Re: Laura Draper (Frisley or Tinsley)

dkesk1 — 2009-10-22 19:35:29Z

You are looking for Laura Pauline Tinsley born in Yavapai county Arizona, moved briefly to Utah and ended up in Grants Pass where she married Albert Bazil Draper. Her second and maybe last marriage was to Herbert Stormes and they lived in Crescent City where they were buried. Laura passed away in 1997. I have much more data on her parents and grand parents, including pictures. please contact me at danfrab@aol.com or dkesk@att.net and if you are related to her, I would like to communicate with you.

Brandy, my name is Jim and my mother is a Draper. I have
a book that traces the Draper's to Thomas Draper and Lucy
Coleman. You have to understand that Phillip married 4 times and info is very sketchy. There is a John Draper
and Coleman Draper mentioned amoung other sibleys. But no
mention of there marriages or chidren. The above info
was provided by Mrs. H. M. Wright a granddaughter in 1931.
Maybe this helps a little. Best of luck.

Re: Alton Draper

Rromanhero31 — 2009-08-19 13:44:40Z

Alton Draper was my great grandfather who passed away in 1983 in Clearfield,PA His funeral service was held in Philadelphia. He indeed married Letitia White who died in 1929 from whooping cough. They had (3) children together (Alton Jr., Clifford, and Marian) Alton Jr passed away in 1995 and was living in Collingwood NJ. Alton Jr. had 2 children (Buzz and Janet) Buzz died in 1985 as he was hit by a car and the culprit was never caught. Clifford died around the age of 2 from whooping cough. Marian is my grandmother and is still alive in the Clearfield,PA area last check. She is 83 years old. After the passing of his 1st wife Alton Draper then re-married. I only knew this woman as "Nanna" and I believe they had 2 more girls together (Carol & I'm not sure of the 2nd girls name) The 2 younger girls were kept in the dark about Alton's first marriage and this created a riff in the family when they were adults and this info was finally revealed. I have vivid memories of my G-grandfather Alton Sr as he lived with my grandmother Marian in Clearfield when I visited as a child. He had quite the mouth, loved to smoke a pipe, and sip on 6.5 oz of Pabst Blue Ribbon or Rolling Rock. We used to listen to Phillies games on the radio and I believe when the Phils won the World Series in 1980, he could finally find some peace. He loved to play practical jokes and had quite the sense of humor with a foul mouth to boot. Alton was a trolley conductor in Wilmington in the late 20's early 30's and I know his family was from the Caroline,MD area. Altons father was George Fletcher Draper and his mother maiden name was Angie N. Urry. I hope that this info is helpful and let me know if I can provide any further assistance in filling in those family tree branches. I can be reached @ Rromanhero3@verizon.net if further info is needed.

Re: Abigail Young Draper

jtardiff118 — 2009-07-13 19:42:28Z

More info now available. Research done and now know we are descendent's of Phineus Howe Young brother, of Brigham and somehow also related though not directly to the Utah Draper's. It appears Abigail Young Draper and her husband Samuel did not become Mormans.

Would like more info on Abigail's sister Clarissa

Re: Mary Draper Ingles decendent

I don't think we are related to any of the Engles in California. But you never know. Thanks for the info.

Jamie

Re: Mary Draper Ingles decendent

JimMcMillen75 — 2009-07-05 20:11:22Z

Remember that no words, names included, had a "correct" spelling before the mid-1800s. Most people didn't know (or, probably, care) how their name was spelled. Clerks wrote down what they heard. So Ingles became Engle over the years.

Do you happen to be kin to the Engles of California--Kern County has a bunch of them--including the late Clair Engle, late US senator.

Jim

Mary Draper Ingles decendent

masstherapist07 — 2009-07-04 22:16:59Z

I am a decendent of Mary Draper Ingles. The spelling of the last name changes along the line from Ingles to Engle. My great grandmother's madien name was Engle. Her parents were James Elmer Engle and Ethel Emma Price. James Elmer Engle's parents were Fean James Engle and Mary M Stroud. Fean's parents were James Lewis Engle Minerva A Clifton. James' parents were William Ingle and Elizabeth Hall. And William's parents were John Ingles and Margret Crockett. John's parents were William Ingles and Mary Draper.

I'm not sure why the spelling changed though. It would be interesting to find out.

Looking for info on Mary Jane Draper

marksrd1 — 2009-06-16 19:57:52Z

Mary Jane Draper (1842 to ~1892), lived in Wabash, Indiana and married George O. Marks in 1872. I think their only child was Eugene, whom I descend from. I am looking for info from collateral lines that would have descended from Mary's siblings or her grandparents.

Re: The James Draper Family

drapertree — 2009-06-04 05:47:28Z

James was b. in 1786 in Dutchess Co., NY, to John Draper and his 2nd wife, Elizabeth Lane. James marr. Molenda McCall/McNall in 1808 in St. Andrews, Quebec. They had 9 children, the last 7 b. in East Settlement, QC. After Molenda's death ca. 1830, he remarr. Olive Tucker and had 5 more children, all b. in East Settlement. James d. 1864 in Bowmanville, ON, and is bur. in Bowmanville Cem.

