Daughter of Mike Paroubek and Marie Korensky. Mary and her mother embarked on their transatlantic journey, to join Mary's father Mike who had previously emigrated, from Breman, Germany aboard the Loyd. They were processed through Ellis Island, and journeyed by train to the Vencil Ruzicka farm. Mary attended rural school district #85 in Saline County, graduating from the Milligan Schools. (Milligan, p 266).
At the time of the 1870 census, she was living with her son's family, Earl Beddoe in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. John W. Clark writes that she was buried in Chatfield, Texas. Virgie Speights writes that she was descended from Sir Thomas Parr of England, a relative of the Catherine Parr who married Henry the XIII.
Her Texas Death certificate shows her as a daughter of Vick Parrie and Margaret Sepulvado. Her occupation was housewife and mother, and she died of Carcinoma of the Pancreas.Her last name at deaht was Lankford, and the informant was her son, Billy Brad Lankford. She was a resident of Hemphill at the time of her death.
Could this be the same person as Eliza Parrott, born ca 1855, a daughter of James Parrott and Martha Jane Nash of Sabine Parish? James and Martha Parrott were the parents of a son William as well, and the William Thornton Parrott who last married Samantha Alford was said to be the brother of Mrs. W. T. Alford.
On the 1860 Sabine Parish census, 35 year old Venesa Hendricks age 35 from Alabama is living with 54 year old Elizabeth Parrott from South Carolina and the other Parrott children. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 96).
Living with them at the time of the 1850 Sabine Parish census were 15 year old Bright McLandon, 22 year old William Miers, and 25 year old Thomas Nash. The Parrott's lived in Sabine Parish through the time of the 1860 census. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 91).

Shirley Brasher shows that he married Elizabeth Marler ca 1904 in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, and that they were the parents of Virginia, Robert, and Elizabeth.
Could this be William Thornton Parrott, who first married Martha Alford, and later her sisters Betty and Samantha? That William Thornton Parrott is buried at the Pilgrim Rest Cemetery in Many.

Lynell Cordell emailed in April, 2006 that "I may have found Columbus with his parents. In 1860 he was 6 years old with William and Margaret Parsons in Hickory Co. MO. In 1870 he was 18 years old with William and Margaret in Lincoln Co. MO. William and Margaret and more children were still in Lincoln Co. in 1880. Since Pike Co. is next door to Lincoln Co., and if William and Margaret are Lum's parents, then it's possible that Lum and Jennie lived near them during the years between 1880 and 1900 but I'm just wondering where the info came from. This was the only Columbus I found and I tried searching for Parson and Lum and every combination I could think of so I think it's probably him. Makes me wonder what he was doing in Texas in the first place."
Ken Harvey writes that he was known as Uncle Lum. He facinated the younger generation by being able to hold a pencil between his nose and his chin.
Lynell Cordell recalls that after his wife died, Lum lived with his brother-in-law, James Edwin Gentry, in Stephens Couty. Harold Gentry, a great-nephew, repeated a story that his Uncle Lum told about living in Missouri during the Civil War. His father was with the Union forces and Confederate soldiers would regularly stop by their home asking where his father was. One day, as Lum was on his way to the mill with a sack of corn the Confederates stopped him and asked again where his father was. When Lum wouldn't tell them anything, they took his sack of corn and slowly poured it out on the ground as they rode along.
His death certificate showed him as widowed, with an address of Duncan, Oklahoma. He died of benin prostatic hypertrophy with acute urinary retintion. He was buried at Fairlawn, probably in Grady County, Oklahoma. He was shown as being buried at the Fairlawn Cemetery, but Charles Strong was unable to find verification of this after personally visiting this cemetery. Even after consulting the cemetery records, a burial spot was not located.
Lynell also found the following census listings for Lum and Jennie.

