I invite you to enter a query about your Lake County ancestors. Since all queries must be manually posted by me, I ask that you PLEASE adhere to the following guidelines:
  1. This site is for Genealogy research for ANCESTORS or to have a family descendant contact you for genealogy information. It is NOT for searching for old schoolmates, friends, neighbors, etc.
  2. Your query must have a Lake County connection or it will not be posted.
  3. Please send your queries via email to Anita Crabtree.
  4. You must put LAKE County in the subject.
  5. Enter your query information exactly as you want it to appear.
Every effort will be made to post your query within 24-48 hours, however no guarantees are made.
One last request....If you change your email address, PLEASE, let me know. It is so disappointing to people to think they have finally found a family connection, and then not be able to contact the person.

SURNAMES; GRAVES, THOMPSON, ANDERSON

I am looking for any descendants of Bill Graves, Lydia Sleeper, Hensley Thompson, or Ed Anderson from Lake County. My family is researching our history and cannot find anything beyond Ed Anderson and Noona Mitchell. They are supposedly from Upper Lake, but we have been told Scotts Valley, Robinson, and Alturas. Bill Graves is supposed to be the son of William C. Graves of the Donner Party, but we do not know who the mother was.

Thank you, Adeline

SURNAMES; HUTHNANCE

Greetings

An obituary for Mrs. Eliza Haycock, widow of Rev. Charles W. Haycock, a pioneer Baptist minister in Lakeport, dated March 16, 1932 , mentions a REV HUTHNANCE who conducted her funeral service at the Baptist Church.  I am looking for my greatgrand uncles and aunts who migrated to USA and Canada in 1849 and wonder if Rev Huthnance could be a descendant of one of them. All Huthnances are one very extended family and a lot of family research is being carried out. So far no connection appears to have been made to this gentlamen.
With thanks, Mary Kernebone (Sydney)

SURNAMES; HOUSEWORTH

I am looking for information on two brothers: Ebenezer Coe HOUSEWORTH (b. about 1851 in what is now West Virginia) and John Ramer HOUSEWORTH (b. about 1845, also W/VA), both of whom died in Lake Co.

They were in Colusa Co. by 1880, where Ebenezer was a druggist in Arbuckle for many years. They were still living together in Arbuckle in 1900, though both had married--Ebenezer to a woman named Millie and John to Sarah Minnie Inks West. I'm still patching all this together, but Sarah Minnie was in prison in Butte Co. in 1900 for forgery....

By 1910 Ebenezer was in Lake Co. with wife and two teenage foster-daughters, Melcina [?] and Evelina Thompson. He is still there in 1920 (Lakeport), but died 14 March 1920. John Houseworth, though still apparently in Arbuckle in 1910, died in Lake Co. on 17 Jan. 1915. Not sure what happened to the wives--I have undocumented info that Sarah Minnie died in 1929, but I don't know where.

Anyway, I would be very grateful for any help with these people!

    Paul Barker
    SURNAMES; BARKER

    Any info on the Barkerville Eastside School, and, the school at Hough Spring’s ‘Civilian Conservation Corps’ -- next to George Able’s home -- will be greatly appreciated. Several of Ephraim and Mary Barker's 18 children attended both schools -- 1934-1944.
    Jean Nelson taught at the Hough Springs School until it closed. And later on, the Eastside School was established next to Seaton G Barker’s home. Mr. Vale was the teacher.
    I was wondering if any pictures of this Lake County vicinity still exist and are available for public perusal. I spent thirteen years growing up in that mountainous area and witnessed the establishment of Barkerville.
    I remember playing on the iron pipe fence that encircled the King Cemetery, and the great flood that took Mrs. Saylor’s life. I remember the Turner family, Mae Whitney, and the ill-fated Saylor children.
    I am mentioning several names in hopes of jogging some old-timer’s memory. Seeking any-and-all information, please help if you can.

    SURNAMES; JOHNSON

    I am trying to identify the descendents, if any, of Thaddeus Johnson who is said to have been the Superintendent of Schools in Lake County for many years. He was b. 3 Jul. 1896 and d. 5 Jul. 1976 in Kelseyville. He was a widower in 1930, but is believed to have remarried. I am seeking descendents, if there are any, to offer the ancestry of his mother's family line, which traces back to Morris County, NJ and the surname De Camp. If anyone can contribute the name of his second wife and whether they had any children, I would be sincerely appreciative.

Before William died of cancer, he and Maxine adopted out their second daughter who was born in 1963. Maxine’s mother was a housekeeper for a fraternity as I believe Maxine was also a housekeeper/maid. Maxine’s maiden name is Tice (I believe). If anyone has information on this family, so I can complete my family tree and share my information, I would greatly appreciate it.

    William, Maxine, and first daughter lived in the Lake County area in the late 1950’s and early 60’s (possibly longer).

    SURNAMES; JACKSON

    I am searching for information on the John Lee Jackson family. The 1880 Census places him and his family in Lake Co.

    John Lee Jackson was born in London, KY, on 13 Sep 1835 and died on 12 Jul 1916.
    Eliza Brown (wife) b. 17 Oct 1846 in Junior Furnace, OH
    Nellie M. Jackson b. About 1864
    Hattie A. Jackson b. About 1866
    Wallie B. Jackson b. About 1866
    Harry L. Jackson b. About 1868
    John S. Jackson b. About 1870
    Mary L. Jackson b. About 1872
    Katheryn May Jackson b. 23 Oct 1876

    Our family line goes back through Katheryn May Jackson, but I am looking for information about John S. Jackson, also known as Stonewall Jackson (not the Civil War general!) and was suspected to be a gang member and subsequently hanged on July 4th, around 1890 or 1891. Is there a connection between this Jackson family and that of Gen. Stonewall Jackson of West Virginia?

