Subject:      Carnivals, Kent Gypsies, Pettigrove

The previous posting about the palmist prompts me to ask if anyone has ever
done any research into ancestors that were travelers.  My gg grandparents
James Brittenden PETTIGROVE and his wife Isabel PELHAM ran a carnival out of
Orpington, Kent, ENG.  They lived in a caravan, wintering in the Orpington

fairgrounds and touring with the carnival during the summer.  According to his
obitiary, James was the first person to use steam power for a roundabout
(merry-go-round) and the first to put electric lights on a roundabout.  When
Isabel died at age 101 she was considered to be the longest living carnival
person ever, surpassing the old record of 98 set by her sister Caroline BIRD.
They are buried in the Church of England Cemetery in St. Mary Cray, KENT.
In Isabel's obituary it says she was born in a wagon and died in a wagon.
My questions are
1..  How would one go about finding records for travellers?
2.  Is there some association or newpaper or other information source for
    carnival history?
3.  Are the Kent gypsies ethnic gypsies or from the same heritage as most
    Brittish people?  Isabel Pelham was called the "Blue-eyed mother of
    the Romanies in her obituary.  Travellers in Ireland are as likely
    to be blue-eyed blonds or redheads as any other Irish person.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a question about requesting a military pension file
from the National Archives by using Form 80.

Who was eligable to receive a military pension? Today, only
career personnel receive pensions. However, I have gotten the
impression, from reading this group, that all soldiers who
served in the Civil War, War of 1812, etc. were eligable to
receive a military pension. Is this really the case?

Were there any restrictions? Did this apply to both enlistees
and draftees? Did this apply to non-commissioned personnel as
well as officers? 

What were the rules governing military pensions?

Thanks to all in advance!

National Archives depositories have pension files on microfilm. You

Hart, state printer, 1880). Stanford U library call # 974.8.H42a ser.2

Maybe others. Try Melvyl, and maybe the LDS, for Pennsylvania Archives

Herb gardens were common at the time --- and not to flavor salad. These
represented ad hoc home pharmacies. Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) has a
daisylike flower, the heads of which, when dried have long been used as
a medicinal tea. Clearly, this provides fluid, is calming to the stomach,
and may have other properties of which I am unaware. Suggestion of
therapeutic effect -- the placebo effect -- has always been strong in
such home remedies, and each subculture has their own: carrot soup; chicken
soup, milk toast, etc. which also offer nourishment (and a remembered
nurturing in childhood). Anyone an expert on teas and 19th century stuff?

I do know that my g.g.grandfather, Mathew Duncan Gregg (1804-1845)
distrusted physicians and had a large trunk of remedies tht he used to
treat himself. He died of a thyphoid like illness a Potomac Furnace in
Loudoun CO. VA in the summer of 1845, as did his brother David Potter Gregg
and a brother in law. Epidemics were common.

>Questions:

I would try the Penobscot Marine Museum, Box 498, Searsport, ME 04974
207-548-2529. I talked to Page Lilly. She couldn't help me with a question
I had about Captain Frank Green Rogers Lennan, but at the time I had
thought that he had come from Hampton ME, but now I strongly suspect he
came from Georgetown ME.... The Peabody Museum, East India Square,
Salem, MA 01970 Tel: 508-745-1876 is very knowledgable and helpful, with
a large collection of records.

No... but in researching the Lennans in the Boston area, and scanning
the census data, it is striking how many people were coming up from
Maine (which is down east).. Industry was growing fast around the
port of Boston. I know that it was common to recruit immigrants from
the Palatinate (Pfalz) with glowing stories of work to be done in the
US... must have used the same salesmanship more locally on the Mainers..

Thanks for the great story!

There is a similar tradition in the west of Ireland, in the Aran Islands
and surrounding areas of county Galway. Among fishermen in particular,
the standard dress was a white woollen sweater. Each family has its
own pattern in which the sweater is knitted. One of the more bizarre
explanations I have heard for this tradition was that the pattern
was often the only means of identifying the body of a fisherman who
had drowned. I can't vouch for the truth of this theory, as I seem
to recall reading some debate about it a while back, in which doubts
were cast on the age of the tradition and the reasons for it.

