Ancestors of Gordon Alan Douglas and Kathleen "Kathy" Louise Brown . . |
When our son Jeremy
married Kara Douglas on 9 June 2006, we knew
this page would soon be forthcoming.
Charity had married Beau, and the Pihlaja page became
part of the tree. Sarah had married Jason, and
off we went with the branch for the Johnsons.
So when Sharon and I went to Albuquerque
for a visit with Jeremy and Kara in
March 2007, who was I to put off the
inevitable? Readers, we are delighted to
present to you our growing Gwin/Douglas connection!

With the move to El Paso, Jeremy stepped down from PB and is teaching math, computer skills, and filmmaking at Mesilla Valley Christian Schools' secondary campus in Las Cruces. --John M. Gwin --

Shenandoah Va., April 2--Mrs. Emma Comer, age 36 years, 6 months, and 26 days, wife of John Louis Comer, died at her home on Third Street at 8;50 a. m., Tuesday, after a brief illness beginning Thursday, March 26. When a physician was called Saturday morning, he found the good woman in a serious condition due to the flu she had several weeks ago. She was born at Honeyville 36 years ago, the daughter of Branch and Maggie Lee Douglas. She is survived by her father and two brothers, James of Shenandoah and Thomas of Ohio. Her father being in Kentucky, he could not attend the funeral. She leaves a husband and seven children--four boys and three girls: Edith, 15; Roy, 13; Charlotte, 11; Joseph, 9; Jennings, 8; Kenneth, 7; and Olivia, 5. Her mother, who was a Miss Young before marriage, died several years ago. Early in life Mrs. Comer united with the Dunkard church at Newport, this county. The funeral was held in the Christian church Thursday evening, at 2 p. m. by the Rev. E. L. Cave assisted by Rev. G. H. Easley. The body was laid to rest in the family lot in the U. B. Cemetery. |

[John M. Gwin
Note: The
following post, "Tracing
Vanished Flight",
was found on an online forum and
is copied here to assist the
writer in his quest.]
On April 2, 1945, a B-29 with the 869th Squadron, 497th Bomb Group, AAF Serial No. 42-93883, took off from Saipan at 2100 hours as part of a large bombing mission over Tokyo. It was apparently never seen or heard from again. No trace of the plane or the crew of 11, which included Sgt. Willis Jennings Comer (he went by "Jennings") of Buena Vista, Va., was ever found, according to records. I am the nephew of Jennings Comer and am posting this in the hope that someone can offer some suggestions on trying to find information about the missing plane, or at the very least that one of the veterans who visit this site can offer up a remembrance of my uncle. The only information ever received by my mother (Jennings' oldest sister, who still survives and still grieves) was in the form of letters from his CO, Lt. Col. Robert K. Morgan, and other Army officials, in the months and year after his disappearance and before he was officially declared KIA. Those letters state that the plane took off, as mentioned above, at 2100 hours from Saipan on 4/2/45 but was never seen again by any other crews (they were not flying in formation) and was not heard from over Tokyo (no radio contact during the mission). It was the 9th mission for the crew, captained by Lt. Edwin F. Dietzel. In one letter it is mentioned that there was a report of a plane that crashed 30 miles NW of Tokyo on that night and that a common grave containing bodies of an undertermined number of men was found, but that no ID could be made of the remains and the investigation went no further. I did request, and receive, a Missing Air Crew Report from the National Archives a couple of years ago, but it offered no further clues. I've searched many online sites but have had no luck. If anyone can offer any suggestions or tips, I'd be most grateful. Does anyone have any suggestions, for instance, on following up on the report of the grave site mentioned in the report, near Tokyo? Are there any online sources of Japanese records? By the way, when I received the MACR from the National Archives, it included details from two other planes shot down over Tokyo that night. I guess they were part of the microfilm file. One was of a plane with the 874th Squadron, 498th Bomb Group, captained by Lt. Carl G. Smith. Some of the crew of that flight reportedly bailed out and were taken prisoner. The other report was on a plane with the 877th Squadron, 499th Bomb Group, and the pilot was Kenneth H. Dustin. The aircraft nickname was Jug Haid II. As with my uncle's flight, there is no information at all as to what happened to that plane. Thanks for anything anyone can offer or suggest. I have posted more info, including a photo of my uncle, at the following web site. It includes a list of the 11 crew members on that flight and excerpts from letters that Jennings wrote home from Saipan. They may be of interest to the vets from that campaign. The web site is http://www.radford.edu/~rrogers/wjcomer.html. Warmest regards to all veterans and others associated with the 20th AAF. |

