| 14107 | Edward Doty was a passenger on the 1620 voyage of the Mayflower to North America, traveling as the indentured servant of another passenger, Stephen Hopkins. Upon arrival of the Mayflower at Cape Cod, Doty was one of 41 male passengers who signed the Mayflower Compact, where his name appears as "Edward Doten." In late 1620, Doty accompanied Hopkins and others on some of the early Pilgrim explorations of the Cape Cod area while trying to locate a suitable location for their settlement. In Plymouth Colony records, Doty's name was also spelled variously as Doten (Mayflower Compact), Dotey (1626 Purchasers and 1643 bear arms lists), Dolton (1627 Division of the Cattle), and Dowty (1633/34 tax lists). Edward Doty later became a wealthy land owner, but his argumentative nature and display of temper caused him to be in the Plymouth court many times over the years. He had a quick temper that often was out of control and had many business dealings that in some cases bordered on the fraudulent. But he was never punished for criminal activities beyond small fines. So even though he was charged with fighting and was sued by many persons for fraudulent trading and goods sales, almost all were civil cases and were not of a criminal nature. Other troublemakers were often removed from Plymouth (i.e. Isaac Allerton was forced out) but Doty lived there throughout the rest of his life His marriage to Faith Clark in 1635 produced nine children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Doty http://www.edwarddoty.org/ | DOTY, Edward (I121080)

| 14110 | Edward Scripps, 88, Who Built A Chain of Mostly Small Papers Published: September 13, 1997, New York Times Edward Wyllis Scripps, a newspaper executive and philanthropist who built a publishing company independent of his family's newspaper empire, died on Sept. 4 at his farm in Charlottesville, Va. He was 88. Mr. Scripps was the chairman and president of the Scripps League Newspapers from 1931 to 1996. According to Jack Morgan, the former vice president of the newspaper chain, it was started in 1921 by Josephine Scripps, Mr. Scripps's mother. When Mr. Scripps became president in 1931, there were eight newspapers. He built the chain to 51 publications, mostly small newspapers like The Daily Herald of Provo, Utah; The Napa Valley Register of Napa, Calif.; The Newport Daily Express of Newport, Vt., and The Hanford Sentinel of Hanford, Calif. It also included The Arizona Daily Sun of Flagstaff, Ariz. Scripps League Newspapers was bought by the Pulitzer Publishing Company in 1996. Born in San Diego, Mr. Scripps was the grandson of Edward Wyllis Scripps, the founder of the Scripps-Howard Newspaper empire and United Press International. He served on the board of the Inter-American Press Association and was a president of its technical center, from 1955 until 1970. In 1984, Mr. Scripps and his wife, Betty, established the Edward W. and Betty Knight Scripps Foundation. Among the organizations it has supported are the American Red Cross; the Thomas Jefferson Foundation; the Santa Fe Opera; the Mayo Clinic, and the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla, Calif.

In addition to his wife, Mr. Scripps is survived by two sons, Edward Wyllis Scripps 3d of Los Altos, Calif., and Barry Howard Scripps of San Diego; a daughter, Stephanie Anne Scripps of Seattle; a sister, Ellen Scripps Davis of San Diego, and seven grandchildren. =============================== From Deseret News archives: Sons of publishing magnate want their dad's will revoked Published: Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1998 12:00 a.m. MST The sons of the late publishing magnate Edward Wyllis Scripps have asked a judge to revoke the will of their father. In a filing last week, Barry and Edward W. Scripps III claim their mother coerced their father into cutting them out of his $214 million estate. They said the former head of Scripps League Newspapers was not competent when he approved changes that left them nothing.Scripps, who died in September at age 88, gave his entire estate to his wife, Betty Knight Scripps, and a private foundation in the couple's name. Lawyers for Betty Scripps said her sons have no grounds to contest the June 1996 will because they would not have benefited from three previous wills and codicils her husband signed. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/609739/Sons-of-publishing-magnate-want-their-dads-will-revoked.html ========================= From Deseret News archives: Publisher's granddaughter dies in San Diego house fire Published: Monday, Feb. 9, 1998 12:00 a.m. MST The granddaughter of publishing magnate Edward Wyllis Scripps and her husband died when fire spread through their turn-of-the century home just north of San Diego.

