Ella Stanfield possibly married a Burnard/various sp Morris/var sp abt 1868-9 GA? & perhaps James L Simkins 1876

VIPSRicketson — 2011-10-08 00:17:59Z

Hi I am searching for an Ella Stanfield/var sp who married Burnard/Bernard/Barnard/etc Morris/various sp including Mc or Mac added to front and an "h" at the end. They married in about 1868-1869 perhaps in Spaulding Co, GA.

Ella was the daughter of Elza (nee) Stanfield Jordan. The couple inc an 8 mo old son are living with Eliza(h) Jordan, widow on the 1870 census of Spaulding Co, GA.

I also have an Ella Morris/var sp who married in 1876 possibly Spaulding Co, GA or elsewhere to James L Simkins/various spellings. I am wondering if this could be the same Ella Morris/various spellings as the first one.

Do you happen to have any information about Ella & Burnard and/or Ella and James in your family lines?

Thank you in advance. Sue

Re: Levering, Maris

RayMaris — 2009-09-19 19:33:48Z

Do you have any more information on William Maris who married Magdalena Levering? Most sources I have seen list a Matthias Maris who married Magdalena Levering.

I'd be interested in whether William (or Matthias) connects to my Maris family, although I suspect he is from a German Maris family instead of my family from England.

I do have a few Leverings in my data; James Walter Levering Jr., son of James Walter Sr. and Alma Genevieve Mellor Baines, married Sara Pauline Dutton. This was early 20th Century, long after the book was published.

Also have a John Levering who married Cora Whitted in 1894 and Anna Eliza Levering who married Henry Louis Edgar probably about 1830.

Hi, Cuz!
Oh, I know it was not you who borrowed them, but I do know WHO it was and have been thinking of sending a public message since he won't respond. They were slides I took at the MARIS' old home area in England along with family slides in the same box. Of course, I have no copies. I have learned my lesson....

Nevertheless,
I am glad to be in touch with you and will e-mail privately.

Thanks for the info on the Roger Maris family. Darn, I thought I could tell Pat she had a famous baseball player relative. LOL

Re: George Maris and Revolutionary War Service

RayMaris — 2008-11-13 19:43:17Z

Cousin Jackie,

Haven't heard from you for a while!

Roger's family spelled the name "Maras" until Roger was in high school, and you are correct that he is probably not related to our Maris family. You are also correct that most of the Marises in the U.S. are members of "our" Maris family, although there are a few others.

E-mail me at raymond -at- maris.net so we can share updated information, if you'd like.

By the way, I am not the one who borrowed your slides! :)

Re: George Maris and Revolutionary War Service

RayMaris — 2008-11-13 19:30:40Z

Judy,

Well, pretty much all of the George Marises back then were Quaker, and quite a few Quakers did go against the teaching of the Society and serve in the War. I think at least one of the Quaker George Marises did so, I'm just not sure which one.

I don't really think Roger Maris was connected to this Maris family. His family came to the U.S. much later and they spelled the name "Maras" until changing it to "Maris" while Roger was in high school.

Re: George Maris and Revolutionary War Service

JackieSwitzer — 2008-11-13 19:13:17Z

Years ago, I read that Roger Maris' family came here from Italy and he originally spelled his name MARIA.
At any rate, I don't think he is a MARIS. I do think almost all the MARISes are from the same line.

I wish I could get my slides back from a MARIS descendent who "borrowed" them, used them for a presentation which was very well received, then kept them! Bad apple? Certainly a sour taste for me.

Re: George Maris and Revolutionary War Service

Judy Jordan — 2008-11-13 18:33:01Z

Hi Ray:

I agree that the information about the George Maris I'm researching is wrong & belongs to another George. I even found a reference on Ancestry to a DAR marking for his gravesite in NC. But having been a Quaker family, it's really doubtful he served. Another researcher contacted me as she was trying to help someone join DAR on his service & didn't find anything new to prove his service either. Too many George Marises around during that time.
Judy
P.S. Do you know if Roger Maris, the baseball player is connected to this family?

