SYMBIOS

A WILLIAM BRADFORD LINE
NOT
FROM THE "MAYFLOWER"

Because I have New England Clevelands on my family tree, I grew up believing (thanks to my mother, and her fractured family history; we also had a castle in Scotland!) that I was directly related to President Grover Cleveland. I'm not; his branch is quite a ways from mine. In the same way, most people in the United States who have a William Bradford on their tree probably think they are direct descendants of William Bradford of the "Mayflower." A lot of them are, but there are other possibilities.

I spent several years trying to connect my wife's New York-New Jersey Bradfords to the "Mayflower" line, to no avail. A few of those "Mayflower" Bradfords did trickle down toward New York after a few generations, but none fit with the information we had to work with. Finally, in one of those regional biographical compilations (so popular around the end of the Nineteenth Century) I found what looked to be the right information. Describing the life of James E. Crane, county clerk of Alameda County, California, in 1892: "Grandfather William Bradford came from England at the age of seven" [1]. From other data we had on William Bradford, we concluded that he had arrived in New York about 1775. So, he was here at the time of the "Founding Fathers," but long after the Pilgrims.

After getting this clue to "our" William Bradford's beginnings, some of the other pieces of family information began to fall into place. There are still a lot of holes in the puzzle, and a lot of questions unanswered, but we now have a line that we can take through half a dozen generations. You'll find it below, along with some speculations and analysis that might eventually lead to some more answers. If you can help at all, or if you have questions, please contact me. I have given detailed information only through the Fifth Generation, because some of the Sixth and many of the Seventh are still living. If you have specific questions about more recent members, contact me.

GENERATION 1

1. BRADFORD - So far, I only know that he reportedly brought his family from England when his son William BRADFORD (William-2) was seven years old [1]. From son William's age in later censuses, their arrival would have been about 1775 [2, 3].
Because William-2 married in New York City and lived there until at least 1820, I have assumed that these Bradfords came directly to New York City from England, and lived their lives there. However, I haven't found any certain reference to them being there. They may have landed somewhere else, and William-2 may have made his way to New York City, later. Because they arrived in the turbulent days leading to the War of Rebellion, they might have moved more than once in the last quarter of the 18th Century.
I know of one child:
2. William BRADFORD (ca 1768-ca 1867)

GENERATION 2

2 William BRADFORD [BRADFORD-l].
William Bradford was born in England ca 1768 [2, 3], of so far unidentified parents. He came with his family from England to the American colonies ca 1775 [1]. I haven't learned anything about his early life. As noted above, I have assumed that he came with his parents directly from England to New York City, but I can't positively identify him there before 1796 [5]. The 1790 U. S. federal census recorded a William Bradford in New York City's East Ward, in a household with three females [4]. Was this him, perhaps living with a widowed mother and his sisters? Pure speculation; obviously, more work is needed.
William-2 is probably the William Bradford living in Ward 4, New York City, at the time of the 1800 federal census, in a household with two adults (male aged 26-44, female aged 16-44) and one male under 10 [8]. William-2 had married Elizabeth COBB in New York City, 30 June 1796 [5]. I have no record of a child from this marriage until ca 1801 (a girl), but a child born between 1797 and 1800 would be logical.
Elizabeth COBB was probably the daughter of William COBB, the only New York City Cobb recorded in the 1790 New York City census [4]. I have been unable to find any information about her. She apparently died early in their marriage, as there is more than a ten year gap between the known children of William-2. William-2 married 2nd ca 1810-1812 Elizabeth HARRISON. She was born ca 1788, reportedly in New Jersey [2, 3]. I haven't identified her parents.
William-2 was a merchant tailor on John Street, New York City, and owned "a square" (city block?) on John Street [1, 6]. He reportedly was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church on John Street [1], but his marriage to Elizabeth Cobb was performed in the Presbyterian church [5].
This family was almost certainly living in New York City at the time of the 1810 census, and was probably the William Bradford household in the Second Ward [9]. The age of the head of household is too young, as recorded, but otherwise the enumeration seems possible. There is one male 10-15 years of age (the under 10 male from 1800?), a female under 10 (matching with a daughter known born ca 1801), and a female 16-25 (Elizabeth Harrison, William's second wife?).
The William Bradford family in New York City's Ward 2 in 1820 matches well with other family information I have accumulated: 2 males under 10 (sons born ca 1818 and 1819), 1 male over 45 (William-2), 1 female under 10 (daughter born 1813), 1 female 10-16 (daughter from Elizabeth Cobb marriage), and female 26-45 (Elizabeth Harrison, 2nd wife) [10]. The male recorded in 1800 and 1810 would likely be out of the household by this date.
By 1830, William Bradford had moved his family to Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey [11]. He continued his tailoring business in New York City, and must have been the "Mr. Bradford, tailor" at 112. Fulton Street who, on 13 August 1835, lost his business when a major fire destroyed the building he used [7]. Financial troubles continued. "Being kindly disposed to his friends he endorsed for several and lost heavily in the financial crash of 1837, saving, however, a competency"[1]. In 1840, the family was living in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey [12]. William was listed in the 1840 Newark directory, living at 196 Bank Street, but with no occupation noted, further suggesting he no longer had ties to business in New York City [13].
In August 1850, William and Elizabeth were living in Newark with the family of William's daughter, Sarah Elizabeth (BRADFORD) RENTON [2]. James RENTON apparently died sometime between 1850 and 1860, and by June 1860, William, Elizabeth, and the Renton family had moved to Clark County, Missouri, where William and Elizabeth's daughter, Sarah Theresa (BRADFORD) CRANE, lived with her family [3]. They lived there the remainder of their lives. I haven't been able to find specific death records for either, but William reportedly died at age 99 (ca 1867) and Elizabeth at about 90 (ca 1868) [1].

William BRADFORD and Elizabeth COBB had perhaps two children:
3. (Tentative) Male BRADFORD (ca 1798- )
4. Sarah Elizabeth BRADFORD (ca 1801- )

William BRADFORD and Elizabeth HARRISON had perhaps four children:
5. Sarah Theresa BRADFORD (2 October 1813-18 June 1899)
6. (Tentative) George H. BRADFORD (ca 1815- )
7. John Harrison BRADFORD (5 October 1818-2 November 1905)
8. William H. BRADFORD (October 1819- )

GENERATION 3

3. Male BRADFORD (Tentative) [William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1]
This male, who may have been the son of William BRADFORD and Elizabeth COBB, appeared in their household in the 1800 and 1810 censuses of New York City [8, 9]. He would have been born between 1797 and 1800. I cannot identify him after 1810, but by 1820 he could have been out of his parents' household.

4. Sarah Elizabeth BRADFORD [William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1]
"Eliza" BRADFORD, the daughter of William BRADFORD and Elizabeth COBB, was born in New York City ca 1801. She lived in her father's household in New York City until her marriage 19 June 1821 to James RENTON. I haven't identified James' parents. He was born ca 1794, possibly in Pennsylvania [2].
I haven't been able to positively identify the family between their marriage and 1840 but, if the 1850 census is correct, they were living in New Jersey by ca 1828, when a daughter was born there [2]. After leaving New York City, they lived first in Morris County, New Jersey. They were there at least from 1831 to 1834 (children died there). By 1840 they were in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, with Eliza's family [12]. James Renton was listed in the Newark directory as a shoe manufacturer, living at 196 Bank Street [13]. The 1850 census gave his occupation as "ironmaster" [2].
James RENTON apparently died sometime in the early 1850s, and by June 1860, the widow Eliza Renton had moved with her family and her father and step-mother to Clark County, Missouri, where Eliza's half-sister, Sarah Theresa (BRADFORD) CRANE, lived with her family [3]. Eliza probably moved to Wisconsin (location undetermined) with her daughter Anna (RENTON) BARNES and family, living there at least 1864 to 1868 (children born there). In August 1870 she was living with the Barnes family at Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania [14]. By June 1880 they had moved again, and were living at Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska [15]. I can find no records of Eliza Renton after that date.

James RENTON and Sarah Elizabeth BRADFORD had at least five children:
9. William Bradford RENTON (27 August 1822-4 August 1831)
10. Josephine RENTON (ca 1828- )
11. James Leander RENTON (1 June 1831-12 March 1834
12. Orleanna RENTON (ca 1839- )
13. James RENTON (April 1843- )

5. Sarah Theresa BRADFORD [William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of William BRADFORD-2 and Elizabeth HARRISON, was born in New York City 2 October 1813. She lived in New York City until sometime in the 1820s, when the family moved to Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey [11]. She married James Harvey CRANE ca 1832, probably in Morris County.
James Harvey CRANE, son of John CRANE and Mary MINTON, was born 29 October 1808 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. Presumably he attended schools in Morris County and worked with his father, farming or making barrels. By the early 1830s he had moved to Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. James was a cabinetmaker and, with his brothers Lemuel M. CRANE and Daniel B. CRANE, manufactured and sold cabinets in Newark [15]. About 1842, the brothers established a furniture warehouse in Mobile, Alabama, and Daniel moved his family there to operate that end of the business. James and Lemuel continued to operate the business in Newark. In 1846 Lemuel was still working as a cabinet maker, but James advertised himself as an engine manufacturer [16].
Early in 1850, James and Theresa moved their family to near Morgantown, Monongalia County, (now, West) Virginia, where he was engaged in "manufacturing" (likely the steam engine manufacturing he had started in Newark) [1, 17]. Sarah's brother, John Harrison BRADFORD, and his family probably accompanied them. About 1854 the Crane family moved again, this time to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where James was involved in the building of a rolling mill (for the production of sheet and bar metal) [1]. Late in 1856 or early in 1857, they moved west to Clark County, Missouri. James bought 1,200 acres of land 15 April 1857, intending a major farming operation. His plans did not work out, and he was forced to sell the land back to the original owner 25 August 1860 [18]. His farming aspirations apparently continued to go wrong, for in 1862 he was renting land from his son-in-law Thomas SCHOONOVER, and by 1864 owed rent for the previous three years. He agreed to a lien on all his farm property and crops until he could pay the back rent (which he apparently had done by 25 September 1866, when the lien was cancelled) [19].
The Cranes lived in Madison Township, Clark County, Missouri, until ca 1874, when the family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. There, James worked as an insurance agent for Fireman's Fund, San Francisco [20]. He and Theresa were living in Oakland with their son Charles W. CRANE, when James died 7 October 1878 [1, 21]. Theresa died in Oakland 18 June 1899. Both were buried in the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland [21].
James Harvey CRANE and Sarah Theresa BRADFORD had at least ten children [22]:
14-Angelina CRANE (September 1833- 5 August 1902)
15-William Bradford CRANE (21 April 1835-20 April 1879)
16-James Elbert CRANE (18 March 1837-)
17-Evanna CRANE (January 1841-)
18-Julia Ann CRANE (26 November 1842-9 April 1912)
19-Lewis CRANE (ca 1845- )
20-Frederick CRANE (ca 1847- )
21-Charles Wilson CRANE (3 December 1848-13 March 1890)
22-Josephine CRANE (May 1851-)
23-Alice CRANE (1 October 1854-12 October 1949)

6. George H. BRADFORD (tentative) [William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1]
I include George Bradford in this family tentatively because he was living with William and Elizabeth (HARRISON) BRADFORD in June 1860 at Waterloo, Madison Twp., Clark County, Missouri [3]. He was born ca 1815, a logical date for a son to have been born. The census reported him born in New Jersey (should have been New York, if he fits in this family), but that particular census had at least five errors in birth locations in the Bradford-Crane-Renton households. I can't find any certain record of George Bradford before or after the 1860 census. If not a son of William-2, it would seem a big coincidence if he wasn't kin of some sort.