According to Bettye Wagstaff, George Partin lived near Kirbyville, Texas and worked for the Forest Service. The informant on the death certificate of Eva Lee Collins Johnson Chambers was a George Partin, very likely the same person.
Information about the John and Harriet Partin Family was supplied by Bettye Bragg Wagstaff of Bronson, Texas. Her research included the following sources:
1850 Sabine Co. TX census "1850 Sabine County, Texas Census with Corrections and Added Family Information" by Schluter and Toole 1860 Sabine Co. TX census Morris Bible Record (John C. Partin's second wife was Drucilla Cordelia Watkins White. Her sister married Jacob Dickon Morris. Their daughter, Cordelia Morris Dickerson lived next door to Bettye Bragg's family. "Aunt Cord" gave Bettye the family Bible records in the 1950's. It appears that when John C. Partin married Drucillia Cordelia, they entered his birthdate, his marriage date to Drucilla and the birthdate of his children by Harriet McGrew.)
A. P. Steele, Frances's first husband, was connected to the Morris family. They were both from the same area of Kentucky. They are living next door to each other in 1860 in Sabine Co, TX.
In letters to Ester McGrew Hardin, Blanche Toole and others recount a legand of two McGrew brothers returning from the California gold mines, and who stayed briefly with the Partin or Alford family (Harriet McGrew's son in law) on their way back to Mississippi. One was dying, but would let no one attend to him or touch his saddlebag, said to be full of gold. That night he was said to have slipped out to bury the gold. The next morning he was too delirious to tell anyone where he had hidden it, and to this day it has never been found.

When he registered for the draft during World War I, he was a Butcher for Motions Packing Company in El Paso, and single. He was described as Tall, of medium build, with blue eyes and brown hair. The US Vetarans Gravesites, ca 1775-2006 database on Ancestry.com shows he served as a Cook in the US Army during World War I.

Calvin Patterson Fatally Injured
Calvin Patterson, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Patterson of Cass City, was fatally injured when the Buick sedan he was driving was struck by the morning train at the P., O. & N. R. R. crossing on West Main St., at nine o'clock Saturday. His skull was crushed and he suffered severe scalp wounds and other injuries about the head. He did not regain consciousness and death came about six hours after the accident.
The sedan was carried down the track ahead of the engine for several hundred feet before the train could be stopped and was totally wrecked. Mr. Patterson was on his way to the home of his sister, Mrs. Claud Wood, who lived a mile west of town, when the accident occured.
This is the second accident at the Main Street crossing in less than three weeks. At the first on March 10, Alex Brian and Glenn Wright were struck by the south-bound passenger train. Both men were injured, but not seriously, and both have recovered.
Calvin Patterson was born in Cass City on May 1, 1907, and has spent his entire life here. The young man was a senior in high school and treasurer of his class, and would have graduated next June. He was an excellent student, had won honors in his high school studies, was prominent in high school athletics, and was a young man who commanded the respect of his acquaintances. The sudden passing has caused great sorrow in the community.
The funeral was delayed until Wednesday because of the absence of his brother, Grant, on a trip to Western states. He was located at Salt Lake City, Utah, on Sunday and arrived home Tuesday evening. The service was held at the family residence at two o'clock and was conducted by Rev. C.F. Smith, pastor of the Evangelical church, of which Mr. Patterson was a member. Members of the Class of '26 attended the funeral in a body and interment was made in Elkland cemetery. Business houses were closed during the funeral hour.
Besides his parents, deceased leaves one brother, Grant, and one sister, Mrs. Claude Wood, both of Cass City.
Out of town relatives and friends at the funeral were Lloyd Phelps of St. Thomas, Ont., Mrs. John Austin of Fort Wayne, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schleuter of Kendalville, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. H.H. Patterson of Flint, Mrs. James Starr and daughter, Evan, and Earl Starr and Buel Starr, all of Pontiac, Fred Striffler of Caro, Harry Hartshorne of Deckerville, Mr. and Mrs. Thad Patterson and daughter, Vernice, of Argyle, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Stiffler of Detroit, D.C. McIntyre of Freeland, and Mr. and Mrs. Bueschlen and Mrs. Dorman of Snover.

