1856-1894 Autograph Album of Marian L. McConkey, "Mollie", of Baltimore County, Maryland; student at Lutherville Female Seminary

1856-1894 autograph album of Marian L. McConkey, "Mollie", of Baltimore County, Maryland, with many of the inscriptions from her fellow students at Lutherville Female Seminary.

The album was presented to Marian by Colonel Polk on March 8, 1856.  Colonel Polk may have been James Polk (1794-1868) who was appointed Naval Officer of Baltimore in 1845.

The album, which was printed by Lippincott, Grambo & Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,  measures about 9-3/4" by 8" and contains 9 hand-colored illustrations and the sentiments of nearly seventy of Mollie's relatives, friends and schoolmates.

An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the inscribers, together with any personal information they offered, appear at the end of this post.

The Curator of Historical Documents in Special Collections at the University of Maryland at College Park, Maryland, kindly forwarded images of an 1856 prospectus of Lutherville Female Seminary, which contains the names of some of the inscribers, including Marian.  A reader with may be able to match up more of the inscribers, some of whom used only a given name or partial initials.  The images of three pages listing the students appear near the end of this post.

From brief online research, hopefully correct - corrections and additions requested:

Marian Livingston McConkey, "Mollie", was born about October 1841 in Maryland, the daughter of George W. McConkey and Eliza R. (Coale) McConkey.   While researching the McConkey family, I found a reference to a photograph of Marian's parents, held in the Rider Collection at the Maryland Historical Society and the 1982 annual bulletin of the McConnaughey Society of America - McConkey is one of several variant spellings.

On September 26, 1871 at Frederick, Maryland, Marian married Richard Wallace Simpson.  Three of their daughters and son Warfield inscribed pages in Marian's album, the only inscriptions beyond 1856-1860 [or possibly 1866].  It's heartwarming to think of the album's surfacing in the 1890s and the children's desire to add their names to it.

Irene Simpson of Libertytown, Maryland; inscribed on March 26, 1894; "Your loving little Daughter".

Lila Simpson of Liberty, Maryland; inscribed on December 22, 1885; "Your loving little Daughter".

Ida Simpson of Liberty, Maryland, inscribed on December 22, 1885.  "Your loving little Daughter".

W. Simpson of Libertytown, Maryland; inscribed on May 5, 1891; "Your loving son".  Warfield Simpson.

Marion, who died in 1917, and Richard, who died in 1923, are buried in the Fairmount Cemetery at Libertytown, Maryland.

Bible of Benjamin Franklin Haugh (1829-1912) of Maryland and Indiana

19th century Bible of Benjamin Franklin Haugh (1829-1912), a Maryland native, whose family moved to Indiana about 1836.  The Bible was presented to Benjamin by his mother, Mary Elizabeth (Reck) Haugh, on January 23, 1853.

The Bible, published by the American Bible Society at New York, New York, in 1852, measures approximately 7" by 4-1/2" by 1-1/2" and has:

• three pages of family records
• a paper scrap with Benjamin's parents' birth and marriage dates
• a newspaper clipping entitled "The Fourteenth Amendment, Congress to be Asked to Honor Stephen Neal for Drafting It".  Just below the title appear the handwritten words  Your Mother's Uncle Odie.  Stephen Neal was born in Virginia in 1817 and moved to Indiana after becoming a lawyer.  He was married three times, I believe.  I'd be interested to hear how he connects with the Haugh family. 

From brief online research, hopefully correct - corrections and additions requested:

According to his Indiana Death Certificate, Benjamin Franklin Haugh was born August 19, 1829 in Maryland.  He was the son of Adam Haugh, Sr., and Mary Elizabeth (Reck) Haugh, who, about 1836, moved their family to Indianapolis, Indiana.  

The first Family Record page notes notes Benjamin's marriage to Sislenea Kersey on November 24, 1853 and lists their children: John Adam Elisha Haugh; Benjamin Orim Haugh; Mary Louisa Haugh, who died young; Harry Haugh; and Ida Haugh.

Other pages provide birth, death and age information on:

• Benjamin's brother Adam Haugh, Jr., born October 4, 1826; died July 18, 1850
• Adam Haugh, Sr., born February 9, 1789; died August 13, 1869; this information is written on a Family Record page and on a scrap of paper.
• Mary Elizabeth (Reck) Haugh, born July 17, 1795; died June 23, 1873; her birth date is written in two places, on a Family Record page and on a scrap of paper.  Note:  Her Pennsylvania birth record gives her birth year as 1794.  
• The marriage of Benjamin Franklin Haugh's son Benjamin Orion Haugh [or Orim] to Mary Emma Blake on March 2, 1886
• The birth dates of Benjamin Orion Haugh's children Mary Jeannette Haugh on March 11, 1887; and Benjamin Franklin Haugh, Jr., on December 19, 1893
• The marriage of John Adam Elisha Haugh to Caroline Anderson on December 27, 1887

Sislenea Haugh died in 1886.  The Indiana State Library has in its collection a 12 page booklet entitled In Memory of Mrs. B. F. Haugh.   Benjamin died at Anderson, Indiana, on September 3, 1912.  Benjamin and Sislenea are buried in the Crown Hill Cemetery at Indianapolis, Indiana, with other relatives.