7. John Harrison BRADFORD
[William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 5 October 1818 in New York City, New York County, New York, New York. He lived in New York City until sometime in the 1820s, when the family moved to Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey [11]. By 1840 they were in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey [12, 13]. I haven't found out anything about his young life. It is possible he worked for his brother-in-law James Renton manufacturing shoes, as he described himself as a shoe merchant later [17].
On 20 October 1844, probably in Newark, he married Caroline WARD. Caroline, reportedly the daughter of Phineas WARD and Nancy WILLIS, was born in Morris County, New Jersey, 22 October 1822 [23]. John and Caroline lived at Newark until early in 1850, then moved with the family of John's sister, Sarah Theresa (BRADFORD) CRANE, to near Morgantown, Monongalia County, (now, West) Virginia, where John was employed as a shoe salesman [17]. The Cranes stayed in West Virginia and nearby Pennsylvania for a number of years, but the Bradfords moved on. Apparently they traveled overland, because they were in Nebraska Territory in June 1852 (child born) and in California by October 1854 (child born). They were living at Cascade City, Butte County, California, in June 1860, where John was mining [24]. They had moved south to Solano County, California, by August 1870, and farmed there [25]. In June 1880, they were in the household of their son, George BRADFORD, who was a farmer at Orland, Colusa County, California [26].
I have found no specific records of either John or Caroline between June 1880 and June 1900. The June 1900 census recorded John with the family of their daughter, Jessie (BRADFORD) BASHORE, in Oceanside, San Diego County, California [27], and Caroline with their son Walter BRADFORD at Arbuckle, Colusa County, California [28]. Information on the internet (without references) is that John died 2 November 1905 at Anaheim, Orange County, California, but is buried at San Diego. I haven't been able to confirm those dates or places. Caroline died in San Diego 18 December 1909, and is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery [29].

John H. BRADFORD and Caroline WARD had seven children:
24. George Ward BRADFORD
(23 May 1846-13 August 1940)
25. Caroline Elizabeth BRADFORD (10 March 1850-7 April 1932)
26. Lewis Renton BRADFORD (3 June 1852-29 April 1941)
27. Josephine Harrison BRADFORD (29 October 1854- 22 March 1877)
28. Walter Cobb BRADFORD (15 May 1856-19 July 1926)
29. Jessie Eliza BRADFORD (14 November 1860-2 January 1943)
30. William David BRADFORD
(8 October 1864-27 June 1944)

8. William H. BRADFORD [William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born October 1819 in New York City, New York County, New York [30], the son of William BRADFORD-2 and his 2nd wife Elizabeth HARRISON. He lived in New York City until sometime in the 1820s, when the family moved to Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey [11]. By 1840 they were in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey [12, 13]. In the 1840 Newark directory, he was listed as a law student [13]. I haven't been able to determine where he was studying law, or if he ever entered the profession.
In 1849, he joined the throngs of young men headed for the California Gold Rush. He was in Sacramento, Sacramento County, California in February 1850 [31]. After that, I have found only intermittent records of him. He apparently served in the military, probably with the Union Army during the Civil War [32, 33]. About 1895, he was living in California, but no details were provided [1]. In June 1900 he was living in a rooming house on North Grand Avenue in Los Angeles, widowed and retired [30]. In May 1910, he was at the National Home for Disabled Soldiers at Malibu, Los Angeles County, California [32]. He died 9 March 1912, and was buried in the Los Angeles National Cemetery [33].
The 1900 and 1910 censuses recorded William-3 as widowed, but I have never found any record of his wife or any children.

GENERATION 4

9. William Bradford RENTON [Elizabeth BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of James RENTON and Eliza BRADFORD, was born 27 August 1822, either in New York City or in Morris County, New Jersey. He died 4 August 1831, and is buried in the Vail Cemetery, Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey.

10. Josephine RENTON [Elizabeth BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of James RENTON and Eliza BRADFORD, was born ca 1828 in Morris County, New Jersey. By 1840, she had moved with her parents to Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, and was still in their household there in August 1850 [2]. Probably she married after that date, but I haven't been able to identify her later.

11. James Leander RENTON [Elizabeth BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of James RENTON and Eliza BRADFORD, was born 1 June 1831 in Morris County, New Jersey. He died there 12 March 1834, and was buried in the Vail Cemetery, Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey.

12. Orleanna R. RENTON [Elizabeth BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of James RENTON and Eliza BRADFORD, was born ca 1839 in New Jersey, either in Morris County or in Newark, Essex County. "Anna" was living with her parents in Newark in August 1850 [2]. Her father died in the early 1850s, and she moved with her mother, brother, and BRADFORD grandparents to Clark County, Missouri. Her aunt, Sarah Theresa (BRADFORD) CRANE was living there with her family [3]. About 1859, she married Francis "Frank" BARNES. Frank was born in New York ca 1834; his father was reportedly born in Connecticut, and his mother in Massachusetts, but I haven't been able to identify them.
Frank and Anna left Missouri in the early 1860s, almost certainly in the company of Frank's brother, David BARNES, and his wife Angelina CRANE, who was Anna's cousin. They lived in Wisconsin from at least 1864 to 1868 (children born there), probably at Wauwautosa, Milwaukee County, where David and Angelina settled [34]. By August 1870 they had moved to Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, where they farmed [14]. By June 1880 they had moved again, and were living at Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska, where they once again farmed [15].
Frank Barnes died at Kearney, and was buried in the Kearney Cemetery 29 September 1881 [35]. So far, I've been unable to locate Anna after 1881.

Francis BARNES and Orleanna RENTON had three children:
31. Frank R. BARNES (June 1860- )
32. Charles C. BARNES (ca 1864-10 July 1880)
33. George BARNES (ca 1867- )

13. James N. RENTON [Elizabeth BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of James RENTON and Eliza BRADFORD, was born in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, in April 1843. He was living with his parents in Newark in August 1850 [2]. His father died in the early 1850s, and he moved with his mother, sister, and BRADFORD grandparents to Clark County, Missouri. His aunt, Sarah Theresa (BRADFORD) CRANE was living there with her family [3]. When his sister, Orleanna (RENTON) BARNES moved with her family to Wisconsin in the early 1860s, James and his mother moved also. They lived in Wisconsin (probably Milwaukee County) from at least 1864 to 1868, then moved to Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania [14]. James' mother and sister moved from Pennsylvania by 1880, but James remained there, and was working as a machinest in June 1880 [36].
James Renton married before June 1880 Margaret S. ______. Margaret, whose father was reportedly born in Germany and mother in Tennessee, was born in New Jersey ca 1838 [36]. She died before June 1900, probably in Philadelphia County, where James was still living in 1900 [37]. I have found no record of James after 1900, and I don't know of any children by this marriage.

14. Angelina CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born in September 1833 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey [34]. She moved with her family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850 [1, 17] to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [1]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. About 1859, probably in Clark County, she married David BARNES [38]. David was born in New York ca 1831; his father was reportedly born in Connecticut, and his mother in Massachusetts, but I haven't yet identified them [3].
Soon after their marriage, Angelina and David moved to Wauwautosa, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, where they farmed and lived for the rest of their lives [39, 40]. David died between 1880 and 1900, but I haven't found a death record for him yet. Angelina died 5 August 1902 [41].
David and Angelina (CRANE) BARNES had four children:
34. Cora BARNES (ca 1862-)
35. Julia Adelaide BARNES (ca 1864 - 8 October 1889)
36. Orleanna BARNES (ca 1873-)
37. Charles BARNES (ca 1875-)

15. William Bradford CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 26 April 1835 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. He lived with his family in Newark until late 1849 or early 1850 when they moved to near Morgantown, Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia) [1, 17]. In 1854 they moved again to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania [1, 42].
I haven't been able to determine what schooling William had, but assume he attended primary schools in Newark. His brother James Elbert CRANE attended the "Morgantown Academy" [1] (probably the Monongalia Academy, as no record exists of a "Morgantown Academy"), and William may have attended there, also. His later occupations show a strong understanding and interest in hardware and the mechanics of mine operations, so he probably worked with his father manufacturing engine parts and constructing a steel rolling mill. In 1854 he was working for Alexander McCLURE who owned a timber company and had a sawmill and box building company [43, 44].
William left Pennsylvania for Missouri in late 1854 [43]. He appears to have settled first at Canton, Lewis County, Missouri, where he married Mary Louisa WILLIAMS ca 1857. Mary, the daughter of Dr. James Thomas WILLIAMS and Louisa CECIL, was born in Lewis County in 1841 [45]. William and Mary lived in Canton in 1857 and 1858, where William had a wagon and carriage shop and also a mercantile store with Joseph W. HOKE [46, 47]. They apparently lived for a year or less near Independence, Missouri, where William ran a ferry across the Missouri River [48]. By July 1860 they were living in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, where William had a hardware and mercantile store [49, 50]. He was appointed manager of the Pilot Knob Iron Company (Iron County, Missouri) in November 1860, a position he held until the Civil War forced closure of the plant in early 1862. As he was leaving Pilot Knob with his family to visit friends and family in Canton, Missouri, Mary became ill and died 9 February 1862. Her body was taken to Canton, where she was buried in the Forest Grove Cemetery [51].

Being deeply in debt and with few prospects for making money in War-depressed Missouri, William decided to leave his infant daughter with her maternal grandparents, and go West to the mining areas of Montana. He and his brother Lewis CRANE took the steamer "Emilie" up the Missouri River to Fort Benton, Montana. They visited the Montana mines briefly, but the areas didn't look promising to them, so they traveled on to Oregon, arriving in Salem in August 1862 [51, 52]. William immediately found a job with the Oregon Steam Navigation Company (OSNC), working on their steamboats on the Columbia River. In the next eight years, he worked the mining camps of eastern Oregon, western Idaho, and eastern Nevada, partly on assignment from the directors of OSNC and partly on his own. With his brother Lewis and his uncle Charles H. CRANE, he developed a farm near Boise, Ada County, Idaho, from which they supplied the mining camps with fruits and vegetables.
On 8 December 1870 in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, William B. CRANE married Alice Jane McCULLY [53, 54]. Alice, twin sister of Frances Ann McCULLY was born 21 August 1851 in New London, Henry County, Iowa, daughter of Asa Alfred McCULLY and Hannah Keziah WATERS. Frances soon died. In March 1852, Alice left New London with her parents and other relatives, and crossed the plains to Oregon, arriving in August 1852 [55]. The family lived first in Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon, before moving to Salem, Marion County, Oregon in late 1863 or early 1864. The family moved again in late 1870 to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, but returned to Salem the following year. Alice Jane presumably attended public schools in Harrisburg and Salem, and is said to have graduated from St. Mary's Academy in Portland, reportedly the only school in the Northwest at that time where a girl could study music [54, 56].
At the time of his marriage to Alice Jane McCULLY, most of William B. CRANE's time was being spent in the White Pine mining district of eastern Nevada, where he mined, ran a lumber mill, and sold life insurance to the miners [57].
For the next eight years following their marriage, he was on the road almost full- time, developing mines and selling life insurance. (As we've pieced together his schedule, it has become clear that, in their eight and one-quarter years of marriage, he and Alice probably lived together less than one year!) In 1871 and 1872, much of his work was in Baker County, Oregon; Alice lived for awhile in Portland, then with her parents in Salem, Oregon. From 1873 through 1877, he spent much of his time at Virginia City, Storey County, Nevada; Alice lived in Oakland, Alameda County, California, usually with CRANE relatives, while William had a house built for them in Virginia City. They apparently moved into the new house some time in 1874, only to see it burn to the ground in the great Virginia City fire on 26 October 1875 [58, 59]. Alice lived part-time at Virginia City after that, but was more frequently in Oakland or with her parents in Oregon.
By early 1878 they had a house of their own in Oakland, but William was mostly away, superintending the Extra Mining Company, and overseeing the development of the Bully Hill copper mine at Copper City, Shasta County, California. He was at Copper City in February 1879 when he became ill. He returned to Oakland, then in April decided to make a trip to Oregon to visit with Alice's family. He died 20 April 1879 at the McCULLY home in Salem. He was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem [60].

