Josiah V. Thompson Family Record Uniontown, Pa Vol. 10 Oak Hill June 11, 1923 9:37 PM In looking through the very old papers sent to me last year by Mrs Mary S. Carroll then having address of Box 35, South Hills Branch, Pittsburgh Pa, wife of C.E. Carroll D.D.S. now of Arlington office Bldg, Arlington at Washington, Los Angeles Calif Phone 760 876, but who is now here in Uniontown Pa at her old home on a visit, I find that on Aug 30, 1910, I had recorded in five or six back fly leaf pages of my cash acct book "K" the full old records of birth, but I find penciled in her handwriting the following record of deaths: Benj Stevens died Feby 21, 1811 aged 73 yrs Elizabeth Stevens died Apr 8, 1810 aged 62 yrs Pricilla Stevens died July 23, 1791 aged 21 yrs Dr Benj (M) Stevens died Jany 4, 1813 aged 38 yrs Sophia Stevens died Mch 20, 1847 aged 70 yrs The first two I take it are man & wife, the third Priscilla, their daughter & Dr Benj, their son & the last, Sophia is his wife nee Peairs, daughter of Elisha & Elizabeth. There is also an old writing, yellow with age & in three pieces with scrolls to the right & bottom & which is the most perfect writing I have ever seen scarcely distinguishable from print as follows: "Filios Erudiamus Solon made a law that those parents should neither be relieved nor regarded in their old age by their children who took no care by a good and virtuous education in their youth to instruct them in all the principles of their duty." V10 Page 2 Oak Hill June 12, 1923 10:15 AM In Clara A. Arbogast's letter of May 23, 1923, she enclosed a printed page report of the secretary of the Oregon Children's Aid Society dated Salem Oregon Oct 8, 1880 & signed Mrs S.C. Adams, Secy & covers two yrs from Sept 5, 1878 & which Mrs Arbogast found in the bible of her grandfather, James Thompson. The larger number of payts were to James Thompson & wife, Manager & Matron. He was Keeper of the home for over six yrs, say 1874 to Oct 8, 1880 to the entire satisfaction of the board of managers & we can proudly say that they have been efficient & faithful to their trust. We can truly say that to the little ones under their charge, they have been father & mother in the highest relations of sympathy, kindness & watchful care." I am returning the report today.

Residence of Clarence M. Finley, Rostraver Tp Westnd Co Pa June 14, 1923 7:45 AM I arrived at this hour & was ushered in by cousin J. Maude Finley & paid her $1050 for 7 yrs int on her $2500 H D C & C Co notes. She told me that her brother Clarence & wife had twins since I was there May 17, 1922 see book 6 page 467 line 23 viz Robert Clare Finley born Oct 4, 1922 Robert Jane Finley born Oct 4, 1922. & also that her cousin Clare Evans son of her father's half brother Thomas Patton Finley, a fine handsome man as per photo she showed me had died in Chicago Ills Feby 21, 1923 aged abt 40 yrs. he was unmarried & the only child of his father who was there on a visit & came in & was V10 Page 10 introduced. He is a fine, well built virile man, well preserved, vigorous & handsome. He said he knew father very well & said he had often visited them. He said Mr Handy a big farmer who came from Cincinnati O lived at Cynthiana, Ky in 1894 or 1895 when he saw him there. He was a Presbyterian & had made up a record of the Handy family embracing a lot of the Finleys. Handy had seen Howard Finley, son of Jim in Texas who had referred him to Thos P. who don't know whether it was published or not. Thos P. Finley lives at 3649 Pine Grove Ave, Chicago Ills, who says he met a Mrs McKinley there, a widow of a lawyer who introduced him to a lady friend aged abt 60 yrs, also a widow who lives with her son there & who it developed was a descendant of a Methodist preacher named Finley who he thought she said was her great grandfather, probably Rev James B. Finley or one of his two clerical brothers. He will get her name & address & send me. She lives in Chicago. They tell me that Mrs Nancy Jack Scott, now in her 90th yr, who I had expected to see today had fallen in Dec last & broke her hip & was now bedfast in the G.A.R. home at Hawkins Sta on the PRR, Pgh Pa when at her brother C.B. Power's later, Mrs Power sd she was at the above home at Swissvale. Left abt 8:30 AM
