  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

  • Profile of Benjamin Woodworth by Eloise Kelly Diehr
    Benjamin Woodworth by Eloise Kelly (Courtesy of Eloise Lavin, edited by Joanne Steckling) Benjamin Woodworth was born in Scituate, Massachusetts, Jan 13, 178?1 He was a man of many trades, a large bluff man with a big voice, a carpenter, builder, stone cutter, brick maker and an architect of sorts. He came to Detroit in 1803 where he thought there would be more demand for his services. General Hull had been appointed the first Governor of Michigan and his house, as he put it, “was not befitting a man of his importance.” He asked Ben Woodworth if he could build one more suitable for him. When Ben told him he could but he would need some experienced men to help him—the Governor said he and his “cabinet” were going to see the President on government business, and asked him to go with them, and then to go home and find men to bring back to help him. They could meet at a designated place and return with them to Detroit. Mr. Woodworth found two men he had worked with, joined the Governor’s party and reached Detroit in 1804. The first thing he did after they returned was to locate and lease a piece of land with clay on it, set up a kiln, and began making bricks with which to build the Governor’s mansion. By 1807 he had completed a frame house for himself on Randolph Street and Woodbridge, and he married Rachel Dix. By then the bricks were ready to use and he built a mansion for the Governor and then built a brick building for the Detroit Bank on the northwest corner of Jefferson and Randolph Streets.

    History and Genealogy OF DEACON .JOSEPH EASTMAN of Hadley, Mass., Grandson of ROGER EASTMAN of Salisbury, Mass. By GUY S. RIX, Concord, N. H. WITH PREFACE AND INTRODUCTION BY M. EMILY EASTMAN, Who has re-compiled it, adding all records sent to her Published and for sale by M. EMILY EASTMAN, Westfield, Mass. MRS. R BLAIR EASTMAN SEE 22B THE MOTHER OF THE PUBLISHER Publisher's Preface DEAR COUSINS: r am not going-to-write a lengthy preface, but will just tell you how I started in on this work. First,. I found a package of old and yellowed papers, tied carefully together, which, on opening, I found to 'be the Key to the answer to a question I had often asked my father when I was a child; it was, "Haven't you some cousins, papa?" (None were ever known to me.) His answ,er always was what a busy man's usually is, and suggested he didn't have time to explain, "Yes, lots of them, but they're away out West." By the contents of this package I found father had four uncles and three aUllts who married. That suggested there might have been lots of cousins, and I made the-endeavor to find out about them and succeeded far beyond my expecta­ tion. You will find the result if you begin at the family of Benjamin2 and follow it out. Only one own cousin of his was then (1903) living. In that search Mr. Rix helped me, as he has also helped in the records of this book by compiling and sending· me all that he had of this branch of the family.

  • Dix Family History by Eloise Kelly Diehr
    The Dix Family By Eloise Kelly Diehr, courtesy of Eloise Lavin (Editor’s note: I have copied this file as created by Eloise Diehr. Any changes are noted. As explained in the first paragraph, some of this account is derived from family tradition, so its accuracy has not been verified.) This story told to Christian James Kelly by his grandmother Sarah Dix Steers and his mother Sarah Ann Steers Kelly—in turn told to me by my father, C.J. Kelly when I was twelve years old when I wrote it down. The story, together with information furnished by Francis F. Steers, N.Y.C., Edward Dicks of Plymouth, Mich, Lewis Young of Sanford, Mich, verified and added to by extensive historical research, documents on hand and vital statistics. Detroit Riverfront 1819 Scant information of the early history of the Dix family. Jacob Dix family originated in Alsace Lorraine, then a part of France lying on the German border. Johanna of German descent—her family name not spoken of, or if she was born in Germany. Not know when Jacob came to America or if any of his family came with him. He lived in Boston, Mass. or close vicinity, married Johanna and when they started west they had a son John, then six years old, the year 1781. This would establish John born in 1775—they would have been married no later than 1773 or 1774. Due to the ever changing Governors sent from England to govern the colonies—and fighting over their boundaries, there was constant wars between them—resulting in the homes being burned and lands confiscated—these families who were the victims began to look for other places to settle where they could keep their lands.

  • Walter Woodworth of Scituate, Mass”
    Introduction by Marvin Woodworth to William Atwater Woodworth’s book, “Descendants of Walter Woodworth of Scituate, Mass” The copyright to this book expired in about 1978. Since the copyright has expired, I have scanned and digitized the book which follow, and placed it on the Woodworth web site as a service to Woodworth genealogy researchers. HOWEVER, THIS BOOK SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION AS A DATA SOURCE, AS SOME SOURCES USED BY WILLIAM ATWATER WOODWORTH HAVE SINCE PROVEN TO BE IN ERROR, CAUSING ERRONEOUS DATA TO BE ENTERED IN HIS BOOK. William Atwater Woodworth’s (or WAW’s) book is both humorous, witty, and factual, and is a true pleasure to read. Of special interest to me are the letters from WAW’s correspondents in the 1800s. Some of these letters purport to record old family legends that reveal the “true facts” of the origins of Woodworths in America, and yet these letters conflict with one another. Some of the data in this book can be damaging to one’s genealogy records if used. WAW did not have the benefit of Walter’s will when he wrote his book, nor could he have been aware that a vital record in Little Compton, Rhode Island concerning a “Walter, Jr” and family has proven to be in error. Also, a Reverend Samuel Dean’s book, on whom WAW relied, had erroneous data concerning the alleged early death of Walter’s son Benjamin in King Philips War. Instead, Benjamin lived to an old age and was the executor of Walter’s will. So, enjoy this book.

  • Mcarthur-Barnes
    McArthur-Barnes ANCESTRAL LINES By SELIM WALKER McARTHUR, M.D. PORTLAND, MAINE THE ANTHOENSEN PRESS 1964 McARTHUR-BARNES ANCESTRAL LINES INTRODUCTION Mrs. Gillette Barnes McArthur, wife of the late Dr. Selim W . McArthur, has honored me by asking me to write a brief to his work. My association with him began when, thirty years ago, he began to search the printed sources of The Newberry Library. This book is the product of many years of research during which time he collected data, sparing no effort to make the accounts of each family authentic. He utilized family sources of information, official records, numerous printed sources and extensive corre­ spondence, his enduring ambition to superimpose "dry as dust" names and dates upon historical facts and biographical incidents. Unfortunately, Dr. McArthur did not live to see the culmina­ tion of his effort in print. In May, 1962, nine months after his death, Mrs. McArthur decided to publish this volume as a me­ morial to her late husband. At that time the manuscript in three large folios was given to Mr. Donald Lines Jacobus, distinguished in the field of genealogy as author, editor and publisher. Mr. Jacobus had aided Dr. McArthur in solving some of his difficult research problems, and his chief task with respect to this publica­ tion has been to arrange, condense and edit the vast amount of material assembled by Dr. McArthur. However, according to Mr. Jacobus, the manuscript contains much of value not utilized in this edition. It is now a part of the manuscript collections of The Newberry Library.