While some of his descendants remained in Ontario or Quebec, others moved on to IL, KS, TX, MI, and Vancouver, BC. The only ones I find moving to Michigan descend through James' son, John (1828-1916). But in 1881, John and family are listed in Wallaceburg, Kent Co., ON. He d. in ON, but is bur. in Detroit's Woodmere Cem. All of his 7 children were b. in ON, mostly in Bowmanville.

At least one child, John Wesley, moved to Detroit. He marr. Louisa Meech and had 2 children before divorcing her and marrying Margaret.

There are other Draper families who migrated to the Detroit area from Canada, NY, and OH, so they may not be closely related.

Lots more detail can be found on my website, the Draper-Tree. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~drapertree

Re: Mary Ingles'' Children

JoAnneYates63 — 2009-05-20 14:54:54Z

Supposedly, John Ingles had a son named James (L) Ingles, who was the first husband of America Ann Carden. America was my great, great grandmother. They had a daughter named Margaret, who married George Green. After James' death, America married Robert Rose, and one of their children, a girl, was named Sarah Isabelle Rose, who became my great grandmother.

I do Not know the background of James Ingles, just what I found on a marriage certificate when America, a widow, married widower Robert Rose. Anyone knowing the background of 'my' James Ingles, please respond.

Re: Farrell "Rusty" Draper

katmik1 — 2009-05-17 02:02:43Z

I thought that was you! The weird thing is I found that one of my McAfee ancestors married a Draper in Colorado, that branch goes back to the Delaware Drapers, maybe I will find a connection on that side!

Re: Farrell "Rusty" Draper

JimMcMillen75 — 2009-05-17 01:54:37Z

Kathy,

How did I miss that katmik1 on the message board was katmik? It was only when you mentioned that Lillian was True's daughter that the light went on.

Since looking up Farrell "Rusty", Sam C, Bertram, and especially since seeng that Bert's father, the earlier Sam C (for Copeland), came out of New York, I'm more certain than ever that they were not part of our Thomas Draper's family.

The New York Drapers and the New England Drapers are not kin to our Virginia Drapers, who are not kin to other Virginia Drapers or to the Carolina and Georgia Drapers.

Maybe someone else will have a comment on this.

Jim

Re: Farrell "Rusty" Draper

katmik1 — 2009-05-16 21:08:10Z

I was told that Rusty, had wanted Lillian's brother Bill Draper to go on the road with him, when he started out. And that they were cousins. Lillian's father was True Draper, his father was Jesse Lee. I have also , been told that "no" they weren't related at all. So, I am just working on the puzzle and appreciate the names. It gives me somewhere to start looking

Re: Farrell "Rusty" Draper

JimMcMillen75 — 2009-05-16 20:34:11Z

If Alford Draper was Farrell's grandfather, and he almost certainly was, then he would have been Lillian's grandfather, too, if she and Farrell were first cousins.

Alford B Draper: his death certificate says Alfred Bertran Draper, born 19 Jan 1875, Adair County, Missouri, died 18 Sep 1953, Kirksville, Adair County, son of Samuel C Draper and Mary Parsons, deceased wife's name Carrie Belle Newman; he was known as Bert and gave info for other death certificates, including Carrie's. He was the Bertrand A Draper, born about 1875, found in Salt River, Adair County, Missouri, in 1880, son of Samuel C Draper, born about 1830, New York, and Mary F Draper, born about 1840, Ohio. The father's name and the location both point to this earlier Samuel C being Farrell "Rusty" Draper's great-grandfather. In addition to Bertrand A (age 5), other children in this family included (in 1880) Lewis C (19), Theron (10), and Mamie A (3).

Theron and Mamie died in Adair County, as did a John D Draper and Emmett L Draper, who may also be related.

Lillian, if a cousin, but not a first cousin, of Rusty, should connect to some of these family members. Or perhaps you can find others in this family whose names ring a bell. If not, she is beyond a second cousin in relationship and I wonder if it is worth pursuing further.

Re: Farrell "Rusty" Draper

katmik1 — 2009-05-16 18:54:12Z

Re: Farrell "Rusty" Draper

JimMcMillen75 — 2009-05-16 03:19:12Z

Ferrell H Draper (recorded as Ferold), born about 1923, was recorded in Clay, Adair Co, Missouri, in the 1930 census, the son of Sam C and Della Draper. Ferrell had a sister, Phyllis, born about 1926. S C Draper gave permission for his son Ferrell to marry at age 19 in 1942.
Sam, born about 1900, Missouri, married at 19; Della was born about 1898, Missouri. Both of their fathers were born in Missouri; both of their mothers in Illinois. Sam, in 1930, was a merchant/grocery store.
A Samuel C Draper, born about 1901, was recorded in Salt River, Adair Co, Missouri in 1910. He was the son of Alford B and Carrie S Draper, Alford born in Missouri but Carrie born in Kentucky. Another son in this family, age not legible, was "Feryl" Draper. There was also a daughter Wilma, 7. It is my opinion that this was Sam C's family.
