connecticut, then Massachusetts, where my ancestor was both a Revolutionary War patriot and then became a Loyalist and moved to Canada.


When reader Darlene wrote recently about her line who lived in Westover, Pennsylvania, I did a quick check of my file and discovered I had only a few from her line. When she sent a listing of at least 160 Westovers buried in the Westover Baptist Church Cemetery (in Chest Twp., Clearfield County, Pennsylvania), I knew this was going to become a nice project of mine.

Wintonbury NO Bloomfield, Connecticut

A "Brick Wall" of 15 years is long enough, and I felt it was time for me to try and knock it down. Why it is so difficult to solve? I am not just looking for a John Adams, I am looking for his town also, a town no longer in existence. Last year, I was able to get one generation back, and, thanks to my cousin, found the above John buried in Elba, Genesee Co., New York. Now, who were his parents?

From the beginning. all of four years ago, I discovered that my ancestor, John Adams married Hannah Smith in Wintonbury, Connecticut. How did I know? It was from a deposition in his Revolutionary War Pension & Bounty Land Application Files, Revolutionary War Pension Records.  Series: M804  Roll: 12.  File: W23415 (Waltham, MA, viewed Aug. 12, 2008), "He married August 15, 1790, in the Parish of Wintonbury, Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut, Hannah Smith, who was born in January, 1771."

I had learned that even though Wintonbury wasn't on the map, Bloomfield, Connecticut was. Before I contact the historical society, I decided to take a ride to the town one quiet hot Sunday. That morning everything was closed, and I enjoyed the quiet and abundant parking spaces for my frequent stops for photo taking.

My ancestors were in this town in 1796. John Adams didn't move to Genesee Co., New York until 1812.

After seeing the parcel of land with the three buildings belonging to the Historical Society, we drove to the center of Bloomfield, since Wintonbury changed its name to Bloomfield in 1835.

There was more to see, so on to the town green and then locate the Old Wintonbury Cemetery, which I felt would provide a wealth of information...I was ready to go cemetery hunting, locating all the Adams and Smiths I could find.

Although I haven't solved my Brick Wall as to who John Adams' parents were, I am learning a lot about the town. These photos show you better than I could ever explain. In the next post, I'll list all the sources I've found online, what information I could use, and what I plan on doing to continue my research.

The booklet, Images of America Bloomfield, by the Wintonbury Historical Society shows some images of the town and provides history.

Bloomfield Village Green.

My plans for tombstone searching fell apart once I saw the tall grass and the condition of the cemetery. And, with the high temperature and humidity, I didn't mind spending time there. Maybe another time.

What did it say?

Was it Washington or William who was Killed at 85?

Sometimes a second cousin, 4 times removed can drive you nuts. With a partial newspaper clipping of his death, all I had was the last name, and no idea who his daughter was. My quick solution was to ask for help from Susan Petersen of Long Lost Relatives blog to see if she subscribed to a newspaper database for her town, since the death of my Mr. Schrambling or Scrambling died there. I had just discovered a clue as to his first name. Below is what I wrote her.


"I have a partial news clipping, dated Sept. 20, 1933, from The Lincoln Star.  it is about a Mr. Schrambling who was killed by a Walton C. Roberts. Other clues didn't help because I don't have the married names of his daughters OR His first name. I googled Schrambling + Lincoln, and one thing that came up was FAG. Going to that, I saw..."

Schrambling, William 74737470 b. unknown d. Sep. 19, 1933

Wyuka Cemetery Lincoln Lancaster County Nebraska, USA

Within minutes, Susan found three newspaper articles all for a William Schrambling and his unfortunate death. But once my research began, I found nothing for William, but a lot for Washington W., who died the same date. Five censuses listed him as Washington or Wash (I am missing 1870, 1910 and 1930). It appears this man went by Washington or Wash, but his daughter, and Lincoln, Nebraska knew him as William.

The Lincoln Star, Sept. 20, 1933

"Injuries Fatal to Schrambling

County Farm Inmate

Struck by Car While

Walking in Road.

William Schrambling, 85, an inmate of the county farm was injured fatally when he stepped into the path of an automobile driven by Walton G. Roberts, 1515 L Street, about 7 o’clock Thursday evening, while walking on the highway near the farm about seven miles north of here.

County attorney Max Towle announced Wednesday morning that no inquest will be held in the death.

The injured man was brought to the Lincoln General hospital and died a few minutes after, death probably being caused by a concussion of the brain. He suffered a fractured left leg, fractures of the skull and numerous lacerations about the head. Medical attention was given by Dr. R. H. Sawyer.

Mr. Schrambling with Albert Tulley, another county inmate, was talking toward Lincoln on the west side of the road. Mr. Roberts and his wife, driving north, saw the men approaching and slowed down, he stated. Just as he came even with the men, he said Schrambling suddenly appeared in front of his car. He swerved in an attempt to avoid an impact, but the car had already struck the aged man.

It seemed that Schrambling apparently became excited and ran directly into the car after being safely on one side of the grade, according to information obtained by Deputy County Sheriff C. A. Hughart who investigated the accident. Tulley told officials that he tried vainly to pull Schrambling out of the way.

Mr. Schrambling has been at the farm about three weeks this fall, said Mrs. W. W. Scofield, farm matron. He spent the summer on a farm east of Lincoln. He was cared for at the farm last winter after being discovered living in a boxlike hut in an old building excavation at Ninth and O streets.

He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Agnes Sagenuk of Soulian, Mont. The body is at Roberts."

The Doll -- Treasure Chest Thursday

Additional photos of the doll my grandmother gave me, see my July 3rd post. All six pieces of clothing are removable. Please see below for another doll post in which the doll is in an identical high chair as mine. See Carol Bowen Stevens' Treasure Chest Thursday, the Googly Eye Doll, a Rerun Post.

Doll sits in handmade Amish highchair (for dolls).

February 12, 2013. I have noticed a large number of people looking at this site, and while I'm delighted, I am just a bit curious. Since it is just a photo of a old doll, I'm wondering if there is anything else you would like to see or want explained  Could you fill me in on why, during this week, so many of you are looking at it. Of course I am pleased. You could leave a comment here at the post or email me at: BarbaraPoole@Gmail.com.

The Doll and How Similar Were The Grandparents?

The doll was always displayed in our home, and I had always assumed it belonged to my mother. When I was given it as an adult, I was told it was mine and given to me years ago by a grandmother. I don't know which one, and now I'm curious. All these 40+ years, it's collected dust, and had a shoe damaged by a cat.

The outfit and entire body are handmade. I've washed all articles of clothing over the years, but not in the past 10. Does anybody know anything about this doll? Detailed photos will be posted on Thursday.


There is no way I can determine which grandmother gave it to me, because one lived 1,000+ miles away and the other 3,000. So it had to be mailed to me (my mother) in California. All this got me thinking about how similar my grandparents were. Based on what I know, it appears they were quite alike. However, I don't think they ever met, as my parents eloped prior to my father joining the Navy during WWII.


Anybody have an idea of who sent it to me?
