| 22153 | Rosa's natural father was Andrew McKeown, son of Patrick and Mary, but Andrew and Virginia Ellen Harter were not married and apparently never had a domestic relationship. Based on available records, it is not clear what surname Rosa used prior to her marriage. In the 1880 Census, she was listed as Rosa G. Harter, granddaughter of William M. Harter, with her mother also in the household as Virginia E. Harter, marital status single. In Rosa's marriage record, she was identified as Rosa McCuan, daughter of Andrew and Ella McCuan. And in her death record she was identified as Rosa Geneva Nicholas, daughter of Vess McGarry and Ellen Harter. Robert Sylvester "Vess" McGary would have been her stepfather. | MCKEOWN, Rosa Geneva (I34477)

| 22166 | Rufus Brown left no will. The only record found of his death is his headstone, the weathered inscription on which was originally reported by Findagrave.com in early 2011 as "In memory of RUFUS BROWN, who died July 6th 1832, aged 66 years." But there was an error in the transcription of the badly worn marker. Given his documented Aug 1771 birth date, it was almost certain that either his age was other than 66, or that his death date was other than 1832. In July 2023, another reading of the headstone revealed that although the death date was indeed July 6th 1832, the age at death was actually 60, not 66. A rubbing of the headstone made the age 60 unmistakably clear, putting it in alignment with his birth date. Rufus was survived by his wife Mary, who died in January 1838. A record of their children's names is found in Grantor Record Book 65, p. 413, Cooperstown NY, dated Feb 29 1840, in which the children of Rufus Brown signed a Conveyance-Indenture transferring ownership of his property to them. This was presumably done as part of the settlement of the estate of Rufus's estate, or perhaps Mary's. Rufus and Mary probably died in Otsego County, their last known residence and the place of their burial. | BROWN, Rufus (I60993)

| 22169 | Ruth M. Allen married William Marcus Wright (aka Marcus William Wright) in 1892 and had five children by him in quick succession. After Marcus died of typhoid-malaria in 1897, Ruth found other homes for their three daughters and kept their two sons in her own care. This is reflected in the 1900 Census, in which the widowed Ruth reported having five living children, with only two sons in the household with her. Ruth remarried Peter Gain in 1905, and their daughter Nellie was born in 1909. This is reflected in the 1910 Census, in which Ruth reported having six living children. Complicating the documentation of Ruth and Marcus Wright's five children is that (1) they never all appeared in the same census together, (2) some of them went by different names at times, and (3) the birth records for all but one of them were delayed entries filed by relatives decades later, with varying degrees of accuracy. There are unresolved conflicts in some of their birth dates when compared to birth dates of adjacent siblings. The August 2000 obituary of daughter Ila D. Wright Jackson accounts for all five children, listing one surviving sister, Blanche Harbert, one predeceased sister, Ala Starkey, and two predeceased brothers, Virgil Wright and Robert Wright. 1900 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (McClellan District), enumerated on Jun 13 1900: William J. Allen, 56, b. Jul 1843, widowed, farmer; dau Ruth Wright, 28, b. Apr 1872, widowed, mother of 5 children (all still living); grandson Virgil Wright, 5, b. Sep 1894; grandson Ai Wright, 7 months, b. Nov 1899. NOTE: Virgil Wright, who married in 1917, was not found in the 1910 Census. After this census, Ai Wright was known as Benjamin Wright or Robert Benjamin Wright. 1910 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Central District), enumerated on May 13 1910: Peter Gain, 59, laborer at odd jobs, married 5 yrs (2nd marriage); wife Ruth, 39, married 5 yrs (2nd marriage), mother of 6 children (all still living); dau Nellie L, 1y 1m; stepson Benjamin H.

| 22180 | Sali Kleinberg Stempel and two of her three children were victims of the Nazi Holocaust. Deported from their native Austria in late 1941, they were residents of Bremen, Germany in 1942. At that time they were transported by the Nazis to the Maly Trostinets death camp at Minsk, Belarus (USSR), where they were executed and buried in mass graves. On Jul 24 1942, Sali was transported by train from Hannover, Germany to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia, where she remained for two months. On Sep 26 1942, along with 2,000 other Jews, she was transported by train to Treblinka, Poland. She was subsequently transported to Maly Trostinets, where she was executed. Her children Zerline and Walter had met the same fate two months earlier. This is all documented by the detailed records maintained by the Nazis at that time. http://www.yadvashem.org/wps/portal/IY_HON_Entrance http://en.doew.braintrust.at/shoahopferdb.html The killing process at Maly Trostinets was conducted as follows: Most of the victims were lined up in front of pits, 50 meters long and 3 meters deep, and shot to death. After the executions, the pits containing the victims were leveled by tractors. The operation was conducted by a unit of 30 to 100 SS men commanded by a Nazi officer named Rider. In the two years of its operation as a death camp, approximately 65,000 Jews were killed and buried at Maly Trostinets. http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/nazioccupation/malytrost.html http://www.stolpersteine-bremen.de/detail.php?id=630 | KLEINBERG, Sarah "Sali" (I37637)

Sherwood rifles are prized to this day by gun collectors everywhere. When Sherwood's wife, Drusilla Bland, died in 1913, her obituary focused as much on her husband as it did on herself.

Having established a reputation as a gunsmith second to none in the entire state, the marvelous skill and accuracy of his workmanship were known to our fathers over a wide area of the Western foothills." His own obituary described him in this way: "He was one of the best, if not the best, gunsmith in the U.S. His make of guns has been used all over the U.S." | SHERWOOD, Samuel Todd (I58121)
