WikiTree

This week I registered with WikiTree.  I became interested when I noticed there was some information about the Predmore family of Pike and Adams counties in Illinois.  At this point I don't know whether this is something I'll want to use.  I put this post together to help me, and hopefully others, learn more about the application.

Making Contact

Making Contact With McCook, Nebraska

Off and on, over many years of gathering genealogy information, I have attempted to establish contact with the branch of my Henthorn family living in McCook, Red Willow county, Nebraska.  I've never had much success.  These folks are descendants of my great uncle, John Douglas Henthorn of Aurora, Hamilton county, Nebraska.

Out of the blue, on Sunday November 25th, the thought came to me that I ought to see if there was a page for the town of McCook on Facebook.  I quickly discovered that 961 people had visited, and "Liked" the McCook page.  I scrolled through all of the people who'd liked the page and found one Henthorn couple, Roger and Linda.  Linda is the Facebook member.  I sent her a private message to introduce myself.  We exchange several messages and Email addresses as we quickly established our common heritage.

Today I added new information Linda shared to my RootsMagic file.  Then I created a three-page Descendant Chart in PDF format showing the information I have about Roger's father and his descendants.  I sent Linda that report as an Email attachment.

Roger and Dick are second cousins, once removed.  Their common ancestors are, John Henthorn and Betty Holt, who were the great-grandparents of Dick.  John and Betty lived near Fishhook, Pike county, Illinois.  Dick visited Pike county once.  Some of his cousins from that area are friends on Facebook.

Pike County Illinois Families

Pike County Illinois Families

To get the year 2011 started off on the right foot today I created and uploaded four genealogy reports about Pike County, Illinois families. The reports were created from my RootsMagic genealogy file. The reports are in the PDF format and they reside in My Box on Box.net. Access to the reports is by invitation only.

• Guy Louis Dougherty (11 pages)
• Jacob Joshua Stauffer (76 pages)
• Wells Cooley (176 pages)
• Abraham Henthorn (329 pages)

The reports for the Henthorn and Stauffer families replaced information that was previously shared on Box.Net. There is some duplication between the various reports because the four families are linked by marriage.

Stauffer Family of Pike County, Illinois

Last week I found an obituary for Maud Ellen (Stauffer) Carroll on the Internet. She died on 5 Apr 2009 at Mt. Sterling, (Brown Co.,) Illinois. I already had a record for her in my genealogy file but didn't have the information about her descendants that could be extracted from the obituary. I enjoyed including a copy of the obituary in her "note" field and adding the information about the members of her family.

This morning I created a nice 73-page PDF report that lists everything in my genealogy file about the Stauffer family, many of whom are from Pike Co., Illinois the location of my own Henthorn roots.

Remember the Days of Long Ago

Remember the days of long ago; think about the generations past. Ask your father and he will inform you. Inquire of your elders, and they will tell you. (Deuteronomy 32:7 in The One-Year Mini For Men, 27 May)

Yesterday I discovered a couple of pages of information about some members of the Stauffer family of Pike county, Illinois. There's a link between the Stauffer family and my own Henthorn family. The most interesting thing was that Beverly Ann Stauffer married Richard David Conger, Jr. I have also done a lot of work on the Conger family. I checked my Conger file to see if I could figure out where Richard David Conger, Jr. fits into that family. I couldn't.

John Henthorn of Pike Co., Illinois

John Henthorn

John Henthorn, son of Abraham and Mary Henthorn, was born on 20 Apr 1820, somewhere in Lancashire, England.

It is believed that he is the John Henthorn who was baptized at Royton, Lancaster, England on 24 Jun 1842.

John learned weaving by the hand loom in England and work at the weaving trade, probably around Manchester, in the area of Shaw, Crompton, and Oldham.

John Henthorn of Crompton, Lancaster, England, a weaver, son of Abraham Henthorn, a weaver, was married, 24 Jun 1842, to Betty Holt, of Crompton, a spinster, and daughter of Abraham Holt, a weaver, at the parish church in the Parish of Prestwich in the County of Lancaster, England. Witnesses were: James Greaves and James Sheldrick.

He was one of eight children, most of whom came to IL. With his brother Charles, he emigrated to America in 1844, stopped first in New York state, where for 2 years he superintended a factory where 62 looms were run.

They moved to Adams county, IL in 1850 and to Pike county in 1852. By 1880 he owned 360 acres of land, in good cultivation and well stocked. He was School Director several terms and was a Democrat. (Source: the "History of Pike County, IL 1880.")

