I have often heard of <a href="https://inl.gov/" target="_blank">INL, Idaho National Labratory</a>, as it plays a part in my parents meeting and getting married.</p><p>I showed the pamphlet to my Uncle who I was staying with and he offered me a book he had entitled, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Idaho-Falls-Americas-Nuclear-Accident/dp/1550225626" target="_blank">"Idaho Falls: The Untold Story of America’s First Nuclear Accident"</a>. It is about the SL-1 incident at INL the first American nuclear reactor disaster. Three men perished in the incident.</p><p>I found the book quite interesting and quickly read through it. I would recommend the book.</p><p>A couple things about the accident rang a bell with me, the location and the year. The accident happened on January 3, 1961 at INL. My father received US navy nuclear reactor operator training at INL in 1961. My parents met due to my father being there for this training and they were married in 1961 in the area. It is likely my Dad was there when the incident happened or shortly after and would have known about it as much as anyone else at INL would have known about it who was not directly involved.</p><p><br /></p>Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08884515348590768561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12413966.post-32753549566241722682023-02-26T20:57:00.007-08:002023-02-26T21:07:28.273-08:00Tennessee Counties with County Seats<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbvwGFgDRG4_MaGH2k6a_aSqU26eIQwDzGopGlKfRTnM1ZReLHvnVTvrD7JNUsPJrf54lwlDbGO-FD6-oDqlfvx9vX_WCuw4FZQVGDonFNEQ3v1ya6txaDk1EhJ0V8A89NLVJDPNRwva-GWtCEoYUpC_bKInI0UPjS5L0yfiAx0aPeBa9CVg/s1500/tennessee-counties.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="1500" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbvwGFgDRG4_MaGH2k6a_aSqU26eIQwDzGopGlKfRTnM1ZReLHvnVTvrD7JNUsPJrf54lwlDbGO-FD6-oDqlfvx9vX_WCuw4FZQVGDonFNEQ3v1ya6txaDk1EhJ0V8A89NLVJDPNRwva-GWtCEoYUpC_bKInI0UPjS5L0yfiAx0aPeBa9CVg/w640-h241/tennessee-counties.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <a href="https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Williamson_County,_Tennessee_Genealogy">Williamson County, Tennessee Genealogy Resources</a><p></p>Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08884515348590768561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12413966.post-35029616038689342542021-12-27T21:32:00.006-08:002021-12-27T21:32:39.161-08:00Williamson County, Tennessee Early History<p> </p><ul style="color: #3f4e5b; font-family: "PT Sans"; font-size: 17.3333px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><p align="left">[Source: A History of Tennessee and Tennesseans: The Leaders..." Vol 3, By Will Thomas Hale, Dixon Lanier Merritt; pub 1913]</p><p align="left">Williamson County (formed in 1799 from Davidson): Previous to 1800 settlers began coming to what is now Williamson county. David McEwin, with several families, arrived in Nashville in 1796, but as there were still fears of Indian disturbances in remote settlements, they remained in that village until 1798, when McEwin, if not others, located at Roper's Knob. It was about this time that William, a son of Timothy Demonbruen, left Nashville and settled at College Grove, where he became a wealthy planter. A man named Sledge settled near the present Peytonsville. From 1797 to 1810 the following persons were among the county's pioneers: Samuel Crockett, John Aulson, Andrew Goff, George Neely, Thomas H. Perkins, Mathew Johnson, William Edmondson, Ewen Cameron, Thomas McKay, Abram Maury, Solomon Brent, William Hulmey, Zion Hunt, Robert Caruthers, R. P. Currin, John Harness, Edmund Wall, Byrd Bramlett, Nicholas Perkins and Stephen Childress. Byrd Bramlett, settling near Nolensville, grew the first hogs- head of tobacco in Middle Tennessee, tradition says.</p></ul><div><span style="color: #3f4e5b; font-family: PT Sans;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;"><a href="http://genealogytrails.com/tenn/williamson/history_early.html">http://genealogytrails.com/tenn/williamson/history_early.html</a></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #3f4e5b; font-family: PT Sans;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #3f4e5b; font-family: PT Sans;"><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;"><br /></span></span></div>Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08884515348590768561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12413966.post-37776454831841299482021-12-27T19:37:00.000-08:002021-12-27T19:37:05.471-08:00Tennessee County Map<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://tennesseehistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2018-thd-regions-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="800" height="159" src="https://tennesseehistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2018-thd-regions-1.jpg" width="420" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08884515348590768561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12413966.post-14640835805991590032021-12-26T22:59:00.001-08:002021-12-27T19:38:22.650-08:00Carothers Family Historical marker in Franklin, Tennessee<div><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=149859">Carothers Family Historical marker in Franklin, Tennessee</a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Palatino, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16px;">"Robert Carothers, Sr., a Revolutionary War soldier, and his family came to Tennessee from North Carolina in 1791 and were living in Williamson County in 1799.

