Ulerich family - Part 1 Henry Ulerich & his children

This is an update to an earlier blog posting.  I've learned more about the family and have pictures as well as documents.  The   Ulerich family came from Germany.  As of today, I do not have the immigrant ancestor.  But I do know that they lived in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Washington State.  Ulerich was my mother-in-law's maiden name.  Bolded, underlined names are her direct line.  Majority of the information below is from Federal Census records.

The Ulerich name has several spellings (depending on the census taker, etc).  Spelling variations include Ullerich, Ulrich, Ulerick, Ulerich, Allerich, etc.

I was going to do this as one entry but have decided to split it up.

In 1870, Henry & his family lived in Logansport, Clay Township, Cass County, Indiana.  He was a farmer.  His mother was foreign born.  He cannot read or write.  John was a plasterer.  There is an Ann D. Ulerich living with the family, age 84, and born in Baden and cannot write.  Assumption is that this is Henry's mother.

In 1880, Henry was in Bethlehem Township, Cass County, Indiana.  He is still a farmer and still cannot read or write.  Both parents are listed as being born in Germany.  Eva is the oldest still living at home and has been unemployed for 6 months.  Benjamin has been unemployed for 3 months.  Living next door to him (in 1880) is his son, Henry.  Henry's wife is Martha (age 19, born in Indiana).  Also living with him is his daughter, Lily M (age 1, born in Indiana),  Elizabeth Stringer (age 50, widowed, born in Indiana - I assume this may be Martha's mother), her son, Joseph B (age 15, born in Indiana) and her daughter, Nancy J (age 13, born in Indiana).  Henry is listed as a farm laborer.

In 1900, Henry lived with a second wife, Elizabeth, in Bethlehem Township, Cass County, Indiana.  He's listed as a farmer.  Cannot read or write.

In 1910, Henry lived alone in Bethlehem Township, Cass County, Indiana.  Evidently, by this time he can read and write.

Our Caribbean Cruise Vacation - Part 1 Boston

We left Olympia on October 26, 2015 taking the Capital Aeroporter  (pick up time was 4:40 am) to Sea-Tac Airport. Traffic wasn't very cooperative - ended up taking detours.  Got to the airport about 7:30 am.  We ate breakfast then went on to our gate.  They were already boarding the plane.  Flight left on time and we arrived in Boston at 5:30p Eastern Time.  Contacted our shuttle and it picked us up at 7 pm and took us to our hotel.

Fall colors near our hotel.

We spent the 27th just wandering around the area our hotel was located, getting our bearings and planning the rest of our stay.  

On the 28th, we caught the Beantown Trolley Tour at our hotel.  What a great tour!  It took us to the waterfront at Long Wharf where we caught our free harbor cruise.  Saw the Charlestown Navy Yard (home of the USS Constitution).  We also saw Fenway Park and a few other sites in Boston.

The 29th was another lazy day.  Our weather was wet most of the time.  On the 30th, we left our hotel and boarded our cruise ship.

 

October Birthdays & Anniversaries

A perfect topic for this week . . . We have several birthdays this month in my husband's family.  A niece, Megan Smith Collier and her two children plus two more grand-nephews from another niece.  Here's the kicker . . . 3 of them share the same day of the month.

But we are to talk about my ancestors . . . 

The earliest ancestor to have a birthday in October is Eleanor De Bohun, daughter of Humphre de Bohun and Elizabeth Plantagent, and the wife of James Boteler.  She was born on the 17th of October 1304 and died the 7th of October 1363.  One of the records indicates that her marriage to James took place in October as well.  Her oldest, James Boteler, was also born in October at Kilkenny Castle on the 4th in 1331.  He died on the 18th of October 1382 at Knocktopher Castle.

Joseph Allein & Theodoshia Alleine were married on 4th Oct 1655 in Ditcheat, Somerset, England.  Joseph was born in 1633 in Devizes, Wiltshire, England to Toby Alleine.  Theodoshia was born in either 1616 or 1630 in Ditcheat, Somerset, England to Richard Alleine.  Their daughter, Isabella, married Rev. John Rutherford in the month of October.  Isabella was born in 1655 in Ditcheat, Somerset, England and died in 1740 in Ireland.  John Rutherford was born in 1653 in Morebattle, Roxburghshire, Scotland and died in County Down, Ireland.

Thornburg Mabbit was born on 28th Oct 1799 in Maryland.  Parents are unknown.  He died 9 March 1870 in Madison County, Indiana.  He married Susannah Smith 6th of June 1822 in Wayne County, Indiana.  I descend through their daughter, Elizabeth, who married Christopher Columbus Maynard.  I have conflicting information in regards to birth dates, etc.  I have the same dates for both Thornburg & Elizabeth.  One of them has to be wrong.

Moses Stanley and Ellen Lowe were married 29th of October 1822 in Patrick Co, Virginia.  Ellen was born 4th of May 1803 in Patrick Co, Virginia to Aaron Lowe & Sarah Frazier.  Moses was born 2 of May 1800 in Franklin Co, Virginia to William Stanley and Nancy Mullins.

Sharing Memories Week 24: Some of My Favorite Books

My mom was (and is) an avid reader.  I knew how to read before  I was in Kindergarten.  My first books were the Dr Seuss books.  One of my favorites was Are you My Mother?.  Other favorites included short stories about Little Brown Koko (it was a book that belonged to my dad when he was little).

Summers were spent joining the summer reading program at the local Timberland Regional Library.  Other books I read were the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, a series of books about Sue Barton and her career in nursing, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indians, Narcissus and Marcus Whitman.  I read Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series.  Black Beauty.  Anne of Green Gables series.  Trixie Belden series.  Diary of Anne Frank.

As a teen, I would read my mom's books - Harlequin Romances, books by Phyllis A Whitney, Mary Stewart, Victoria Holt, Barbara Cartland, Georgette Heyer.  I also loved reading all the Charles Schultz Peanuts books.

I still read the various Harlequin Romance series.

Sharing Memories Week 23: Ooh La La, That First Crush

First Crush . . . wow was it Kindergarten?  Probably.  I know that there was a boy in the class that I told mom I was going to marry as soon as we finished the 12th Grade.  I never saw him after we moved away (two years later).

Other Crushes:  I believe I had one when I was in the 4th grade.  Definitely had one when I was in Junior High (7th & 8th Grades).  Oh, and there was one when I was a freshman in high school - he was a senior.
