Thomas Arnold, 1705-1765

February 21, 2012 by Diane Boumenot, One Rhode Island Family

My 8x great grandfather Thomas Arnold is buried in the Union Cemetery, North Smithfield, Rhode Island.

Union Cemetery, Smithfield, R.I.

Today I visited the grave.

In Memory of Mr. Thomas Arnold Esq who died December the 11th AD 1765 in the 61st Year of His Age

Thomas Arnold was married three times and his third wife Patience, who survived him, is buried beside him. Thomas Arnold was a judge, but I am still searching for details of his career.  Of Thomas’ 13 children, the most famous is Peleg Arnold, a lawyer and tavern keeper who represented Rhode Island in the Continental Congress and later served as Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court.

I am descended from the first wife, Susannah Comstock.  I did not see her grave nor can I find her son from whom I am descended, Thomas Jr., in the cemetery or in the Rhode Island Cemeteries Index.  I am seeking more information about Thomas Jr because I am trying to prove that my 6x great-grandmother Lucy Arnold is his daughter.

If Lucy is indeed Thomas Jr’s daughter I am related to Thomas Arnold Sr (of the Smithfield Arnolds: Richard3, Richard2, Thomas1) in the following way:

Thomas Arnold (1705 – 1765)
-Thomas Arnold (1733 – )
–Lucy Arnold
—Mercy Ballou (1778 – )
—-Nancy Ann Aldrich (1800 – 1879)
—–Ellis Aldrich Darling (1824 – 1883)
——Addison Parmenter Darling (1856 – 1933)
——-Russell Earl Darling (1883 – 1959)
——–Edna May Darling (1905 – 1999)= my grandmother

The Decision to Find Your Family

February 18, 2012 by Diane Boumenot, One Rhode Island Family

Some genealogists are born into the hobby.  A mom, a grandfather, or a favorite aunt has been researching for decades and uses gentle encouragement to lure a young person into continuing the hunt.  Or for some genealogists who become intrigued later in life, there are old boxes of information, relatives who wrote things down, or famous ancestors whose details are not hard to find.

And then there’s the rest of us.

Like lots of people, I grew up with two sides of the family, mom’s and dad’s.  Dad’s side were Scottish Highlanders who settled in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia during the Scottish influx of the 1820′s.  Dad lost his father very early, but his mom, who lived to age 100, raised her children to know and love the place where she and her husband grew up.  Even though that part of the family was far away, and seldom seen, I grew up knowing what my heritage was.

That is, until I started thinking about my mom’s family.  This started around age 50.  Although I knew my mom’s parents and grandmother well, they seldom or never spoke about any family background.  Of all of them, I suspect my grandfather was most interested in that sort of thing, but he had a lot of gaps in his own family story, so probably didn’t feel it was possible to discuss the details with children.  And I was the youngest of his 6 grandchildren.  Genealogy is not a youngest child’s game … far better to be an oldest child, and have those generations around longer.

mom's gr-grandparents, Louis and Jessie Murdock

I wondered why there was no “heritage” on my mom’s side.  How could that be?  They must have come from somewhere.  I gradually realized that I had to know.  A lifelong reader, I couldn’t live with having a blank sheet of paper where there should be a story – a story that belonged to me, my mom, my brothers and sister, my cousins, my nephews, and my children.

Well, the paper was not completely blank; it consisted of these names that my grandfather had written down about 50 years ago of his and his wife’s parents and grandparents:

Grampa wrote down his and Grandma's parents and grandparents

Modest as it is, this was the legacy that helped me to get started. And my mother knew not one iota farther back, and knew the birthplace of only one gr-grandparent: Jessie MacLeod was born in Pictou, Nova Scotia (and go figure, I’ve never been able to trace that).  Of my 8 gg-grandparents on this piece of paper, one is adopted, one is a total mystery, two are very murky, and four have amazing stories that go back to the earliest settlements of Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Nova Scotia.  While I am sure I will never be done with this, I’m so glad I got started.

