|
| 12670 | Born in Maryland, Morris America was an orphan who is said to have been a descendent of a Native American Indian mother and an Irish immigrant father. He was taken in by the Henry Duckworth family, also born in Maryland, who settled in the Greenwood area of Doddridge County. According to family legend, when Morris joined the military, he changed his last name to America, thus founding the America family name for future generations. However, it should be noted that Morris' surname was already America at age 4, when he was enumerated with the Duckworths in the 1850 Census, but then he was identified as Morris Spencer in the 1860 Census. Morris America's death record identifies his parents as Warmie Spencer and Nancy Spicer. Thus, the circumstances of his acquisition of the America surname remain unclear. 1850 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Jul 27 1850: Henry U. Duckworth, 38, farmer, value of real estate $1,500; Rhoda Duckworth, 27; Hannah Smar, 6; Morris America, 4.

Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, Oct 5 1916, in its entirety: "John Towner and Morris America of Central Station were circulating among their many friends here Saturday. It is needless to say that Morris done all the talking." 1920 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Central District), enumerated on Jan 20 1920: Morris America, 75, farmer; wife Mary A, 78.

| 12671 | Born in Maryland. Father born in Pennsylvania, mother born in West Virginia. | SWEITZER, Sarah Belle (I47471)
|
| 12672 | Born in Minnesota in 1881, Addison Brown moved from there to the state of Washington with his father in June 1893. Federal Census data of Jun 5 1900 identifies Addison Y. [sic] Brown, age 19, residing in Satsop, Chehalis County (now known as Grays Harbor County), Washington as a servant and farm laborer in the household of Edward F. Foster, b. Aug 1862 in Idaho. Addison's birthdate was given as Aug 1880 [sic], birthplace Minnesota, father's birthplace Massachusetts, mother's birthplace New York. Edward Foster's wife Mary was shown as born in Apr 1864 in West Virginia. The Fosters' neighbors were the family of Jasper and Virginia Mowry; they and the oldest five of their seven children were born in West Virginia, the younger two born in Washington. We can only speculate that it was through the Fosters and/or the Mowrys that Addison was somehow introduced to Nancy "Babe" Haught of Doddridge County and eventually came to West Virginia. This is supported by the fact that Jasper Mowry appeared in the 1870 Census of Doddridge County (New Milton Twp) as the 9-year-old son of George & Mary Mowry, and that Jasper N. Mowry & Jennie (nickname for Virginia) Knight were married in Doddridge County on Mar 10 1856. Census data of April 19 1910 states that Addison Brown was a 28-year-old laborer living in Montesano Precinct, County of Chehalis (now Grays Harbor County), Washington, with place of birth as Minnesota in 1881, residing as a "hired man" in the household of John C. Smith (age 52, born in Wisconsin) and his wife of 27 years, Jennie C. (age 47, born in West Virginia), and their children. Addison must have come to West Virginia soon thereafter, as he and Nancy "Babe" Haught were married Dec 20 1910 in West Union, and daughter Waneta was born Oct 23, 1911. In an affidavit dated Aug 21 1935 at Clarksburg WV, regarding establishment of his birthdate, Addison stated that his family had moved to Montesano, Washington when he was about nine years old, that the family Bible had been destroyed in a house fire about three years later, that his mother had died when he was about six years old, that his father had died when he was about 18 years old, and that he had no living siblings. Addison always told his son Armand that his only living relative not descended from him was a cousin, Edith Maria Weeden, whose address was 10 Guernsey Street, Norwich (Chenango County), NY. We have since determined that Edith Weeden was the wife of Archer Lewis Weeden (b. Mar 18 1870) (married May 20 1891) and was born Edith Maria Terwilliger in New York on Feb 13 1873, daughter of Andrew Jackson Terwilliger (1829-1904) and Mary Esther Sanders (1842-1919) (married Dec 12 1871). Census data shows that Mary Esther Sanders was a sister of Almira Sanders, Addison's mother. It was Edith Maria Weeden who in January 1943 provided an affidavit supporting the filing of Addison's delayed birth certificate in Verndale, Wadena County, Minnesota. | BROWN, Addison Avery (I33)

| 12691 | Both her date and place of birth are given incorrectly in her death record and obituary, which state Apr 14 1879 in Pennsylvania. All other records show her birthplace as West Virginia, specifically in Doddridge County. The 1880 Census, enumerated on Jun 2 1880, gives her age as 2 months, while the 1900 Census states her birth date as May 1880. | SULLIVAN, Lelia Martha (I80880)

|
| 12694 | Both Hubert Haseltine and his wife were teachers. The 1932 City Directory shows Mr. Haseltine teaching at Asheville High School. They started a small family school, the Haseltine School, on Liberty Street. When the fire department condemned the building, the school was merged with Asheville Country Day in 1950. Asheville Country Day School was started because two of the student's mothers wanted a Protestant, non-sectarian school. The merged schools retained the Asheville Country Day name, with Mr. Haseltine being headmaster, or principal. Space was rented in the Grace Presbyterian Church [1951: Asheville Country Day School, 789 Merrimon Ave.] This building was a former home of Asheville-Biltmore College [1942-1949] and was previously built by the Junior League as a baby home [Buncombe County Children's Home]. http://toto.lib.unca.edu/findingaids/oralhistory/VOA/I_M/McCabe_E.html | HASELTINE, Hubert Arthur (I74909)

| 12695 | Both John Henry Brown and his wife Mary Elizabeth Wanstreet were known almost exclusively by their middle names.

Pa; grandson John Lovett, 5, b. WVa; boarder Michael Crane (?), 35, b. Ireland, physician. (NOTE: Doddridge County birth records show that John Lovett was born on Sep 2 1874, son of M. J. Lovett & Mary Brown. No marriage record for that couple has been found, and it is likely that they never married. John appeared in the 1900 Census of Cove District, listed as nephew John Brown in the household of his uncle George A. Brown. In subsequent censuses and other records he was known almost exclusively as John T. Brown.) In the 1900 Census, Henry Brown, widower, was enumerated in the household of his son George. | Family: John Henry BROWN / Mary Elizabeth WANSTREET (F34335)