Followup-To: 

Terrance, sometimes the census page numbers are a bit confusing, 
especially in the older censuses.  Officially, the pages were
numbered 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, etc.  Many times, people wrote over these
with 1,2,3,4, etc, and you can actually see both if you look.  Once
in a while, a census index will use one method, while another book
will use the other.  Also, sometime the page numbers are off by one.
This is because of the way that the pages physically appear.  Page 1
starts with the census book open, and 1 is on the right side.  When
the page is turned, 1B is on the left and 2A is on the right.  In some
cases, tha back sides are not numbered, and people assumed that when
the book was open, that the number on the upper right page was the
number for both pages.  So, if you read "page 60" in an index, it could
possibly be 59B, 60A or 60B, or it could be 30A!

Now. as for Talbot county, you should start looking through the old
grantors' and grantees' indexes of the county to see who was buying
and selling what (or whom!) in the years before the Civil War.  In
many cases, slave names are actually on the deeds.  If you are really
lucky, you may find deeds where slaves served as collateral to secure a
loan.  In these cases, a good description is usually called for.  Also
look in the slave schedules for 1850 and 1860 to see the number, ages,
gender and color of slaves. These are in the separate slave schedules
that were taken at the same time as the regular censuses.  This will
give you an idea of whether or not the old lady from Virginia is there.

Another resource: 

Black Heritage Research Center
Station 14 Street
Sullivans Island, SC

(that's off the top of my head; I forget the exact street address and
zip code - but you can probably find these out.)

In my ancestry there is one slave, six generations back, who was about
1/4 African blood, by all reasonable estimates and evidence.  Beyond
him, we don't know anything for sure, but his owner was probably his
father by the good treatment he received.  He was freed in 1794, so my
research has a quite different flavor than that of the mid 1800's.  The
rest of my ancestry is white, so I am too, except for states where the
"one drop" rule still applies.  We didn't even know this until I found
"free colored" in the 1830 census back in 1979!

Good luck with your search.  Please be in touch any time.

	Thanks. That will probably be my next line of bussiness. I've

	One of the things that's unsettling about doing black
genealogy is that often you get to find out the dollar value of your
ancestors, but that is par for the course since most african-americans
will find that at least some of their ancestors were slaves. I will
have more to say about that too, later.

I'm looking for suggestions about tracing families of lesser

the daughter of "the youngest son of a lesser earl in the court
of Queen Victoria."  I don't know Mary Ann's dad's name because
she was adopted at 10 by the Governor of Missouri, specifically,
by his wife.

I'd like to look at a tree of these "lesser" types to see if
the Clements name pops up.  Obviously, our Clements weren't to
high on the list if they preferred to come to the midwest and
farm in the mid-1800s.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Terrance,
   There is at least one more census record you can check: the 1850
Slave Schedule for  Talbot County. This tally was taken separately
from the white schedules. If you find an owner named "Heath" who
lists a 3 year old male & an aged female born in Virginia, you're
in business.
   Also check the Talbot County Will Books, probably available on
microfilm at the U. of GA library there in Athens. Check all "Heath"
wills. Slave owners usually deposed of their slaves by name and
other mentioned relationships. (I.e. "To my beloved wife I give my
negro woman "Nancy" and her son "Charley.") It's rather chilling
to see human beings being parcelled out along with the tea spoons
and feather beds, but the information can be useful.

I'm looking for a book, "The Heffernans and Thier Times", by Major Patrick
Heffernan, MD a retired official of the Indian Medical Service, published in
London, England.  I learned of it from a Dec.23 1959 newpaper article which
interviewed a Jesse E. Heffernan, of Sheboygan, Wisconsis the son of the
late Maurice Heffernan who immigrated to Wisconsin from Wellington County,
Ontario, Canada in the early 1850's.

Any information on the Book, Jessie or Maurice Heffernan would be very
helpful.

Thanks,