But sometimes I have to wonder, why the mystery?  Why do people not know where they come from?   Of the two families, why was one ignoring its history?

WHY DIDN’T YOU KEEP TRACK?

Recently I spent some time with the wife of a co-worker, who was born and raised in Korea.  She heard about my genealogy interest, and confided, in a nice way, that in the decades she has spent in the U.S., she has never understood what genealogy is all about.  In Korea, everyone knows their ancestors.  Families keep careful records.  No hunting needed.  I could tell that if she wasn’t so pleasant and polite, she would have stood up, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, “Why didn’t you KEEP TRACK?”  And I have to ask myself, why didn’t we keep track?

What stops the average family from carefully noting the coming and going of each generation?  Early on, a lack of literacy?  A lack of paper (thus, writing in the one book in the house, the Bible)?  A lack of interest?  hard feelings?  A belief that this is common knowledge, and will always be known?

Are you a “first generation genealogist”, and if so, why do you think that is?

How To Print Your Own Out-of-Copyright Book

February 8, 2012 by Diane Boumenot, One Rhode Island Family

You know those ideas that are so obvious you can’t believe you never thought of them?  That’s how it was when I heard someone speculate (when talking about electronic vs. paper) that you could probably turn an out-of-copyright digital book back into a paper book by using a book-printing service.

So – I’m thinking – I can take an out-of-copyright PDF book that’s on my laptop, one that I use all the time, and have a brand-new, paperback book made for maybe $15?  OK, this could work.

I settled on volume one of Savage’s A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England for my test.  I logged into Lulu.com and uploaded the PDF.  Well, that didn’t work.  Lulu.com had several objections to make (by way of red error messages): the page sizes weren’t uniform, and I needed to embed the fonts.  Embed the fonts?  That’s a mind boggling thought for something that was typeset 152 years ago.  I think those fonts are gone!

I googled, and I tried a few things.  What many people do is grab the text only and reformat the whole thing into their own new document, with their own fonts.  I had no interest in introducing errors (and work) that way, and I would like to keep any pictures and formatting in place.  One other thing that I did try was to re-size all pages to a (larger) standard size – for instance, placing all pages onto an 8-1/5 x 11 size.  For some reason, lulu.com wasn’t accepting that the pages were now the same size. So I thought a bit, tried some more things, and I did, in the end, make it work.

Please keep in mind that I am printing a personal copy of an out-of-copyright work, for my own use and not for re-sale.  In general, many American works printed before 1923 fall into this category.

So here are the steps that DID work:

  • You must have the full version of Acrobat (not just the Reader).  I happen to have that on my home computer because I use it a lot.
  • You must have the PDF book on your computer.
  • I opened the PDF book in Acrobat:

    the original PDF

  • The first pages, and last pages, which depicted the brown cover, seemed to be a different size, so I deleted them.  You can see the size of each page by hovering your mouse near the bottom of the page until a box opens up showing the dimensions.  I learned that if the size of the pdf is slightly smaller that the size of the finished book that you select in Lulu.com, it may work, but to be safe, decide on a finish size acceptable to  Lulu.com FIRST, resize the pfd at this point to that exact size, and proceed with the next steps.  You re-size a pdf by choosing Document–>Crop Pages–>Change Page Size to–>Custom (be sure to choose Page Range=All).
  • Then I used “Save As” to save the book as a TIFF file.  Giving this command results in each page becoming a separate TIFF file, neatly lined up, in order, in the folder where you had the original PDF.  This takes several minutes.

    page by page, the TIFF file is built automatically

  • Next, you recombine those files using File–>Combine–>Merge Files into a Single PDF.  This opens up a window that asks you to grab your pages and drop them in.  You should keep them in order.

    drag and drop the pages into the Combine screen

  • In the bottom corner there is a “File Size” selector – I used the largest size.  Click “Combine Files”.  It will take a few minutes.
  • The resulting new PDF has lost some clarity, but it’s not too bad.

