This entry is part 73 of 99 in the series Deeds in the Family

I am posting information gleaned from land records in the areas where our family’s ancestors resided. You can read more about this project in the overview . This group pertain to Papa’s Fellows ancestors who resided in Newaygo County, Michigan.

Date: 18 Sept 1868
Liber: 9
Page: 308
Location: Newaygo County, MI
Grantor: Joel B. Fellows of Clyde, Sandusky Co., OH
Grantee: Andrew Baker of Ashland, Newaygo, MI
Witnesses: A.H. Giddings, H.H. Fellows
Type of deed: Warranty
Rec’d and recording: 18 Sept 1868
Clerk/registrar:
Location of land: Ashland Twp., Newaygo Co., MI
Consideration: $1500
Notes: Joel purchased the 20 acre portion from the estate of Erastus Fellows.
Description: NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 and the W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 Sec 13 T11N R13W

The Joel B. Fellows who lived in Clyde was somehow related to the Newaygo County Fellows family, but the exact relation has escaped me so far. Joel B. died in Newaygo County, Michigan on 21 January 1892, his death record reveals this information: Died on Jan 21, 1892, at Ashland, Joel B. Fellows, male, single, age 71 years, 8 months and 7 days, of Blood Poison, born New York, farmer, parents Erastus Fellows born New York and Eliza Fellows born New York.

Since Henry H. Fellows of Newaygo County, and Peter J. Fellows of Ionia County gave their parents as Erastus Fellows and Ruth Smith at various times, and also named siblings which did not include Joel, he does not seem to fit for a brother. He might be a half brother, an uncle, or a cousin. He lived in the same locations, and was associated with the Newaygo Fellows family through land transactions. Also, since Erastus G. Fellows’ second son was named Joel B., and since Henry H. Fellows, son of Erastus G, named one son Peter, some relationship seems more that likely.

The location of this land is illustrated on the Ashland Township map from the old Newaygo County Atlas1.

Beaver Cemetery, Beaver Pennsylvania

January 2nd, 2009 | Posted by Granny Pam in Cemeteries | Papa's Ancestors - (2 Comments)
This entry is part 3 of 60 in the series Cemeteries

This cemetery is downtown in Beaver, Pennsylvania. It is pleasant, and many people walk or jog through it.

Section D, Lot 15. Owner, Warren, Catharine. Date: May 4, 1878, Deed 117. The deaths of two individuals buried here pre-date the date of the lot card. They may have been moved to this cemetery, or perhaps the lot card was made up after the first burials. The one we viewed was typed, and looked like it was created after the fact from a log book. These burials were made on this lot with no markers, it is unclear if the date is the interment date, or the death date.

Catharine Warren, July 17, 1877 (wife of the elder Isaac Warren)
Ethel Warren Wick, February 6, 1956
Wilmer L. Ward, Jan 24, 1970
Hilda N. Ward (Nee Wick), Oct 7, 1984

Catherine Warren Baker –half sibling of Isaac Warren

Isaac Warren ca 1791 – 1870. This uncle of Catharine (Warren) Baker and Isaac Warren raised the children from a young age. According to the cemetery records, the elder Isaac’s wife Catharine is also buried on the lot, but there is no marker on her grave. The lot card says: “First Soapmaker from Canterbury England – 5th Generation Soapmaker”

There are several babies who were descendants of Catharine Warren Baker also buried on this lot.

Catharine, wife of Isaac Warren

September 10th, 2008 | Posted by Granny Pam in Papa's Ancestors - (0 Comments)

Mrs. Catharine Warren ca 1797-1877
Maiden name unknown
Wife of Isaac Warren, ca 1791-1870

There are few records of Mrs. Catharine Warren.  Her husband, Isaac, is listed on the 1840 census of Beaver County, Pennsylvania, the household contains one male 40-50 and one female 40-50.

On the 1850 census of Patterson Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, the household is recorded as containing, Isaac Warren, age 60, Catharine, age 50, Catharine age 11, and Isaac age 9.  The 1850 census does not list relationship to the head of household later census’ did.

In 1860 Catharine is listed in the same household, age 62, born England.

The burial of Catharine Warren is recorded in the records of Beaver Cemetery and Mausoleum and listed in their online index :

Catharine Warren, age 80 died July 17, 1877 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, buried Section D, Lot 15, Grave 4.

We visited this cemetery in 2002 and there are markers on the lot for Isaac Warren, Catharine’s  husband; Catharine Warren Baker, Isaac and Catharine’s niece; and infant great-grandchildren of Catharine Warren Baker.  There is no marker at the grave of Catharine Warren, wife of Isaac.

The will of Catharine Warren, registered in Beaver County, Pennsylvania in March of 1878 is the final record we have found.  The will clearly describes Catharine’s relationship to the younger Catharine Warren as aunt.  I will post it soon.
