Sold Boston property, June 13, 1661 and moved to Hadley. Agreed to keep ferry between Hadley and Northampton in 1661, which he, son John, and grandson James operated until 1758. The Court at Hadley formalized fares and conditions for the ferry in January 1675, June 1677, and in 1687. He was selectman a number of times, and served on various town committees. Joseph was named Sgt. of the military company ('train band') March 1663, Ens. in the Foot Company May 9, 1678, and Lt. of the same company October 7, 1678. He served as Lt. under Capt. Aaron Cook, Jr. until 1692. Was in charge of the Hadley troops at the Turners' Falls Fight on May 18, 1676.

His Will dated June 27, 1707 and proved February 4, 1708. (See Joseph Kellogg's Will)

Lieutenant Joseph Kellogg, son of Martin Kellogg, was baptized at Great Leigh, County Essex, England, April 1, 1626, died in 1707. He was the immigrant ancestor, and settled in Farmington, Connecticut, where he was living in 1651. He and his wife joined the church October 9, 1653. He sold his house lot in 1655 and removed about 1657 to Boston. On October 19, 1659, he bought of Peter Oliver his dwelling house on the street to Roxbury. He sold his property June 13, 1661, to John Witherden. This lot of land is now occupied by the Advertiser Building on Washington Street. He paid ce 700 for it at one time. He removed to Hadley, and the town made an agreement with him in 1661 to keep the ferry between Hadley and Northampton. He built his house on a small home lot, which had been reserved by the town for a ferry lot. He was given leave also to entertain travelers. In 1677, the town voted to pay him ce 40 for the loss of his team, which had been impressed for the country's service, and for ferriage for soldiers. He and his son John and grandson John kept this ferry until 1758, almost a century. Stephen Codman, who married his daughter, kept it still later. The last name of the ferry was Goodman's Ferry.

Joseph Kellogg was selectman of Hadley many years. In 1686, he was on a committee to lay out lands, and for the purchase of Swampfield from the Indians. He and his sons had grants of land in Hadley. He was sergeant of the military company in 1663, and May 9, 1678, was appointed ensign of the foot company. In October 7 of the same year he was made lieutenant, serving until 1692. He was in command as sergeant of the Hadley troops in the famous Turner's Falls fight, May 18, 1675. His will is dated June 7, 1707, and proved February 4, 1708, giving the year of his death. He married (first) probably in England, Joanna (???), who died in Hadley, September 14, 1666; (second) Abigail Terry, born in Windsor, Connecticut, September 21, 1646, daughter of Stephen Terry, the immigrant. Her will was dated May 29, 1717, and proved October 31, 1726. His wife Abigail was before the court in 1673 for wearing silk, contrary to the law, but was acquitted. It was shown at the trial that her husband's estate was below the ce 200 necessary to allow her to wear "gold or silver lace, gold or silver buttons," etc.

Obituary for Evelyn A. Vavra

A Funeral Mass for Evelyn will be held on Friday, May 27, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Geneva. Father Tom Walsh will officiate the service.

Graveside services will follow the funeral and be held in the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Geneva.

Visitation will be Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Farmer & Son Funeral Home in Geneva.

A Rosary will be prayed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Geneva.

Evelyn Ann Kempkes Vavra was born to Henry N. Kempkes and Ann Kotmel Kempkes on July 26, 1921 at Crete, Nebraska and died May 22, 2016 at Fairview Manor, Fairmont, Nebraska. One of six children, she grew up as a farmer's daughter in the Crete, Friend and Fairmont, Nebraska communities. She attended grade school at District 18 in Crete and District 100 in Friend. She completed her freshman year at Friend High School in 1934 and graduated from Fairmont High School with the class of 1938.

On May 15, 1939, she married Leslie D.Vavra of Friend, Nebraska at St. Stephen's Catholic Church in Exeter, Nebraska. To this union six children were born. A baby granddaughter, Paula, was taken into their home in 1963 after the accidental death of Paula's mother, Barbara Corallo Vavra. Paula was raised and loved as the family's seventh child.

Evelyn loved children? especially, her grandchildren! She will not only be remembered by her family as a loving homemaker, mother and grandmother, but also as a C.C.D. & C.Y.O. teacher for the children of St. Stephen's, Exeter and St. Joseph's, Geneva parishes for many years.