BIOGRAPHY JOHN HENTHORN

John Henthorn, a pioneer of Pike County, a highly successful farmer of Fairmount Township, and a worthy citizen, this gentleman enjoys the esteem of his acquaintances. His estate which is located on section 17, comprises four hundred acres of land and is considered one of the most valuable pieces of property in this section of the country. The residence which was erected in 1878 is located on an eminence and commands an excellent view of the larger part of Fairmount Township. Altogether the homestead is one of which Mr. Henthorn may be justly proud for it represents the results of his own unaided toil.

England was the birthplace of our subject and in Lancastershire, April 20, 1820, he was born to Abraham and Mary Henthorn, also natives of England. The parental family included eight children most of who are located in Illinois. In company with his brother Charles our subject came to the United States in 1844 and has since continued to reside in this country. Prior to coming hither he received a common education in England and there learned the trade of weaver.

The marriage of our subject was solemnized in Lancastershire, England, May 27, 1842, when Miss Betty Holt, a daughter of Abraham and Anna (Holt) Holt became his wife. The parents of Mrs. Henthorn were English people and lived in the old country until quite advanced in years and then emigrated to the United States. They first located in the State of New York whence they removed to Adams County, Ill., and there died. They were weavers in their native land but engaged in farming after coming to America.

Mrs. Henthorn was a lady of refinement and culture, universally beloved for her many noble traits of heart and mind. She accompanied her husband to America where for many years she labored side by side with him and was of material assistance to him. She passed from the scenes of an active existence October 26, 1880, at the age of fifty-seven years. Her death was mourned throughout the whole community where they lived so long. She was a consistent Christian, a true wife and a wise and loving mother.

The children born to Mr. Henthorn and his estimable wife are named as follows: Mary C., who died September 7, 1845; Sarah, Mrs. E. F. Cooley, resides on a farm in Fairmount Township; Abraham who resides in Hadley Township married Miss Anna Cory; Franklin P. is a resident of Fairmount Township and married a lady who bore the maiden name of Miss Jane Weaver; John D. is a resident of Aurora, Neb., and his wife prior to her marriage was Miss Mattie J. Phillips; Janie, Mrs. John Lewis, is a resident of Miami County, Kan., Charles married Miss Minnie J. Powers and lives in Aurora, Neb., William H. who was united in marriage with Miss Mary A. Rust, lives in Fairmount Township.

The tract of land owned and operated by Mr. Henthorn is under excellent cultivation and he keeps on his place the latest improvements in farming machinery and follows the most approved methods in cultivation of the soil. The buildings are substantial and conveniently located and excellently adapted for their various purposes. From time to time our subject has added to his original purchase which was made in Fairmount Township in 1884, until the estate is now a very large one and is widely known as Fairview Farm. Prior to coming to Pike County Mr. Henthorn passed eighteen months in Adams County, this State, but has never regretted his removal here. He belongs to the Democratic party and manifests great interest in both National and local politics, having often been called upon to fill offices of trust and responsibility. He is a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church to which his wife also belonged.

The father of our subject was a weaver by trade and when later improvements caused the hand loom to go out of use he entered this factories of Lancaster and died at a very advanced age. The mother also passed her entire life and finally died in Lancaster. Both parents were members of the Church of England. (Source: "Portrait and Biographical Album" Pike Co., IL, pages 526-527)

Census: 1880, in Pike Co, IL, Fairmount Twp. In the 1880 census he was listed as a farmer. Besides his wife the following children were listed as living at home: John, Jun., 22, son, farmer; Charles, 19, farm laborer; William, 15, farm laborer; and Susan Scoutan, 35, servant.

DEATH: Date of Death, 21 Aug 1895, from gravestone in Woodland Cemetery, Pike Co., IL. Woodland Cemetery is located alongside of the road leading directly south from Fishhook, IL.

Note: John Henthorn was born on 20 Apr 1820 in Lancashire, England. He died on 21 Aug 1895 at Fishhook, Pike Co., IL. He was the great-grandfather of researcher, Dick Henthorn.

Henthorn, Abraham

Recollections

of

Abraham Henthorn

on the

Occasion of his 92nd Birthday

July 1940

Abe Henthorn of Baylis celebrated his 92nd birthday Monday. Born July
22, 1848 in Matteawan, New York, he came with his parents to Illinois
when he was a child of two. They settled near Fish Hook, and except
for five years spent in Christian county, Mr. Henthorn has since been
a resident of Pike.

Mr. Henthorn was the oldest child in a family of eight born to John
and Betty Holt Henthorn, both natives of England. His brothers and
sisters were Mary, who was born in New York and died in infancy; Mrs.
Sarah Cooley, Frank, Doug, Mrs. Jane Lewis, Charley and Will. One
sister and two brothers are living; Mrs. Lewis is resident of Drexel,
MO., and Doug and Charley live in Nebraska.