Living with her grandparents, William and Sally Payne at the time of the 1860 Shelby County census. Age 4, born in Missouri. Said to have married, on 17 Jun 1890 in Shelby County, MO, James Monroe Castle.
Member of the Chickasaw Nation. Her father, Thomas Hamilton Payne (Original Enrollee #3686) was a Chickasaw by blood.
It is believed she was named after the popular Scottish Folk ballad, Annie Laurie. Her nickname, "Roonie" was also a product of popular culture, based on the Little Annie Rooney comic strip that ran during the depression.
Anna Laura was baptized in 1922, her sponsors being her Aunt and Uncle, Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Sparks. According to a brochure from the Church of the Assumption, Duncan, commemorating Religious Heritage Day on Sunday, June 28, 1992, "Both sides of Anna Laura (Roonie) Strong's family history intertwines in their settlement of Duncan before the 1900's. Her Uncle John and Aunt Annie Sparks O'Neil's home, presently the Phil Leonard home, was used regularly for masses before the first church was built in 1909. Roonie attended the first parochial school, "Joan of Arc", which had been built by one of the outstanding parish priests, Fr. J.A. Garvey, and run by Sisters of Divine Providence."
After their father left home, Bessie had trouble making enough money to support her family. When Anna Laura was 15, she and Fay were sent to Saint Elizabeth Academy, an Orphanage and Boarding School for Native American Girls in Purcell, Oklahoma. Anna Laura remembers the long train ride being frightening. Although the distance from Duncan to Purcell was not particulary long, it was a freight train and made numerous long stops. It was very late at night before they finally arrived, and they had long since finished the sack lunch their mother had made them. Lois joined them at the school when she was old enough. Both Anna Laura and Faye graduated from St. Elizabeth's. Lois returned to Duncan to live with Anna Laura, and she graduated from Duncan High School.
Anna Laura's graduation was on the 26 of May in 1931. Her diploma was signed by Rev. Jacques Van Castel, Sister Adelhelma, Sister Theresa and Sister Lena. The nuns were members of the Sisters of St. Francis. Sister Lena had arrived at St. Elizabeth between 1889 and 1890.
Sisters Adelhelma and Lena were from Germany. Sister Lena worked in the kitchen and Roonie had been assigned to help her. She recalls the day Sister Lena accidentally dropped her rosary while cooking and loudly proclaimed, "Mein Lord and Mein Gott! I dropped my Jesus in the Soup." Sister Lena presented this same rosary to Anna Laura as a graduation gift, in memory of the work and faith they had shared. An article about the history of this school is contained under the "research" tab of these notes.
When Roonie's children were all school age, she returned to work. She was the head cook at first the parochial school in Duncan, and later at Duncan Junior High School. She held this position for approximately 20 years.
Roonie and her sisters Fay and Lois remained close friends throughout their adult lifes, often traveling together.