Re: George Maris and Revolutionary War Service

RayMaris — 2008-11-13 14:57:11Z

I have the following notes for George Maris (1744-1782), son of John Maris and Katharine Bound:

"According to the 'Roster of Revolutionary Ancestors of the Indiana DAR', he served as a Private of the Fourth Class in Capt. Curtis Lawnes' (Lownes?)Company, Chester Co., PA. in the Revolutionary War. However, subsequent research indicates that this is most likely incorrect and that the George Maris who served was someone else, possibly a cousin of this George. Possibly George (b. 1733), son of George Maris and Ann Lownes or George (b.1761, son of Jesse Maris and Rebecca Owen."

I have no proof of any of this.

Re: George Maris and Revolutionary War Service

Judy Jordan — 2008-11-12 20:21:07Z

According to DAR records, George served as a private in the Chester Co PA militia under Capt Curtis Lownes & Lieut Co Richard Willing. BUT...DAR is now disputing this service. I believe because his family was Quaker. My husband's cousin's grandmother was a DAR member in OR on George Maris' service. I've been trying to find out if there is anything online to dispute what DAR is now saying.

Re: William Harrison Maris

William Harrison Maris died 29 Jul 1929 in Paola, KS. Here is a transcription of his obituary as published in "The American Friend", August 22, 1929, page 632:

"MARIS--William Harrison Maris, son of Charles F. and Martha Goode Maris, was born February 2, 1869, at Fairmount, Kansas, and died July 29, 1929, at Paola, Kansas. He was married June 12, 1901, to Ella Bromell, five children being born to the union. He was a birthright Friend, was a useful and much loved citizen of his community and was active in political affairs of his state."

If you could check I would very much appreciate it, if it isn't too much trouble. He is almost certain to be one of the William Marises in my data, but I must be missing his middle name and date of birth.

Thanks!

"Friends 'at the Spring', a history of Spring monthly meeting" by Angie I. Newlin 1984
Genealogical records from Cane Creek MM,NC -Cane Creek MM, Orange Co,, NC on 6 Jun 1767 George Maris received on certificate -Cane Creek MM on 18 Apr 1770 George Mearis of Orange Co. marries Eleanor Lindley of Orange
Co,, NC. George lived a short distance north of the Spring Meeting House. The family name was given to Maris Creek which later was corrupted by usage into Mary's Creek.
m. Elinor Lindley 18 Apr 1770 Cane Creek MM, NC
d. 6 Dec 1782 Orange Co, NC
From Rich:
Our family has many Quakers in NC during the Rev War. Some were classed as Patriots. The following note is written about Elinor's older brother, Thomas (b. abt 1740):
"THE BATTLE OF LINDLEY'S MILL"
The Quakers, because they steadfastly refused to bear arms against their fellow man, were for the most part, neutral during the War of the American Revolution. In the immediate area around Thomas Lindley's land and grist mill in North Carolina, there were both Tory and Whig sympathizers. The Tories were those loyal to the British Crown, while the Whigs were the rebels, or those who sought their independence from England. The Whig forces are said to have commandeered Thomas Lindley to provide flour for the troops from his grist mill. It is most likely for this reason that in the DAR lineage books, Thomas and his son Jonathon, are listed as Patriots.

He married Eleanor Lindley, born September 1750 in Chester County, PA They married April 18, 1770 in Cane Creek MM, Orange County, NC. Do you have any information as to whether George served in the militia?

Re: lillie clarissa maris married prince macy in texas

clarancesmith — 2005-03-19 20:28:49Z

Yes! Absolutely!! Please!!!

Lillie Clarissa Maris was a double first cousin to my grea-grandfather. Perhaps you know they were married in Batesville, Texas where Prince had gone because of his TB. I think he only lived 4 weeks or so after the wedding. My understanding is that Prince and Lillie were childhood friends, having attending the Springdale Seminary, a Quaker academy located in Springdale, IA. Perhaps you know that Lillie returned to Iowa, then within a year after Prince's death, she went to Duluth, MN where she enrolled in the fairly new nurse's training program at St. Luke's Hospital. Later she married Fred Stillwell and she died about 1957 I believe in Chicago. I can look up any details if you are interested. Many thanks for your kind offer. Clarance Smith in Mpls, MN