Both his father and his maternal grandfather were weavers in England.
The Holts, parents of his mother, lived in Lancashire, where the
grandfather, Abraham (for whom he was named), was a boss weaver in
charge of many looms in a factory. A strike among the workers sent
the entire Holt family (including their daughter Betty and her husband
John Henthorn, parents of Abraham) to America.

Abraham Holt, after the strike had gone on for some time and he had
found that what odd jobs he could pick up did not provide enough for
the family to live on, told his wife one day that he was going to
America. When he made enough money, he'd send for the rest of them.
But he reckoned without the determination of his wife that sent the
whole family to the new world. Said she, "If you go, I go. And if I
go, the children go." Abraham argued a while; when he couldn't get
work enough in England to keep his family, he didn't see how he could
afford to take them all to America. But Mrs. Holt was adamant--"If
one goes, we all go." And she kept saying it.

Their grandson, recalling the life in England, told the reporter
Sunday that his grandparents were thrifty folks. "Unbeknownst to each
other, and out of a small salary, both husband and wife were
accustomed to put by a little money," said Mr. Henthorn. When Holt
received his weekly pay, he gave his wife money for housekeeping and
current bills. He took out his own "ale money," as did every working
husband in England in those times. But he didn't drink the ale that
every other man did as a matter of custom. The "ale money" was his
own next egg. Meantime out of her meager housekeeping allowance, Mrs.
Holt managed to save a little. Without telling each other, husband
and wife had each saved up for an emergency.

Mrs. Holt kept insisting on the family exodus to America, and her
husband, after making a trip to Liverpool to inquire about the cost of
passage, finally brought out his little hoard and they counted it
together. Said he, "Well, it will pay for our passage but there won't
be a penny left over when we get to America." Not until then did his
wife reveal that she too had saved some money. It was enough to
guarantee a living until Mr. Holt could get a job in America.

So the Holt family, together with Betty and John Henthorn, went to
Liverpool and took passage on a sailing vessel. The ship sailed but a
few days out to sea, the vessel sprung a leak and had to return to
Liverpool for repairs. The passengers were required to remain on
board the ship if they wanted food and shelter, for the company
refused to run the risk of having them wander around Liverpool,
although Abraham went ashore a few times. Again the voyage began, and
this time was successful. The Holts had been more than three months on the way and by the time they landed in New York, they were heartily sick of sailing vessels and the sea.

Abraham Holt, was a good weaver, and he found the industry in the
United States crying out for men with his experience. He got a job
immediately, and a little later secured a better job. A factory with
a huge contract for prints found that Lancashire Abraham was the man
they were looking for. Abraham could "set a pattern." He didn't brag
about his ability, however, but cautiously talked the officials into
standing the loss if anything went wrong, before he would venture on
the job. They did guarantee to stand any losses, an unusual
arrangement for the day, but Abraham proved himself a fine workman and
his job was assured. And yet it wasn't long before he decided to come
west and farm.

John Henthorn worked in the east at the looms, and later as a "boss
weaver," too, with other men under him. When Abraham Holt went west,
John and his wife Betty stayed on another year or so in New York;
their son Abraham was born there, and the little daughter who died in
infancy. Then they followed the elder Abraham to Adams county, coming
by boat over the canal and the Ohio river to Cario, then up the
Mississippi to Quincy. This was about 1850. Their work as expert
weavers left behind, neither Abraham Holt nor John Henthorn ever held
such a job again. Both became farmers.

The Henthorns settled first in the southeast corner of Adams county,
then near Fish Hook. John bought 160 acres where the Fish Hook store
later stood., and after a while purchased another 160 across the road.
He built the house and barn which still stand on the nearby hill.
John later acquired another 80 acres east of the store site, owning
400 acres at that time.

Young Abraham helped his father on the farm, breaking the prairie
behind ox teams hitched to plows. He and Sarah, the oldest daughter
of the family, both worked at plowing, with two yokes of oxen hitched
to one plow. There was much timber, and breaking the new ground was
no picnic.

The family lived well for the times, but there were no luxuries. Mr.
Henthorn was too young to enlist for Civil war service, but he
remembers the table privations. "Biscuits and white bread were a
rarity," he says, "we had cornbread most of the time and were glad to
get it."

He had his first suit of clothes when he was 18. He was as well
dressed as other boys of the day but his new suit was tailored for him
alone from cloth made of the wool from his father's sheep. There was
a woolen mill just west of Barry, where the Weber Spring tourist camp
now stands. As was the custom, his father took the wool from his
flock of sheep and went to the mill to have it made into cloth. A
neighbor woman came to their home to "work up," the cloth into
garments and blankets. She tailored Abe's first suit and also made
him an overcoat.

