Goodfellows Were from Ireland

Goodfellows Were From Ireland

I just received the portions of the Burwell/Tate papers I requested from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. It includes several pictures (most are unidentified); the booklet from the Burwell Family picnic in 1870 at Burwell Farms in Connecticut; Mary Alice Burwell's DAR application; Moses and Isabella's marriage certificate; obituaries for: Moses, Isabella, Nettie, Lydia Wilson (Isabella's sister) and William Wilson (Lydia's husband); and various genealogy notes.

Isabella Goodfellow's grandfather was Moore Goodfellow (married to Isabella or Isabel Nichelson) born about 1779 in the County of Tyrone, Ireland. He came to America in about 1804, first settling in Maryland. After a few years he moved to Ohio where he died on September 11, 1860. Mom found on the Internet a Moore Goodfellow in the War of 1812 Muster Rolls.

What Time Is It: The Ingersoll Watch Company

Recently, I saw a segment about Ingersoll wristwatches circa World War I on the PBS television program Antiques Roadshow . It triggered a flashback to my mother telling me that we’re related to the Ingersoll watch family. At the time, images of Bavarian forefathers living deep in the forest and building cuckoo clocks swirled in my head. Before family lore starts spinning out of control, let’s explore the real story. I can trace at least two family lines, the Bryants of Reading, Massachusetts and the Ingersolls of Long Island, New York to early colonial America, through my great-grandfather, Jerome Calvin Bryant. Jerome and his mother, Mary Ellen Ingersoll, are listed on page 494 of A Genealogy of the Ingersoll Family in America 1629-1925 , by Lillian Drake Avery (click here to view a digital version of the book at FamilySearch). Mary Ellen (Henry Jackson 6 , Henry 5 , Ezra 4 , Josiah 3 , John 2 ,John 1 ) was the seventh generation from the immigrant ancestor born in England, Joh...

George Champion's Parents Found

Mom was on the familysearch.org site last night and found George Champion's parents: George Champion and Eleanor Ellis. We know it's his parents because it lists the same birthplace [Bristol, England] and birth date [24 February 1840]. No other information was found.