    the pdf ready for printing

  • The resulting PDF is called “Binder1″ – you should rename it.  Around this time, I worried that I still needed to have the “embed fonts” option turned on (even though there really were no fonts at this point, only pictures) but I need not have worried, that setting was already on in my Acrobat software.  I also deleted those hundreds of single-page documents from my computer.
  • Log into Lulu.com or another book-printing service, upload the new PDF, create a cover, check everything carefully, and order.  If you have not exactly matched the page size, Lulu.com will give one pink warning that the page size doesn’t exactly match the trim size of book but ignoring that should be ok – you just risk that the print will drift to one side of the paper instead of staying in the middle.  I printed in the 6 x 9″ size.  With an email discount coupon I had, and shipping, the 532 page book came to $16.10.

The book arrived today:

finished book - I chose a fanciful Rhode Island logo for the cover

This was very little work, once I figured it out.  The type is a little grainy but better than what I pictured as a PDF, above.   For a reference book that you won’t be reading cover-to-cover, it’s nice to have.  If I owned InDesign I could probably do a better job.

The Brick Wall Stories: Lucy Arnold, Part 3

February 6, 2012 by Diane Boumenot, One Rhode Island Family

Since post one and post two on Lucy Arnold, I have been unable to pursue most of the on-site research I need to do, but I have pursued some research on a number of collateral lines that I was able to do from home.

The problems:

Lucy Arnold married Richard5 (John4, John3, John 2, Maturin) Ballou in Smithfield, Rhode Island around 1777 and they became the parents of nine children, of which my ancestor, Mercy Ballou, is the oldest, born in 1778.  I am trying to determine:

  • whether Lucy Arnold is the daughter of Thomas5 (Thomas4, Richard3, Richard2, Thomas1) and Rachel.
  • the likely family of Thomas’ wife, Rachel (possibly Smith).
Here is what I learned:
  • According to Benson’s Arnold book (see below), a Greene manuscript (see below) is his source that Rachel was a Smith.  Another possible clue that I noticed is Benson’s reference on page 242 that

“Thomas [Arnold] purchased 4 acres of land from Thomas Smith on 20 June 1767″ (p. 242).

  • Looking around, I find a Smithfield land owner named Thomas4 (Thomas3, Edward2, Christopher1) Smith, (1697-1777), who was the son of Thomas and Phebe (Arnold) Smith.  Thomas Smith would be Thomas Arnold’s second cousin once removed.  Thomas Smith was a Quaker who married twice and inherited Smithfield property from his father, and his birth in 1697 is noted in Benson’s Arnold book.  It’s doubtful he is Rachel’s father because I think this would have been caught by now, but it would be good to pin down exactly who the seller “Thomas Smith” was.
  • Like most early Rhode Island residents, the Arnolds were opposed to the various New England authoritarian churches.  Some of the Smithfield Arnolds were Quakers, and were instrumental in establishing a Meeting in Smithfield.
  • My branch of the Thomas Arnold family were driven out of Massachusetts after they became Baptists.  They settled in Providence and later Smithfield, Rhode Island.
  • The Ballous were active in the Six Principle Baptist Church in Cumberland.

    Elder Ballou Meeting House, Cumberland, R.I.

  • In line after line of the ancestors of these Ballou, Arnold, and Aldrich families, who all ended up in Smithfield/Cumberland/Wrentham, I notice that many branches came from nearby Mendon, Mass.  Other branches were among the original founders of Providence. In terms of narrowing down the Smiths, this means that Rachel Smith could possibly have been descended from a Mendon family of Smiths, as well as several early Providence Smith families. I suspect that if my current lead about the land transaction is a dead end, it may take me a long time to prove anything about her.
  • The Ballou book (see below) has become more and more valuable as I attempt to place these people in a historical context.  For the first time, I realized that the discrepancies I see about Cumberland, R.I. and Wrentham, Massachusetts are because it was the same place.  I knew that “Attleboro Gore” was a Massachusetts settlement that transferred to Cumberland, R.I. around 1745; what I didn’t realize was that the Cumberland section my ancestors lived in WAS Attleboro Gore.  This will help me to further investigate land records.
  • Comparing family connections among the Thomas Arnold (1733 – ) and Richard Ballou families has resulted in lots of distant connections, none of which seem significant.  I believe Richard Ballou acquired his property through his own family (NOT from his wife’s father), but I need to look at each of his deeds.

