8057 Miner Chambers was born ca. 1797 in Pennsylvania, according to census records, or in Germany, according to one researcher. A granddaughter named Eva Kane (born circa 1856), wrote that he "was born in Canada not far from Niagra Falls" and that he died in "Kerokirk" (Keokuk) (County), Iowa. He died between Jan 7 and Apr 18, 1853.

In a letter to William D. Chambers, author of the 1925 book Trails of the Centuries, William L. Chambers, Clerk of the Circuit Court at Brookville, Indiana, stated:

"Minor Chambers (my great-grandfather), was born in Germany. When a young man he went to Canada, then to Switzerland County, Indiana, where he died (date unknown).

"He had married a Miss Lee in Switzerland County, Indiana. Their children were: Sally C., who married a Cunningham; Palace C., who married a Fisher; Elizabeth, who married a William Schook; Thomas W., who married Lovey Lewis--who were my grand-parents; and David Chambers, who married and located in Iowa as a farmer."

Mr. Chambers lists the children of his grandparents as Margaret, Jacob, Sarah Carnine, Moluda Carnine, Mary Clark, William, Charles, and Lewis Calvin (who was his father).

William D. Chambers states, "W.L. is quite sure that his great-grandfather was born in Germany, then went to Canada and later to Switzerland County. As a man by the name of Minor Chambers was born in Canada, then came with others of his family to Switzerland County, it would seem that one historian or the other must be wrong."

Evaline Kane wrote, in 1945: "Elizabeth Chambers (Evaline's mother) was born 8 miles from Veva (Vevay, Switzerland County) Indiana. Her father Minor Chambers was born in Canada not far from Niagera Falls.

"His parents had joined a colony to settle in Penn but when they arrived, grandmother (Sarah) Chambers decided she would not go further until my grandfather was born. There were another woman in the same mind so these three familys settled together and lived there until Grandfather was a young man. Then he started out for himself, bought a farm close to my Great Grandfather Lees. And there married my Grand Mother Lee, whose name was Mary Lee. And Grand Father's name was David Lee and his Father's name was David Lee and his mother's name was Marrie Deaa (D'Ay). . . ."

Miner Chambers married Mariah (Polly) Lee on or after Jul 12, 1818 in Switzerland County, Indiana. The following appears in the records of Switzerland County: "July the 11th 1818. Granted Marriage Licence to Minor Chambers & Mariah Lee certificate of D. Lee the father of said Mariah."

Mariah was born on Aug 16, 1801 in Pennsylvania and died Oct 23, 1846 at the age of 45. She was the daughter of David Lee and Anna Longberry. According to their granddaughter Evaline Kane, they had seven children.

Miner Chambers' second wife was Amanda F. Cotton, whom he married on Dec 30, 1846 in Switzerland County. The marriage license was granted in the Circuit Court on Dec 28, 1846 by the Court Clerk, Edward Patton. Samuel R. Walker, a justice of the peace, married them two days later, and recorded the marriage on Feb 14, 1847 in the Circuit Court. According to their granddaughter Evaline Kane, they had four or five children.

Early land records of Switzerland County, Indiana show a transaction between Minor Chambers and John Prickett in 1816.

There was no U.S. census in Indiana before 1820. In the 1820 census for Indiana, Switzerland County, Cotton Township (Roll 14, page 174), the Miner Chambers family consisted of one male under 10, one male 26 and under 45 (Miner 23), one female under 10 (Elizabeth baby), and one female 26 and under 45 (Mariah 19). The family is listed only two families before the David Lee family (Mariah's family). Both families were engaged in agriculture.

In the 1830 census for Indiana, Switzerland County (Roll 32), the Miner Chambers family consisted of one male under 5 (Thomas Whiten 3), one male 15 and under 20, one male 30 and under 40 (Miner 33), two females 10 and under 15 (Elizabeth, and Sarah 10), one female 20 and under 30 (Mariah 29) and one female 30 and under 40.

In the 1840 census for Indiana, Switzerland County, Cotton Township (Roll 95, page 181), the family consisted of one male 5 and under 10 (David Lee 9), one male 10 and under 15 (Thomas Whiten, 13), one male 40 and under 50 (Miner 43), two females 5 and under 10 (Eliza 3 and Pallas baby), one female 15 and under 20 (Elizabeth), and one female 30 and under 40 (Mariah 39).

