Changing Names



     Amy Johnson Crow has a 52 Ancestors Week blog challenge which I have decided to join.  I am hoping it may help me to pinpoint someone or something that I have researched and not blogged about on Flipside.  AND push me to blog about family each week in 2024.  Sometimes I get lazy. 😁  Let's see how well I keep up.

     Week # 8 (February 26-March 3) is Changing Names. 

     The name changes in my family were not due to immigrants coming from non English speaking counties and their names being corrupted at Ellis Island.  Nope!  My family name changes came from within the families by family members.  Frankly, for a genealogist trying to track down family members who at some point in their life decide to change their name can present a stumbling bock.

     The most notorious name changing family member was my paternal grandmother aka Grams.  Her ability to change the spellings of first and last names is not unknown to readers of Flipside.  This was not due to Grams being illiterate.  Quite to the contrary, she had an eighth grade education typical of most women of her age and was an avid reader.


     Grams began with her own name.  Sarah became Sara.  I know Grams maternal aunt, Sarah Ann Poole Pinyerd also shortened her name to Sara and Grams was very close to that aunt.

     Next was the surname/maiden name change from Van Gilder to Van Guilder.  When I had a phone conversation with Cousin Kae (Catherine Wallace Billik my 1st cousin 1 time removed) decades ago, she told me that Grams oldest sister (Mary Louise "Bobs" VanGilder Wotherspoon) was the one in the family who decided to change the name.  I'm glad I reread my note because I had originally attributed it to my Grams.  😉

😀

     The first time I saw the spelling of Van Guilder was when I saw my father's birth announcement.  I had just begun my foray into genealogy and assumed that was the spelling of his middle name and Grams maiden name.  


     However when I checked Dad's actual birth certificate, his middle name is spelled Van Gilder.  I'm certain that the birth certificate was signed by Pop Pop and not Grams.  Grams name is listed as Sara in 1921.

     To further add to the confusion, my Dad's middle name was listed as Van Guilder on the college and medical degrees and his social security card.

     I found his middle name as Van Gilder in 1949 when he enrolled in the National Guard and his Army Honorable Discharge in 1955.  From about 1949 and on, Dad just used his middle initial "V".  Maybe he was confused too. 😇

     I never knew about the spelling change until I began corresponding with a cousin in my Pool(e)/Frum lines who was a noted historian and genealogist.  His Pool(e)/Frum line, like mine traced back to Van Gilder.  When I told him the spelling with a "U", he said he had never seen it written that way.  Now I was on the right track.

Baptism document

Used Aiden as his name in high school

     Grams named her second son, John Aiden Hughes.  I was never certain if the Aiden was a tip of the hat to Pop Pop's West Hartlepool roots.  However, in the UK it is spelled Aidan, after St. Aidan.  There is a laundry list of male Aidan's in the UK Hughes family.  Almost all UK Hughes family members were baptized, married and buried in St. Aidan's Church.  Whether Grams consciously made the change or not we will never know.  Certainly Pop Pop knew the UK spelling was Aidan.  

     I have seen that my Uncle John was referred to as Aiden Hughes throughout his school years growing up.  Great Grandma Hughes also called him Aiden.  At some point, John decided to be called John and I have seen on his college and medical school degrees he is John A. Hughes.  

     And now my take on the name.  I tend to show it as VanGilder, no space between.  So, here I am changing names.  LOL

Poole to Pool and Back to Poole


Sampson Frum Pool Family

Morgantown, West Virginia

     My Morgantown, West Virginia Pool/Poole ancestry is also a changing name conundrum.  Maybe some family members decided in the late 1800's to modernize or revert back to a previous spelling of their surname from a hundred years in the past.

Asby Pool 1787-1867, 3rd great grandfather Rev William Lanham Pool 1817-1911, 2nd great grandfather, Sampson Frum Pool 1849-1909 and my paternal great grandmother Jessica B. Poole VanGilder 1870-1949.  All of Great Grandmother Jessie's siblings, that did not die at a young age, changed their surname from Pool to Poole.    