    Please contact Christy Straub at sncstraub@yahoo.com if you have any info on this family. Thanks!

    SURNAMES; RENWICK

    My great aunt, Winnifred Nicholson left some newspaper clippings of family events. One of them says:
    JOHNSON - Upper Lake, California on the 7th inst., Mary Emily, wife of A. W. Johnson and daughter of W.H. Renwick, Bewick Road, Gateshead.   It was dated June 7th 1896.  I believe A.W. stood for Alfred William and W.H. for William Henry. This would have been clipped from one of the local papers but I am not sure which one.

    Looking at your births list they seem to have had a male child born 14 July 1894. From the limited research I have done Alfred William Johnson seems to have previously married Mary Emily Renwick's older sister Eleanor Ward Renwick so there may be other relatives in the Upper Lake area.

    I am related to the Renwick family line and I would be interested to know if anyone else knows anything else about these people.

On the individual records, I can see that the death benefit localities were : Anderson springs, Middletown Rancheria, Seigler springs and whispering pines, so I search on the web and I find your site, and write you an email to perhaps help me in my search.

    So, I know by the funeral, there is not obituary. But, they give me the name of the person who made final arrangement : Mr Phillip F GREEN, P.O Box 1129, Middletown CA, but I don't know if the address is current or not since 1980...

    Who is this person ?, her son, a friend?, it is mystery...and I am in France so it is not easy. Could anyone help me in searching for this person or family of this person, I don't know how I can do this. About my gran'aunt, I know, by the death certificate of Santa Clara county, she was interpretor for the Federal Government, and her last residence was S.Market and West San Carlos in San Jose.

    Is there anyone could help me ?

    I thank you so much !

    SURNAME; FREEMAN, EVERETT

    I have an obit that says my G Grandmother, Harriet (Hattie) Freeman, went to Upper Lake, Ca in January 1936 to be with her daughter Mrs. Vernon Everett. I have another newspaper article, both from Ewing, NE. This one says that in Dec 1939 she went to Upper Lake for the winter to be with with her daughter Mrs. Vernon Everett.

    Vernon and Gladys Everett, both were according to the 1930 Census born in Iowa. Gladys is a half sister of my Grandmother who died in 1935, Malinda Margaret Freeman, she would be my Great Aunt. Malinda died when my father was six years old and we know very little on her. We only just recently realized that she had a half sister.

    According to the 1930 Census for Pender, NE, Vernon and Gladys had three children, Virginia, b: abt 1924, Vernon Jr, b: abt 1926 and not sure if it was 1 yr or 1 mo for Norma.

    I have checked and Hattie didn't die in NE, so she might have died in CA. Her name was Harriet (Hattie) Mae Metcalf/Freeman. She was born in 1877, the last record is that newspaper article that said she went to spend the winter with her daughter in 1939. I am still researching Harriet, she was married in 1902, I'm not sure to who. This was a marriage previous to my line, but could have possibly been to Gladys' father. It's also possible that Gladys is the daughter of Oscar Archer, Hattie married him in 1905 but divorced shortly there after. It could be that Gladys thinks of her as Mother.

    I would love to find out if anyone has any information on this family. thanks, bobbi

    I am interested in finding out more about the READ family and the DAVIS family of Middletown. I have it recorded that Joseph Lilburn Read married Margaret Davis in Lake County in 1860 and returned to Middletown to live in 1874. Joseph was one of my Grandmother's Grandfathers. I would like to hear any stories of the family's history. I have a particular interest in finding out what happened to Janie Davis after reading an album of hers from 1886-1889 while she attended a college in Napa. Many members of both of these families attended this same college, as recorded in the album. (Many entries included home town names.) I believe Janie could have been Margaret Davis' sister or niece. She would have been about 17 years old in 1886. -Janet Farahmand Please forward information to me at: (jbrady@softcom.net)
    ANSWER - Your email doesn't work, so I am posting the answer that was forwarded to me (also see the Biography page)

    1. Samuel Read, born 11/12/1809, Missouri; died 03/08/1883, Orland, California married Elizabeth Leach, born 04/01/1811, Kentucky; died 04/12/1858, Dixon,CA. *These families traveled back and forth between in the east, possibly on business or trade. In 1852 they decided on the push on west and came directly to California with son Joseph L. Read.
         Children (possibly more):
        
    2. Joseph Lilburn Read, born 07/29/1837, Scotts County, Kentucky; died 07/23/1927, Middletown, California; married Margaret C. Davis, born June 30, 1844, Missouri; died Feb. 11, 1923, Middletown, California.   Joseph and Margaret met in California and married on 10/31/1861 in Kelseyville, CA.

    They had 12 children, the following list are the only ones known to have lived to adulthood:

    1) Susan L Read (she is my great great grandmother)
    2) Thomas Albert
    3) Warren
    4) Ralph (believed to have no children)

    You must be a descendant of Albert or Warren in the same generation as my mother. We would like information on which you are related. I have more information on the Read and Davis lines if you want.

    I have photos of the "Read Home" with many of the Reads, including Thomas "Albert" and Warren. My grandmother is quite interested in whom you are related to. The home is still standing in Middletown and the owners let my grandmother see it.

    I am seeking info on two of my grandmother's, Rosa Ellen Duncan Webb, brothers. They were listed in her obit as Robert and Hugh Duncan of Lakeport, Ca. I understand that Lakeport is in Lake county. I knew that she had two brothers, Lonzo and Ed Duncan, that died before she did. She also had a sister, Cassie Sutton of Alpaugh,Ca. I can't recall ever hearing about these other two brothers. I was only 11 years old when she died, so may have just forgotten. If anyone might know of these men or their families, please let me know.
