| 23412 | Tobias Saunders first appears in the records of Taunton, Mass., in 1643. He is thought to have died in 1695, as his will was proved on September 2nd of that year. Although he was a member of the first Seventh Day Baptist Church in America at Newport, his ancestor, Rev. Lawrence Saunders, was not known to have been a Sabbath-keeper, as he was one of the Christian martyrs burned to death outside the city of Coventry, England, on Sabbath Day, February 9 1555. Tobias Saunders was a soldier of the King in old England and at one time was one of the King's Life Guard. He was made a freeman in Newport in 1655, and on Sep 9 1661 received a quarter of a share in the division of the land at Misquamicut, as Westerly was then called. Almost immediately he was in the midst of trouble as he, his father-in-law, Joseph Clarke, and Robert Burdick laid claim to Southertown (Southertown included the later limits of the town of Stonington, CT, and much of Westerly, RI), which both Connecticut and Massachusetts claimed as theirs. All three were arrested Nov 1 1661 by Constable William Palmer, but Joseph Clarke was later freed. Saunders and Burdick were both placed on trial before Governor Endicott and associates on Nov 14 1661 in Boston. Their defense was that they had bought the land from the Indians by the authority of the Court of Rhode Island. Bonds were set at 100 pounds each, and in the absence of surety, they were committed to prison for trial in May 1662. At that time they were fined 40 pounds each and Rhode Island was notified to send in the fines, but they were kept in jail for two years. Connecticut was later given a new charter giving Southertown to her, and Massachusetts retired from the contest. Still later, a compromise was reached in England whereby Connecticut relinquished her claim to the disputed territory in Westerly to Rhode Island. Tobias Saunders, Robert Burdick, Joseph Clarke, and John Crandall were a few of the strong men of their day who stood steadfast, endured persecution and imprisonment not only because of the land disputes, but also for the religious freedom guaranteed to the residents of Rhode Island but not vouchsafed to the Connecticut settlers where the Puritan church was to all intents the State religion. Tobias Saunders was a deputy to the General Assembly of Rhode Island from Westerly many terms and was active in the Westerly congregation of the Newport church. Three of Tobias Saunders' daughters died of smallpox as adults. [NOTE: Source of the foregoing information is Earl P.

| 23414 | Together with his father and his son Carl, Doyle Duckworth began to expand his dairy operation. He cut down trees on the farm to make lumber. With this he engineered and built his own home, and most of the buildings on the farm. They started with 12 cattle and eventually reached more than 350 head. Doyle and his son believed that education and technology would be the key to success. They were charter members of the Central Ohio Breeders Association, the Marietta Milk Producers, and Milk Marketing Incorporated. Mr. Doyle was the primary organizer of the Southeastern Ohio District Council of Cooperatives, and the Wolf Run Conservation District. He served for many years on the Landmark Board of Advisors and the Washington County Farm Bureau. The farm has been recognized for many years on the soil conservation tour, and has won numerous awards for outstanding corn silage, and corn production. Doyle and his son, Carl, were close advisors to Mr. Ralph Sawyer and, later, Roger Smith, in the Marietta High School FFA programs. They volunteered the farm for educational purposes on an annual basis. Duckworth Farms became the third dairy farm in the United States to purchase and use a computerized feeding system to feed and track daily milk production of every cow. With this advancement and by proper breeding, the farm was able to produce more than three million pounds of milk annually. The farm furnished three breeding bulls to the Central Ohio Breeders Association to help improve other farms in the state. In 1989, Duckworth Farms was the winner of the Marietta Chamber of Commerce Agricultural Award. Doyle and his son Carl had a deep belief in agriculture and education. The family has a scholarship fund that was established after the death of Carl in 2001. This fund assists students studying agriculture and is also for educational instruction to local FFA groups in the county. Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to Duckworth Farms Scholarship Fund at Marietta Savings Bank, Attention Cathy Moody, P.O. Box 837, Marietta, Ohio 45750. | DUCKWORTH, Doyle Deleth (I128117)