I arrived here two hours ago & have been talking to Mr Patton. He says his grandfather, Robert Galloway died from infection from being struck in the face or head with the tine of a fork in the hands of his son Samuel who was then but twelve yrs old when they were loading manure. He says his father & mother were married by a Baptist preacher, the Pres. preacher being away from home. He said it was in 1838, but he knew no further date, but his sister, Sarah Ellen McClain says it was in Oct 1838. He says their oldest child, Ann Eliza was born in the Spring House loft at his grandfather Galloway's & the next two, Nancy & Sarah Ellen were born in their grandfather Galloway's little log house, all near the concrete bridge beyond Andrew Brown's from here in Wash Tp, Fay Co Pa. His parents then moved to this house in 1843 & he & all the other children were born here in this house, Wash Tp, Fay Co Pa. At the bottom of the record of his father's children, he gave me on a sheet of paper was: Ralph Patton born June 5, 1861. He explained that he was the illegitimate son of his oldest sister, Ann Eliza Patton. He said his Aunt Margaret McKee nee Galloway see page 6 went to Ohio V10 Page 12 & of her children, he recalls: 1. Elizabeth McKee, unmarried 2. Martha McKee, unmarried 3. Thompson McKee, unmarried, a carpenter 4. Susan McKee, unmarried reported by Mrs McClain. These Mr Patton thinks were all born in Ohio & got to Pgh because their sister, Jane lived there & they lived there together & John S. is not sure but thought they were taken to Ohio for burial but he didn't know what part of Ohio. 5. Mary Ann McKee married Jacob Shoemaker & lived in Ohio 6. Jane McKee married a Birch & moved to Pgh & the others followed. Her children were: 1. Ann the oldest 2. Belle
3. Elizabeth 4. Morris 5. Robert 6. Grant
7. a son with whom Thompson learned carpenter trade 8. He thinks there was another son in the west. (It is 12:30 AM 15th & I am very sleepy & will go to bed.) (June 15, 1923 5:55 AM resuming yesterday's transcribing) Mr Patton's Uncle Samuel Galloway is buried at Rehoboth along the road between the main driveway & the church. His death was prior to that of Stephen Patton. He married Rebecca Reed who was a sister of John Reed whose daughter V10 Page 13 married Wm Patterson. They had three children, viz: 1. A boy died in infancy 2. Anna Maria, who is stone deaf, unmarried & lived with her sister Emma & is still living with her sister Emma's husband Thos M. Patton in Perry Tp, Fay Co Pa on a farm between Perryopolis & Wick Haven Pa two miles north of Perryopolis. 3. Emma, who married Thos M. Patton, son of Hiram Patton & his wife Harriet Wright a granddaughter of the first or early Rehoboth Elder Wright. Emma is dead but Thos M. is living. They had but one child: 1. Lucy Patton who married Dr Colley J. Miller of Brownsville Pa son of John Hiram Miller of Haddenville Pa who is dead & she lives with her father. She has no issue. Joseph Galloway's record as he gave it, is entered on page 6. Robt I. Galloway, whom I knew see page 6 was Col of the militia & once when at a muster at Connellsville Pa with a number of young girls about him, he noticed a button off of his coat & said "Will one of you young ladies sew it on?" & Ellen Cummings jumped & ran to get needle & thread & did so & that introduction, her alacrity & deftness won him & ripened into marriage & it was she who said of him in his late life that "he was real frisky in the mornings". He was once Prothonotary of Fayette Co Pa. She was a sister of Dr Cummings. They, with their only children, Rob & Mrs James L. Paull are buried at Connellsville Pa. Elizabeth was Mrs Paull's name. See her son Joseph R. Paull, Pgh for record.
1. Robert, died unmarried 2. John, he thinks has died, never heard of him marrying. 3. Elizabeth married a McBurney a professor in some school. She is dead he thinks. Thinks she had children. 4. Anne, the youngest daughter is, he thinks, living & unmarried. Said ask Mrs McClain. He said his sister, Ann Eliza's son Ralph Patton went away out west & they have lost all track of him. Mr P. says "better drop that please". He says his sister Sarah Ellen (Mrs McClain) is living in Belle Vernon Pa on Speer St in North Belle Vernon in Westnd Co Pa which you reach by turning as you go in from the west by turning to the left at Kyles store & then again to the left around the Baptist Church just across the street in 2d house in a frame house. She has had 10 children, 4 living. Robert G. Patton D.D.S., his brother.