In the 1850 census for Indiana, Switzerland County, Cotton Township (Roll 174, p 378), the family consisted of Minor Chambers 53, Amand 41, David 19, Eliza 13, Palac 11, Joseph 2, Lucinda Cotton 18, and Alphonzo Cotton 15. Minor Chambers' place of birth was listed as Penn, Amand's as N.Y., and all the children born in "Ia" (Indiana) except for Alphonzo, who was born in Ky. Minor was listed as a farmer, with the value of his real estate as 800.

According to Minor's granddaughter Evaline Kane, "Mother was the second child of Minor Chambers. He was married the second time. He had 7 by his first wife and 4 or 5 by the second. And Mother thought her Dady was perfect and followed him from Indianna to Kerokirk Iowa where he died a short time after getting here. Died with Gravel (gall stones). Was sick only three days. It seemed like he was afraid Mother would not get her share so he had bought her a Tract of land in Clinton County in Iowa 20 miles from Davenport (Scott County)."

Minor Chambers purchased or sold land in Keokuk County Iowa as follows:

Oct 8, 1851, bought from John Ellis, SE ¼ of the SW ¼of Section 34 in Township 74 North of Range 11 West containing 40 acres for $55.00.

Jan 7, 1853, date of instrument, June 9, 1853, date of filing: bought from Wm Webb for $80.00 for 40 acres, SW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 34 in Township 74, North of Range 11 West.

On Apr 18, 1853, William Webb, Daniel A. Sisson, and Samuel Bowman were appointed appraisers of the estate of Minor Chambers, deceased. The executor of the estate was Horatio Yapp.

8063 Minnie C. Drummy, age 100, died on Sunday, October 16, 2011 at the Agnesian Hospice Home of Hope in Fond du Lac, WI.

She was born at Merry Dale Farm, Cambria, Wisconsin (Columbia County) on June 24, 1911, to Fred and Mary M. (Nietman) Reifsnider.

Minnie was a rural schoolteacher for five years before her marriage to James Drummy, who had returned from Marquette University to manage the Drummy farm in Waupun. They were married on June 10, 1936 in St. Mary Catholic Church, Pardeeville. They purchased the Drummy homestead east of Waupun, which had been bought as adjoining land by both of their great-grandfathers in 1849. They were parents of five sons and six daughters.

She was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church for 70 plus years, its Altar Society, the Waupun Historical Society, and was instrumental in obtaining and establishing the Waupun Heritage Museum. She belonged to the Dodge County Retired Teachers' Association, and was an active member in the Waupun Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution for 63 years. She served as a regent and was a delegate several times to the National DAR Congress held annually in the DAR Constitution Hall, Washington, D.C. She was also active at one time in organizations which no longer exist: The Waupun Women's Club, The Philharmonic Club, Descendants of Civil War Veterans, the Dodge County Federation of Republican Women, the original Wisconsin Rural Writers Organization, and she established the first '4-H' Club in 1932 in Chester. She was an avid genealogist and history buff and was very interested in American history and learned that her ancestors came to this country as early as the 1620's. She was proud of her seven nationalities and that four of her ancestors (Obadiah Smith, Wm. Reifsnider, Aaron Hand and John Philips) served in the American Revolutionary War. An uncle signed the Declaration of Independence and two of her grandsons are the eighth generation of the family to wear the uniform of this country: Lt. Col. Daniel Patrick Clark U.S.A.F and 1st Lt. Jay John Heide, a graduate of Marquette University R.O.T.C., U.S.A.F. Just recently, her great-grandson, Plede Daniel Patrick Clark II, started at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY, making the 9th military generation in the family. She persisted in obtaining a memorial plaque honoring Waupun's first cemetery where 140 pioneers and veterans are buried in what is now called Wilcox Park.

She traveled extensively throughout the United States including Barrow, Alaska to Mexico and trips to the British Isles, Europe and Athens, Greece. Many of her travels are depicted in her oil paintings. Her oil paintings are in 21 states including the DAR National Museum and Smithsonian National Museum in Washington, D.C. and in Europe.

She was preceded in death by her husband James in 1977; two infant sons, Kent and Norman; a daughter, Maureen in 1997; her parents; and a sister, Georgia Smith.