Evelyn was employed as a dental assistant for Dr. G. H. Liggett for 6 years. After moving to Geneva from their farm in Exeter in 1974 with her husband, Leslie and daughter, Paula, she was employed by the Fillmore County Hospital. She served as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Certified Social Services Designee for 13 years before retiring in 1986 to care for her husband who was suffering from Parkinson's disease. In 1992, she once again worked as Social Service Designee at Fairview Manor in Fairmont, where Leslie then resided.

Evelyn's service to her community was extensive. She served as an officer on St. Stephen's Altar Society for 6 years. During the periods when her four sons were serving their country (three in Vietnam) she was a member of the American Legion and V. F. W., serving as president of the American Legion Auxiliary in Exeter. After her own experience of caring for her ill husband, she was led in March of 1990 to form a support group for other family caregivers. With the help of others, she organized and coordinated, "Friends of Family Caregivers," which proved very supportive for people caring for loved ones in their homes. During this time, she was also a member of the St. Joseph's Catholic Church Council, serving 7 years on the Evangelization Committee. In addition, she volunteered in prison ministry and spent several years visiting and counseling youth at the Geneva Youth Development Center.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Leslie D. Vavra; her parents, Henry N. Kempkes and Ann Kotmel Kempkes; her brothers, Franklin Kempkes, Carleton Kempkes and Henry Kempkes, Jr.; her sister, Darlene Kempkes Jowers; her brother-in-law, Leonard Swiercinsky; her sister-in-law, Jayne King Kempkes; her daughters-in-law, Barbara Corallo Vavra and Sherry Zimmerman Vavra; her son-in-law, Max Rhoads; her grandsons, Neal Christopher Koenig and Christopher D. Gooch; and great-grandchildren, twins, Megan & Bradley Koenig and Alexander Slechinger's twin sister, Emily.

Evelyn is survived by her three daughters: Connie Vavra Koenig and husband, Alfred of Brunswick, Maryland; Ann Vavra Gooch Rhoads of Goddard, Kansas; and Paula Vavra Anderson and husband, Darrell of Geneva, Nebraska; four sons: Jerry Vavra and wife, Marty of Gates, Oregon; Paul Vavra of Cheyenne, Wyoming; Michael Vavra and wife, Charlotte of Wichita, Kansas; and Joel Vavra and wife, Elaine of Crete, Nebraska; her sister, Kathryn Kempkes Swiercinsky of Savannah, Georgia; her sister-in-law, Marge Glazier Kempkes of Wichita, Kansas and her many grandchildren. During her lifetime, Evelyn took great pride and joy in her 21 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. Many times she remarked, "how richly blessed I am in grandchildren? I'm leaving my mark in descendants? there's no doubt about it, I've been here!" Her final legacy for her descendants was the writing of her family history book, "Ninety Years of Life" in 2011. Her book has been donated to several Nebraska libraries.

Elizabeth

Judy Willis writes that "After Pierce H's death in 1899, I believe Elizabeth (Kennedy) married Pierce's brother Charles (3/6/1855 New York, NY to 1/14/1907 Little Rock, AR). This scenario is based on the 1900 census - Little Rock, AR, ED 71 - which lists a Charles Paudert, wife Bolt, son Eddie, and daughter Annie M. By the 1910 census, Elizabeth is a widow.

Let me know if you locate anything different on these marriages. This is the only scenario that makes sense based on what I've found during my research. I can only guess that "Bolt" was a nickname since her DOB and Elizabeth's match.

Not to add confusion to this BUT Pierce H. was first married to Ada Florine Crenshaw (10/22/1865 TN to 3/15/1934 TN). They had a daughter: Henrice D. Paudert "Hennie" (1/28/1899 to 12/3/1966). I know Hennie was born in TN and died in Memphis."