Tintypes of Florence Pavord; Georgie Jamison; Florrie Brown & May Whitcraft; Presumably Connected to Wilmington, Delaware

Two tintypes of two women each, one of Florence Pavord and Georgie Jamison, and the other of Florrie Brown and May Whitcraft.   Women of these names, all born around 1880, lived at or near Wilmington, Delaware.

Florence and Georgie are younger than Florrie and May.  It's possible that Florence Pavord and Florrie Brown are the same person at different stages in life, as a Florence E. N. Pavord, born about 1879, married George Elliot Brown on January 26, 1898 at Wilmington, Delaware.  This Florence was the daughter of Charles and Louisa Virginia (Semans or Lemans) Pavord.

Interestingly, I found an article in the August 16, 1894 issue of the Evening Journal of Wilmington, Delaware, where Charles and Louisa V. Pavord were accused of selling liquor without a license.

Note the maiden name of Georgie's mother, farther below.  Perhaps Semans and Seamans were variants of the same surname, with Florence and Georgie possibly cousins.

The tintype itself:

A tintype of Florrie Brown and May Whitcraft; if Florrie was Florence E.  N. Pavoid, this tintype was taken in a later era:

• Georgia Jamison, born about 1880 at Elkton, Maryland, the daughter of Charles G. and Katy (Seaman) Jamison.  Georgia married Henry Lynch, son of William and Honora (Flynn) Lynch on March 26, 1898 at Wilmington, Delaware.  
• Mary Whitcraft was born about 1878 in Delaware, the daughter of James Alexander Whitcraft and Kate C. (Wells) Whitcraft.  This Mary, who might have gone by the nickname May, was a dressmaker and stenographer at Wilmington, Delaware.  As late as 1940, she was still at Wilmington, Delaware and living with her brother Blanchard Whitcraft.

Autograph Album Presented in 1856 to Martha Washington Naill of Linganore, Maryland

Autograph album presented by I. W. W. on January 1, 1856 to Martha Washington Naill, "Mattie", of Linganore, Maryland.

See another post that features a similar autograph album presented by I. W. W. on January 1, 1856 to Mattie's sister Susannah Ann Marie Naill.

The album measures approximately 7-1/2" by 6-1/4" and contains the sentiments of over 20 of Mattie's relatives and friends.  It was published by J. C. Riker of New York, New York and contains 6 full page engravings.

An alphabetical list of the inscribers, together with any personal information they offered, appears at the end of this post.

From brief online research, hopefully correct:  [corrections and additions requested]

Martha Washington Naill, "Mattie", was born January 10, 1842 in Maryland, possibly Frederick County, the daughter of David Washington Naill and Susannah (Maurer ?) Naill.   Mattie had several other siblings than sister Susannah.  Their younger sister Isabella Bannon Naill added to a page inscribed by four others, one of whom was album owner Mattie herself and Mattie's future husband John Henry Chew.

On April 28, 1881, Mattie became the second wife of John Henry Chew, whose first wife, Matilda (Crusey) Chew, had died in 1878, after the birth of, I believe, 5 children.  John was born in Maryland, possibly at Uniontown, on July 31, 1822.

In addition to the page above, John inscribed facing pages in 1883, after their marriage.

John died in 1889 and Mattie in 1921.  John is buried in the Carrollton Church of God at Carrollton, Maryland; Mattie is buried in the Greenwood Church Cemetery at New Windsor, Maryland.

In addition to Mattie's sister Isabella and her husband John Henry Chew, other relatives who inscribed pages:

• Cousin Amanda of Zanesville, Ohio
• Keziah or Mariah, who inscribed a page on September 9, 1858
• Cousin Elizabeth A. Snader, "Lizzie", daughter of Jacob Snader and Mariah (Naill) Snader, sister of Mattie's father David Washington Naill
• Cousin Mollie A. Snader, presumably Mary A. Snader, daughter of Jacob Snader and Mariah (Naill) Snader, sister of Mattie's father David Washington Naill
• Mattie A. E. Snader - Martha A. E. Snader, daughter of Jacob Snader and Mariah (Naill) Snader, sister of Mattie Washington Naill's father David Washington Naill
• D. M. Sparks of Wyanet, Illinois - Davis Washington Sparks, son of  Joseph S. Sparks and Elizabeth (Naill) Sparks, who was a sister to Mattie's father David Washington Naill.

Autograph Album Presented in 1856 to Susannah Ann Marie Naill of Linganore, Maryland

Autograph album presented by I. W. W. on January 1, 1856 to Susannah Ann Marie Naill, "Susie", of Linganore, Maryland.

See another post that features a similar autograph album presented by I. W. W. on January 1, 1856 to Susannah's sister Martha Washington Naill, "Mattie".

The album  measures approximately 7-1/2" by 6-1/4" and contains the sentiments of over 20 of Susie's relatives and friends.  It was published by J. C. Riker of New York, New York, and contains 6 full page engravings.