Allen's on the corner & Naoma Jean told me her mother was lying down & I told her I would be back in about 2 hours. We then drove in to Belle Vernon & were:
This house is in Westmoreland Co & the Fayette Co line is just back of the house. Mrs McClain owns this house & lives on West side with her unmarried son Robert E. & her mar V10 Page 21 ried son Joseph G., a small sized man whom I saw with his family, lives in the east side of the house. Mrs McC's daughter Elizabeth A. Scott owns & lives in the house adjoining on the West. Joseph G's son, John J. & wife live just across the street. Mrs McClain has gone over to Mrs Scott's to get a bottle of ink & Mrs Scott went upstairs & brought down her mother's big bible from which & their joint & combined memories, I made up the record of Mrs McC's family on page 7. Mrs McC. thinks the McKees went to Salem Ohio, but is not sure, but says she often heard them talk of Salem. She says they had a daughter Susan, also unmarried, as well as Elizabeth, Martha & Thompson & she lived with them. Jane McKee, who married a Birch neither of them could give his first name, has a daughter: Mrs Elizabeth J. Smith, living at No 3901 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh Pa E.C. who will be able to give the McKee record & who I must go to see. They showed me a recent letter from her. Mr McKee's name was William. She called him "Uncle Billy" & thinks they were not related to the Francis McKee family. Anna Birch oldest sister of Mrs Elizabeth J. Smith married a Fulton of the family who had the foundry at Pgh in which he had an interest.
Mrs McC. thinks her Aunt Mary Moss (her husband she says was "Uncle James") had 2 boys & 2 girls viz: Robert, John, Elizabeth & Anne. Elizabeth married a McBurney. Anne never married. never heard of Robert & John marrying. Mrs McC's daughter, Margaret T. Speers address is Belle Vernon RD Pa living across the River opposite. They have 7 children living & 2 dead & in order of their ages are as follows:
Sarah, oldest, Stephen, Noah, dead, Ray Finley, John Lawrence, Alden O'Davis, Rebecca Ward, Margaret, Dead, Ward. Write her for record. Mrs Scott's children Sara, Robert & Lois born in Belle Vernon & Roger & Evalyn in Perry Tp, Fay Co Pa Leaving 6 PM It is now 11:11 AM & I must go in town. It is now 7:16 PM & I am resuming. AT Residence of Robert F. Allen, Rostraver Tp, Westnd, Co Pa June 14, 1923 6:15 PM I came here direct from Mrs McClain's & was ushered in by Mrs Allen & she called Mr Allen in. Mrs Allen says her husband's grandmother Allen was a Hough & she thought her name was Mary & said she was a sister of Paul Hough who married a Cook. Mrs Allen gave me the record of her father's family as noted on page 8 & the data lacking about Mr Cook's parentage & the dates of birth of her brother Geo W's children she is going to send me. She says her Uncle Jos G. Patton was the officiating minister at her sister Mary Olive's first wedding. She was due to attend a party at her sister, Mrs Dr Shepler's in West Newton Pa at 8 o'clock, so I bade her goodbye & Left at 7:27 PM & driving to Fairhope stopped at
I found Mr P. & his wife sitting on the porch & explained that it was too late to go into the extended record I wished to get from him & would come back some morning. Mrs Power spoke of his sister being in the G.A.R. home at Hawkins Sta or Swissvale & that although bedfast from the broken hip she sustained in a fall last winter, said her memory of old affairs was better than C.B's & we all agreed that it wd be best to see her first & then go to see him. He said his half sister, Eliza Jane Power (who later married Shff S.W. Boyd) was after her mother's death, taken by her grandfather Torrence who lived where Leiseuring NO 1 now is & was raised there by him. Joseph Torrence of Connellsville Pa was brother of Eliza Jane's mother. Miss Isabel Power, sister of C.B's father, James Power, married Isaac Irwin & their children were: 1. Margaret Irwin married John Blackburn & had a daughter: Esther who married J.P. Sloterbeck of Fayette City where he now lives. She died recently. I think Mrs Adam H. Wycoff was also her daughter. C.B. thought Mr Sloterbeck might have the Irwin records. 2. Elizabeth Irwin, unmarried whom I knew V10 Page 25 3. Rebecca Irwin, married Andrew Robertson, who died 4 yrs ago aged 93 yrs. She died before he did. Of their children, there are 4 boys & 3 girls who are still living at the old home in Rostraver Tp, two miles from West Newton on the West Newton & Monongahela City pike, all unmarried, who might have the Irwin record & would certainly have their parents record & would be delighted to give it. The oldest of the girls is particularly well informed on family matters. They were three other children one being a lawyer in Pgh & another was Isaac I. Robertson now decd late Pres of the F & M Bank West Newton Pa. The old home is a frame house on right hand side of road as you go west. You turn to left a mile out from West Newton for Belle Vernon, but keep straight on the Monon Pike another mile to the Robertson place. C.B. said John Allen who married his Aunt Martha Power was a son of David Allen. Leaving 8:11 PM
The old woman he has keeping house for him is a native of Switzerland. Coming home, I went in town & got my mail & got home at 10 PM It is now 8:35 PM 15th & I am written up to date. JVT