John Marcus

Abt 1870

Yes, date unknown

"It was stated in a book written by Genelle McDaniel that Mary Bell Dyer the young widow of John Marcus Kennedy was on the way to texas when a young man named Elbert McLemore (?) Metand (?)married Her so it looks like John Kennedy Died in Tennessee and Mary Bell Dyer Kennedy McLemore went on to texas "

Source:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/k/e/n/Morris-J-Kennedy-ii/GENE3-0006.html

This appears to be supported by the 1880 census, in which Bell Kennedy is listed as widowed, and living with Vola and Oley in the home of her in-laws in Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1900, she is remarried to Elbert McLemore and they are living in Fisher County, Texas, again with Vola and Oley.

It is possible, however, that Bell and John Marcus Kennedy simply divorced, as some researchers believe this listing, shown on FindAGrave, could be attributable to John Marcus Kennedy. The dates are Oct 4, 1869 to 6 Jan 1899.

On Brenda Eliott's webpage, (http://www/uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/BrendaElliott/ELLIOTT), Joseph's wife is shown as Eleanor McKenny(Kenny). It is noted that she was born in 1802. On the Rootsweb WorldConnect Project: Latest family tree update prepared by Yvonne Ramsell Simonson (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=:393199&id=i4027), it is shown and Eleanor McKenney was born in the USA to Irish parents.

The only other family with the surname Kenny listed on the 1850 Rappahannock County, VA census was 48 year old Sylvanus Kenny, who was married to a 37 year old woman named Ann. This apparently was a second marriage, as his oldest child was 27 year old George W Kenny. There are 10 other children listed in his family. (Family 170). Living two homes away is 26 year old George W. Kenny with his 26 year old wife Susan. Was George W. listed in both households? Or were there two George W. Kenny's approximately the same age? Could Sylvanus have been Ellen's brother, perhaps even her twin as their ages are shown as the same? I noted that Sylvanus himself had twin sons, 16 year old John and Robert.

Becky Asif found the following database online: It shows Andrew Kenney having 2 daughters Eliza(1802) and Elender(1807). http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2829461&id=I239&ti=5535

She also found a marriage record of Sylvanus and Ann KENNY, as follows: SALVANUS KENNY ANN HEFLIN 12 January 1825 Fauquier

Kenny-Stadler Connection

The following is meant to show the connection between the three KENNY children (Eloiza, Sylvanus, & Richard) and Jacob STADLER. In the first part, monies were to be collected from the sale of slaves with the proceeds to be divided between the complainants and the defendants. The second is the actual appraisal to the court of the slaves. The third is the carrying out of the dispersal of some of the monies to the defendants (the minor children). In the third part is the phrase "grandfather's estate" instead of the name "Jacob STADLER."

It is believed that Jacob STADLER is not a blood grandfather, but one by marriage. A HORTON was probably the actual grandfather, but was dead by this time. Here is the reason why.
In the will of William KERNES, one of his daughters is referred to Elizabeth STADLER, wife of Jacob STADLER. There is also a reference in the KERNES will to his grandson, Benjamin HORTON. As the mother of the KENNY children was a HORTON (marriage lisence), and STADLER is referred to as a grandfather, it is safe to assume that Elizabeth KERNES STADLER was previously married to a HORTON. An unconfirmed source has this HORTON as Benjamin HORTON, born 1750 in Stafford Co, VA.

Ervin W. Kaercher, who has been employed in the Chronicle office for nearly a year, left Monday morning for Detroit, where he has secured employment. Ervln has made a large number of friends during his stay in Cass City and all join in wishing him success in his new venture. Wm. Schwain of Pigeon is now employed in the Chronicle office.

Robert Carlson writes that "In the 1910 census, Erwin was recorded as Ervin Karecher, and I suspect his birth name was probably Ervin Kaercher or Karecher. The spelling Karecher was used in a lot of documents of the family in Canada, but on the gravestones the spelling is Kaercher. "

According to his obituary, he worked at the Cass City Chronicle for 43 years, starting in 1909, leaving the paper in 1952 when his wife became ill. After her death, he worked part time in various Thumb newspaper plants, helping out during peak periods, in addition to maintaining his own printing establishment in the village of Cass City. He was survived by son Charles of Linwood, Lt. Col. Ferris Kercher in Japan and Capt. Gerald Kercher in Germany; a brother Clarence Kercher of Owosso; nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

In the STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST, Volume 9, September 2, 1946, in a column titled "Still in the Service of the U.S.A.", it was noted that Capt. Ferris A. Kercher has been commissioned in the regular army and is located at Fort Sam Houston Camp, San Antonio, Texas.

