HINDS
RESEARCHER Donna Hinds
Dated 11 Jan 1999

Subject: 1908 Death Certificate
. Noticed in the death certificates a mistake on one of the ones listed. It is listed under Hurd or something like that but should have been Hinds
. It should have read Hinds, Rosa [her name was Rosanna but I noticed on the death certificate I got that they have her listed as Rosa] b. 21 January 1846 [it is listed as 1844 on the certificate you have] AuSable,New York. d. 22 April 1908 Sedro-Woolley,Wa. buried Sedro- Woolley,Wa. Cause of death and everything else is the same as what we have. her father was William Baxter and her mother Maria Vincent but they don't have her mother's name on the certificate. Both William and Maria were born in England.

Second message dated 12 Jan 1999

"We had her dates and all that from her husband's civil war pension papers so we could verify it. Is there anyone that has the death certificates for 1905 through 1918 as we have some of our Van Volkenburg in those time periods and would like to get the information on them. Would be more than happy to have the Hinds surname listed. They came to the state shortly after 1900 and seem to have slipped into oblivion as far as records go. Great Grandpa Horace [husband of Rosa/Rosanna] died at Western State Hospital in 1907 and we can't find a death certificate for him. The Hospital sent us the medical records, but that was what we had for him other than his civil war pension papers. Thank you so much for your response."

IRISH, PELTON
Post from RESEARCHER: Faye Cluckey clucbasaball@earthlink.net
Dated 22 Mar 1999

Since I first contacted you I have found bits & pieces about the Colony - some info contradictory, like the amount of land, etc., but all very interesting. The more I learn, the more I want to know. To me, the Colony is absolutely fascinating. I have discovered that my husband's great-uncle, George E. Pelton ( his grandmother, Sarah Pelton Irish's, oldest brother) was probably the leader of the first group to arrive and settle the area and, possibly even gave the colony it's name. Now I have to wonder if, since they were family, my husband's parents were also among the first to arrive, or if they followed at a later date. I've also learned that Sarah Pelton had another brother, Charles, living here in Seattle at the time of her death.... wonder if he was also part of the Colony.... seems logical that he probably was. I'm now hoping to somewhere, somehow find a list of the names of the original group.

If you'd like to look at my "efforts" (very much still under construction ) the URL for my web site is: members.tripod.com/FamilyAlbum/IrishIndex.html

Thanks you so much! Faye Cluckey

. You found my maternal grandparents. Loan A. Jewett (it's spelled correctly) who's dates are noted as 1864-1936, and his wife "Saphronia Ellen", 1870-1936. Loan A. Jewett is a son of Johnson W. Jewett and Almina L. Wheeler. He is a direct descendent of Joseph Jewett who founded Rowley, Massachusetts, along with his brother Maximillian Jewett in the 1600s. Loan and Saphronia had seven children, the eldest of whom, Goldie May, was my maternal grandmother.
. Daisy is the wife of Albert Johnson Jewett, son of Charles M. and Clara Wilson Jewett. Charles and Loan were brothers. The family came west from Missouri and settled around Avon in Skagit county.
. I don't know who Ralph, son of G.M. and C. Jewett are but I'll work on it. I also don't know "Emma".