| 23420 | Tradition says that Thomas Lowther, son of Col. William Lowther, "was a snake-charmer, that he could wield such power over a poisonous reptile as to be able to handle it without harm to himself." He is said to have died in middle age of appendicitis, having undergone surgery without an anesthetic. There is disagreement among researchers regarding the children of Thomas Lowther and Mary Coburn; some (e.g., Minnie Kendall Lowther) include Robert and Mary "Polly," while others (e.g., Linder and Donnelly) state that there is no proof for that. Don Norman lists Elias, Jesse, William, Mary and Margaret as the five children of Thomas and Mary Coburn, then shows a second marriage to Catherine Switzer producing seven children, Sarah "Sally," Phoebe, Elizabeth, Thomas, Polly, Robert and another Elizabeth. Researcher Jane Lowther Bolster, p. 23, states only that Thomas and Mary were the parents of five children, but does not name them. The will of Thomas Lowther (Harrison County Will Book, Vol 2, p. 178), was written on May 19 1816. "The will lists five children of Thomas Lowther: Jesse, Eliza, Peggy, William and Nancy. A daughter named Mary was not mentioned. (According to the Census of 1810, by enumeration Thomas Lowther appeared to have had as many as nine children, four of them girls.) The will then lists six additional children of Catherine Switzer: Polly, Thomas, Sally, Robert, Pheby and Elizabeth. The will does not state that Thomas Lowther was married (second) to Catherine Switzer nor state that the second list of children were those of Thomas Lowther by marriage or adoption." [Donnelly, p. 50] The will named Thomas' friends Robert Lowther and Elias Lowther the executors of his estate, and it was signed in the presence of Marshall Rees, William Lowther and Elias R. Lowther. Thomas Louther in the 1810 United States Federal Census Name: Thomas Louther Home in 1810 : Harrison County, Virginia (Based on neighbors known to have lived there, this was most likely in West Milford) Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 15: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44 : 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44: 1 Number of Household Members Under 16: 7 Number of Household Members Over 25: 2 Number of Household Members: 11 In the 1820 Census of Harrison County, Cahorin (sic) Lowther is listed as head of household on the same page as Wm Lowther, Wm Lowther, Jesse Lowther, Elias Lowther and Robt Lowther. These were all names mentioned in Thomas Lowther's will. Her household was as follows: Enumeration Date: August 7, 1820 Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 18: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25: 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 45 and over : 1 Number of Persons - Engaged in Agriculture: 2 Free White Persons - Under 16: 6 Free White Persons - Over 25: 1 Total Free White Persons: 8 Total All Persons - White, Slaves, Colored, Other: 8 There is also speculation that Catherine Switzer was actually Thomas Lowther's oldest child, but no marriage record has been found in Harrison or Lewis counties of a Catherine Lowther to a Switzer, including name variations. Doddridge County death records show a Robert Lowther, son of Thomas & Catharine, who died on Apr 13 1867. This is the Robert Lowther, born ca 1810, who married Mary Ann Spurgeon and whose household included in both the 1850 and 1860 Censuses a Catherine Lowther, born ca 1781, relationship not indicated. This may also be the Robert Lowther in question here as the son of Thomas Lowther. No death record for this Catherine Lowther has been found. Despite the lack of evidence described in Linder's and Donnelly's excellent research, we include Robert and Mary "Polly" Lowther among Thomas Lowther's children with Mary Coburn, principally because Minnie Kendall Lowther saw fit to include them. | LOWTHER, Thomas (I25624)

| 23421 | Transcipt of findings of autopsy on Robert Gibson: 15th April 1866 Having first made a minute examination of the body of Robert Gibson, pressing my fingers over every part externally and discovering no mark of violence, I then examined a portion of the ribs and sternum. And seeing great engorgement of the lungs, particularly the right, also engorgement of the large vessels, and the corresponding engorgement of the right heart and of the head with Pieridity of the features, also the diminished size of the left heart, I have come to the conclusion that the man came to his death by asphyxia from drowning. S. A. Walker 16th April 1866 Having heard evidence to the effect that the man Gibson had been struck on the head, I suggested the body should be exhumed for further examination. On taking off the hair, I discovered a wound on the scalp over the frontal bone from which there was an elevation of the integument [tough outer protective layer] to the extent of from 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch in diameter, and which might have been caused by a stroke with some blunt instrument, not finding any other sign of violence externally. I then removed the scalp between the integument and the base of the right parietal bone. I discovered a patch of coagulated blood and area of the same size (?___? an inch and a half in diameter) over the occiput [back of the head or skull]. These might have been produced by blows from some flat instrument or by falls. With a view to ascertain if these injuries were communicated to the internal structures, I then removed the cranium by a line of incision running each way from the frontal sinuse to the Torcular Herophili [confluence of sinuses] horizontally and did not find any trace of such communication. No extravasation [leakage of a fluid out of its container into the surrounding area], disorganized lymph spiculae or fracture. From these observations I concluded that death did not occur from those injuries. I then exhibited the heart, still somewhat rotund on the right half, but entirely collapsed on the left, as I had felt at the pericardium [membrane enclosing the heart] the day before. From the above observations, my opinion before expressed is strengthened. Stunned by the blows he may have staggered into the water or was thrust therein and there died! In either case, his death appears to have resulted from criminal violence. S. A. Walker | WALKER, Samuel A. (I113064)