     With this family it requires two searches--Pool and Poole.  😁

Heirlooms


     Amy Johnson Crow has a 52 Ancestors Week blog challenge which I have decided to join.  I am hoping it may help me to pinpoint someone or something that I have researched and not blogged about on Flipside.  AND push me to blog about family each week in 2024.  Sometimes I get lazy. 😁  Let's see how well I keep up.

     Week #8 (February 19-25) is Heirlooms. 


     Good Grief.  What family heirlooms haven't I already covered.  Answer: How about the 8 Tiffin Crystal glasses Aunt Midge gave me back in 1978?  

Aunt Midge with Aric Hughes Hiser
Summer 1978
Tiffin, Ohio

     During the Summer 0f 1978, we drove to Tiffin, Ohio to visit with my husband's parents.  A surprise guest was Mildred Deleta Hiser Wendt.  Referred to as Aunt Midge, although to my husband she was his grandaunt and to baby Aric, his great grandaunt.
 
     As the day continued Aunt Midge gifted me 8 pieces of Tiffin Crystal.  Four water goblets and 4 champagne sherbets.  Having attended college in Tiffin, I was well aware of the Tiffin Crystal factory and had actually spent time there during my college years.

     Optic is beautiful in its simplicity, although plain compared to many patterns.  They are crystal and not glass, which Tiffin did produce in later years.   

     I was told that these crystal glasses belonged to Aunt Midge's mother, Isabelle Smith Hiser Nance and that Midge's father, Quincy Larue Hiser, did, at one time, work at the Tiffin Glass factory.  If Aunt Midge's story is correct, these glasses are from the 1900-1924 time frame.  The Hiser family is enumerated in Tiffin on the 1910 Ohio census. 

     Wake up Linda.  You have done very little blogging on your husband's family.  I have no web links to these folks on my blog and yet you do have hard copy files.  Shameful.

  I am going to use this as a call to begin blogging about my husband's ancestry.

Annabell Poole Davis--My Paternal Great Grandaunt


     I sure wish I had a photograph of this lady.  Unfortunately, several of the Poole sisters did not have children.  Any of their remembrances undoubtably are deep in a Pittsburgh landfill.  

Sampson Frum Pool's Farm
underlined in red at top of map
     
     Annabell (Annabelle Poole is my paternal great grandaunt.  She was born on June 17, 1875 on a farm north of Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia.  The fifth child and fifth daughter to join the family of Sampson Frum Pool and Sarah Louise Harner.  

     There were very few stories passed down to me regarding any of the Poole family, even my paternal great grandmother, Annabell's sister, Jessie Poole VanGilder.  I guess I come from a family that did not talk about family.  It has hampered my genealogical research and so much depends on whatever research I am able to locate.  Fortunately I have been able to find some documentation about Annabell. 

     The Poole children did attend a country school nearby, Woodland School #2.  My paternal great grandmother was a student there in 1888.  Her teacher was George Ethelbert VanGilder, who she married three years later.  

     From the few newspaper articles I have found, the Poole girls were close and throughout their lives and they all removed from Morgantown to the greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area in the early 1900's.

     The 1900 West Virginia census listed Annabell, age twenty-four, living on the farm with her parents and employed as a cook.  She was employed full time and able to read, write and speak English.  I am assuming that she was a cook for a local restaurant, not assisting her mother as a cook at home.  Side note, this census was enumerated by Annabell's brother-in-law and my paternal great grandfather, George Ethelbert VanGilder.  

Marion County West Virginia Marriage Records

      At age twenty-seven, Annabell married fifty-four year old Elias Blackshere Davis on January 7, 1903 in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia.  Rev Jeremiah Engle, Methodist Episcopal minister, officiated.  Elias, son of John Wesley Davis and Phoebe Cunningham was born on December 23, 1848 in Mannington, Marion County, West Virginia.  

     Elias was employed as an engineer with the B&O Railroad Company.  He was married first to Priscilla Christine Holland.  Three years after her death on July 8, 1899 in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia he married Annabell.  Elias and Priscilla had a daughter, Edna Letitia Davis.  Edna married Harry Brownfield Crane in Fairmont West Virginia four days before her father remarried on January 5, 1903.