After William CRANE's death, Alice brought her children to Oregon, living for awhile with her family in Salem, then with her daughter, Ethel Linnie (CRANE) DABNEY and family in Portland. On trips to Massachusetts to visit with her son and daughter-in-law, Clarence and Stella (HOWARD) CRANE, she met Stella's parents, Daniel and Georgianna (WEATHERBEE) HOWARD. After Georgianna died, Allie and Daniel married 9 April 1903. She returned to Oregon to settle her affairs, but found her children there adamant against the marriage. She divorced without returning to Massachusetts.
Allie continued to live with the DABNEYs, in Portland until 1926, then in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County, California. She died in Beverly Hills 8 December 1932. Her body was returned to Oregon, where she was buried in the Salem Pioneer Cemetery [56].
William Bradford CRANE had two daughters with Mary Louise WILLIAMS:

38. Sue CRANE (ca 1859 -1861)
39. Mary Louise CRANE (5 August 1861 - 28 September 1949)

William Bradford CRANE and Alice Jane McCULLY had three children:

40. Clarence CRANE (28 November 1871 - 13 April 1942)

41. Ethel Linnie CRANE (29 May 1874 - 5 May 1966)

42. William Bradford CRANE Jr. (29 June 1879 - 25 June 1967)

16. James Elbert CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 18 March 1837 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. He lived with his family in Newark, attending public school there, until late 1849 or early 1850 when they moved to near Morgantown, Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia) [1, 17]. He attended "Morgantown Academy" (probably Monongalia Academy) [1, 61] for a year or two, then entered Thompson Academy in Thompson, Wyndham County, Connecticut [134]. After graduating ca 1855, he taught school in Windham County, but then joined his parents in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he worked with his father building a rolling mill (for the production of sheet and bar metal) [1]. Late in 1856 or early in 1857, he moved with the family west to Clark County, Missouri, where in 1857 his father bought 1,200 acres of land, intending a major farming operation. James worked with him for two or three years, but the venture failed, and James acquired 100 acres of land of his own in nearby Lewis County, Missouri [1].
In late August or early September 1860, he married Ruth Jane GOODWIN [63]. Ruth was born 13 October 1840 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania [64], the daughter of Dr. James E. GOODWIN and Ruth Jane NEGLEY. Ruth lived in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, until ca 1855, when her family moved to Clark County, Missouri [65, 66, 67].
Ruth and James farmed in Lewis County, Missouri, until the outbreak of the Civil War. James then enlisted, serving in the Union Army for four years. He was an Army recruiter at various locations in Missouri (and nearby states?) [1, 68]. Ruth probably lived part of this time with her parents in Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa, as their first child was born in Iowa in August 1862, and Ruth died of typhoid fever (which also killed her father) in Keokuk 25 November 1864 [64, 73]. She is buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Keokuk, beside her father, mother and brother.
After the War, and after Ruth's death, James began work as a civil engineer, first working on the construction of the Missouri, Iowa & Nebraska Railroad (June 1866-June 1867). He then was assistant engineer on the Missouri & Mississippi Railroad (June 1867-July 1872), with headquarters at Macon City, Macon County, Missouri [1]. While employed by the Missouri & Mississippi Railroad, he married 18 March 1869 Ariel NORRIS [69]. Ariel, or "Allie," the daughter of Elijah NORRIS and Martha BARNETT, was born ca 1845 in Baltimore County, Maryland, but had moved with her parents to Clark County, Missouri, by October 1850 [70].
James and Ariel were living in Fayette, Howard County, Missouri, in July 1870 [71], while still employed on the Missouri & Mississippi Railroad. It is possible they moved after July 1872 when James was hired as assistant engineer of the Clarksville & Western Railroad [1]. They may have moved again in 1873 when James became resident engineer of the Mississippi Valley & Western Railroad, with headquarters at Hannibal, Marion County, Missouri [1]. When that railroad failed in June 1874, they moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California, where James continued his career with the Central Pacific Railroad, working as a clerk and bookkeeper [1, 144]. He also was elected in November 1890 as Alameda County Clerk, a post he held for two years [1].
James and Ariel presumably both died in Oakland, Ariel between 1880 and 1910, and James between 1910 and 1920. I haven't yet found death dates or burial locations for either.
James E. CRANE and Ruth Jane GOODWIN had two children:
43. Emma CRANE (August 1862-)
44. George CRANE (14 September1864 - 12 June 1942)

James E. CRANE and Ariel NORRIS had two children:
45. Julia Irene CRANE (1 April 1871 -10 January1940)

17. Evanna CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born January 1841 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. She moved with her family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850 [1, 17]; to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [1]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. There, on 17 May 1860, she married Thomas SCHOONOVER [74]. Thomas, (probably) the son of Gilbert SCHOONOVER and Mary Jane ____, was born in (Tioga County?) New York in May 1836 [75, 76, 77]. He probably lived in New York until the late 1850s, when he moved to Missouri. He was a carpenter, a career he pursued his whole adult life.
Evanna and Thomas lived near her parents at Waterloo, Clark County, Missouri, for a year or two after their marriage, but by November 1864 had moved to Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri [73].Thomas continued to own land at Waterloo, which he rented to his father-in-law. The Schoonovers were still in Alexandria in August 1870 [78], and still in Missouri (probably Alexandria) in 1874 when their youngest child was born. By 1880, they were living in Oakland, Alameda County, California [79], probably having moved there at the same time (ca 1874) as Evanna's parents and siblings.
The Schoonovers were probably living part time at Copper City, Shasta County, California, as early as 1878. (Thomas registered to vote at Copper City in 1879 [89].) By 1881, they appear to have been living in that area yearlong [80], and were still there in June 1900 [77]. Thomas worked as a carpenter most of his life, but in 1896 and 1898 he was identified as a bridge watchman [89, 90]. Thomas died 16 October 1905, probably at Mable, Shasta County, California, or in one of the nearby communities [81]. In April 1910 a widowed Evanna SCHOONOVER was living with the family of her daughter Fannie (SCHOONOVER) ARNOLD in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California [82]. By 1920, she had moved with the Arnolds to Berkeley, Alameda County, California [83], where she was still living in April 1930, age 89 [84]. She died 28 January 1932. I don't know where she was buried.
Thomas SCHOONOVER and Evanna CRANE had five children:
47. George Bradford SCHOONOVER (3 June 1861-16 January 1944)
48. Charles Edward SCHOONOVER (January 1865- 12 May 1935)
49. Frances Josephine SCHOONOVER (2 November 1868-16 September 1958)
50. James William SCHOONOVER (6 September 1871- 6 November 1957)
51. Alice E. SCHOONOVER (September 1873-)

18. Julia Ann CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born November 1842 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. She moved with her family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850 [1, 17]; to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [1]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. She never married, and continued to live in her parents' household in Missouri until ca 1874, they moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. She lived the rest of her life with various of her siblings in Oakland, and died sometime after April 1910 [157]. I haven't found a death date or burial location for her, yet.


19. Lewis C. CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born ca 1845 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. He moved with his family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850 [1, 17]; to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [1]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. When his older brother, William Bradford CRANE, left Missouri for Oregon in 1862, Lewis went with him. They took the steamer "Emilie" up the Missouri River to Fort Benton, Montana; visited the Montana mines briefly; then traveled on to Oregon, arriving in Salem in August 1862 [51, 52].
William immediately found work in Oregon, and Lewis traveled to San Francisco, California, where his uncle Charles H. CRANE was living. He rejoined his brother by March 1864, in Owyhee County, Idaho Territory, where William was involved in silver and gold mining [86, 87]. Uncle Charles brought his family to Idaho Territory at the same time, and he with his nephews William B. CRANE, Charles W. CRANE and Lewis CRANE claimed and developed a farm and ranch at Boise, Ada County, that supplied meat, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables to Boise and the surrounding mining communities [88, 91, 92].
Some time in 1867, Lewis was thrown from a horse, suffering head injuries that reportedly affected his behavior after that, causing him to show "frequent signs of insanity.". This may have been a partial cause of a fight between Lewis and another farmhand on 25 September 1868, which resulted in Lewis fatally stabbing his uncle Charles H. CRANE, when Charles tried to intervene. Lewis was arrested, and held for medical examination. Witnesses reported that he was "seemingly unconscious of the deed that he had committed [94]. I have been unable to find any law enforcement or court reports following the event, and suspect that Lewis was judged insane. The only record I have found for him after the murder was in May 1872, when his brother William reported that Lewis had died "of consumption" in California [93]. He died unmarried, and I haven't found a death date or burial location.

20. Frederick CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born ca 1847 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. He moved with his family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850 [1, 17]; to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [1]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. He was with his parents at Waterloo, Clark County, Missouri in June 1860 [3], and August 1870 [164]. In the 1870 census, he was listed as belonging to the U. S. Cavalry, which suggests he served during the Civil War, and stayed enlisted afterwards. However, I haven't yet found any military records for him.
I have found no certain records of Frederick CRANE after August 1870. However, an 1892 biographical sketch of his brother, James Elbert CRANE, included the information that Frederick was alive in California, and unmarried.