<br />
"On 10 April 1963, Thresher sank during deep-diving tests about 350 km (220 mi) east of Boston, Massachusetts, killing all 129 crew and shipyard personnel aboard."<br />
<br />
My Dad served briefly on the USS Thresher, but decided the submarine service was not for him. He knew crew members who lost their lives and always remembered those who lost their lives in that tragedy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Among his mementos, my Dad kept the following<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jjDfznPCUxk/XsxXr6uDkzI/AAAAAAAAAKg/QrTdH5gp-ZM8nGCzGnHZFeBB1ASELowRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/USSThresher.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jjDfznPCUxk/XsxXr6uDkzI/AAAAAAAAAKg/QrTdH5gp-ZM8nGCzGnHZFeBB1ASELowRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/USSThresher.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
as well as a thank you letter for those who contributed to the education fund for the crew's children.<br />
<br />
USS Thresher motto: Vis Tacita (Silent Strength)<br />
<br />
May God bless all the armed forces who gave "their last full measure of devotion" on the altar of freedom for the United States of America. And may God bless their loved ones.<br />
<br />
They may be gone from us, but they are not forgotten!<br />

Occasionally I see if I can turn up anything new about Thornton. The 1860 reference to him is the last I know about him, see my blog entry <a href="https://carothersgenealogy.blogspot.com/2006/03/thornton-carothers-in-california-in.html">Thornton Carothers in California in 1860</a>.<br />
<br />
In the 1860 US Census Thornton was a farm laborer on the farm of Henry Reed. I found the following newspaper reference to Henry in 1867.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This likely narrows down exactly where Thornton was in 1860, "Reed's Ranch" in Dry Creek, West Bear River Township, Yuba County, California. G.E. Chittenden is listed in the 1860 US Census along with Henry Reed and Thornton and quite a few other farm laborers.</span></div>

Phebe Crawford is a Phebe Kendall candidate in the 1870 US Census, Leavenworth County, Kansas.<br />
Note that Douglas County is adjacent to Leavenworth County. Phebe Kendall is listed in the 1860 US Census in Douglas County as 14 years old. Phebe Crawford is 24 years old and born in Kentucky.<br />

<br />
William Crawford is listed in the 1860 US Census with Phebe Crawford as his 17 year old wife with a 7 month old child, so I think it is safe to discount Phebe Crawford as the Phebe Kendall I am looking for. Not because Phebe is 17 years old, as that is likely a fib as she is likely 14 years old and doesn't want to admit it. The following lists Phebe's age for each census.<br />
<br />
1860 17<br />
1865 22<br />
1870 24<br />
1875 28<br />
1880 37<br />
1895 52<br />
<br />
Rather it is the 7 month old child. I think there would have been a shot gun wedding a bit sooner, but I could be wrong!<br />

Their children from the 1850 US Census in Kentucky are also listed as having been born in Kentucky and have the right names and ages. The youngest known child is not listed as he will be born in 1861. Phebe is a candidate for Francis Kendall who married John D. Herring and gave birth to William Francis Marion Herring in 1864. Note the Kendall family and the Herring family are both located in Douglas County, Kansas during this time. The Kendall family is in Willow Creek township and the Herring family is in the adjacent Clinton township.<br />

It is interesting to note that this family moved from Kentucky to Kansas and appears to have moved back for the duration of the Civil War, moving back to Kansas afterwards.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is a link to <a href="https://www.ncpedia.org/biography/caruthers-eli-washington">Eli Washington Caruthers</a> (26 Dec. 1793 – 14 Nov. 1865)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eli was born in Rowan County, near Salisbury and was the second of seven children. His parents were James and Elizabeth Lawrence Caruthers. I don't think I am a descendant, as Eli appears to have not married, nor had children. However his parent's family was not too far from Mecklenburg county and he was born about 8 years after William. Their families could be closely related, maybe even first cousins. The search goes on.</span><br />

I am at a brick wall with William Carothers, born in 1785 in North Carolina. My wonderful sister is pursuing using DNA in her genealogy research. I am quite interested in this subject, but knew nothing about it.<br />
<br />
So I went to the Orange County Family History Expo last year and the keynote speaker was Colleen Fitzpatrick, PhD on the subject "The Forensic Genealogy Revolution"!<br />
<br />
The following is the Doctor's bio from the expo flyer:<br />
<br />
"Colleen Fitzpatrick; PhD, the founder of Identifinders International, is widely recognized as the founder of modern Forensic Genealogy. Most notably, she is credited with solving the first cold case using Forensic Genealogy – the 1992-1993 Phoenix Canal murders. Dr. Fitzpatrick is also Co-Executive Director of the DNA Doe Project (DDP), a nonprofit corporation whose mission is to use genetic genealogy to identify John and Jane Does and return them to their families. She is the author of three books, and has lectured widely in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. She has appeared in hundreds of domestic and international newspapers and magazines, and on international radio and television programs.”"<br />
<br />
Colleen could have spoken for hours and hours. Her speech was very interesting and informative!<br />
<br />
I had already taking a autosomal DNA test and was busy learning how it might help me with looking for my Carothers connections. And when the end of the year DNA sales started, I took a Y-DNA test. The company has a Carruthers project which I joined and there are numerous matches. I am working on contacting matching individuals. I also joined an associated society, the Clan Carruthers Society International (CCSI). They provide genealogical research assistance for the Carruthers (Carothers) lines.<br />
<br />