                Magill, Anna, roomer, Female, White, age 30, single, born in West Virginia, father born in Ireland, mother born in Virginia, can speak English, employed at a coal company as a stenographer, was not out of work in 1909, can read and write in English.  A roomer is a person who rents a room but does not pay for meals.

     This house is listed on Zillow, but is not for sale.  It has 5 bedrooms and 1 bath.  Another listing has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath.  The listing gives 1924 as the date it was built; however, the 1910 census show that it was already occupied.

     Annabell, Mrs. E.B. Davis , is visiting her older sister, Mrs. John Pinyerd, Sarah Ann Poole, in North Charleroi, Pennsylvania.  Also visiting from Morgantown is their cousin Mrs. William Murphy, Jeannette Harner.

     A lodger rents a room in another person's house and could be able to use the kitchen.            


     This is a brief notice that appeared in The Charleroi Mail on November 26, 1921.  I have to thank Sarah Poole Pineyard (Pinyerd) for alerting the local newspaper whenever she had a visitor or she visited.  And also thank Ancestry for having decades of the newspaper searchable on their website.  In this particular article three Poole sisters spent the afternoon together.

     Elias Blackshere Davis, age seventy-nine died on January 26, 1928 in his home in Knoxville Brough, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.  Annabel (signed with only one "L") was the informant on the death certificate.  She gave his employment as retired railroad engineer with the B&O Railroad.  

    Elias was buried on January 28, 1928 at Woodlawn Cemetery, Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia.  His first wife, Priscilla Christine Holland Davis is also buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.

     On February 8, 1928, Elias B. Davis Will was probated in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia.  Elias wrote his Last Will and Testament on March 4, 1903 and filed it with the court in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia.  

     The cropped portion of the Will bequeaths all his worldly goods and moneys to his wife Annabel Davis.  


     Annabell was the guest of honor at a fifty-third birthday party given by her sister, Sarah Poole Pinyerd in North Charleroi, Pennsylvania.

1929 Pittsburgh City Directory

     Annabell is MIA for the 1930 census.  I don't have the intestinal-fortitude to go page by page looking for her in the ward where Rochelle Street is located.  Either she was off visiting someone when the enumerator came by or her name is unreadable.  I have tried various spellings with no luck.


The Daily Republican

     On August 23,1933, Annabel signed an application to marry in Washington County, Pennsylvania.  Charles Thomas Porter, age fifty, son of Alexander and Elizabeth Porter, a contractor, would be her husband.  Charles was previously married to Bertha Sommerhalder and divorced her on June 16, 1933 two months before he signed the marriage application to Annabell. 

1934 Pittsburgh City Directory

1938 Pittsburgh City Directory

     Sometime between 1934 and 1938, Annabell and Charles Thomas Porter divorced.  The first city directory is under Porter.  The second is under Davis.  Annabell went back to her first married name.

     During a telephone conversation on June 6, 1994, Cousin Kae, Catherine Wallace Billik, relayed comments on various Poole Family members.  Kae, born in 1913, lived in Pittsburgh and knew various family members or heard stories.  Annabell would have been a grandaunt.

re:  Annabel Poole Davis-- believed she lived in Knoxville outside of Pittsburgh, PA.  It was said that her second husband, Thomas, wanted her inheritance.  Kae had a hard time believing that the inheritance amounted to much of anything.

     Cousin Kae was accurate about Knoxville; however, it appears that Annabell did have an inheritance from her first husband.  It's now anyone's guess as to why Annabell divorced Thomas C. Porter.  Perhaps the family story is correct.

            Davis, Annabel, Head, female, white, age 64, widow, born in West Virginia, lived in the same house in 1935, works in her house, no weeks worked, no income, has income from other sources.  Value of her house $5,600.00

            Petterman, H. John (Henry John Peterman), Lodger, male, age 48, married, born in Pennsylvania, lived in the same place in 1935, worked at private work for 50 hours a week at a Plumbing & Heating company in sales, worked 45 weeks, income $2880.00.

            Linkert, Marie, Lodger, female, white, single, age 28, graduated high school, born in Pennsylvania, lived in the same house in 1935, works at private work 40 hours per week as an office clerk at a Water Company, worked 52 weeks, income $900.00.