21. Charles Wilson CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 3 December 1848 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey [165]. Almost immediately, he moved with his family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850 [1, 17]; to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [1]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. He was with his parents at Waterloo, Clark County, Missouri in June 1860 [3]. About 1867, he traveled west to Idaho Territory, joining his brother William B. CRANE at Silver City, Owyhee County. In August 1867 he took over the operation of his brother's general store and market in Silver City [97]. He closed down the general store portion of the business by August 1868 [167], but continued to live in town and sell fruits and vegetables until some time in March 1869 [99]. Produce came partly from the Crane farm at Boise, Idaho, and part of it was brought by wagon from California.
By October 1870, Charles had moved to Boise and was managing the Crane farm [100]. He continued to supply produce to the Owyhee mining camps until at least July 1871 [101]. The Boise Valley farm was sold in 1873 [102], and about that time Charles moved to California. He lived in Oakland, Alameda County, and worked in San Francisco, describing himself at various times as advertising agent, news agent, purchasing agent, and mining secretary [103]. He worked closely with his brother William on mining activities, and represented people and businesses as far distant from San Francisco as Virginia City, Nevada [104].
About 1879, Charles married (in Oakland?) Sarah Elizabeth MERRITT. "Libbie," as she was called, was born May 1849 in New York State, of parents born in New York [79]. So far, I haven't been able to identify her parents or specifically where she was born. She and Charles were married only a decade when he died of consumption 13 March 1890 in Oakland [96]. I haven't located his burial site.
Sarah did not re-marry. She lived with their children in Oakland until at least 1900 [79]. I have been unable to locate her from 1900 until April 1930, when she was living with her son, Raymond E. CRANE, and his family at Applewold, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania [105]. Raymond lived in Armstrong County until at least 1945, so it is likely that Sarah died there and is buried there.
Charles and Sarah had three children:
52. Raymond Elmer CRANE (11 August 1881-)
33. Linnie CRANE (ca 1883- )
54. Miriam Merritt CRANE (December 1885 -)

22. Josephine CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born May 1851 near Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia. She moved with her family to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [1]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. She continued to live in her parents' household in Missouri until ca 1874, when the family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. There, in 1879, she married Joseph Solomon BURPEE.
Joseph BURPEE was born in Ohio in October 1832 [180]. I haven't determined for certain his birth location, or his parents' names. He may have been in Michigan in 1849, when a Joseph S. BURPEE claimed 80 acres of land there, and he reportedly was in California ca 1849 [106]. By 1854 he was in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon [107]. He was a carpenter and cabinet maker, and had a furniture store in Jacksonville with David LINN. About 1859, he married Irene Jane SPICER, probably in Jacksonville.
Irene SPICER, the daughter of Isaac G. and Cornelia (VANDERCOOK?) SPICER, was born ca 1842 in Ohio, probably in Erie County where she was living with her family in 1850 [108, 112]. She apparently came to Oregon Territory some time in the late 1850s with her brothers Lester and Charles SPICER, and were living in Jacksonville at the time of her marriage to Joseph BURPEE [113].
Joseph and Irene lived in Jacksonville until at least 1863 [107], but by June 1870 were in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri, where Joseph was working as a cabinet maker [109]. In 1873, they moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California, where Joseph worked as a building contractor until his retirement in 1906 [114]. Irene died in Oakland in 1878 (9 August?) [110]. A year later (14 August 1879?), Joseph BURPEE and Josephine CRANE were married in Oakland.
Joseph died in Oakland 21 April 1916. After his death, Josephine lived with the family of their daughter, Florence (BURPEE) MORRISH, in Berkeley, Alameda County, California [83, 84]. She died 21 October 1931.
Joseph S. BURPEE and Irene J. SPICER reportedly had three children:
55. Lester G. BURPEE (4 September 1860 - 29 October 1915)
56. Cora J. BURPEE (29 May 1863 - 19 November 1865)
57. Charles S. BURPEE (24 December 1864 - 8 August 1867)
Joseph S. BURPEE and Josephine CRANE had two children:
58. Walter J. BURPEE (13 June 1880 - 18 December 1968)
59. Florence J. BURPEE (23 June 1883 - 2 January 1967)

23. Alice CRANE [Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1]was born 1 October 1854 at Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. . Late in 1856 or early in 1857, she moved with her family to Clark County, Missouri. She continued to live in her parents' household in Missouri until ca 1874, when the family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. She married ca 1875 Cary McClelland FULTON, probably in Oakland.
Cary FULTON, the son of Samuel FULTON and Louellen McCLELLAND, was born 16 April 1843, probably in Richland County, Ohio. He moved with his parents to Clarksville, Greene County ca 1848, and worked on his father's farm until 4 September 1862 [115, 116, 117]. He then enlisted as a corporal in Company A, 140th Pennsylvania Infantry, and served in the Union Army until mustered out at Washington, D. C. on 31 May 1865 [118]. After his military service, he returned to the Greene County farm until some time after 1870 [119]. I haven't been able to determine when he moved to California.
The Fultons lived in Oakland, and Cary was employed first "in mining" [79] and later as a clerk for the Southern Pacific Railroad [111]. He died in Oakland 21 January 1916. Alice lived in Oakland with her daughter Eva FULTON at least until 1920 [189], later moving in with the family of her other daughter Edith (FULTON) DODGE in nearby Piedmont, Alameda County [121]. Alice died 12 October 1949.
Alice CRANE and Cary FULTON had two children:
60. Edith FULTON (23 September 1877 - 10 October 1961)
61. Eva Alberta FULTON (22 October 1881 - 26 June 1955)

24. George Ward BRADFORD
[John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of John H. BRADFORD and Caroline WARD, was born 23 May 1846, in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. His family lived at Newark until early in 1850, then moved with the family of his aunt, Sarah Theresa (BRADFORD) CRANE, to near Morgantown, Monongalia County, (now, West) Virginia [17]. They lived in West Virginia only a year or so, then moved west. They were in Nebraska Territory in June 1852 (brother born) and in California by October 1854 (sister born). They were living at Cascade City, Butte County, California, in June 1860, where George's father was mining [24]. They had moved south to Solano County, California, by August 1870, and farmed there [25]. By 1875 they were at Orland, Colusa County, California, where George married Ellen MARTIN [122].
Ellen, the daughter of William D. MARTIN and Minerva LOYD, was born ca 1857 in Arkansas. Her family had moved to Kimshew, Butte County, California, by July 1860. Apparently, both parents died before August 1870, and Ellen and her siblings moved to be with relatives at Princeton, Colusa County, California [122].
George and Ellen lived at Orland, Colusa County, California, where they were living in June 1880, with George employed as a teamster [26]. Sometime between 1880 and 1900, they divorced. I have not been able to trace Ellen after 1880 [122]. In June 1900, George was at Arbuckle, Colusa County, California, working on the farm of William and Anna Moore [28]. He had moved to Upper Lake, Lake County, California, by ca 1903, where he married 2nd Sarah Emily (RANTZ) ADAMS, widow of Lorenzo T. ADAMS, who died in Lake County January 1900.
Sarah, the daughter of Daniel RANTZ and Mary J. KIPP, was born in December 1849 in Pleasant Township, Wabash County, Indiana [123]. She married 1st Lorenzo T. ADAMS ca 1867, and they lived in Wisconsin before moving to El Dorado County, California, by 1870 [124]. They moved to Lake County, California, sometime between 1880 and Lorenzo'd death in January 1900 [125]. They had 10 children, 6 of who were alive in June 1900 [126].
George and Sarah were living in Upper Lake, Lake County, in May 1910 [127]. Sarah died 15 June 1910, and before January 1920, George married 3rd Effie Kate (McMATH) ALLEN [128]. Effie, daughter of Cyrus McMATH and Melissa HAZEN, was born 17 March 1859 probably in Marysville, Yuba County, California, where her family was living in July 1860 [129, 130]. She married Spencer ALLEN, son of John ALLEN and Polly WILLIAMS, ca 1878, probably in Lake County. They were living in Cloverdale, Sonoma County, California, in June 1880, but by June 1900 were again living in Lake County [126, 131]. Spencer died there 25 December 1907 and is buried at the Upper Lake Cemetery [129]. John and Effie had 8 children, 7 of them alive in April 1910.
George and Effie lived at Upper Lake until Effie died 10 February 1926. She was buried in the Upper Lake Cemetery [129]. In April 1930 census, George was recorded twice in Stanislaus County, California, in the homes of his step-sons Ernest G. ALLEN (Patterson, California) and Guy H. ALLEN (Modesto, California). George reportedly died 13 August 1940 at Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, but I have not yet confirmed that.

George BRADFORD and Ellen MARTIN had three children:
62. Louis Martin BRADFORD (8 November 1875-26 December 1949)
63. John David BRADFORD (20 January 1877-8 January 1955)
64. Delbert Lorenzo BRADFORD (12 March 1879-14 February 1941)

NOTE: In George Bradford's household in May 1910, there was an Irene BRADFORD, adopted daughter. She was born in California ca 1901, of parents born in Missouri. I have found no additional information about her.

25. Caroline Elizabeth BRADFORD
[John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 10 March 1850 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. Her family lived at Newark until early in 1850, then moved with the family of his aunt, Sarah Theresa (BRADFORD) CRANE, to near Morgantown, Monongalia County, (now, West) Virginia [17]. They lived in West Virginia only a year or so, then moved west. They were in Nebraska Territory in June 1852 (brother born) and in California by October 1854 (sister born). They were living at Cascade City, Butte County, California, in June 1860, where George's father was mining [24]. They had moved south to the Vacaville area, Solano County, California, before 1870 [25], where she undoubtedly met Charles Benjamin HIGH, who she married at Capay, Yolo County, California, on 22 February 1870 [132].
Charles HIGH, the son of Govan HIGH and Mary Jane LINCOLN, was born 8 August 1846 near Litchfield, Montgomery or Macoupin county, Illinois, Except from 1857 to 1860, when his family lived in Missouri, he spent his childhood near Litchfield. From 11 July 1862 to 29 October 1862, he served in the Union Army in Company G, 71st Illinois Infantry, being detailed to Kentucky and Tennessee [132, 133]. In 1863, the High family went by wagon train to California, settling at Vacaville, Solano County. Charles once again enlisted, serving along the California-Arizona border in Company F, 7th California Infantry, from 29 November 1864 to 29 November 1865 [132, 133].
By 1870, the High family had relocated from Vacaville to the Capay area of Yolo County, California [134], where newly-married Caroline and Charles were living in August 1870 [135]. They lived in the Capay-Dunnigan area until 1873, then moved to Princeton, Colusa County, where they lived until about 1877 [dates of birth of children]. By June 1880, Charles and Caroline were living in Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon, along with Charles' parents and most of his siblings [136]. Charles' parents lived at Ashland until ca 1904, but sometime between 1881 and 1900, Charles and Caroline had relocated to the Dorris area, Siskiyou County, California. They lived in the area until sometime in the 1920s [137, 138, 139]. They eventually moved to Yreka, Siskiyou County, California, to live with the family of their daughter Daisy [HIGH] BRAY [140]. Caroline reportedly died there 9 April 1933, and Charles on 8 March 1940 [132].

Charles HIGH and Caroline BRADFORD had six children:
65. Marion Govan HIGH (13 February 1871-20 December 1952)
66. May Caroline HIGH (17 March 1873-1880)
67. Lewis Hamilton HIGH (25 March 1874-22 June 1959)
68. Charles Francis HIGH (7 June 1875- )
69. Jesse Leroy HIGH (27 May 1877-14 January 1937)
70. Daisy Annie HIGH (29 November 1881- )

26. Lewis Renton BRADFORD
[John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 3 June 1852
in Nebraska Territory, as his family was traveling west to California. They were in California by October 1854 (sister born), and were living at Cascade City, Butte County, California in June 1860 [24]. They moved south to the Vacaville area, Solano County, California, before 1870 [25]. I have been unable to trace him from 1870 until ca 1898, when he married Dora A. _____, probably in San Diego County, California [141].
Dora was born December 1855 in Illinois; her father reportedly was born in Illinois, and her mother in Ohio. This was apparently her second marriage, and she may have had one child who had died by 1900 [141, 142].
Lewis and Dora were in Encinitas, San Diego County, California in June 1900, working as servants in the home of L. and Mary McKnight [141]. By1910 they were living in Miramonte, Los Angeles County, California, with Lewis employed as a house carpenter [142]. They were still in Miramonte in 1920, where Lewis was employed as a school janitor [143]. Dora died before April 1930, at which time Lewis was living at El Cajon, San Diego County, California [144]. He died in San Diego County 29 April 1941 [145].