An alphabetical list of the inscribers, together with any personal information they offered, appears at the end of this post.

From brief online research, hopefully correct:  [corrections and additions requested]

Susannah Ann Marie Naill, "Susie" or "Sue", was born August 6, 1839 in Frederick County, Maryland, the daughter of David Washington Naill and Susannah (Maurier ?) Naill.  Susie had several siblings other than sister Martha; the Washington who inscribed a page may have been their brother Washington Maurer Naill.

On March 4, 1862 at Frederick, Maryland, or in Frederick County, Maryland, Susie married Basil Pinkney DeVilbiss, who was likely the "Pinkney" who inscribed a page in her album in December 1861 and presumably also "friend P", who inscribed a page in November 1861.  Tucked in with the page inscribed by Pinkney is a poem clipped from a newspaper.

Susie and Pinkney had 5 children, I believe, before Susie died on September 22, 1878 at Johnsville, Maryland.  Pinkney married Sarah Eugenia Booker on December 19, 1882; he died January 7, 1899, also at Johnsville, Maryland.

Several of Susie's cousins inscribed pages in her album:

One sentiment, a particularly sad one, is a copy of a poem by British poet Letitia Elizabeth Landon.  The last sentence is particularly sad.  Landon was born in 1802 at Chelsea, London and died in 1838 off the coast of Ghana, "from an overdose of hydrocyanic acid, which is said to have been accidental".

1881 Letter from James W. Bradbury at Augusta, Maine, to Mr. and Mrs. George W. Childs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

1881 letter written by Hon. James Ware Bradbury at Augusta, Maine, to Mr. and Mrs. George W. Childs, presumably Philadelphia Public Ledger publisher George William Childs and Emma Bouvier (Peterson) Childs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Sadly, the envelope is missing.

Bradbury was expressing regret at having to decline an invitation to the wedding of the Childs' niece.  See a transcription below.

It's possible that the bride, Miss Peterson, and groom, Mr. Carter, were Mary Bouvier Peterson, daughter of Emma Bouvier (Peterson) Childs' brother Robert Evans Peterson, Jr.;  and Robert Harris McCarter, though Mary and Robert did not marry until 1886.  Interestingly, they named their son George William Childs McCarter.

Transcription

Augusta
October 5, 1881
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Childs
My dear Friends,
Please accept my thanks for your kind invitation to the wedding of your Niece.
I assure you it would give me so great pleasure to meet you, especially on so joyful an occasion, that the ___ [? environment ?] of age (more than four score years) and the distance alone prevent my undertaking the journey.  
With the ardent wish that the highest anticipation of happiness of Mr. Carter and Miss Peterson, who are now to unite their destinies in the most sacred and intimate relations, may be more than realized, here and hereafter I remain,
with sincere personal regard,
Very truly yours,
James W. Bradbury

P.S.  Please remember me kindly to the Father and Mother of the Bride elect.

If you believe Miss Peterson was someone else and that Mr. Carter was really  Mr. Carter and not Mr. McCarter, please leave a comment or contact me directly.

Below is the image of a page in an autograph album that was inscribed by Hon. James Ware Bradbury on September 27, 1900, not long before his death on January 6, 1901.

Cabinet Photograph of Henry Warner; taken by the Knight Studio of Elkton, Maryland

Cabinet photograph of a child and an elderly man identified on the reverse as "Uncle Henry Warner".  The photograph was taken by the J. W. Knight studio of 145 East Maine Street, Elkton, Maryland.

I found several possibilities for Henry Warner in the area of Elkton, which is near the borders of Pennsylvania and Delaware.  If you have a theory as to which Henry Warner he was, please leave a comment or contact me directly.

1869-1871 Autograph Album of Henry Rothert of Baltimore, Maryland; Many Pages Inscribed in German

Unusually large autograph album presented to Henry Rothert by his mother, presumably in 1869.  Henry was a student at Baltimore, Maryland, and collected autographs between 1869 and 1871.

I believe the album owner was Henry H. Rothert, born about March 1855 in Maryland to German immigrant parents, but I invite readers' confirmation or alternate theories.  That Henry, a carpenter, married Olga Seiler in 1899 or 1900.  See an image of Henry's house at 4251 Nicholas Avenue in Baltimore.

Note of September 12, 2015:  See the comments section for an alternate theory of Henry's identity and for information on other inscribers.

Many of the pages are inscribed in German.  A genealogist in Germany helped me with identifying names and relationships, but the handwriting was difficult to interpret in places, so other sets of eyes would be helpful. Some readers may be able to decode the initials of Baltimore people they've researched.

Any input would be most appreciated; revisions and/or additions will be incorporated into this post in bold.

The album measures approximately 11-1/2" by 8-3/4" and contains the sentiments of 27 of Henry's relatives, schoolmates and friends.  An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the inscribers, together with any personal information they offered, appear at the end of this post.

If you find a mistake in the captions of any of the images below, if you have a translation of the sentiment, or if you have information on the inscriber, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