            Parnella, Nicholas, Lodger, female, white, married, age 26, graduated high school, born in Pennsylvania, lived in the same place in 1935, works at private work 40 hours per week as a laborer in a steel mill, worked 42 weeks, income $1,000.00.

            Petterman, Marie E. (Marie Edith Peterman), Lodger, female, white, married, age 33, graduated high school, born in Pennsylvania, lived in Los Angeles, California in 1935, works at private work 40 hours per week as a stenographer at a Plumbing & Heating Company, worked 40 weeks, income $850.00.

     Anabell is supplementing her income with four lodgers, one married couple and two singles.  Several realtors listed 411 Rochelle as having five bedrooms.  Imagine all these folks sharing the one bathroom!

     I would like to mention that other Poole siblings ran boarding houses.  My paternal great grandmother, Jessie Poole VanGilder ran boarding houses in West Virginia, Woodlawn and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before she was employed as a stewardess on river boats.  Another sibling, Sarah Ann Pinyerd ran a maternity boarding house in North Charleroi, Pennsylvania.  Finally, another sibling, Olive Poole Reeves ran a boarding house on the North side of Pittsburgh.

Immigration: Coming to America


     Amy Johnson Crow has a 52 Ancestors Week blog challenge which I have decided to join.  I am hoping it may help me to pinpoint someone or something that I have researched and not blogged about on Flipside.  AND push me to blog about family each week in 2024.  Sometimes I get lazy. 😁  Let's see how well I keep up.

     Week #7 (February 12-18) is Immigration. 

     I have been somewhat hard pressed to figure out who to blog about on this topic.  I have covered those ancestors who I was able to find information regarding their immigration.  This morning Amy mentioned this thought, ".....consider an immigrant ancestor, where they came from, why they came or how different their life was between their "old country" and their new one."

     John George Hughes and Elizabeth Olesen Hughes, my paternal great grandparents, have been the focus of numerous blogs, immigration included.  However, I do not believe I have covered the difference between their life in England and the US.  Thank you Amy!

     John George Hughes, the son of George Henry Hughes and Mary Ann Storey Hughes was born and raised in West Hartlepool, England.  John George was born in 1873 and the family was living in a house in the Stranton Parish, West Hartlepool, England at 11 Thorne Street as listed on the 1871 census.   The author of, "Reflections beneath the Wagga Moon" paints a dire picture of the conditions the family was living in West Hartlepool at the time.  


     "However, such was the demand for houses or lodgings for people with basic labouring skills that small streets of houses were even built on pieces of open land in amongst the Iron and Steel Works along Mainsforth Terrace.  With the dust and fumes of blast furnaces at their front doors and the banging and clattering of small engineering works at their back doors, these streets can only be described as a very unhealthy and primitive place to live and raise families, yet somehow people did just that".   (Edward Powell, page 5)

     
     When John George was old enough to work, he joined his father as a puddler in the steel works.  Later, he and his brothers were employed as coal merchants.  This old photograph was given to me by a Hughes family member when we visited Hartlepool in 2003.  I do not know if my great grandfather is the one brother not named.


     John married Elizabeth Ferdinande Olesen in West Hartlepool on June 7, 1897.  Their living conditions in West Hartlepool were, needless to say, not the best.  John would be filthy from loading, unloading and hauling coal all day in a horse drawn wagon.  Their son, my paternal grandfather, George Henry Hughes, was born on March 19, 1898.  

     I have no idea what the deciding factor was for my Hughes family's decision to immigrate to the US.  Both the Hughes and Olesen families lived in West Hartlepool and John was gainfully employed.  Maybe the lure of a better life in America was the catalyst.  




     On May 8, 1906 the Hughes Family boarded the S.S. Caronia in Liverpool, England.  Ten days later they arrived at the Port of New York.  Their destination was Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to visit a friend, M.C. Mathews.  

     I have never figured out who M.C. Mathews was--a friend or a relation.  The closest I have come is a Malachi C. Matthews who was a machinist living in Pittsburgh who died in 1907.  Why did my paternal great grandfather know him?

     John George Hughes was age thirty-three, Elizabeth Olesen Hughes was age twenty-nine and my paternal grandfather, George Henry Hughes was eight.  I must admit I don't think I knew Great Grandmother Hughes or my Grandfather were from England until I was late teens or early adult years.  There was no trace of a British accent.