Lewis and Dora BRADFORD did not have any children.

27. Josephine Harrison BRADFORD
[John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was reportedly [146] born 29 October 1854
in California, possibly Butte County. She was living with her parents at Cascade City, Butte County, in June 1860, age 5 [24], and had moved with them to Vallejo, Solano County, California, before August 1870 [25]. I haven't found any positive records of her after 1870, but she reportedly married Valette MACKIN in March 1871, and died 22 March 1877 [146].

28. Walter Cobb BRADFORD
[John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 15 May 1856 in California, probably at Cascade City, Butte County, where his family was living June 1860 [24]. He had moved with his family to Vacaville, Solano County, California, before August 1870 [25], and was in Orland, Colusa County, California in June 1880, working as a carpenter on the farm of Joseph Bondurant [26]. He was in Arbuckle, Colusa County, California, in June 1900 [28] and in Imperial Beach, San Diego County, California in December 1909 [29].
He was in San Diego, San Diego County, California, in January 1920 [147]. I can't locate him after 1920, and I have found an undocumented death date of 19 July 1926, location unknown.
Walter BRADFORD did not marry.

29. Jessie Eliza BRADFORD
[John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 14 November 1860
at Cascade City, Butte County, California [1, 24]. She moved with her family to Vacaville, Solano County, California, before August 1870 [25]. Her family had moved to Orland, Colusa County, by June 1880; she was not enumerated in the census there, but was probably the "J. BRADFORD" serving as a cook on the GREYES farm in nearby Tehama County [148]. About 1882, she married Wallace BASHORE, probably at Orland, California.
Wallace BASHORE, son of Connell B. BASHORE and (probably) Susannah WALLACE, was born ca 1857 in Missouri, probably at Palmyra, Marion County [149]. His father reportedly died 7 July 1862 (undocumented internet source), and I haven't located his mother or sister after that date. Wallace may have been with his uncle Forman BASHORE at Spring Valley, Colusa County, California, in June 1870; if so, the census taker got Wallace's age wrong by about 8 years [150]. By June 1880 he was at Orland, Colusa County, California, working as a laborer for Thomas Criston [26].
I don't know how many years the Bashores stayed in Colusa County. By June 1900 they were at Oceanside, San Diego County, California [151], and by December 1909 they were living in San Diego, where Wallace was a real estate salesman [29, 152]. They apparently lived in San Diego the rest of their lives [147, 153]. Jessie died there 2 January 1943; Wallace may have died before 1940, as he is not included in the California State death index, which began recording in 1940 [145].

Wallace BASHORE and Jessie BRADFORD had five children:
71. BASHORE child (ca 1884-before 1900)
72. Emily BASHORE (ca 1887- )
73. Ethel A. BASHORE (ca 1889- )
74. Connell Bert BASHORE (ca 1889-7 February 1910)
75. George Arthur BASHORE (3 January 1897-7 April 1978)

30. William David BRADFORD
[John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1] was born 8 October 1864, at Cascade City, Butte County, California. Before 1870, he had moved with his family to Vacaville, Solano County, California [25], and by June 1880 was with them at Orland, Colusa County, California [26]. He apparently lived in Colusa County the next 20 years, marrying there ca 1900 Emma WOHLFROM [28].
Emma, the daughter of Joseph WOHLFROM and Margaret STEWART [156], was born October 1871 in California, possibly at Spring Valley, Colusa County. She was living with her family in Spring Valley in June 1880 [154]; by June 1900 they were living in College City, Colusa County, California [155].
William and Emma lived at Arbuckle, where William was a blacksmith [28, 157]. Emma died there in 1912. She was buried in the IOOF cemetery at Arbuckle. By 1918 he had married 2nd Maria Henrietta KRAFT, whose family lived next to his in Arbuckle [157, 158. Maria (Mary, in some censuses), daughter of Julius KRAFT and Augusta KLOEPPEL, was born in California (probably Colusa County) 30 January 1892 [145].
William and Maria lived and farmed at Arbuckle at least until 1940 [158, 242], and probably until William died there 27 January 1944. Maria lived to 10 September 1970, dying in San Jose, Santa Clara County, California [145]. She probably went there to live with her son Lowell Bradford after William's death. Both William and Maria are buried in the IOOF cemetery at Arbuckle.

William BRADFORD and Emma WOHLFROM had three children:
76. Wilmer Wohlfrom BRADFORD (1 December 1900-13 December 2003)
77. Thelma BRADFORD (9 October 1906-25 February 1989)
78. Francis H. BRADFORD (7 November 1908-8 November 2005)

William BRADFORD and Maria KRAFT had one child:
79. Lowell William BRADFORD (30 August 1918-12 April 2007)

GENERATION 5

31. Frank R. BARNES [Orleanna RENTON-4, Elizabeth BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Francis BARNES and Orleanna RENTON, was born June 1860 in Clark County, Missouri. Within a few years of his birth, his family left Missouri for Wisconsin (probably Wauwautosa, Milwaukee County), where they from at least 1864 to 1868 (brothers born there. By August 1870 they had moved to Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, where the family farmed [14]. By June 1880 they had moved again, and were living at Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska, where they once again farmed [15]. Frank's father died at Kearney in 1881, the last date I can find for the family for 19 years.
Frank Barnes was at Spokane, Spokane County, Washington, from at least June 1900 to April 1910. He was unmarried, and worked as a printer [159, 160]. I have found no records of him after that date.

32. Charles C. BARNES [Orleanna RENTON-4, Elizabeth BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Francis BARNES and Orleanna RENTON, was born ca 1864 in Wisconsin, probably Milwaukee County. By August 1870 the family had moved to Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, where they farmed [14]. By June 1880 they had moved again, and were living at Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska, where they once again farmed [15]. Charles died 10 July 1880 (I don't know the cause), and was buried in the Kearney Cemetery [35].

33. George BARNES [Orleanna RENTON-4, Elizabeth BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Francis BARNES and Orleanna RENTON, was born ca 1867 in Wisconsin, probably Milwaukee County. By August 1870 the family had moved to Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, where they farmed [14]. By June 1880 they had moved again, and were living at Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska, where they once again farmed [15]. I haven't found any records of George after 1880.

34. Cora BARNES [Angelina CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of David BARNES and Angelia CRANE, was born ca 1862 at Wauwautosa, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. She was alive at least until 1880 at Wauwautosa [39, 40]. I can find no records of her after that date. Only one of David and Angelina (CRANE) BARNES' children was alive in June 1900 [37], but I don't know which one. Cora may have died before 1900, or she may have married and not yet identifiable to me.

35. Julia Adelaide BARNES [Angelina CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of David BARNES and Angelia CRANE, was born ca 1864 at Wauwautosa, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. She died 8 October 1889 [41]. I have no additional information about her.

36. Orleanna BARNES [Angelina CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of David BARNES and Angelia CRANE, was born ca 1873 at Wauwautosa, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. She was alive at least until 1880 at Wauwautosa [39, 40]. I have found no additional information on her. Only one of David and Angelina (CRANE) BARNES' children was alive in June 1900 [37], but I don't know which one. Orleanna may have died before 1900, or she may have married and not yet identifiable to me.

37. Charles BARNES [Angelina CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of David BARNES and Angelia CRANE, was born ca 1875 at Wauwautosa, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. He was alive at least until 1880 at Wauwautosa [39, 40]. I have found no additional information on him. Only one of David and Angelina (CRANE) BARNES' children was alive in June 1900 [37], but I don't know which one.

38. Sue CRANE [William B. CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of William Bradford CRANE and Mary WILLIAMS, was born ca 1859, likely at either Independence, Jackson County, or St. Louis, St. Louis County. She died in 1861 at Pilot Knob, Iron County, Missouri [51].

39. Mary Louise CRANE [William B. CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of William Bradford CRANE and Mary WILLIAMS, was born 5 August 1861 at Pilot Knob, Iron County, Missouri. At the death of her mother, she moved with her father almost immediately to Canton, Lewis County, Missouri [51]. When he left for Montana in June 1862, Mary was left in the care of her maternal grandmother, Louisa (CECIL) (WILLIAMS) STAPLES, and her mother's sister Ella (WILLIAMS) CLUSKY [161]. Some time after 1870, she began making trips to the West to stay with her father and step-mother, William B. and Alice Jane (McCULLY) CRANE. While on the Pacific coast, she lived in San Francisco and Oakland, California, and Salem, Oregon (and perhaps at some of his other mining locations), but still spent part of her time in Missouri until at least 1876. Apparently, she didn't move West permanently until ca 1877.
On a visit to Salem, Marion County, Oregon ca 1875, she first met Samuel W. CHURCH, who lived near Mary's grandfather, Asa A. McCULLY, and whose father was a business associate of her grandfather [162]. She married him in San Francisco, San Francisco County, California, 27 March 1881.
Samuel W. CHURCH was born 13 February 1857 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. He was the son of Stephen T. CHURCH and Elizabeth LISTER. His family moved to Salem, Marion County, Oregon before June 1870 [163, 164]. After their marriage, the couple lived in Salem until ca 1883, when they moved to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon [167]. There he was a partner in a company making woven wire mattresses, first Church & Durkee, and then Thomas K. Abbott and Samuel W. Church [165].
Samuel CHURCH died in Portland 26 November 1901, of a rare heart malfunction. He was buried in the Riverview Cemetery [166]. Mary continued to live in Portland with their two daughters, finally dying there 28 September 1949. She was buried at Riverview Cemetery, as well [167].
Mary CRANE and Samuel CHURCH had three children:
80. CHURCH child (ca 1883- )
81. Ruth M. CHURCH (ca 1885- )
82. Genevieve L. CHURCH (5 April 1886 -1967)

40. Clarence CRANE [William B. CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of William Bradford CRANE and Alice McCULLY, was born 28 November 1871 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon [168]. He spent most of his childhood in Salem and in Oakland, Alameda County, California, but also lived at times in Virginia City, Storey County, Nevada; Copper City, Shasta County, California; and possibly Baker County, Oregon [130, 131, 132]. His father died in 1879, and by ca 1885 he had moved with his mother and siblings from Salem to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. He reportedly attended grammar school but not high school, needing to help support the family by working in a dry goods store and a men's clothing store.
About 1895, Clarence moved to Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and was accepted into the Boston University School of Medicine. To pay his way, he sold insurance for Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, among other jobs. He graduated with his Medical Doctorate in 1900 [169]. On 18 June 1900 in Boston, he married another School of Medicine graduate, Stella Spaulding HOWARD.
Stella HOWARD was born 25 August 1874 in Boston, the daughter of Daniel HOWARD and Georgianna WEATHERBEE. She attended Boston schools, and in 1894 graduated from the Girls' Latin School (now, Boston Latin Academy). She attended Dana Hall School, and also Wellesley College for one year, then enrolled in Boston University School of Medicine, from which she graduated with her Medical Doctorate in 1900, in the same class with Clarence CRANE [169].
After their graduation and marriage, Clarence and Stella lived in Boston, and both practiced medicine there. About 1902, Clarence was named superintendent of the Burrage Hospital for Crippled Children, established on Bumpkin Island in Boston Harbor [170]. He also served as first assistant surgeon at Massachusetts Homeopathic Hospital, was a physiology instructor at Boston University School of Medicine, and acted as medical examiner for the Boston Mutual Life Insurance Company [169]. Some time after 1910, the family bought a farm at Dennisport, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Stella gave up active medical practice at that time and lived with the family at the farm, while Clarence maintained his medical practices in Boston. They later moved to the Howard family farm at Dover (Pigan Hill, Natick area), Middlesex County, Massachusetts, where they lived until 1930 [171, 172].
The family left Massachusetts in 1930 and moved to Fernbridge, Humboldt County, California. There, Clarence practiced medicine for a few years with Dr. H. W. Comfort, and served as first president of the Humboldt County Tuberculosis Association. He had retired from medical practice when he died in Fernbridge 13 April 1942 [173]. Stella continued to live in Fernbridge until 1948, when she moved to nearby Ferndale, Humboldt County, California, where she died 18 November 1968 [174]. Both Clarence and Stella are buried at the Pioneer Cemetery at Salem, Marion County, Oregon.

