Rhoda Biggs, 1772: Worked pocketbook - double form
(5/12/02) - Worked or needlework pocketbooks were popular from 1740 until 1790, with the fashion reaching its peak between 1760 and 1780. Men, as well as women, carried them. Worked pocketbooks were made in two shapes: the single envelop and the double form that folded in the center with equal size divisions on each side. The most popular stitch was the Irish Stitch in a Flame Design, which is the stitch used in Rhoda Biggs' pocketbook.

Rhoda Biggs' pocketbook is in the collection of the Clinton County Historical Society, and we would like to thank Ann Florea Larrick (Rhoda's GGGG Granddaughter) for providing us with the progression of this pocketbook through the family.

Rhoda Casto Biggs (Mrs. Daniel Biggs) was born in 1730 in Salem, New York, the daughter of Elizabeth Abbott Casto and William Casto.

Rhoda Casto Biggs gave the pocketbook to her son, William Biggs (1759 - 6/28/1828) who gave it to his daughter, Charlotte Biggs Athey (5/9/1823 - 3/2/1901) who gave it to her daughter, Nancy Maria Athey Florea (7/19/1841 -12/26/1926) who gave it to her son, Franklin Arthur Florea (1/18/1871 - 9/29/1919) who gave it to his son Alpha M. Florea (3/1/1899 - 9/5/1945) gave it to his daughters: Carolyn Florea Casson (b. 10/25/1926), Ann Florea Larrick (b. 8/19/1929), Elnora Florea Torres (b. 4/1/1934) and Mildred Florea Curry (9/18/1937 - 3/18/2002).

'Frances Williams'
Siebold Plantain Lily

The species is named for the German physician & botanist Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796‚1866) who sparked general interest in hostals in the early 1800s after he returned to the Netherlands with several specimens he had collected over time during his long stint as a physician in Nagasaki for the Dutch East India Company.

The cultivar is named for Mrs. Frances Ropes Williams (1883-1969) of Winchester Massachusetts, who spotted & quickly obtained the first known specimen when it appeared in a field of H. sieboldiana at Bristol Nurseries in Connecticutt, in 1936.

Mrs. Williams was a devoted hosta enthusiast & founding member of the American Hosta Society; she bred & named many introductions developed in her private garden.

5414 I'm not confident with this family connection between Mary "Polly" Higgins and Uriah.

I've discarded the 1755 date of birth for Mary as given by Dick Dutton and his GEDCOM from 1999, as this does not match up with Uriah's age, and makes her really old to be having 7 children.

5427 In "Footprints Across Woods Co., OK" the story submitted about Scott states that Scott and Mary Melinda adopted a son named Dugan who was born ca 1866. I have found no documentation on this yet.
Scott may have born in Harrison Co., OH.

Scott was writer/poet and had several books published: the hard back book is called: "Musings of the Pilgrim Bard" - at least 2 paperbacks: Twilight Reveries, Owaaneo Pale Flower which is included in his Musings book, Shadows and Sunshine: "A Legend of the Great Rebellion" among others. We have never been able to find the other ones. He was well known in the later part of the 1800's and early 1900"s in both Barber Co., KS and Woods Co., OK., as well as surrounding areas. It was said that he could never turn down a chance to speak at a July 4th celebration or any other type of gathering either. His books show that he was a true patriot and very proud of his country. He has passed that pride down to his decendants

5439 In the 1850 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Jacob is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $2,000.00. He and his wife and children reside in Blanchard Twp. next door to his brother who is married to his wife's sister, Barbara.

In the 1860 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Jacob and Mary Ann reside in Blanchard Twp. at Macomb. Jacob is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $4,000.00 and whose Personal Estate value is $560.00.

According to A Portrai and Biographical Record of Putnam County, Ohio, 1896, page 357, Jacob was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. It also states that "In 1849 Jacob moved from Starck county to Hancock county, and located on 220 acres of land in Blanchard township, where he remained until 1866, when he moved to Hillsb[sic]ale, Mich., where he died..."

In the 1880 Hillsdale County, Michigan Census, Jacob is a widowed, "retired farmer" who resides with his son, Henry, and family in Woodbridge Twp.