     The Hughes Family found a home on the South Side Flats of Pittsburgh, across the Monongahela River from the City of Pittsburgh.  They lived in a smaller community where the industry was located called Birmingham (how English )😁  I have marked both the map and the photograph above with the location of the South Side and the housing area where the Hughes lived from their arrival in 1906 until about 1915.  I'm from Pittsburgh and we have some unusual pronunciations of names referred to as Pittsburgese.  South Side is pronounced "Sahside".

     Elizabeth and son, George Henry made a second voyage to England in 1907 about sixteen months after they arrived in the US.

     The 1907 immigration gives the first location of the Hughes and their home located at 2518 Carey Avenue.  According to the map, this home was closer to the mill.  When I mapped the address, there is a house still standing at the address.  Whether or not this is the actual house the Hughes lived in is always a question when looking for an address one hundred and seventeen years ago.

                  Hughes, John G., head, male, white, age 36, married once for 13 years, born in England, both parents born in England, year of immigration looks like 1902, alien, can speak English, employed as a worker in an iron mill, working on own account, worked every day in 1909, can read and write in English, rents a house.


             Hughes, Elizabeth, wife, female, white age 34, married once for 13 years, one child born and one child living, born in England, parents birth is difficult to read; however her father was born in Denmark and her mother was born in Germany, immigrated in 1905, can speak English, not employed, can read and write in English.


             Hughes, George H., son, male, white, age 12, single, born in England, both parents born in England, can speak English, year of immigration 1905, not employed, can read and write in English.

     John's year of immigration had me going back to records to see if he actually came to Pittsburgh before the family immigrated.  I can find no record of him before 1906.  The date of the family immigration is incorrect on the census, they came in 1906.

     Their home was a rental located on Wright Alley.  No house number was given.  Looking on Google maps the street is indeed an alley.  There are very few residences in existence today.  Back in 1910, there was a large park, a Carnegie Library, probably their Episcopalian Church and a public school nearby.  John could have easily walked to the iron mill or taken a streetcar.  The air would have been in dark with the soot from the mills.

     Unfortunately so many or my records are not organized like I wish they were.  Here I found an immigration record for Rowland Richards visiting his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Hughes in 1914.  Wahoo, and address on Wright Street is given, 2341 Wright Street.  This is now called Wrights Way.  This house is almost next door to the iron and steel works.  Frankly, it appears that the Hughes Family moved from one noisy dirty location to another.  I don't think this area of Pittsburgh was any better that West Hartlepool.  Plus, there was no family living nearby.



     The move down the Ohio River to the new Jones & Laughlin company town of Woodlawn in Beaver County, Pennsylvania was a step up.  The Hughes Family was living at 131 Spring Street by 1915 in a newly built house located in an active town and community all designed and built by Jones & Laughlin.  The air quality would still be the dirty from the caustic fumes coming from the mill.  However there was a central street with shopping, a library, park with swimming pool and a train station.  


Post Cards

     One aspect I should mention is that the town was divided into twelve numbered plans.  The Hughes lived in Plan Number 10.  Each ethnic group lived in the same plan with others from the same country.  This was an attempt by Jones & Laughlin to keep ethnic groups separated and they had police patrolling the streets to to make certain there was no fraternizing.  The Hughes neighbors would have been from England. 


     In January 1920, John George and Elizabeth Hughes traveled for six months to England.  They returned with members of Elizabeth's family.  Her mother, Ferdinande Weiss Olesen, her brother William Olesen and her sister, Emily Olesen Richards.  The Richards lived in Monaca and the Olesen's stayed at 131 Spring Street moving to Monaca several years after John George Hughes death on May 20, 1921 at age forty-seven.

     This has been a labor of love.  I had not fully researched this aspect of my paternal grandparents immigration, nor had I thought about the two different environments and lifestyles they experienced.  Perhaps the housing was a little better in the Pittsburgh areas; however the air quality was bad everywhere they lived due to my great grandfather's employment.  All family members who immigrated stayed in the greater Pittsburgh area and all are also buried there.
