50 Year Service Pin, FRA 289

Last night my husband came home from his FRA 289 meeting in Imperial Beach, CA. with a quiet silly grin and said,"I received this award tonight."

He also received a Certificate, we will frame.  He has worked and been a member of this group for
50 + years now.  Presently serving on the Board of Directors.

He received this pin from the Ex National President of the Association. Also a member  for FRA 289.
His new card is Silver the old one was Bronze. He is looking forward to the Gold card in ten years.


Having always been pro military for education and knowledge and growth, he was blessed with one healthy child that served in the USNavy. Not that the others did not try to join because they all did.

The oldest got a Tiger Cruise and wanted to be a Pilot so bad.  The youngest one wanted the Coast Guard and again it did not happen. At these times standards were very high and they did not need bodies.

Mary Burgess of Virginia Wife of John Brammer ?


Having spent some time scanning files and trees in Ancestry, I still can not locate records or files to my satisfaction. Having looked at files at LDS Library, it appears I have a ways to go.

My curiosity was peaked because I was back in Pittsylvania Co. Virginia, which was old Halifax Co. VA.  Where our Thomas Scott line dead ends at also.
Thomas Scott died in old Halifax Co. VA at the time it separated and his area became Pittsylvania Co.


 Scoured files on Burgess, Brammer and  Lee, plus other families of these same last names.  Some great sources for some of the names, others very shallow.
splish splash 


General opinion by what I found is this.  Mary Burgess born 1725 Patrick Co., VA
died 1810 Patrick Co. VA  reunion program says she was 85. 

Many John Brammer's have to be careful, very careful.

John Brammer born 1720 Patrick Co. VA death 4 Dec 1814 Patrick Co. VA aged 94


I found one source that gave me some clues that was about it.



JOHN BRAMMER (1740-1813) in 1780 was granted 248 acres"lying in Henry County, formerly Pittsylvania", on White Oak Creek.
The land was located in the portion of Henry County which became
Patrick County in 1791. He may have been in the county some years
before 1769, the date of his first survey. It is believed that he had
brothers named James and George. His wife was Mary Burgess (1725-1810).
His sons included Burgess, Edmund and John Jr. John served in 
Capt. Owen Ruble's Co., Henry County Militia, Virginia in  the Revolutionary War.

Data I have collected on Mary Burgess's husband is as follows:


Name:
John Brammer
Date:
6 Nov 1759
Location:
Spotsylvania Co., VA
Property:
500 a. in Spts. Co.
Notes:
This land record was originally published in "Virginia County Records - Spotsylvania County, 1721-1800, Volume I" edited by William Armstrong Crozier.
Remarks:
Thomas Coleman of Spts. Co. and Sarah, his wife, to John Payn of sd. Co. 135 curr. 500 a. in Spts. Co. 3 Dec 1759.
Description:
Witness
Book:
E

This is ironic again because the reference runs back into the Payne's. Which is the odd end of my Scott line also.  


John and Mary had several children. My link is down from Edmund  and his wife,
Mary Ann Lee b 1770 Leesley Valley, VA d 1844 Windsor Twp. Lawrence Co., Oh.

Daughter Artaminta Brammer, b abt 1797 Virginia died Marshall, KS.

  • Victoria Mae (Ida) Foulk Jones Norris, our Grandmother

    Grandma Ida was born 6 Nov 1897 in Washburn, Ia, according to her own story to me at my dining table.  Her parents were Harvey Edward FOULK and Margaret Mae EASTMAN.

    She was born on a Saturday.  Verified by  Year 1897 Calendar, I may have it in a salvaged letter but doubt it.

    At Historical Events for Year 1897 | HistoryOrb.com, it states that "Peter Pan" opens in NY at the Empire Theater on this date.

    Also the first Indoor Fly Casting tournament opens, at Madison Square Garden.  Mmmm wonder if they are still doing this?


    Aha back to google and found this:
    1. Chronology of the Dreyfus Affair - Georgetown University

      faculty.georgetown.edu/.../Chronology%20of%20the%20Dreyfus%20Af...
      The English press is circulating the false news of Dreyfus' escape from Devil's island. ...November 6, 1897 ... November 12-13. 1897. At his home, Scheurer-Kestner has a meeting with Matthieu ... Entitled as a full page headline "J'accuse.


    It is interesting to see in December of that year, was the letter written by Virginia O 'Hanlon. Do you remember what it was about?  I Do. Now I know why Grandma talked about it.


    Interesting I think I have done this before because there was no one famous born on her birthdate.
    Nor death or marriage.  Rather boring day in history.  Except for Peter  Pan
    making it to the Empire Theater.

    Her family has a famous painter and an opera star both in her background.  So Peter Pan makes sense to have happened.

    Margaret Fuller, daughter of James Fuller

    Margaret Fuller is our Ancestress, she is the daughter of James Fuller and as best we know "Catherine".

    James Fuller was born in Maryland, 30 Jan 1769 and died 30 Jan 1842 in Peoria, Peoria, Ill at age 73.

    Catherine was born 1777, if correct.

    Margaret was their first born girl child, from what records we could find.  Margaret was born 15 May 1801 in Washington Co. Maryland.  She married Samuel Warden whom was born in Huntingdon Co. PA on 5 Nov 1818 in Guernsey Co. Ohio.  He died 18 August 1884 in Grant City,  Worth, Mo. at age 88.

    Margaret was buried in Madrid, Boone, IA. She died 29 Dec. 1897.  age 96.  I have been to that cemetery for another family member and was shocked to learn a couple of years ago that the WARDEN's buried in that cemetery are all related to me.

    My sister in law went and photographed all the family in that cemetery for me. Thanks Marilyn Pentico.

    We inherited some pictures of this family.

    Her siblings were: Thomas R b 31 May 1789, Linton Hundred, Washington Co. MD, then Margaret,
    Susannah b 11 Sept 1802, Washington Co. MD., Elizabeth  b 1803 in Ohio, Joseph b 1804 in Guernsey Co. Oh., William Billy Fuller b 1810 OH.

    1850 census verifies our information on her children and husband.  Also that all the children were born in Ohio and hers.

    She and Samuel Warden, raised: John, James Murray, Samuel (Labath),  Jane,  Daniel*, Susanna, George, Isaac, Therisse Tursey, Nancy Ellen.

    *Her son Daniel b 10 Feb 1830 Guernsey Co., Oh m 25 Feb 1853 in Guernsey Co., OH to a Mary J. Langdon born 1853  Ohio died 1868 Iowa.

    Much on Daniel but his CW records are to be found here.

    IF YOU HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON ANY OF THESE PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

    COUSIN ROBERT FULLER THANK YOU FOR THE ASSISTANCE.

    I look ever so often to find more on James Fuller and wife and parents. So far nothing.

    Daniel and Mary J Warden hang in my sister's house.