According to Dorothy Weiser Seale's Mat(t)hias milestones : the genealogy & biograhical history of Daniel Mathias, senior (a soldier of the Revolution) of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania & Stark County, Ohio, "In 1806, when Jacob was less than age two, he traveled overland from Westomoreland County, Pa. to Stark Co., Ohio with his parents and settled in Nimishillen Township...In 1849, Jacob and his family left Stark County and moved to Hancock County, Ohio where they located on 220 acres of land in Blanchard Township...In 1866, Jacob and Mary Ann, lured by the beautiful farming and fishing country in Michigan, moved to Hillsdale County, Michigan where they spent the remainder of their lives. Their eldest son, Jesse, preceded them to Hillsdale County in 1860. Among those who moved to Michigan with Jacob was another son, Henry H., and Jacob's brother Daniel, III..After his wife's death, Jacob lived with his son Henry H...."

His marker at West Woodbridge Cemetery in Camden Twp. states that he died at age 78 years 1 day.

5440 In the 1850 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Paul is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $5,000.00. He and his wife and children reside in Blanchard Twp. next door to his first cousin, Jacob, who is married to his wife's sister, Mary Ann, and their children. Dorothy Weiser Seale states on page 331 in her book Math(t)hias Milestones (1984) that "Paul and his wife Barbara moved from Stark Co., Ohio to Hancock Co., Blanchard Twp., Ohio sometime before 1840. In the 1850 Census, Paul was a landowner with considerable acreage in Hancock Co. and resided there with his wife and ten of their children. His farm adjoined that of Jacob and Mary Ann Mathias... his first cousin."

In the 1860 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Paul and Barbara continue to reside in Blanchard Twp. but their post office address was then identified as Gilboa. Paul is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $15,000.00 and whose Personal Estate value is $2,500.00.

On page 331 of Mat(t)hias Milestones, Ms. Seale explains: "Their farm was near the Putnam County border, and Gilboa was the largest town and closest delivery point. As one of his father's heirs, and as one of the beneficiaries of his sister Polly's Will, Paul inherited a share of the property in the Southwest Quarter of Section 3, Twp. 19, Range 7 in Stark Co., Nimishillen Twp., Ohio. On 3 March 1863, while they were residents of Gilboa, Putnam County, Ohio, Paul and Barbara Mathias did, by deed of quit claim, convey their interest in Section 3 to John Krabill who paid them the sum of $900."

Paul and Barbarey (as it is spelled on her headstone) are buried next to each other. His marker states that he was aged 53 years, 5 months 6 days when he died; that would make his year of birth 1813 though the Census records suggest he was born in 1808 or 1809. However, a letter written by Paul and Barbara's son, Captain John C. Mathias, in his Pension File states that Paul died in 1864.

He was a man highly esteemed for his many virtures, a sound Republican, and believer in the doctrine of free salvation (968)."

Her death record states that Rebecca died due to consumption at age 53 years, 6 months, and 2 days, and that she was a housekeeper who resided in Louisville, Stark County, Ohio. That would make her birthdate April 26, 1839; however, her record in the Robinson-Clark Family Bible is identified as May 20, 1839.

Rebecca's obituary in the 28 October 1892 Louisville Herald is as follows:

"Mrs. Rebecca Baum died this morning at her residence
on Gorgas street, aged 54 years. She leaves a large

her loss. Funeral will be held at the Progressive
church."

John Bell Hood, 10 miles from Franklin. He was paroled at Vicksburg, Miss. on or about 21 April 1865. At Vicksburg, the steamer Sultana took on the paroled prisoners, comprising of 33 officers and 1, 833 men. On the night of 27 April 1865, the boilers exploded and the steamer sank. Seventeen officers and 1,084 men were lost. Ephraim survived the disaster, but was mistakenly reported killed. Following the explosion of the Sultana, he was admitted to Soldier's Home in Memphis for a short time. On 7 May 1865 he reported to Camp Chase, Ohio and was mustered out on 22 May 1865 as a Sergeant. Medical records after his return home from the service show that in 1865 he was suffering from rheumatism ans neuralgia...


Ms. Seale explains that it is alleged that Ephraim died in Saguache, Saguache Co., Colorado before 1896 although her search discovered that there is no tombstone on record for him there and there are no death records available for that time period. However, Saguache was his last known address. Government records indicate that in 1894 and "...in 1896 Lucinda, then residing in McComb, Ohio, was still trying to find out if a pension were being paid to..." him. Ephraim's health ailments may be the reason that he "...left his family and sought the dry climate in Colorado." However, Ms. Seale's research indicates that

His Civil War records indicate that he may have abandoned his family and remarried, for he was the subject of a search by his mother and his wife through the Bureau of Pensions. If he deserted his wife and children, Lucinda may have remarried, for in Ephraim's Civil War papers, obtained from National Archives in Washington, D.C., she was known as Lucinda Mathias, and later as Lucinda Lynn (page 332).
