Mead Trail Blazers 2nd edition Compiled by Yvonne Putnam 1 Introduction There is a Spanish proverb, which paraphrased says: “Each person dies three times. The first time is when the body stops functioning, the second is when (s)he is buried, and the third is when the person’s name is spoken the last time.” The more I learn about our family members who came before us, the more convinced I am that each of them, in their own way, were indeed Trail Blazers, and have many qualities which are worthy of cultivating into our own lives. They are certainly deserving of being remembered, and shouldn’t die that last time. In addition to my own research, this book is a compilation of a lot of other people’s work, and I certainly do not claim it all as my own. (Of course, any mistakes found within these pages are my doing and I admit it freely.) I’m grateful for those who have done the research and made it available. Also, this is simply stories of our ancestor’s lives. Specific genealogical information can be found at www.familysearch.org or I would be happy to make copies of my files. 2 Table of Contents M= Mead Line; Y = Yarwood Line Albro, John (Y). 100 Appendix . 101 o Ancient & Honorable Artillery Co. 162 o Bakery Prices . 129 o Bakery Recipes . 101 o Coat of Arms & Symbolism . 165 o Caroline Yarwood Recipes . 138 o David Yarwood Story (Martyred Missionary). 139 o Glossary . 167 o Grandma’s Recipes . 132 o Pastry Patters . 111 o Maps . 168 o Masons . 161 o Our Immigrant Ancestors . 163 o Quakers. 162 Barker Family (Y) . 52 Boone Family (M) . 47 Borden Family (Y) . 79 Cassel, Arnold (M) . 59 Clark Family (Y) . 57 Coggeshall Family (Y) . 53 Coles Family (M) . 86 Congdon Family (Y ) . 92 Cresson, Pierre (M) . 59 De La Plaine, Nicholas (M) . 61 Dixon Family (Y) . 39 Drury Family (M) . 38 Dungan Family (M) . 57 Easton Family (Y) . 74 Eldred Family (Y). 61 Fowle Family (Y) . 76 Gardiner Family (Y) . 76 Greenway, John (Y) . 69 Havens Family (Y) . 34 Hobbs Family (Y) . 29 Holden Family (Y) . 93 Holmes Family (Y) . 81 Huling Family (Y) . 98 Knowles Family (Y) . 64 Latham Family (Y) . 54 Marbury & Dryden Families (Y) . 88 Maugridge Family (M) . 46 Mead, Arthur Albert (M & Y) . 5 Mead, George Milton (M) . 12 Mead, Jackson Henry (M) . 23 Murdoch / Johnston Family (M) . 32 Op Den Dyck Family (Y) . 94 Parsons, Lorenzo (M) . 31 Phenix Family(Y) . 99 Perce (Percy) Family (Y) . 87 3 Potter, Robert (Y) . 65 Powell, Thomas (M) . 85 Richmond Family (Y) . 66 Rodman Family (Y) . 73 Scott Family (Y) . 76 Smith, Richard (Y) . 99 Stafford Family (Y) . 91 Townsend Family (M) . 85 Walling Family (Y) . 94 Washburne Family (M) . 86 Weddle Family (Y) . 42 Wightman Family (Y) . 90 Willets Family (M) . 44 Yarwood, Charles Edward L& Caroline Hobbs (Y) . 19 Yarwood Family (Y) . 24 4 Arthur Albert & Elizabeth Yarwood Mead Arthur Albert Mead , or “Art” as he was called, was born 30 Jun 1908 at Kansas City, Mis- souri to George Milton Mead and Julia Elizabeth Johnston Mead.