Clarence CRANE and Stella HOWARD six children:
83. Calista CRANE (28 April 1902 - 16 March 1993)
84. William Bradford CRANE (28 April 1904 - 20 January 1981)
85. Ethel Louise CRANE (ca 1906- )
86. Clarence CRANE Jr. (20 May 1916- 10 May 1997)
87. George Gordon CRANE (1918- )
88. Living CRANE (1919-)

41. Ethel Linnie CRANE [William B. CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of William Bradford CRANE and Alice McCULLY, was born 29 May 1874 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon. She spent most of her childhood in Salem and in Oakland, Alameda County, California, but also lived at times in Virginia City, Storey County, Nevada; Copper City, Shasta County, California; and possibly Baker County, Oregon [58, 59, 60]. Her father died in 1879, and by ca 1885 she had moved with her mother and siblings from Salem to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. In Portland 11 September 1895, she married Percy Pope DABNEY.
Percy, the son of William Pope DABNEY and Leila MADISON, was born 25 November 1866 at Jefferson (Spencer Township), Powhatan County, Virginia. He attended public schools in Virginia until he was sixteen, then was privately tutored in law by his father, county judge for Powhatan and Cumberland counties. In 1887, he took a summer course in law at the University of Virginia, and in 1888 was admitted to the Virginia bar. He came west to Oregon in 1890, and was admitted to the Oregon bar in 1892 [175].
Ethel and Percy lived in Portland, Oregon, for 30 years, where Percy continued in the legal profession. He was never in general legal practice, but specialized in land title law, most of the time with the firm of Wood, Montague, Matthiesson and Rankin [176]. In 1926 the family moved to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County, California, where Percy continued in the legal profession. He died in Beverly Hills 18 March 1935. Some time after that, Ethel moved to Seattle, Kings County, Washington, to live with the family of her daughter, Alice M. (DABNEY) MOORES. She died there 15 May 1966. Both were buried at the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem, Marion County, Oregon.

Ethel CRANE and Percy DABNEY had one child:
89. Alice Madison DABNEY (29 October 1896-10 June 1977)

42. William Bradford CRANE Jr [William B. CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of William Bradford CRANE and Alice McCULLY, was born 29 June 1879 at Salem, Marion County, Oregon. His father had died two months before William was born, and by ca 1885 he had moved with his mother and siblings from Salem to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. He attended public schools in Portland, then ca 1900 he went to Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, where he stayed two years. He returned to Portland in 1902, and established W. B. Crane and Company, suppliers of equipment for the manufacturing of carbonated beverages. The company eventually established branch offices in Seattle, Washington (1922), and in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California (1926) [177].
In Portland 7 June 1905, William married Lillian LEWIS. Lillian, the daughter of Harry Romeo LEWIS and Mary A. FELCH, was born 24 June 1882 in Oregon (probably Portland). At the time of their marriage, she was working as a bookkeeper; I haven't learned anything else about her early life.
About 1929, the family moved to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County, California, where William continued with his beverage supply business. They apparently lived there the rest of their lives, with William dying there 25 June 1967, followed by Lillian 18 November 1968. Both are buried at the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem, Marion County, Oregon.

William CRANE and Lillian LEWIS had three children
90. Walton Bradford CRANE (12 March 1906- 2 October 1986)
91. Ethel Lewis CRANE (11 November 1907-27 November 1965)
92. William Bradford CRANE (30 April 1915- 9 January 1974)

43. Emma CRANE [James E. CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of James Elbert CRANE and Ruth GOODWIN, was born August 1862 at Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa. She likely lived for a year in Lewis County, Missouri, before returning to Keokuk, where her mother died 25 November 1864 [64, 73]. Probably she lived with her grandmother Ruth (NEGLEY) GOODWIN in Keokuk until her father remarried in 1869, but it's possible she spent these years with her father's family in Clark County, Missouri. By July 1870 she was living with her father, brother, and stepmother Ariel (NORRIS) CRANE, in Fayette, Howard County, Missouri [71]. They were in Missouri (but perhaps not always in Fayette) until 1874, when the family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California [1].
About 1883, Emma married Edward W. THURMAN, probably in Oakland. Edward was born in Indiana in September 1859; I haven't discovered his parents' names [178], and I haven't identified them or Edward in any census prior to 1900. The couple was living in San Francisco in 1900, where Edward was employed as a machinest. In 1910, they lived in Eden, Alameda County, California, where Edward worked in a planing mill. By January 1920 they were back in San Francisco, and Edward was still a woodworker in a planing mill. Both died before 1930, Emma on 7 May 1924 and Edward 11 November (1920?).

Emma CRANE and Edward THURMAN had five children:
93. THURMAN child (ca 1884-before 1900)
94. THURMAN child (ca 1886-before 1900)

44. George E. CRANE [James E. CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of James Elbert CRANE and Ruth GOODWIN, was born 14 September 1864 in Lewis County, Missouri. Probably he lived with his grandmother Ruth (NEGLEY) GOODWIN in Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa, from November 1864, when his mother died, until his father remarried in 1869 [64, 73]. However, it's possible he spent these years with his father's family in Clark County, Missouri. By July 1870 he was living with his father, sister, and stepmother Ariel (NORRIS) CRANE, in Fayette, Howard County, Missouri [71]. They were in Missouri (but perhaps not always in Fayette) until 1874, when the family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California [1].
George graduated from Oakland High School, then worked for three years as a clerk for the Southern Pacific Railroad. He moved to Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, where he sold real estate [1]. On 16 February 1899, at Stockton, San Joaquin County, California, he married Harriet M. KAPP. Harriet was born in California 4 September 1876, the daughter of James F. KAPP and Frances Alice SMITH.
The couple lived in Stockton, California, their entire married life. George continued as a real estate agent. He died 12 June 1942, and she died 27 December 1964. I don't know where they were buried.

George CRANE and Harriet KAPP had three children:
98. Alice Marion CRANE (28 December 1905- 23 January 1985)
99. George E. CRANE Jr. (16 December 1908-)
100. Harriet Ethel CRANE (29 May 1911-1 October 1997)

45. Julia Irene CRANE [James E. CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of James Elbert CRANE and Ariel NORRIS, was born 1 April 1871 in Missouri (probably Howard or Marion county). She moved with her family ca 1874 to Oakland, Alameda County, California, where she spent her childhood years. Her education included attending Field's Academy [1]. About 1891, she married (location undetermined) Fisher C. WORLEY, the son of Henry H. WORLEY and Amelia CALMESE (?). He was born January 1868 in Colusa County, California.
After their marriage, they farmed at Arbuckle, Colusa County, California until at least June 1900 [28]. They were farming at Woodland, Yolo County, California in April 1910 [179], and at Silveyville, Solano County, California, in February 1920 [180]. Fisher died 11 March 1926 (location undetermined), and in April 1930 Julia was living in San Francisco, California, with the family of her daughter, Wanda (WORLEY) MAHAN [181]. She died in San Francisco 10 January 1940.

CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of James Elbert CRANE and Ariel NORRIS, was born June 1878 in Oakland, Alameda County, California, where he attended public schools [1]. I have found little information about him. In June 1900, he was working as a farm laborer for his brother, Fisher WORLEY, at Arbuckle, Colusa County, California [28]. About 1929 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, he married Violet _____. Violet was born ca 1907 in Indiana. It was the first marriage for both. In Chicago in 1930, Arthur was working as an auto mechanic [182].

Arthur and Violet (___) CRANE had one known child:

47. George Bradford SCHOONOVER [Evanna CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Thomas SCHOONOVER and Evanna CRANE, was born 3 June 1861 Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri. He lived in Clark County until ca 1874, when his family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until some time after 1880 [79], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta County, California. On 11 October 1888 in Shasta County, George married Margaret Lavina ELLIOTT. Margaret was born in Illinois 8 February 1865; I have not identified her parents [183].
George and Margaret lived in the mountains of Shasta County in various communities (Copper City, Kennett, Mable, Antler, Middlefork) until after January 1920 [77, 186, 187]. George was employed as a mill wright in a lumber mill. By April 1930, they were living at Squaw Valley, Siskiyou County, with George employed in a lumber mill [188]. I have no specific information on their movements after 1930, but Margaret reportedly died in Sacramento County, California, 15 December 1942, and George died in Kings County, California, 16 January 1944 [145].

George SCHOONOVER and Margaret ELLIOTT had three children:
105. Howard Elliott SCHOONOVER (29 August 1890- 15 November 1948)
106. Helen A. SCHOONOVER (13 October 1895- 11 October 1962)
107. Eva M. SCHOONOVER (28 August 1907 -)

48. Charles Edward SCHOONOVER [Evanna CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Thomas SCHOONOVER and Evanna CRANE, was born January 1865 in Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri. He lived in Clark County until ca 1874, when his family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until some time after 1880 [79], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta County, California. Charles lived at Mabel, Shasta County, from at least 1892 to 1896, where he was a stockman [184, 185]. In 1900 he was with his parents at Kennett, Shasta County, where he was described as a telegraph operator, probably for the railroad [77].
About 1902 Charles married Mame ________, at an undermined location. Mame was reportedly born in Illinois ca 1866. This was apparently her second marriage [189]. I haven't been able to locate the couple from their marriage until January 1920, when they were living at Colfax, Placer County, California, where Charles worked as a telegraph operator for the railroad [190]. They were still in Colfax in April 1930 [189]. Charles died 12 May 1935 [145]. I haven't found any additional information on Mame.
I've found no indication that Charles and Mame had any children, or that she had children from a previous marriage.