| 14111 | Edward Winn was born possibly in Wales, but more probably in England. He came from England to America with his wife Joanna (or Jane), and three children. It is conjectured that he was a master builder, and that he came from Ipswich, England or vicinity, and that Moses Cleveland was his apprentice and accompanied him to America. He was in Charlestown, Massachusetts prior to Dec 18 1640, and was in Woburn, Massachusetts after that, being one of the original planners of the town. He was made a freeman on May 10 1643 and became one of the leading men in town affairs. He was chosen a town officer, a surveyor for sale in 1658-59, and a selectman in 1669. | WINN, Edward (I72741)

| 14118 | Eldon James "Wimp" Haught was a 1954 graduate of Harrisville High School and received an honorary degree from Alderson Broadus University. He was a charter member of the Smithville Volunteer Fire Dept. since joining in 1964. In 1969, Eldon helped form ALFAB Inc., a truck body company in Smithville that still thrives today. He, his brothers and others, were in the oil and gas drilling business until he left the company in 1977. He was a member of The Harrisville Baptist Church. Eldon was recently inducted into the WV Aviation Hall of Fame for his 35 years of service in the WV Aeronautics Commission where he was instrumental in securing funding for many of the State's airports. His proudest accomplishment was the purchase of a fire fighting simulator which is used by fire departments throughout the State to train firemen and airport firemen in procedures and fire safety of a burning aircraft. Eldon was also a licensed pilot. He was recently awarded the North Star Award from the National Boy Scouts of America for his dedication to scouting and his community service throughout West Virginia. He was instrumental in securing funding through his good friend Senator Robert C. Byrd for the North Fork Lake and Dam project and later the Recreational Area which has been named the Eldon J. Haught Lakeside Recreation Area in Harrisville. Other awards and accomplishments include receiving the 2003 Jefferson Award, which was created by Jacqueline Kennedy and honors those for outstanding community service, 1999 Ritchie County Citizen of the Year, Community Service Award from the Daughters of the American Revolution for voluntary service. He served on the Mid Ohio Valley Regional Council for many years, was a past board member of The Union Bank of Harrisville, worked on helping to build and secure funding for the North Bend Rail Trail, Ritchie County High School weight room and access road and Ritchie Regional Health Center. He saved many jobs by funding a suitable office space in Harrisville for the DHHR with little hope of getting reimbursed for purchasing the building. He volunteered his time and equipment to remodel the home of Jessica Lynch to accommodate her rehabilitation from injuries she received in Iraq. There have been many more contributions, both large and small, that Wimp Haught has made to improve the lives of his fellow West Virginians. His commitment to public service has continued for more than 60 years and will be sorely missed. | HAUGHT, Eldon James "Wimp" (I89282)

|
| 14144 | Elizabeth, the wife of John C. Rickard and mother of Mary Catherine Rickard, is identifed as Elizabeth Clemmer in Susie Davis Nicholson's highly regarded "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 123. But we have found no other reference to her by that surname. Her children's marriage records, if they include a mother at all, identify her only by her first name. The death record of daughter Louisa Rickard Ringer, which incorrectly lists her father as William rather than John, identifies her mother as Elizabeth Trough, which corresponds to other findings of Rickard family researchers. Elizabeth's death is documented only by her headstone. We have found no death record for her, and no record of John C. Rickard after the 1860 Census. 1850 Census, Harrison Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated in July 1850: John Rickards, 47, farmer; Elizabeth, 35; Mary, 18; Rosan, 15; Martha, 12; Emily, 10; William, 4; Virginia, 4 months. All born in Pennsylvania except for William and Virginia, born in Virginia. NOTE: Elizabeth's age appears to be understated by ten years, based on her headstone and age 55 in the 1860 Census. Mary's place of birth is given in other records as Hagerstown, Maryland. This family is known from other records to have another daughter, Louisa, born in 1844. Her whereabouts in this census are unknown. 1860 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Jun 1 1860: J. Rickard, 60, farmer, value of real estate $250, value of personal estate (blank); E. (female), 55; L. (female), 14; Wm., 13; Virginia, 8. All born in Virginia.