<br />
Of course, this research will mostly involve tracking down source records to prove my family line.<br />
<br />
2020 is looking good to break down my William Carothers brick wall. Wish me luck!Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08884515348590768561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12413966.post-56248314066952402642018-10-31T21:57:00.002-07:002018-10-31T21:57:27.273-07:00William Francis Marion HerringIn my last post from almost two years ago, I wrote about my Francis Marion Herring brick wall. When I display my fan chart out to 7 generations there are no empty spots, except after Francis. It is rather annoying!<br />
<br />
Well, tonight, I think I have broken through this brick wall!<br />
<br />
I believe I have found Francis, or rather William as I shall refer to him from now on, along with his father, an uncle and his family, and his Herring grandparents all living on the same farm in Clinton, Kansas in 1865. A year after he was born and his mother Frances Kendall passed away.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is first source I have acquired about William's father, likely his grandparents, Uncle and his family. Know that I have a solid source, progress should hopefully be rapid!<br />

His last known documented location is found in the 1900 U.S. Census in Parker Township, Morris County, Kansas with his wife, Sallie Alice Herring, their 3 surviving children and a brother in law, John F. Byers.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sallie Alice is found in the 1910 U.S. Census listed as a widow in Clinton Ward 1, Henry, Missouri, United States.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An initial search of various online databases lists nothing further about Francis between 1900 and 1910. I am interested in finding out when and where he died and where his remains were buried. And I would like to find out about his parents and other family members.<br />

Walker ObituaryI have been trying to learn more about the wife of <a href="http://www.carothersonline.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I2893&tree=carothers" target="_blank">Gordon Kenneth Herring</a>. His wife's name is listed as Ella and she appears to have passed away a couple of years after Gordon. It also appears she had remarried after Gordon passed away. The following obituary lists Ella L. Walker as having a son named Robert Herring of Arvada, CO. Her husband is Roy Walker. Her mother is Mamie Stone of Pampa, Texas. It gives her a birthdate of January 8, 1917 in Oklahoma. It does not list the cause of her death.<br />

In this case <a href="http://www.carothersonline.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I2893&tree=carothers">Gordon Kenneth Herring</a> is found in the Tucson, Arizona City Directory of 1948. Also found is his wife, Evelyn I. Gordon is listed as involved in trucking. Gordon and Evelyn are listed as living at 3115 E. Greenlee Rd. Looking down a couple entries there is listed one M. M. Herring and his wife Bessie M. Herring at the same address. This is Gordon's parents <a href="http://www.carothersonline.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I2889&tree=carothers">Melvin Marion Herring</a> and <a href="http://www.carothersonline.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I2890&tree=carothers">Bessie Margaret Dinklage</a>.<br />

Today I attended the graveside service for my Aunt Lana, who passed away recently at the age of 66. Her passing was sudden and unexpected. She will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her. She is buried next to her father, Gerald Carothers, at Rose Hills Cemetery. No doubt she is greatly cheered by seeing her father and mother again.<br />

Linda Jane Carothers was born on December 6, 1941 in Pocatello, ID, to Fred Wynn and Verda Wolverton. Her parents divorced and her mother married Guy Wilson in 1945. Linda graduated from Pocatello H.S. in 1960, and then completed secretarial training at business school. In 1961, she married Edwin Carothers in Pocatello, ID. They were married for 49 years and raised four children, during which time she upheld her duties as a Navy wife, enduring many deployments and holidays without her husband, but never losing her strength or love of her family. She lived in San Diego for over 40 years. <br />
<br />
Linda, 70, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday morning, June 27. <br />
<br />
Linda loved her children and grandchildren very much, and valued her many friends. She was an avid bowler and loved crafts, such as toile painting and scrapbooking. She also enjoyed playing with her dogs and watching baseball, forever rooting for the Padres. Linda lived a life of service, not only to family but to many others, donating time and money to many causes. Often, she opened her home to foster babies and others in need of a place to stay. <br />
<br />
She had a strong belief and love of Jesus Christ, her Savior. <br />
<br />
Linda was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her sister Kathleen, and her brother Fred. Surviving are her children and their spouses, Kelly (Lance), Donald (Kori), Lori (William) and Guy; eleven grandchildren Bethany, Colina, Javier, Joshua, Jeremy, Carlin, Catlin, Claire, Jane, Tyler and Sam; her brothers Michael, Danny and Layne; her sisters Georgia, Tony and Christy; and her dog Maggie. <br />
