Levi Lincoln Goodell and his wife Sarah Elizabeth Parker are buried there as is their son Bert and his wife Nora Frances George, daughter of Wesley Calvin George and Rebecca Lurana Poteet.

The stories of my ancestors and other relatives never fail at being interesting. I am not a descendant of William and Elizabeth Mooney. However, she is my great-great grandfather’s sis, making her my great-great grand aunt or great-great-great aunt. (These are interchangeable terms.) Many members of the Mooney family are buried in the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, [...]
I am continuing to unravel the story of the George family, ancestors on my mother’s side. My great-great grandfather Wesley Calvin George had an older sister named Elizabeth. She was born in 1838 or 1839 in Virginia, possibly in Middlesex County. Elizabeth appears to have lived the latter part of her life in the nation’s [...]
Chris Smithson has been helpful once again. He found a marriage announcement for Elizabeth George in The Baltimore Sun. It mentions her as being from Middlesex County, Virginia. She married William Mooney on June 11, 1856 in Baltimore. The announcement was published in the July 8, 1856 edition of the paper. This Elizabeth — Elizabeth George Mooney — is likely the [...]
Yesterday Christopher, the man who I mentioned before, sent me some more files on the George family. What a terrific guy. One document was Elizabeth George’s death certificate. Another was a marriage announcement for Judith A. George and Elijah Bonner from The Baltimore Sun. Both name Lancaster County, Virginia as their birth place. I have been [...]
A man named Chris Smithson, who has a long list of abbreviations behind his name, most of which I don’t recognize, volunteered a few days back to do look-ups for people in The Baltimore Sun.1 I asked him if he might be able to track down an obituary for Elizabeth George, who was born around 1806 and died sometime after [...]
Today someone sent me information on the marriage of Emby George’s daughter, Gail. A marriage announcement was published in the Los Angeles Times on July 12, 1946. It gives the places where both Emby and Gail were living or planned on living, Newport Beach for Emby and West Los Angeles for Gail and her new husband. The notice does not [...]
Well, I may have finally discovered where the George family lived in Virginia before Wesley and his mother Elizabeth moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where they were living in 1850. The place was Greenbrier County, Virginia. Today the county name is the same, but it is within West Virginia. I found a marriage record matching the [...]
A kind soul on a genealogical mailing list for Los Angeles responded to my query on Fred George, including addresses where two men with that name were living. There is a Fred J. George residing at 532 W. 79th and Fred George residing at 1843 Wollam in 1939 according to the Los Angeles Extended Area Phone [...]
I was poking around Ancestry.com yesterday and happened upon a record for Jacob Frederick George, the older brother of my great grandmother Nora Frances Goodell. He went by the name Fred, and often in official documents, Frederich. I was looking for information on their grandparents Jacob Will and Elizabeth George, who continue to elude me. There [...]