This sewing was of course by hand. Abe remembers his mother's first
sewing machine, a little one that was fastened to the table and was
used mostly for the women's clothes, being too light for the men's
garments. Sarah, then about 18, soon got the hang of the new machine
and did most of the sewing for the women of the family. Years later
his mother got a Singer sewing machine.

Abe went to a log school, over the foundation of which the gravel road
north of Fish Hook is now being laid. The road bed goes over the
foundation of the Fish Hook store too. His first teacher was Amy
Green, who got the school at the age of 18; Abe recalls the grown
folks talking about Amy's youth for there were few 18-year-old
teachers in that section. His second teacher was Emily Smith. He
knew Emily quite well later in life when her niece and his wife were
friends. She lived in a story-and-a-half frame house in the west part
of Griggsville, and he thinks it is still standing.

When he was 10 years old, Abe Henthorn heard Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas debate in Quincy. It was his first trip to the
city, and he went with his father and grandfather. He was impressed
with the torchlight parade; "they have nothing to equal it nowadays,"
he says.

When he was 21, Abe struck out for himself. He worked two years for
his uncle, John Sykes of Beverly, and that was the last time in his
life that he worked for another man. Ever after he was "on his own."
In 1871, the year of the Chicago fire, Abe married Margaret Anna Cory,
daughter of Edwin and Mary Jane Cory. The ceremony was held at the
bride's home, and the Rev. Wingate Newman, Methodist preacher at
Baylis, officiated.

They lived first on a farm belonging to William Morrison, his wife's
grandfather, on South Prairie. After a year there, Abe and his wife
moved to a farm near Pana, but five years later came back to Pike
county and purchased the Ira Wilson farm on South Prairie where they
lived three years. Then began a series of farm purchases which
extended over a long period of years. Mr. Henthorn has owned many
hundreds of acres in his time, but always sold one farm before buying
another.

He bought a place in Hadley township a mile west of Baylis; then 100
acres northwest of Baylis, and built a house near the cemetery (now
the Kline Hill farm; the house is occupied by Will Riggs). They lived
for 19 months on 140 acres at New Salem then on a farm of 160 acres
south of Fish Hook, after which he bought 820 acres across the road.
Selling that, he purchased 160 acres a mile south of Baylis, then a
140-acre place two miles northeast of Baylis, and finally 40 acres
three miles northeast of the town, which he traded for property in New
Salem, and was at last out of the farming business.

Many another man, moving around as did Abe Henthorn, would have ended
up with nothing. Other men have moved as often, and never worked for
themselves. Abe Henthorn has always been "on his own," however, and
he always made money. True, he lost some when farm prices went down,
but he never asked another man for help. He was never afraid of work,
from the time he started out breaking the prairie behind an ox team,
but fashion changes, in farming as in other trades, and Abe Henthorn
declares today, "I wouldn't know how to farm with all the new
machinery."

Mr. and Mrs. Henthorn had no children of their own., but they reared
the late Stella Calvert Moore, who married Colonel Moore, and her four
children call him "Grandfather."

Mr. Henthorn lives a placid, pleasant life. He is in fairly good
health and although he is hard of hearing, he is a good
conversationalist and friends enjoy visiting with him. He still has
most of his own teeth, although he is afraid he may have to make a
trip to the dentist soon. He doesn't eat a lot but he says, "I like
anything good to eat--I'm not finicky."

He follows the news of the day in the papers. "If there's another
war, I will have lived through four,"he says. "The Civil war--I was
too young to go, until just at the last; the Spanish-American, the
first World war, and now maybe another one." A life-long Democrat, he
has read The Republican for years and usually pays his subscription in
person at the office. He doesn't approve of the third term for
Roosevelt, but says he "doesn't know much about this other
man--Wilkie--yet. Mrs. Frannie Bradshaw Hall has taken care of him
and kept house for him, most of the time since the death of his wife
on Sept. 3, 1934. Mr. Henthorn is a member of the United Brethren
church, as was his wife, but doesn't attend much any more, since he
can't hear well.

Just before the reporter left, Mr. Henthorn brought out one of his
treasures, a weaver's glass which belonged to his grandfather. It is
a tiny magnifying glass through which the "boss weaver," Abraham Holt,
used to count the number of threads "to the quarter," in the work
under inspection. It was his responsibility to see that just the
right number of threads went into the cloth. One thread too few and
the bolt of cloth weighed light; one thread too many and it weighed
too much. Mr. Henthorn has kept the microscope in its little case
these many years. Through it can be seen the regular weaving of a
piece of cloth, spread out so that the finest handkerchief shows up
like a window screen.

The Republican enjoyed its visit with Mr. Henthorn, and joins his
many friends in wishing him peace and good health, and many happy
returns of the day.