She is survived by 3 sons: James (Janis) Drummy, Milwaukee; Very Reverend John Drummy, Amery; Neil (Nancy) Drummy, Waupun; 5 daughters: Gail (Robert) Clark, Northville, MI; Jacquelyn (Lowell Vingum) Drummy, Madison; Mary (T. Lee) Howard, Middleton; Jeannine (Jeffrey) Heide, Kenosha and Lauri (Patrick Tanner) Piper, Omro; 12 grandchildren: Lt. Col. Daniel (Cynthia) Clark; Robert (Marie) Clark, Chicago; Jennifer Watts; Brian (Marci) Drummy; Craig (Diane) Drummy; Sarah Drummy; David Drummy; Alysia Howard; Ryan Howard; 2nd Lt. Jay Heide; Jack Heide; Mitchell (Colleen) Posthuma; Kerry Lynn (Ray) Mess; Regina (Michael) Karwoski, 12 great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and friends.

She led a long, enjoyable life with her large family and she will be dearly missed.

Funeral services for Minnie C. Drummy will be held on Monday, October 24, 2011 at 12 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Waupun, WI with The Very Rev. John Drummy, Rev. John Schmitz, Rev. Aaron Devett, and The Very Rev. Michael Wild officiating. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery in Waupun. Friends and relatives may call on the family on Monday at the church from 10:30 a.m. until the time of service.

8067 Minta was a nurse who owned and operated Korthaus Convalescent Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for many years. The first on was at 1718 N. broadway later moving to NW 23rd ST. I remember going there frequently as a child; sitting there watching everything. I would tell my mother that I was going to be a nurse when I grew up, which I did. She was a kind and loving sole who was always taking care of others. I was told she had been married 11 times. When I was young I thought that is why everyone called her grandma Courthouse (Korthaus). STOKES, Minta Belle (I2266)

Graduating from Lansing Central High in 1938,she worked as a telephone operator and also for her parents at the Lansing City Market and "Richter's Gardens". In so doing, she was able to contribute to the education of her younger sisters. During World War 11, she was a Hospital Red Cross volunteer.
United in marriage on August 14, 1943, to Duane Dorr Baumer in La Jolla, California, they moved to a small farm outside of Harrison in 1945. Besides farming and gardening for many years, she worked for the Clare County ASCS until opening Devil's Knob Golf Course in 1965 with her husband.

8082 Monumental brass for Roger Giffard and his wife Mary in parish church of Middle Claydon. GIFFARD, Roger Esq. (I24921)
 
8083 Moody attended Harvard College, where he experienced conversion from reading Joseph Alleine's, " An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners". He graduated in 1697 and the following year accepted the chaplaincy of York in northeastern Massachusetts (now Maine). Only a man inurned to the prospect of hardship and possessed of exceptional courage would have agreed to go to a place where the previous minister and a number of inhabitants had lately been murdered by Indians. Moody declined a regular salary, believing that the Lord would provide. Once he gave away his wife's shoes to a poor woman, but a neighbour gave her a new pair before the day was out. Anxious to divest himself of the love of created things, he gave away his most prized possession, his horse, saying, "He goes right up with me into the pulpit, and I cannot have him there ...". Although he never failed in the performance of compassionate acts on behalf of the unfortunate, he nevertheless was a man of violent temper, as he showed when he visited the alehouses, driving home the tosspots whom he found idling there. Many of the tales told of him throughout New England and his strange utterances found their way into Agamenticus, a work of fiction.

Ministering to a people who knew the horrors of the petite guerre waged by the French and their Indian allies, Moody volunteered as a chaplain to John March's ill-fated expedition to Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, N.S.) in 1707. In 1712 York was attacked by Indians and some of Parson Moody's parishioners were killed. The following year, however, he signed a treaty with the Abenakis, which gave some temporary respite. The year before he died, the members of his congregation still found it necessary to go to church under arms.

Moody was a powerful preacher and took part in the religious revivals of his time, including the Great Awakening, which helped to give the expedition to Louisbourg, Île Royale (Cape Breton Island), in 1745 something of the character of a crusade. The fishery in which Maine settlers were so much engaged was threatened by the destruction of their station at Canso, Nova Scotia, and the attack on Annapolis Royal in 1744 by detachments from Louisbourg. Thus a third of the Massachusetts contingent sent to reduce that fortress in 1745 was drawn from Maine, the whole force being placed under the command of Moody's neighbour, William Pepperrell.