In the STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST, Volume 9, September 2, 1946, in a column titled "Still in the Service of the U.S.A.", it was noted that Lt. Gerald Kercher went to Germany in the middle of July. He recently was transferred to Naples, Italy. His wife expects to go as soon as possible. As of the publication date of Volume 18, on September 5, 1955, he and his family were located in Wiesbaden, Germany. As of the 1959 publication date of Volume 22, he was being transfered to Stewart Field, West Point, Annapolis. In Volume 26 it was reported that he had retired from the Air Force after 23 years of service and was associated with the brokerage firm of Goodbody and Company in New London, Conn.

Waterford - On Sunday afternoon, Aug. 21, 2011, Gerald Frederick Kercher slipped the surly bonds of earth, put out his hand, and touched the face of God. He died at home in Quaker Hill as he wished.

Gerald, the third of three sons of Erwin W. and Amanda (Muck) Kercher, was born on June 9, 1924, in Cass City, Mich. He graduated from Cass City High School in 1942 and married his high school sweetheart, Frances Elizabeth Koepfgen, in 1945 at the "Little Church Around the Corner" in New York City. She died in 1993.

Gerald's interests were many and varied. From his first job after high school as a coal passer on the Great Lakes Steamship Cygnus to enlisting in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Gerald's love of his country was surpassed only by the love for his family.

During World War II, Gerald flew the B26 Martin Marauder In European and North African campaigns, as a member of the 320th Bomb Group. He was especially proud of his service during the Berlin Air Lift when he dropped thousands of pounds of food and medical supplies to the German people.

Following World War II, Gerald served as the base legal officer in Munich, Germany. Over the next 20 years, the Air Force took Gerald to Texas, Saudi Arabia, Pennsylvania, and back to Germany where he served as an agent in the Office of Special Investigation, working with Belgium and Luxemburg police. He completed his careerat bases inMassachusetts and New York. Just prior to his retirement from the Air Force in 1965, Gerald flew C-123 cargo planes, ferrying personnel and cargo to Vietnam. He retired as a major and began a very different 20-year career as a commodities broker in New London, working for Goodbody & Co., which later merged with Merrill Lynch.

In his retirement, Gerald volunteered enthusiastically for Southeastern Hospice for 18 years, stopping only in the past few weeks. He was also a tutor for Literacy Volunteers and volunteered his driving services for the American Red Cross and the local food pantry. He served as a delightful toastmaster for the First Wednesday Club and was known for his recitations and spirited singing. He was an enthusiastic member of Shortwave Radio International, attending their many conferences with special friends around the world. He was a life long Detroit Tigers fan and died happily knowing that his team was in first place. Devoted to his faith, Gerald was a member of the Safe Harbor Assembly of God Church in Uncasville.

Left behind to cherish his memory are his six children and their families, Susan and Abraham Chamie, Philip and Jet Kercher, Andrew and Wendy Kercher, Matthew Kercher, Amanda Kercher and David Weinraub, and Caroline and Craig Thurston. He was very proud of his 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He joins in heaven a dear granddaughter, Kathryn Frances Kercher.

Visitation hours will be from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 24, at the Thomas L. Neilan & Sons Funeral Home, 12 Ocean Ave., New London. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25, at Harkness Chapel, Connecticut College.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice Southestern Connecticut, 227 Dunham St., Norwich CT 06360.

Stephanie

4 May 1941

11 Jun 2016

Stephanie Kerr Smither, "Nana" will be remembered for her beautiful smile, loving her family, the marriage to her childhood sweetheart, inventive cooking, and always being the last to leave the party! She surrounded herself friends and beautiful objects, was wildly adventurous, fun loving, gracious and a courageous lady. Nana will be remembered for her big hugs, which she gave generously. Nana passed away June 11, 2016 at home surrounded by family and wearing her favorite turquoise rings.

