Albert and Amelia Beckman - A complicated history Family Connections- Great-grandfather and great-grandmother of Anna Elnora Rosemeyer Albert and Amelia Beckman immigrated from Germany in March 1872. Little is known (yet) about their parentage or history before that time. Although some family members indicate that Amelia's maiden name was Brewster, I have not yet found any textual evidence for that - I'm still looking. Albert was born in October 1845 in Germany. Amelia was born in 1849 in Germany.  Here's what is known - Albert was 26 and Amelia was 23 when they sailed on the ship "Ohio" from Bremen to Baltimore with children William, age 2, and Anna, age 9 months.  From the 1880 census, Albert and Amelia were living at 188 Daugherty St. in Indianapolis.

 Reuben Babcock - Northborough Minuteman Family Connection - 4th great-grandfather of Ruth Ann Bradley Reuben Babcock was born in 1755 to William and Lydia (Bush) Badcock in Marlborough, Massachusetts. He was the youngest of six children.  First, let's deal with the name. William and his ancestors used the name Badcock, and that was Reuben's birth name, but at the time of the American Revolution, many colonists with the name Badcock or Badcocke began using Babcock instead, rejecting the "British" spelling. So, technically Reuben was born a Badcock, but after the Revolution, he changed it to Babcock. So, to minimize confusion, I'm using a shortcut - Reuben and his family are referred to as Babcock in this blog.  Little is documented of Reuben's early life, but in 1775 in Northborough (North Marlborough), Reuben became a Minuteman.  In the spring of 1775, Northborough, along with many other tows in Massachusetts, began training a local militia to be ready to def...

Hello Everyone! I don't know about you, but Dave and I have been watching and enjoying Ken Burn's new PBS series on the Revolutionary War.  So, I got inspired and spent a couple days tracking down who in the family trees fought in the Revolutionary War. Of course, no Rosemeyers - they were all still in Germany at that time.   But I did find enough Revolutionary War veterans across the three other trees to keep me busy for the next two months or so, starting tomorrow. Hazen family followers - you'll have to wait another week - I have one last Mayflower passenger on the Hazen tree to talk about. Stay tuned.... Starla