Moody joined the expedition as senior chaplain, and when he boarded the transport at Boston he seized an axe and exclaimed, "The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon," predicting that Louisbourg would be taken and that he would cut down the objects of papal worship. "O that I could be with you and dear Mr. Moodey in that single church," wrote Deacon John Gray to Pepperrell, "to destroy ye images their sett up, and hear ye true Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ their preached." It is said that following the siege Moody did attack the altar and images in the French church with his axe. He subsequently gave the first Protestant sermon preached within the precincts of Louisbourg. Though he had always been a long-winded and extemporaneous speaker, at the banquet tendered by Pepperrell to the British naval forces he astonished all present by the brevity of his thanksgiving.

Moody was in his seventies at the time of the capture of Louisbourg, the oldest man in the army. He died two years later at York in the arms of his son, the Reverend Joseph Moody. His first wife, Hannah, had died in 1728; he married Ruth Newman, née Plummer, in 1732 or 1733. The other surviving child by Moody?s first marriage, Mary, was the great-grandmother of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

8084 Morgan was provost of Beverley minster in 1201 and Bishop-elect of Durham in 1213.
According to Given-Wilson and Curteis, pgs 9, 99, 179: Morgan was added to the list of identifiable bastards of Henry II, suggesting that the reason this illegitimate son of Henry II is so little known is that the King died before Morgan was old enough to profit from his father's assistance and influence in his career. Having been elected to the see of Durham, Morgan in 1213 requested and was refused papal confirmation to the see because of his illegitimacy. It also was stated that "Pope Innocent" offered to confirm Morgan as Bishop of Durham if Morgan would swear that he was the son of Nest and her husband Ralph Bloet, rather than the son of Nest and Henry II. Morgan refused to deny his parentage.

8100 Moses Wheeler, 1st, was born in England, probably in the County of Kent in 1598, where the Wheeler family had resided for over four hundred years. He left London in 1638 and, coming to America, joined the New Haven Colony, and was among the first to receive an allotment of land in that Colony. He married Miriam Hawley, a sister of Joseph Hawley, one of the first and most influential settlers in this Colony. Here he resided until 1648, when he was expelled from the Colony, because of a slight infringement of one of the Blue Laws, for which this Colony was so noted. According to tradition, he had been absent from home for several months. The day upon which he returned from his long journey was Sunday. The happiness which he naturally felt on being united to his family once more completely banished from his remembrance all idea of the Blue Laws, and he accordingly kissed his wife and children. This act coming to the knowledge of the authorities, he was immediately expelled from the Colony. He then joined the little settlement of Stratford. Here he purchased his home lot from the Indians on the shore, near what is now known as Sandy Hollow. He afterwards bought a vast tract of land near the Ferry. He was allowed by the General Court to keep the Ferry. He built a stone house on his property, which descended to his son, Moses 2d, who about the year 1670 built a wooden house very near the old stone one, which remained standing until May 12, 1891, when the old ruin was blown up with dynamite. Ten years previous to his death, Moses Wheeler 1st disposed of most of his property to his son - Moses 2nd, to whom the homestead descended; Samuel, and his son-in-law, Joseph Walker, receiving land he had bought of the Indians as far north as Derby.
"The Indians living on the golden Hill, Bridgeport, reservation when all but four of the tribe had departed to the happy hunting grounds, in 1659 gave their first deed to the whites, and Moses Wheeler was the lucky man." --From Bridgeport Telegram.
Moses Wheeler 1st, besides being one of the largest land owners, was one of the leading and most influential men in the town. He was a strong, powerful man, of whom the Indians stood in mortal terror. No wonder, if tradition is true. One day several Indians called at his house. He understood that their purpose was to kill him. He was engaged in making soap. it was boiling in a huge kettle and was very hot. He invited his guests to take a drink of cider, and while they were partaking, he took the paddle with which he was stirring it and covered them with the scalding soap. He died on the 15th of January, 1698, aged 100 years, and enjoys the distinction of being the first centenarian white man in New England. He is buried in the old Congregational Church yard at Stratford. A rough stone, cut from the rocks at the homestead, marks his gave. Moses Wheeler 2d died Jan. 30, 1724, in the 74th year of his age. He is buried at the side of his father, and a similar stone marks his grave. He left a large estate, making him among the wealthy men of Stratford. His son Elnathan occupied the homestead. Stephen Wheeler, a descendant, was the last of the family to live there.
