21 Sep 2022

Birth*	Joseph was born on 26 December 1842 in Simpson Co., Kentucky.2
Marriage*	He married Alice B. Arbuckle, daughter of Alexander W. Arbuckle and Arabella Torian, before 1866, date based on birthyear of eldest child listed by Find A Grave. The KY Births record is for unnamed male born 1874, very probably son John E Edwards. My preliminary research suggests their children were Susan Elizabeth (1866-1904), Ada (1868- ), Eddie Franklin (1872-1889), John Elbert Sr (1874-1918, m. Lillian L Prescott), and Dr. Claude Welch Edwards (1877-1951, m. Edna Parke). I've found Find A Grave memorials for all but Ada.1,3
Census1870*	Joseph and Alice appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Cadiz, Trigg Co., Kentucky, enumerated 25 August 1870, as 27 yo Joseph E & 21 yo Alis B Edwards. Their children 4 yo Susan E and 1 yo Ader Edwards were listed as living with them. Joseph is a hotel keeper.4

Marriage*	She married Charles G. Arbuckle, son of Alexander W. Arbuckle and Arabella Torian, circa 1873. My preliminary research suggests their children were Ellston (1873-1951, m. Mandie or Maude Hall, m. Grace Fnu with whom he's buried), Ora S (1875-1905, prob. m. J A Donovan), Ima (1877-1905), and C. Walter Arbuckle (c1880-1910). FSTrees claims 18 Feb 1873 without citation.2

Death*	Mary died on 20 August 1904 in Mayfield, Graves Co., Kentucky, at age 50. Trees' date is ca 1895.1
Burial*	She was buried at Liberty Cemetery in Folsomdale, Graves Co., Kentucky. Joint headstone photo w/ daughter Ima available at Find A Grave.1

Note Elvira's surname in CA Marriages is Davis which supports her m2 to Peter. In the 1900 census w/ m3 Charles Knowles she shows 0 born & 0 living, married 32 years.1,3

Richard A. White¹

Last Edited

15 Oct 2022

Birth*	Richard was born in February 1842 in Ireland. Means claims Richard was born 1841 in Indiana but the censuses are consistently Ireland.2,3
Marriage*	He married Margaret Elvira Palmer, daughter of Samuel Palmer and Sarah "Amby" Hanan, on 29 December 1867 in Humboldt Co., California. My preliminary research suggests their children were Mary E (c1871-c1960, perhaps m. Wm B La Mar, divorced by 1930) and Ralph M White (1874-1947). The 1900 census confirms 2 born with 2 living.1,4,5
Census1870*	Richard and Margaret appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Eel River Twp., Humboldt Co., California, enumerated 22 July 1870, as 27 yo Richard & 18 yo Maggie E White. There's a 12 yo Edward Palmer, likely Maggie's brother who is enumerated twice - once as an 11 yo with his parents, once as a 12 yo with his sister. I've got no one else who fits the bill. He's certainly not her uncle b. 1832.6
Census1900	Richard and Margaret appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Walla Walla, Walla Walla Co., Washington, enumerated 7 June 1900, as 57 yo Richard A & 48 yo Maggie E White.2
Census1910	Richard and Margaret appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Walla Walla, Walla Walla Co., Washington, enumerated 16 April 1910, as 67 yo Richard & 58 yo Margret White. Their divorced 39 yo daughter Mary C White was listed as living with them.7
Census1920	Richard and Margaret appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Walla Walla, Walla Walla Co., Washington, enumerated circa 19 January 1920, as 78 yo Richard & 68 yo Margaret White. This enumeration is a mess. It's on a 'Supplement Sheet Filed in Census Office 4/134/20'. Richard & Margaret's lines are scratched out. The explanatory note written in left margin is illegible. There are no family numbers. Richard is HOH and Margaret is wife. There are five lodgers living with them.8
Death*	Richard died in 1921 in Oregon.3

Edwin R. Collins¹

8 Oct 2022

Birth*	Edwin was born. FSTrees (entry for Edwin Rufus Collins (1835-deceased), MQ1C-6FC) claims his middle name was Rufus and born Nov 1835 Ohio, all without citation.
Marriage*	He married Martha Eleanor Palmer, daughter of Samuel Palmer and Sarah "Amby" Hanan, on 4 April 1875 in Rohnerville, Humboldt Co., California. The 1900 census confirms married 25 years with 1 born & 1 living. My preliminary research suggests their only child was Maj. Edwin Rufus Collins (Jr.) His Find A Grave memorial no. is 140677445.2,1
Census1880*	Edwin and Martha appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Crab Creek, Spokane Co., Washington, enumerated circa 19 June 1880, as 39 yo Edwin R & 25 yo Eleanor Collins. Their son 4 yo Edwin R Collins was listed as living with them along with five boarders. Edwin's occupation is butcher.3
Census1900	Edwin and Martha appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Walla Walla, Walla Walla Co., Washington, enumerated 8 June 1900, as 64 yo E R & 43 yo Ellenor Collins. Their son 2 yo E R Collins was listed as living with them.4

Edmond B. McMurtry¹

Last Edited

8 Oct 2022

Birth*	Edmond was born circa 1864 in California. Note FSTrees calls him Edward B McMurtry (1863-1894), born Ireland, with son Amos. This death date doesn't work at all with the 1930 census showing Amos with father Edmond in the house. Two censuses confirm CA/KY,IA for Edmond's and parents' birthstates. Ireland is not in the mix nor does the cited source show Ireland.1
Marriage*	He married Minnie May Palmer, daughter of James Means Palmer and Frances "Fannie" McCoy, on 20 August 1890 in Humboldt Co., California. Given that Edmond is in son Amos' house in the 1930 census it seems safe to say this marriage ended in divorce sometime between 1890-1895.1
CensusLead*	The 1900 census listed a a 36 yo, who may be this person, as head of household at Lagao (now Gen'l Santos City), The Philippines. Edmund McMurtyr.2
Census1930*	Edmond appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Union Twp., Humboldt Co., California, as 65 yo father Edmund B McMurtry in the household of his son 38 yo Amos McMurtry. Edmond again shows CA/KY/IA for the three birthstates.3

Census1900	William and Minnie appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Vanduzen Twp., Humboldt Co., California, enumerated 16 June 1900, as 34 yo William E & 28 yo Minnie M Swan. Edmond's 8 yo step-son (Minnie's son) Amos McMurtry was listed as living with them.3

Birth*	Annie was born in 1882 in Henry Co., Missouri, d/o Oglesby Love Young & Charlotte Virginia Bird.1,3
Marriage*	She married Joe Gray Burcham, son of Joseph B. Burcham and Mary Emily "Mollie" Palmer, on 26 March 1905. My preliminary research suggests their children were Mary Velma (1905-1967, m1 Robert L Gregory, m2 Charles H Brockway), and Robert Lee Burcham (1908-1998). Joe marrying Emma Tayes before Annie's death suggests this marriage ended in divorce.