D-Three
Purcell, Aug. 14-Historic St. Elizabeth's convent, which for 60 years played a vital part in cultural development of Indian territory and early growth and education of Oklahoma, is closing its doors September 1 for lack of funds.
Founded in February, 1888, one year before Oklahoma was opened to settlement and barely a year after Purcell was established as a junction point on the Santa Fe, it is one of Oklahoma's most famous old schools.
The spacious, roomy, two-storied frame building, set in a grassy plot with a peaceful background of slender poplars, elms and cedars, is still a thing of considerable beauty. For many years it was the only educational landmark in an unsettled area, and the sight of students playing about its grounds, supervised by the black-robed nuns, against the bright southwestern skies, has become familiar to nearly all Oklahomans who have lived here any length of time.
When St. Elizabeth's convent was founded, in 1888, Purcell was a part of the Chickasaw nation of the old Indian territory, and the gateway to the great ranching empire which lay to the west and south. The country then was all pastureland, heavily wooded and a ranch of 10,000 to 20,000 acres was commonplace. Most of the settlers were Chickasaws, but here were also Choctaw families, and a good many white settlers. All were eager to send their children to school and the news that St. Elizabeth's convent had opened in Purcell was welcomed far and wide. Families packed their children and brought them to board and room at the convent, or if there was no space there, boarded them in homes and they attended day school.
Three eager young nuns, all now dead, of the Order of St. Francis, made their way west from Philadelphia and arrived in Purcell on Feb. 14, 1888. They were the late Sister Barbara, Sister Mary Joachim and Sister Patricia. At the time there was under construction a three-room frame building on the same lot where the Benedictine priests had built a one-room church. Sunday services were conducted in the church which on week days was converted into two school rooms by hanging a heavy carpet to form a partition. In one room a Miss Fritch taught the boys, whil in the other room Sister Mary Patricia taught the girls. By November, however, the new three-room frame building was completed and enrolment consisted of 120 pupils. Ages of these pupils ranged from 6 to 18 years. Soon, there were 25 boarders, then 50. The one-room frame building was used for boys.
Money for the grounds, buildings and teachers was paid for by Miss Katherine Drexel of the wealthy Philadelphia Drexel family. She had become interested in educating the Indians through the efforts of Father Vincent Jolly, O.S.B., who taught at the Sacred Heart academy situated in unsettled wilderness in what is now Pottawatomie county. Father Jolly, accompanied by Father William Capital, took turns in coming to Purcell to hold services. Father Jolly told Miss Drexel of the Indian boys and girls who needed educational opportunities, and described the great wilderness, which pioneers were still to conquer. One church was unable to bear the expense. But Miss Drexel could and did for 60 years.
Miss Drexel furnished money for the grounds, buildings and early support, and a new building site was selected in 1891 by the Very Rev. Ignatius Jean, Benedictine priest, while Rev. F. Steven, director of the Indian bureau, gave the plans of the building to Miss Drexel. At her instigation, Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia designated the Sisters of St. Francis of the Philadelphia Foundation, Mother House in Glen Riddle, Pa., to take charge of the mission. Miss Drexel also offered to pay of the sister's support.
In an area known as Love's pasture, named for the late Robert Love, Purcell's founder, who proved to be very helpful to the new school, ground was broken and the building erected which still stands today. On the second floor near the chapel is a bronze plaque dedicated to the founder, the late Father Vincent Jolly.
In the summers of 1889 and 1890, three more sisters, Sister Valentine, Sister Lena, and Sister Ludemiller joined the little bands of nuns and in 1891, Sister Mary Teresa, who is now the only one of the early group left, came to teach.
Sister Teresa, now the Sister Superior of St. Elizabeth's convent, is 80. She is small of stature, being only 4 feet 9 inches in height and is slender and frail. Born in Philadelphia Ja. 29, 1868, she was an only child of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Caterson, also natives of Philadelphia. In May, 1888, she took her vows at Our Lady of Angels convent at Glen Riddle, Pa., and taught one year in Wilmington, Pa. The death of her mother the next year left her free for her appointment ot the new convent in the Indian territory. On the way to the new town of Purcell, she has two companions, twos sisters who were going to the missions near Pawhuska in the Osage nation. She she came alone from St. Louis and arrived at Purcell on Sept. 4, 1891, just in time to see the ground being broken for the present site.
Government support by which the Indian girls' tuition was paid in part by the government was withdrawn in 1932......(Causing the sisters) to run the institution on practically no income except from Miss Drexel. For some time the sisters kept the girls without government aid from their own slender resources as teachers. Continued maintenance was impossible during these depressing days. This meant that the girls representing the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee and Pottawatomie tribes as well as others in all probability would be deprived of an eduation.
However, through the mediation of George C. Wells, at that time supervisor of Indian education, Oklahoma district, and Chief Dwight, chief of the Choctaw nation, a contract of 10 was received. But things have changed during the "war" years. There is a scarcity of teachers and enrollment is down. All in all, it seemed best to close the doors.
So historic St. Elizabeth is closing its doors. And good little Sister Superior Teresea will teach no more. She will take a long rest. She would like to spend the rest of her life in Purcell but will go where the church decrees.

