Request from Sandy: I am trying to find information on a Theodore J. Southworth. I am not a relative, but would like to find any relatives as I have a diary written by T.J. Southworth when he was in the 184th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. He was 42 years old at the time of his enlistment in Granby. This diary has been in my husband's family for decades and I have been trying to find out if there is any connection between the families. My husband's grandfather was I.D. Bramer of Fabius and later Fairport ,New York. His Great Grandfather was Lewis Bramer, Jr. of Fabius New York. Lewis Bramer was also a civil war soldier. So far we just don't have enough to go on. The diary covers Jan-April of 1865. Names mentioned include: Lib, who we believe was his wife; Dewey, maybe a son; and a brother named John. His father dies in the spring of the year, but he does not mention him by name. New York areas mentioned include: Wayne County; Rochester; and Fulton, where we think his brother lived, and Palmyra. This diary is now on line, courtesy of a friend who does civil war research. The site address is : www.skaneateles.org/cw_misc/southworth.html I have been searching census for this man, but can find nothing definite. If you have any information that might help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for your help. Posted 22 August 20000
Request from Sherry: I need your help finding Henry Southworth, who came to Virginia (Lyn Haven, Chicopean Bay) area in 1636 with his wife, Elizabeth Eves and her brother, Jon Eves, my direct ancestor. He is also the direct ancestor of about 12,000 "Eaves" family members in the U.S. and we have all been unable to find his family "across the pond". I thought that perhaps by finding Henry's family, I could find out who his wife's parents were, and therefore Jon's parents. Henry was "a younger son" and therefore did not stand to receive any lands, but he did have some money, apparently, and brought his brother-in-law with him perhaps as an indentured servant. Poor Henry's plans didn't work out very well, and he died soon after his arrival in America. His wife, Elizabeth, remarried to Lt. Richard Popely, we know that much. We also know that the Eves and Southworth families were connected for centuries, intermarrying over and over. The family name was D'Ewyas, and we know our branch came from Ralph "The Timid" de Ewyas de Mantes, nephew of King Edward the Confessor. DO YOU KNOW WHO HENRY WAS??? Thanks in advance for any help you can give us. Sherry at: cameljoe@interl.net Posted 18 August 2000

region of NY. I know my ggrandmother was Bertha Southworth (m. Fred Brown)
and her Sister was Ella Southworth (m. Tim McLean), and they lived in the
Hartwick NY area during the early 1920's. Ella and Tim McLean had a son named
Nelson during this time. Bertha and Ella's father was alive in 1920-1921,
and may have lived in the general area, perhaps not in Hartwick, but I do
not have either his name nor his wife's. I have photos of Earl Southworth,
who also lived in Hartwick and was seen with Fred Brown and Tim McLean in
the 1920's, and Earl may have been Ella and Bertha's Brother or cousin. Also
I have a photos including a man named Charles Southworth with son Jona (circa
1920), a young girl named Louise Southworth, and a photo of Fred and Bertha
with Fred's Mom and "Aunt Nettie" - possibly Nettie Southworth (circa 1920).
Mysterious 1962 color photo of "Aunt Alta" who lived in Cobleskill, NY. Many
Southworth photos, some relatives completely unknown, were professionally
taken, presumably at a (unnamed) studio during the years 1890-1925. I would
like to learn more about the parents of Bertha and Ella Southworth especially,
and the relationship between them and other Southworths (e.g.. Charles, Jona,
and Louise), as well as descendant Nelson McLean. Contact me by email at

who are descendants of Ella Southworth, my Great Grandmother's Sister. Terri
supplied me with a copy of the family tree that extends from Bertha and Ella's
generation and their parents Orrin and Lydia, on back to the year 1600 in
England. I would still like to hear from anyone who can tell me about the
other siblings of Ella and Bertha, and especially their descendants. The
other siblings are Earl and wife Julia, Nettie and husband Will Judkins,
Arthur and wives Lydia and then Lottie, and Lucy, who died in her 14th year.