49. Frances Josephine SCHOONOVER [Evanna CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of Thomas SCHOONOVER and Evanna CRANE, was born 2 November 1868 in Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri. "Fannie" lived in Clark County until ca 1874, when her family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until some time after 1880 [79], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta County, California. She was living in one of the small communities in the Shasta County mountains (Copper City, Kennett, or Mable) when on 8 January 1891 she married Frank ARNOLD.
Frank was born May 1862 in California [111], but I have found no definite information about his origins. Likely, he was the Frank ARNOLD who in 1880 was employed as a printer in Scotts Valley, Siskiyou County, California [191].
In June 1880 Fannie and Frank were living in Oakland, Alameda County, California, where Frank was employed as a railroad postal clerk [111]. By April 1910, they had moved to Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California, where Frank was the local mail manager for the railroad [82]. In October 1920 they were in Berkeley, Alameda County, California, with Frank still working with the railroad as mail clerk [83]. Frank died some time between October 1920 and April 1930, when Fannie was recorded as a widow living in Berkeley [84]. She died in Alameda County, California (probably Berkeley) 16 September 1958 [145].

Frances SCHOONOVER and Frank ARNOLD had two children:
108. Geraldine M. ARNOLD (November 1892-)
109. Muriel M. ARNOLD (11 October 1898-7 December 1979)

50. James William SCHOONOVER [Evanna CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Thomas SCHOONOVER and Evanna CRANE, was born 6 September 1871 in Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri. "Will" lived in Clark County until ca 1874, when his family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until some time after 1880 [79], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta County, California. Will was in Shasta County at various locations at least until 1912: Redding 1892-1894; Kennett 1894-1896; Taylor 1898; Big Bend-Burney Valley 1900; Winthrop 1904; Shasta River Arm 1910; Redding 1912. He worked as a clerk or bookkeeper during those years [77, 184, 185, 192].
On 20 October 1900 Will married Nellie B. GARRECHT. Nellie, the daughter of Lorenz GARRECHT and Amalie PREHN, was born in Shasta County ca 1881. As noted already, the lived in Shasta County at various locations until at least 1912. By January 1920 they were living at Alameda, Alameda County, California [193].
Nellie reportedly died 19 December 1925, location so far undetermined [145]. I have an incomplete record of Will after that date. He was living in Redding in 1936 [194]. He later moved to Humboldt County, California, where he died 6 November 1957 [145].

Will SCHOONOVER and Nellie GARRECHT reportedly had two children:
110. SCHOONOVER child (born and died between 1901 and 1910)
111. SCHOONOVER child (born and died between 1901 and 1910)

51. Alice E. SCHOONOVER [Evanna CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of Thomas SCHOONOVER and Evanna CRANE, was born September 1873 in Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri. She lived in Clark County until ca 1874, when her family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until some time after 1880 [79], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta County, California. She was living in the Shasta County mountains with her parents, unmarried, at least as late as June 1900 [77]. I have found no records of her after that date.

52. Raymond Elmer CRANE [Charles CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Charles CRANE and Sarah MERRITT, was born 11 August 1881 in Oakland, Alameda County, California. He spent his early years in Oakland, living with his family until after June 1900 [111]. In February 1904 in Oakland, he and his cousin, Oscar Jerome BACKUS, founded Eljer Inc., originally to produce flush valves for toilets and later to produce toilets and other toilet fixtures [195].
About 1906, Raymond married Ellen A. FEARN. Ellen, daughter of John and Sarah J. (___) FEARN, was born in California in December 1880 [281]. The family moved a number of times, presumably in response to the development of Eljer, Inc. For example, in 1907 Eljer opened a plant in Cameron, Marshall County, West Virginia [195]. Raymond and Ellen were in Oakland in November 1909 (a son born), but by April 1910 were living in Cameron, West Virginia [197]. They were back in Oakland, California, for at least part of the time February 1911 to April 1915 (sons born 1911, 1913, and 1915). They were living in Cook County, Illinois, in September 1918, but Raymond identified his employer as Eljer in West Virginia (military draft registration). They were in New Trier, Cook County, Illinois January 1920 [198], but by April 1930 had moved to Kittanning, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania [105]. Probably not coincidentally, Eljar had closed down their West Virginia operations in 1929, consolidating their operations at Ford City, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, in a plant they had been using for part of their manufacturing since 1918 [195].
The last definite report I have on either Raymond or Ellen is from 27 April 1942, when Raymond registered for the World War II draft (even though he was 60 years old!). At that time, both were alive, and still residing in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. It has been reported that Raymond died in 1953 [199], but I haven't found details yet.

Raymond CRANE and Ellen FEARN had four children:
112. Raymond Radford CRANE (6 November 1909- before 1911)
113. Raymond Radford CRANE (10 February 1911-May 1981)

She lived with her family in Oakland until ca 1905, when she married Roy Hugh CRAIG. Roy, the son of Hugh and Inez A. (GILCHRIST) CRAIG, was born in Alameda County, California, 23 October 1879.
The couple lived in Piedmont, Alameda County, California, for several years, then moved to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon by April 1910 [210]. Within a year, they had moved to Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, where in 1912 they divorced [200]. Roy CRAIG was granted custody of their one child, and he later remarried. I have found no records of Miriam after October 1912.

Miriam CRANE and Roy CRAIG had one child:
116. Gordon Hugh CRAIG (ca 1906-)

55. Lester G. BURPEE, son of[Joseph BURPEE and Irene SPICER, was born 4 September 1860 in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon. He lived there with his family until the late 1860s, then they moved to Springfield, Greene County, Missouri [109]. By 1873, they had moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California, where Lester attended public schools until 1879. He worked as private secretary to E. C. Sessions, president of the Oakland Bank of Savings, for two years, then bought a fruit ranch in Solano County, California, but sold it in 1883 and returned to Oakland [114].
In January 1882, probably in Oakland, Lester married Mary Isabelle ADAMS. Mary, daughter of Andrew J. and Elizabeth (___) ADAMS, was born in Marion County, Oregon, ca November 1859 [201]. She lived with her family in Oregon until the late 1860s, when they moved to Santa Barbara County, California [202]. By June 1880, they were living in Plano, Tulare County, California [203]. Presumably they moved to Alameda County by 1882, but I have no record of that.
The couple lived in Oakland all their married life, Lester service in a number of clerical and administrative positions, finally becoming vice-president of the First National Bank in 1906 [204]. Lester reportedly died 26 October 1915; I have no information on Mary after 1910.

56. Cora J. BURPEE, daughter of Joseph BURPEE and Irene SPICER, was reportedly born 29 May 1863 in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon, and died there 19 November 1865. I have found no documented evidence of this, so far.

57. Charles S. BURPEE, son of Joseph BURPEE and Irene SPICER, was reportedly born 24 December 1864 in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon, and 8 August 1867 (probably in Jacksonville, although the family was living in Greene County, Missouri, by June 1870 [109]). I have found no documented evidence of this person, so far.

58. Walter Joseph BURPEE [Josephine CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Joseph BURPEE and Josephine CRANE, was born 13 June 1880 in Oakland, Alameda County, California. He lived his entire life in Oakland and nearby Berkeley and Piedmont, Alameda County, California. He was an attorney, including working in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office [83, 85, 111].
Between January 1920 and May 1925, he married Florence Helen GROVER. Helen, daughter of William A. GROVER and Marietta OSBORN, was born 24 July 1882 at Folsom, Sacramento County, California [205]. The family was in Oakland as early as June 1900 [111]. In January 1920, Helen was living with her sister in Berkeley, and working as a clerk in a dry goods store [83].
Helen died in Alameda County (probably Piedmont) 3 March 1968; Walter died later the same year, 18 December 1968). They did not have any children.

60. Edith FULTON [Alice CRANE-4, Theresa BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of Cary FULTON and Alice CRANE, was born 23 September 1877 at Oakland, Alameda County, California. She was living there with her family ca 1907 when she married Clarence Wythe DODGE. Clarence, son of Edward E. DODGE and Mary WYTHE, was born 5 October 1873 at Auburn, Placer County, California. By June 1880 the family had moved to Sutter Creek, Amador County, California [206), and by June 1900 were at Yuba City, Sutter County, California [207]. In the 1900 census, he was also recorded at his grandparents' residence (Joseph H. WYTHE) in Oakland [180], and staying with them may be how he met Edith FULTON.
Clarence DODGE was a physician throughout their married life. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Taft, Kern County, California, and were there at least into 1911 (child born there). They were in Los Angeles, California for several years (children born 1915 and 1917), then returned to Oakland by January 1920 [120], probably to have the family close to relatives while Clarence was in military service overseas at Miesenheim, Germany [208).
By April 1930, the Dodges were living in Piedmont, Alameda County, California. Clarence died there 11 January 1959, and Edith 10 October 1961 [145].

He was living there with his parents in June 1880 [26]. His parents divorced between 1880 and 1900, and I have not located him again until June 1900, when he was living in Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, employed as a railroad brakeman [211]. About 1905, probably in Sacramento, he married Pansy E. SCHROLL.
Pansy SCHROLL, daughter of Henry SCHROLL and Mary A. TAYLOR [215], was born 19 February 1883 [145] in Macon County, Illinois, probably Hickory Point Township where the family was living in 1880 [214]. By June 1900, they were at Decatur, Marion County, Illinois [214]. Pansy's family was still in Illinois in 1910, and I don't know how she or where she met Louis. In any event, they were living in Sacramento in April 1910, where Louis was working as a real estate salesman [212].
By January 1920 the family had moved to Klamath Falls, Klamath County, Oregon, where Louis was once again with the railroad, working as a Southern Pacific conductor [216]. They were still in Klamath Falls in April 1930 [217], but returned sometime after that to Sacramento County, California, where Louis died 26 December 1949, followed by Pansy 10 April 1956 [145].

She and Delbert were living in Sacramento in April 1910, where she was managing a rooming house and he was a salesman in a second-hand store [212]. They divorced, and in January 1920 Delbert was at Princeton, Colusa County, California, working as a tractor engineer [220]. Frankie was in Ventura, Ventura California, working as a housekeeper in a private home [221].
I have found no records of Frances (NEEL) BRADFORD after 1920, or any of Delbert between 1920 and 1940. He died in Shasta County, California, 14 February 1941 [145].

Delbert BRADFORD and Frances NEEL had two children:

His family lived in the Capay-Dunnigan area until 1873, then moved to Princeton, Colusa County, where they lived until about 1877 [dates of birth of siblings]. By June 1880, his grandparents, parents and siblings were all living in Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon [136]. Sometime between 1881 and 1900, his immediate family relocated to the Dorris area, Siskiyou County, California. He lived in the area until at least April 1930, and probably the rest of his life [137, 138, 139, 222]. He worked as a farmer and woodcutter. He never married, and he died 20 December 1952 in Siskiyou County [145].

66. May Caroline HIGH [Caroline BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of Charles HIGH and Caroline BRADFORD, was born 17 March 1873 at Dunnigan, Yolo County, California [132, 145]. ]. Her family lived in the Capay-Dunnigan area until 1873, then moved to Princeton, Colusa County, where they lived until about 1877 [dates of birth of siblings]. The family then moved to Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon. She died in 1880 [132], apparently before June because she was not recorded in the June federal census [136].