?b?Haplogroup Description?/b? J* Specific mitochondrial haplogroups are typically found in different regions of the world, and this is due to unique population histories. In the process of spreading around the world, many populations-with their special mitochondrial haplogroups-became isolated, and specific haplogroups concentrated in geographic regions. Today, we have identified certain haplogroups that originated in Africa, Europe, Asia, the islands of the Pacific, the Americas, and even particular ethnic groups. Of course, haplogroups that are specific to one region are sometimes found in another, but this is due to recent migration. The mitochondrial haplogroup J contains several sub-lineages. The original haplogroup J originated in the Near East approximately 50,000 years ago. Within Europe, sub-lineages of haplogroup J have distinct and interesting distributions. Haplogroup J* -the root lineage of haplogroup J-is found distributed throughout Europe, but at a relatively low frequency. Haplogroup J* is generally considered one of the prominent lineages that was part of the Neolithic spread of agriculture into Europe from the Near East beginning approximately 10,000 years ago.
According to THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, "Vincent Cox [ca. 1704 in Westmoreland County, VA], m. Anne Payne and d. 1712 leaving a will naming daus. Winifred and Anne. To Winifred he gave a slave named Garter, who had been left to her mother Anne Payne in William Payne's will, and a diamond ring that had belonged to said Anne Payne."
Kentucky Death Records, 1852-1953, on Ancestry.com show her as Artinussie Marshall, born in Kentucky on 18 Dec 1844 to Robert Payne (b. Kentucky) and Nancy Scott (b. Kentucky). She was listed as widowed, and was living with her daughter at the time of her death. The informant on the death certificate was Mrs. Nancy Gibson, presumable her daughter. She was buried in the Marshall Cemetery. In 1860, Artemesia was living with her paretns and siblings in Breckenridge County, KY.

In 1810, he was appointed by President Madison as Indian Sub-agent and stationed at Fort Madison and Fort Snelling. Was a Major in the War of 1812 and aide-de-camp to his father, General John Payne. He was at Fort Meigs during the siege by the British and Indians. After the war he farmed in Scott County and served as Justice of the Peace. (Payne, p. 262).
He was living with Sarah and their two children in either Richland or Rock Creek township, Stephens Co., Oklahoma in 1910. Ref: DWL 116/Family 116
Aubrey H. Payne, age 42, and his wife, Janie, were living in Marshall, Texas in 1919. [Payne, Walter W AFFADAVIT OF HEIRSHIP OF SAMUEL MARSHALL PAYNE WHO DIED INTESTATE]
As of the 1930 census, the family appeared to be living in Donna Texas. The household was headed by Jennie S. Payne, age 49, divorced. Aubrey H, age 50, was listed last, and as a boarder? He was also shown as divorced.
31 Aug 1832 he made a statement before the Justices of Fq. Co. in connection with his pension application in which he stated that he was b. 11 Dec 1762 (sic) in Fq. Co. These pension records contain transcripts for his Prayer Book, in which entries were made by James Wood of Fq. Co., a school-teacher and near neighbor of Augustine Payne's. The Prayer Book gave his birth 11 Dec 1761 and recorded the birth of his 11 children. He was a Presbyterian. These records also contain his widow's statement that she was m. in Cu. Co., but the m.b. is recorded in Fq. Co.
He enlisted in Fq. Co. in the Revolutionary service Nov 1780 and served till 31 May 1781. 1807 he and his wife were living in Cu. Co. This residence seems to have been temporary. Prior thereto and thereafter till he left Fq. Co, he lived near the present cemetery just outside Orlean. 1835 he moved with his family to Parke Co., Ind., 14 miles from Rockville, "in order to procure more land for his children." 1836 most of his children were living in Indiana. 1877 some of his descendants lived at or near Bridgetown, Ind. Affadavits accompanying the pension records were signed 1836 and 1844 by James Payne of Parke Co, Ind., who stated that he was "a distant relative of Augustine Payne" and that Augustine Payne had 12 children. (Payne, pp. 390-391).