Stephanie was born in Jacksonville, Texas, to Frankie Zou Gaston and Stephen Austin ("S.A.") Kerr, May 4, 1941. Raised in Huntsville, Texas where her parents founded Kerr's Department Store; she spent her days helping to run the store with the daddy she loved. As a young girl she learned the piano, enjoyed baseball and fell in love with her childhood sweetheart - John Henderson Smither. Their favorite place to "park" was Pritchett Pasture, now Interstate 45, where she helped John feed his cattle. Her sister Zou said, "it is hard to remember her before John!" They married while students at the University of Texas at Austin. John was in law school while Stephanie taught at the Texas School for the Deaf. Upon graduation, they moved to Stuttgart, Germany with their two children where John served in the Army. These were fond memories traveling Europe, in their VW bug with kids in the back. They settled in Houston and raised three children. Stephanie was active in the Blue Bird Circle, The Houston Garden Club and Westminster United Methodist Church, though what she enjoyed most was staying at home supporting John and her children with their endeavors.

Stephanie, a "sophisticated hoarder" or (consummate collector), was always on the hunt for handmade and one-of-a-kind objects. She was known for her bright orange lipstick and big jewelry, without which she felt underdressed. She was also known for her creative tablescapes, beautiful penmanship, and famous Smither Salsa. With her East Texas accent, someone said, "Stephanie was the only person she knew who said 'hush' in four syllables". At Christmas her house was filled with carved Santas, her tree covered in her handmade needlepoint angels and the smells of homemade fudge and peanut brittle on the stove. Nana stayed busy all year making the grandchildren's Christmas stockings and their annual needlepoint ornaments.

She and John loved hosting dinner parties and she delighted in cooking scrumptious gourmet meals. They always ended the evening with Stephanie playing the piano barefoot while John and their beloved supper club of 50 years sang into the wee hours. Stephanie thought if people left her house before midnight it was a bad party!

Her favorite activities included cheering for her grandchildren at sporting events, being a "mean" liar's dice player, taking her grandchildren to exotic places, playing Mah Jongg, and spending time with family and friends at Sunset Lake in Huntsville, Texas.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to her generous lung donor and his family, Houston Methodist Hospital, Dr. Scott Scheinin, Dr. Osama Gaber, Dr. Thomas Kaleekal, Sydney Bridges and the staff for their heroic effort over the last 2 ? years. She was able to fulfill her lifetime dream of overseeing the creation of Smither Park, gifting her art to The Menil Collection and completing a documentary about her years as a collector of Visionary Art. In addition, she was honored as one of Houston's 50 Most Influential Women of 2015 by Houston Woman Magazine and as the 2014 Texas Patron of the Year by Art League Houston.

We know Stephanie would also like to thank all the sweet supporters of Smither Park and the artists who were so dear to her. Thank you also to the staff at The Menil Collection who were so wonderful to work with on the current exhibition.

Stephanie felt blessed to spend her last two evenings at the celebration dinner and opening of her collection at The Menil. She was radiant and so touched by the public outpouring of support. Afterwards, family and friends returned to her home for her famous SmitherRitas. She had one last toast, retired to her room, and eased into her final slumber surrounded by family and friends with the joyous sounds of the party below.

She treasured her children and their spouses, John Kerr Smither, Ashley and Curt Langley, Paige and Todd Johnson, and her grandchildren who affectionately called her Nana: Amon Smither; Austin, Madison and Jack Langley; Wells, John David, Pierce, Hill and Blake Johnson; her sister and brother-in-law Zou Kerr and Boyd F. Cherry; sisters-in-law, Martha Smither and Trudie Smither, nieces and nephews, Robert Smither, III, Sallie Crotty, John J. Smither and Mary Kate Jefferies; great grand nieces and nephews Kate and Stephen Crotty and Cole Smither. She was preceded in death by her parents S.A. and Frankie Zou Kerr, her husband John H. Smither and two brothers-in-law Robert B. Smither, Jr. and Wilbur L. Smither, III.

The memorial service celebrating her life is Thursday, June 16th at 10 a.m. at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, 3471 Westheimer Rd, Houston, Texas. The graveside service will be held at 5:00 p.m. in Oakwood Cemetery located at 9th Street and Martin Luther King Drive in Huntsville, Texas. It was Stephanie's wish that everyone celebrate her life by wearing a bit of her favorite color, orange.

For those desiring, contributions in Stephanie's memory may be made to: Houston Methodist Hospital Foundation, P. O.