67. Lewis Hamilton HIGH [Caroline BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Charles HIGH and Caroline BRADFORD, was born 25 March 1874 at Princeton, Colusa County, California [132, 145]. ]. His family lived at Princeton until about 1877 [dates of birth of siblings]. By June 1880, his grandparents, parents and siblings were all living in Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon [136]. Sometime between 1881 and 1900, his immediate family relocated to the Dorris area, Siskiyou County, California. I could not find him in the 1900 federal census, but he was probably in the area because he married Ivy M. BRAY at Dorris 11 June 1905 [132].
Ivy M. BRAY, daughter of William J. BRAY and Jennie A. BECK, was born 23 October 1881 at Yreka, Siskiyou County, California [132, 145]. Her family had moved from Yreka to the Dorris area before 1900 [137]. Lewis and Ivy lived and farmed at Dorris until at least early 1910 [138], but by January 1920 had relocated to Happy Camp, Siskiyou County [223]. When they first moved to Happy Camp, they were farming, but by 1930 they were operating a public campground and restaurant [224]. I haven't determined how long they stayed in Happy Camp after 1930, but both died somewhere in Siskiyou County, Lewis on 22 June 1959 and Ivy on 21 February 1960 [145].

Lewis HIGH and Ivy BRAY had two children:
130. Genevieve HIGH (17 April 1906-14 July 1996)
131. Helen HIGH (30 January 1909-January 1979)

68. Charles Francis HIGH [Caroline BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Charles HIGH and Caroline BRADFORD, was born 7 June 1875 at Princeton, Colusa County, California [132, 145]. ]. His family lived at Princeton until about 1877 [dates of birth of siblings]. By June 1880, his grandparents, parents and siblings were all living in Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon [136]. Sometime between 1881 and 1900, his immediate family relocated to the Dorris area, Siskiyou County, California.
In his adult life, he almost always used the name Frank Charles HIGH. He lived at Dorris at least through April 1930, where he was a grain farmer [137, 138, 139, 222]. He married 26 November 1903, Julia Christina RODSCHOU. Julia was born in Denmark in 1874. I haven't found out anything about her parents, or when she arrived in the United States.
In April 1930, while Frank was at Dorris, California, Julia had part of the family at Bellview, Jackson County, Oregon, where she was farming [225]. Julia died in Jackson County in 1930, and was buried at the Central Point, Oregon, IOOF cemetery. I can't account for Frank High for the next 36 years, but he also died in Jackson County, Oregon, at Ashland 15 December 1966.

Frank HIGH and Julia RODSCHOU had six children:
132. Eber Francis HIGH (7 November 1905-18 November 1988)
133. Leon J. HIGH (18 December 1906-March 1967)
134. Donald C. HIGH (29 November 1908-)
135. Frances HIGH (15 September 1910-September 1983)
136. Clarice HIGH (26 June 1912-8 October 2003)
137. May C. HIGH (14 September 1913-)

69. Jesse Leroy HIGH [Caroline BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Charles HIGH and Caroline BRADFORD, was born 27 May 1877 at Princeton, Colusa County, California [132]. ]. His family lived at Princeton until about 1877 (Jesse's birth year). By June 1880, his grandparents, parents and siblings were all living in Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon [136]. Sometime after 1881, his immediate family relocated to the Dorris area, Siskiyou County, California. In June 1900 Jesse was employed as a farm laborer in Hot Spring township, Modoc County, California [226], but by May 1910 had returned to the Dorris area.
On 3 June 1912, at Dorris, he married Hazel May WHITE [132]. Hazel, the daughter of Alfred WHITE and Florence _____ [227], was born 12 May 1893 in San Jose, Santa Clara County, California [132, 228]. I haven't been able to locate her or her parents in other censuses, so I don't know where she met Jesse.
Jesse and Hazel had moved from Dorris to Topsy, Klamath County, Oregon, by November 1914 (child born). Topsy was in the mountains west of Klamath Falls, and the Highs raised livestock there. They lived there the rest of their lives [229, 230], with Hazel dying there 27 October 1926 [231]. Jesse died at the Hillside Hospital, Klamath Falls, 14 January 1937 [132, 231].

Jesse HIGH and Hazel WHITE had three children:
138. Florence C. HIGH (12 October 1913-)
139. Jesse Albert HIGH (17 November 1914-12 November 1966)
140. Elinor Daisy HIGH (12 May 1916-)

70. Daisy Annie HIGH [Caroline BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of Charles HIGH and Caroline BRADFORD, was born 29 November 1881 at Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon [132]. Sometime before 1900, her immediate family relocated to the Dorris area, Siskiyou County, California [137]. On 11 June 1905, in Siskiyou County, she married George Knight BRAY. George, son of William J. BRAY and Jennie A. BECK, was born 11 April 1875 at Yreka, Siskiyou County, California. Daisy and George lived at Yreka the rest of the lives, where they were farmers. George died there 25 January 1950 [145]. I haven't found a death record for Daisy. They had no children.

71. BASHORE [Jessie BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1]. In 1910, Jessie (BRADFORD) BASHORE reported that she had given birth to five children, three of them still alive [152]. We can account for four. There is a gap of some three years between the marriage of Jessie Bradford and Wallace Bashore and their first identified child. It is likely that this "missing" child was born ca 1885 and died before the 1900 census. An alternative is that the child was born and died ca 1891, and died by 1900.

72. Emily BASHORE [Jessie BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of Wallace BASHORE and Jessie BRADFORD, was born ca 1886, probably in Colusa County, California. By June 1900 her family had moved to Oceanside, San Diego County [27]. About 1905 she married Ben L. FAIRCHILD. Ben was born ca 1881 in Texas, of parents reportedly born in Texas [232]. I haven't been able to find out anything else about him.
Apparently Ben and Emily lived in Los Angeles County for awhile (daughter born there March 1907), but by 1910 they were back in San Diego County (San Luis Rey), dairy farming [232]. I can find no record of either of them after 1910. Their daughter was enumerated with her grandmother, Jessie BASHORE, in San Diego in the January 1920 census [147]; was she visiting, or had something happened to her parents?

Emily BASHORE and Ben FAIRCHILD had one daughter:
141. Evalyn L. FAIRCHILD (21 March 1907-)

73. Ethel BASHORE [Jessie BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of Jessie BRADFORD and Wallace BASHORE, was born ca 1890, probably in Colusa County, California. By June 1900 her family had moved to Oceanside, San Diego County [27]. In May 1910 she was living at San Luis Rey, San Diego County, where she was a public school teacher. She was single [232]. I have no records of her after that date.

74. Connell Bert BASHORE [Jessie BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Jessie BRADFORD and Wallace BASHORE, was born ca 1890, probably in Colusa County, California. By June 1900 his family had moved to Oceanside, San Diego County [27]. He died 7 February 1910 in San Diego, and was buried at Mt. Hope Cemetery [233].

75. George Arthur BASHORE [Jessie BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of Jessie BRADFORD and Wallace BASHORE, was born 3 January 1897, probably at Oceanside, San Diego County, California, where the family was living in June 1900 [27]. The family moved into San Diego before May 1910 [152]. In San Diego in 1917, he married Juanita DEVOE.
Juanita, daughter of Wilbur DEVOE and Edith _____, was born in Polk County, Oregon, in February 1899 [234]. In April 1910, she was censused in her Devoe grandparents' home in Salem, Marion County, Oregon [235]. I haven't found any information on her parents between 1900 and 1920, but in January 1820 her mother Edith DEVOE was in the home of Juanita's mother-in-law Jessie BASHORE in San Diego. She was widowed at that time [147]. Apparently Juanita moved to San Diego with her mother sometime before 1917.
In January 1920 George and Juanita were at El Centro, Imperial County, California, where George was working as a mechanic in a garage [236]. By April 1930 they were in La Mesa, San Diego County, and George was again employed in an auto repair shop [237]. They were in San Diego County at least through 1933 (son born), then I lose track of them until 1978. George died 7 April 1978 in Riverside County, California [145]. I have found no later records for Juanita.

George BASHORE and Juanita DEVOE had three known children. One is known to b deceased:
142. Clifford Arthur BASHORE (22 May 1918-10 November 1990)
143. BASHORE female.
144. BASHORE male.

76. Wilmer Wohlfrom BRADFORD [William BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of William BRADFORD and Emma WOHLFROM, was born 1 December 1900 near Arbuckle, Colusa County, California [28, 238]. After his mother died in 1912, he and his brother and sister lived with the WOHLFROM family (Emma's sisters and brother) at Arbuckle [158]. Wilmer attended Pierce High School in College City and later attended the California Agricultural College at Davis, California [238]. About 1929 he married Mildred _____, who was born in Oregon ca 1901. I have no information on her family.
Wilmer and Mildred farmed near Zamora, Yolo County, California, and later Wilmer dealt in farm real estate in Yolo and Colusa counties. They later lived in Woodland, Yolo County, where Wilmer died 13 December 2003 [238]. Mildred died there ca 16 August 2006 [239].

Wilmer BRADFORD and Mildred _____ had two children:
145. BRADFORD male
146. BRADFORD male

77. Thelma BRADFORD [William BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], daughter of William BRADFORD and Emma WOHLFROM, was born 9 October 1906 at Arbuckle, Colusa County, California [145]. After her mother died in 1912, she and her brothers lived with the WOHLFROM family (Emma's sisters and brother) at Arbuckle [158]. She married ____ STOTT, probably before 1930. I have no further information about them until Thelma's death 25 February 1989 at Alameda, Alameda County, California [145].

78. Francis H. BRADFORD [William BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of William BRADFORD and Emma WOHLFROM, was born 7 November 1908 at Arbuckle, Colusa County, California [145]. After his mother died in 1912, he and his brother and sister lived with the WOHLFROM family (Emma's sisters and brother) at Arbuckle [158]. He was living with his aunt Clara WOHLFROM in Williams, Colusa County, California, in April 1930 [240]. He married Helen ______, and lived at various times at Berkeley, Alameda County, California, and San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. He died at San Jose 8 November 2005 [238, 241]. I haven't researched their children.

79. Lowell William BRADFORD [William BRADFORD-4, John BRADFORD-3, William BRADFORD-2, BRADFORD-1], son of William BRADFORD and Maria KRAFT, was born 30 August 1918 at Arbuckle, Colusa County, California. He lived with his parents are Arbuckle at least until 1930 [158, 242]. Later, he lived at San Jose, Santa Clara County, Caliornia, where he died 12 April 2007 [241]. I have no information on any marriage or children.

6. Possibly William BRADFORD-2 was the William whose name is mentioned in New York City newspapers in the 1830s. For example, a William Bradford was (a) on the board of directors, Jefferson Insurance Company, Chatham Street corner of Pearl in 1831 (New York Evening Post, 2 December 1831); (b) an administrator of the Franklin Institute, a school for young men, New Rochelle, New York, 1831 (he lived at 72 Maiden Lane; New York Evening Post, 2 December 1831); (c) a hiring agent for Saugerties Paper Mill in August 1836 (New York "Herald," 8 August 1836); (d) on U. S. Circuit Court grand juries in 1833, 1834 and 1836 (New York "Spectator," 10 June 1833; "Spectator," 31 July 1834; "Spectator," 3 March 1836); and (e) a director of the United States Fire Insurance Company, 288 Pearl Street, in 1837 (New York "American," 7 October 1837. There was another William BRADFORD in New York City in 1836, but as he was marrying that year (to Miss Mary COYLE of Patterson, New Jersey; New York "Spectator," 18 July 1836), perhaps he was too young to have been the one.
