Grandma's Autograph Book

This autograph book belonged to Lou Emma (Speer) Gurley, the daughter of Charles & Anna Eliza (Runyon) Speer.  She was born Dec. 31, 1865 in Jeffersontown, Kentucky and died Dec. 6, 1957 in Fairfield, Illinois.  Lou married James Robert Gurley Dec. 28, 1892 at his brother Louis' home in Glenarm, Illinois. Louis Gurley was married to Lou's aunt Fannie (Runyon) Gurley. 

The dated entries in the book indicate that she received or purchased it about 1888 when she would have been 23.  It indicates that she went to visit relatives in Texas and later visited relatives in central Illinois in 1891 which is probably how she and her aunt Fannie met the Gurley family. 

The pages are all "out" of the book and I have no idea if the order they are currently in is the order they were originally in. 

You can see the faint outline of the word Album on the front cover.

Landing in New England

This account of the Pilgrims landing is by grandpa William Bradford in November 1620.

Plimoth Plantation

About ten a clocke we came into a deepe Valley, full of brush, wood-gaile, and long grasse, through which were found little paths or tracts, and there we saw a Deere, and found Springs of fresh Water, of which we were hartily glad, and sat us downe and drunke our first New England Water, with as much delight as ever we drunke drinke in all our lives.

When we had refreshed ourselves, we directed our course full South, that wee might come to the shoare, which within a short while after we did, and there made a fire, that they in the Ship might see where we were (as wee had direction) and so marched on towards this supposed River: and as we went in another Valley, we found a fine cleere Pond of fresh water, being about a Musket shot broad, and twice as long: there grew also many small Vines, and Fowle and Deere haunted there; there grew much Sasafras: from thence we went on and found much plain ground about fiftie Acres, fit for the Plow, and some signes where the Indians had formerly planted their Corne: after this, some thought it best for nearnesse of the River to goe downe and travaile on the Sea sands, by which meanes some of our men were tired, and lagged behinde, so we stayed and gathered them up, and strucke into the Land againe; where we found a little path to certaine

Allen, James, comp. Joshua Perry of Granville, Bute & Warren Counties, North Carolina, Rocky Mount, NC, Allen, 1999.

The purpose of this research is to provide historical and genealogical information about Joshua Perry, who came to North Carolina from (probably) Virginia in the 1740s. The data presented herein as accurate as I could make it, but I realize that there are errors and omissions. Therefore, I urge extreme caution when using and citing this report. 

This report is constructed as a research tool, and a beginning point for others conducting genealogical research. . . . It has been said by authorities in the field that genealogical compilations such as this one should never be cited without verifying that original sources are correct. I agree completely with this philosophy. Whenever possible, primary documents rather than secondary sources should be consulted. 

My research and that of others has failed to find a single primary source that

Married: Elkanah Lathrop by 1774

I'm starting to look into the Armon family based on the naming conventions and the fact that the first son is named Armon.  Also the possibility that her first name was Hannah based on the fact that the only known daughter is named Hannah.

Another possibility is that Elkanah had two wives.  The second being a Russell as that is a surname and it is not a name that is in the family before this time.

John Grove Speer in his memoir states:

Grand-mother Speer's maiden name was Margaret Cloyd; where born I do not know. . . . Gen. Joseph McDowell, of Revolutionary war fame, was her uncle, whose life and service in freedom's cause is made honorable mention of in our country's history of that struggle. 

The Catawba river runs through Burke County, and McDowell County joins Burke on the west, and Marion is the county seat. After her marriage she visited her uncle Joseph McDowell and it seems he thought very highly of her, for when her visit was out and she was ready to return home, he gave her a negro girl and boy to take home with her. I have thought that her mother was a sister of Joseph McDowell - if not, McDowell's wife was a Cloyd. I am inclined to the first view, for I always heard it said that he was her uncle. It was said that he was wealthy and owned a good many negroes. My grand-mother either hired these colored servants, or they were a present to her from her uncle McDowell.  I take it that the McDowells are of Scotch descent.

Margaret Cloyd was born ca. 1760 probably in VA the probable daughter of Thomas Cloyd, definitely sister of Solomon Cloyd.  She married John Speer ca. 1784 in North Carolina.

Married: Patience (--?--) ca. 1688

Biography: Samuel Odell, son of William, in 1684 had from his father William all his title and interest in the White Plains purchase.  He removed, like his brother [John] to the manor of Fordham, where with his wife Patience he was 'very well settled to their satisfaction,' when, about the year 1693, his uncle Jonathan Vowles, of Rye, 'happening at that time to be parted and living separate from his then wife Deborah, and being alone and having no children, persuaded him to leave his habitation and to go and live with him.' In compensation for his services, about nine years after, according to his own statement, Samuel received, by deed from Vowles, the southernmost part of Mounsting [Manussing] Island, containing about 150 acres.' Six or seven years after, says Samuel, Deborah, who was then living with her husband, came and borrowed the deed, and he has never seen it since. He returned to Fordham (about 1708, apparently), but persisted in his

Lathrop Reunion - 2019

Yesterday was Lathrop reunion in Fairfield, Illinois.  This is the annual gathering of the descendants of Joel & Louisa (Dove) Lathrop. This year is the 160th anniversary of grandpa Joel's birth and the 141st anniversary of grandma Louisa's birth.  We didn't have a big turnout, but the food and fellowship, as always was great.