I believe this is our Shem, husband
of Catherine and father of Amos. His age fits
and his location fits; further, how many Shem
Heatwoles can there be who match up like that?
SO, IF this is he--and I'm convinced it is--we
just opened up another generation! By the way,
Ancestry.com
mistranscribed his first name as "Shew". |

We learn here that his first name is
Shem. The names and ages of his family confirm
that this is Kara's ggg-grandfather. Finding
him here led us to him again in 1850 where we
learn that his father's name is Shem as well;
therefore, we'll call this one Shem Junior
and his father Shem Senior. |

so we can take the spellings of the various

No wonder we couldn't find him! What I finally
did was look at all the Amoses (I left the last
name box empty) in the entire census of Central
District in Rockingham Co., VA, and there he
was. OK, that doesn't, however, explain why I
haven't been able to find any of his siblings or
parents, so I'll keep looking. |

Gabrel Heatwole | My transcription is incomplete--there
are 3 more people in this household, whom I
believe to be Gabriel's daughter and her family.
Being two doors down from Cathern, I feel quite
strongly that they are related; perhaps Gabriel
and Cathern's deceased husband were brothers. |

[John M. Gwin
Note: Kathy Douglas emailed
me regarding the spelling of
"Jaanila"; she wrote: I think that 'Jaanila' must have come from illegible handwriting. If the person was writing "Juanita" and the "u" looked more like an "a", and the "t" wasn't crossed, then it would look like "Jaanila." Until then, neither of us had looked at the original record, only at Ancestry.com's mistranscription of it (above, right). At left is this original. Of course it is Juanita, and she already knew that Gordon's aunt is Juanita, not Jaanila, but I think we have a sleuth here, folks! This is the type of thinking one has to do all the time in this hobby. Do you think Kathy has been bitten by the genealogy bug? (:-) To quote LeRoy Jethro Gibbs, [pause] "That's good work." |

(above) is of part of one of the pages of the 14
Jun 1860 U.S. Census of
Old Salem, Dist. No. 3, Washington Co., TN,
showing the residents of residence #266. Listed are this 22.05--Delilah Hartzell Early, 65 and b. in TN, widow of Mr. Early and mother of the head of this household, Martin L. Early, age 34 (a farmer with $3000 in real and $8000 in personal property), who is also listed with his wife Charlotte (30, nee unk.) and children: Samuel, 8; Delilah, 6; Sarah, 3; and Benj. F., 2. That leaves the Augusta Johnson, 24 (whom I believe to be one and the same as the 23.08--Delilah A. Early, b. 1836, daughter of 2.5--Delilah and youngest sister of Martin); her daughter Elizabeth Johnson, 1; and her husband, George W. Johnson, 22, b. NC, none of whom can read or write. |

Please note that I have listed census records here in two different formats. First are
summary transcriptions of copies of the
original census records transcribed by Ancestry.com,
some of which may have been mistranscribed.
Because I was in a hurry at the time, I simply
cut and pasted them from Ancestry.com into
the places above where they best fit to at
least get some
of the data (names and ages) onto this page.
Second are
my own transcriptions, below, of copies of the
original census pages. These include more data
than simply the names and ages of the parties
as in the summary trancriptions. These are
listed in charts with this pale yellow
background. While they take longer to add, I
believe they may be more valuable because of
the additional information.

mistranscribed his first name as "Abbas", so if
you're trying to find the page from which this was
transcribed, type that in instead. This is the
Abraham Hartsell who appears above as
#3.04--Abraham Hartsell, Jr. I am searching every page of the census of this district to see if other Hartsells appear. |