| 23432 | Twice married, both of Marion Bruce Summers' wives were named Maude. His first wife, Maude B. Stalnaker, died before Jan 1920, probably in Pennsylvania where he was found as a widower in the 1920 Census. They had three children, Joseph, Marion and Betty. His second wife, Leota Maude Goff, was known almost exclusively by her middle name. She had two previous marriages, first to James R. Wass who died in 1912 and by whom she had daughters Helen and Virginia. Her 1917 marriage to Edgar Sylvester White, a native of Maine, apparently soon ended in divorce. Marion Bruce Summers and Maude White were in adjacent households in the 1920 Census of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is not known when or where they were married, but they were in Sarasota, Florida at the time of his 1928 death. Maude was still residing there with her daughter Virginia in the 1945 Census, and she is reported to have died there later that year. In November 1914, along with accomplice C. D. Martin, Marion Bruce Summers was found guilty on multiple counts of bank fraud, specifically the embezzlement of about $35,000 from the First National Bank of West Union. They were both sentenced to five years in the West Virginia state prison. 1910 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District, town of West Union), enumerated on Apr 18 1910: M. Bruce Summers, 40, occupation banker, married 6 yrs; wife Maude B, 30, mother of 2 children (both still living); son Joe D, 5; son Marion B, 1; roomer Adaline Tschudi, 32, b. Maryland, single, occupation dressmaker. Census entries indicated that the family residence was a house rather than a farm, that it was owned rather than rented, and that it was without a mortgage. 1920 Census, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania (city of Pittsburgh), enumerated on Jan 15 1920: M. B. Summers, 50, occupation manager at steel company, widowed; son Joe D, 16; dau Betty M, 2, b. Pennsylvania. In the next household: Maude White, 36, b. WVa (father b. WVa, mother b. Ohio), no occupation, widowed; dau Helen, 12; dau Opel, 10. (Note: Maude White's listed marital status is incorrect. She and her husband of 2-1/2 years, Edgar Sylvester White, had apparently separated, as he was enumerated in the 1920 Census in Portland, Maine, his native state.) 1930 Federal Census, Sarasota Co, Florida (city of Sarasota), enumerated on Apr 14 1930 on Gillespie Ave: Maud A (?) Summers, 46, b. WVa (father b. WVa, mother b. Ohio), occupation retail grocery merchant; dau Betty M. Summers, 12, b. Pa; dau Helen F. Wass, 22, b. WVa, single; dau Virginia O. Wass, 20, b. WVa, single. 1935 Florida State Census, Sarasota Co, Florida, enumerated at E. 24th Street: Maud Summers, 52, b. Ohio, housewife, home owner (rather than rent); dau Bettie Summers, 17, b. Pa, stenographer. In the next household were Maud's daughter and her family: Alton P. Bowers, 28, b. South Carolina, occupation ice plant; wife Virginia O. Bowers, 25, b. WVa; dau Virginia Dorothy Bowers, 2, b. Florida. In the 1945 Florida State Census of Sarasota, Florida, Maud L. Summers was listed in the household of her daughter and son-in-law Virginia O. & A. P. Bowers. | SUMMERS, Marion Bruce (I55705)

| 23449 | Two versions of Mary Neely Hart's obituary have been found. Both versions indicate a death date of Friday, 13 Jan 1893, a date that did in fact fall on a Friday. But her headstone has a death date of 11 Jan 1893, while a descendant's SAR application shows it as 3 Jan 1893. There is no death record for her. (1) Clarksburg Telegram, Friday, January 20, 1893, in its entirety: Mrs. Mary N. Hart died suddenly about 12 o'clock Friday night at her home in this city. She had been complaining for several days, but was not thought to be dangerously ill. Sometime during the evening, Doctors Morgan and Howell were called in and remained but a short time. Near midnight she grew rapidly worse and expired before any of the near neighbors could be summoned. The Hart family, at the time of the mother's death, was composed of her daughter, Miss Lillie, her two sons Charles M. and John B. Hart, and their married sister Mrs. Chas. J. Goff. The father, Mr. Ira Hart, it will be remembered died from injuries received by being thrown out of a carriage on Main Street in 1879. The other daughter, Mrs. Wilson, lives in Pueblo, Colorado. (2) http://www.wvgenweb.org/harrison/clarkpap1893.html Obituary of Mrs. Mary Newlon Hart [notes] Died Friday, January 13, 1893 from the effects of heart trouble. She was the daughter of Mathew [sic] Neeley of Morgans Run, Middle Island Creek. In October 1849 she married Ira Hart of Clarksburg. They lived in the West End. Ira Hart was a skilled artisan who died in 1879 when he was thrown from a buggy. The two sons are not mentioned by name in this article. The daughters include Mrs. Charles J.