Next steps:

  • Find old maps of the households in Attleboro Gore/Cumberland.
  • Pursue Cumberland deeds and also Smithfield deeds (which may be in Central Falls) for Thomas Arnold and Richard Ballou’s activities (already have one for Richard Ballou)

and two steps from the last post that have had to wait:

  • Check out Union Village in person, and also Union Cemetery
  • Research John and Mary Smith

A Visit to the Westerly Genealogy Room

January 31, 2012 by Diane Boumenot, One Rhode Island Family

The Local History and Genealogy Room of the Westerly (Rhode Island) Public Library has reopened in an attractive new space on the second floor.

The Westerly Public Library, 44 Broad Street, Westerly, Rhode Island

I visited today.  After parking around the corner, I made my way to the second floor and asked for the Special Collections room.  Since the room seems to be staffed by friendly, helpful volunteers, it is only opened for limited hours.

interior of the Westerly Library

I was really impressed when I got in there. Apparently the old basement room has been replaced by an airy and bright room on the second floor with historic charm.  The book collection was fairly extensive, including standard Rhode Island and New England genealogy reference books, family-name books, and local history books covering southern Rhode Island and nearby southeastern Connecticut.

The Local History and Genealogy Room

I went there to research my Lamphere line. There was a Vertical File, and the staff found me a folder on the Lampheres in that cabinet.  Inside the folder there were some interesting documents:

folder of Lamphere materials

including a bible page:

Thankfull Lanphear and some members of the Vose family

The materials in the folder were interesting but a first reading didn’t reveal much; I’ll examine my 115 pictures from home.  Then I perused the stacks.  Some of the books were non-standard compilations donated by individuals.  Sadly, there was not all that much available on the Lampheres.   I did find a list of those buried in the local River Bend Cemetery (River Bend Cemetery (Westerly Historical No. 8), compiled by Dwight C. Brown, Jr, and A. R. Brown, 1993).  I also did some checking in the compiled books of vital records that were on hand.

In this section, books and documents were filed by family name - you can see that some works are privately published.

Lacking anything new (to me) for the Lampheres, I branched out.  Many local families are either tied to my Lamphere line, or may be: Crumb, Minor, Andrews, Tefft. In an old “mug book” for New London County (Connecticut), I found some brief summaries of family history which were interesting reading and gave a good (and MAYBE accurate) overview of those families.  In the Crumb Vertical File folder, there was a typed copy of a 1904 Westerly Sun newspaper article about Crumb family history.

from the window, there is a view of downtown as well as the red roof tiles

There is also an extra card catalog containing what must have been the work of a lifetime by some local genealogist; 6 drawers of card-by-card notes on individuals, with sources. These did not contain my ancestral lines but would be of interest to those researching other old local family names.

a regular card catalog, and an extra set of genealogy cards

Then I got more interested in the local materials. There were two small books about the town of Norwich which gave me a whole new view of that town; it was an industrial center in Connecticut during the first part of the 1800′s, when my ancestors moved there from Westerly (Norwich, Connecticut, Its Importance as a Business and Manufacturing Centre and as a Place of Residence, issued by the Norwich Board of Trade, Norwich: Press of the Bulletin Company, January, 1888 and Norwich Century of Growth, Part 1: The Mill Bell Tolls, by Eleanor B. Read, Norwich, CT: The Franklin Press, 1978).

Cotton Mill at Norwich "Falls", where my ancestors lived in the 1840's

I still need to go to the Westerly Town Hall to look at deeds and probate records.  That is located across the street. IF I had remembered to bring a standard-issue genealogist’s peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich in my research bag, I could probably have crossed the street and worked there until 5.  sigh.  Rookie mistake!!!
