Clara Agnes Johns V16 Page 378 Oak Hill, May 10, 1926 9:44 PM I went this morning on 6:35 AM PRR train, changed at Gbg taking 8:16 there & went through to Edgewood where I took a street car back to Swissvale & then walked across to 7339 Princeton Place to residence of W.O. Whitmarsh & at 9:40 AM was admitted by his wife Sarah Carothers Whitmarsh, daughter of David Shaw Carothers, who was son of Hon. Robert Carothers & he son of Charles Carothers. I handed to her in her front small parlor or writing room the 174 letters I had gotten on Saturday May 1st last from Laura Maxwell at the old home of her late Uncle Joseph C. Carothers. She had written me May 6th in answer to my letter & reiterated it today that when her sister, Mrs Wallace comes from Detroit, Mich, she will be glad to have me come & go over the old papers & books in the desk of her grandfather Robert Carothers in the old home aforesaid & will let me know. She thinks it will be latter part of this month. She says she did not burn any old family letters, nor did she find any real old ones. She says her great grandfather's name was Chas Carothers & that he is buried V16 Page 379 at Monroeville, Pa. She does not know where he came from, nor when he came to Allegheny Co. She says she never saw her grandfather, Robert Carothers, but does remember her great Uncles, William, Charles & James & her great Aunt Ellen Carothers. Mrs Whitmarsh said that her great Uncle Charles Carothers had a grandson Charles who now writes it Carl M. Carothers who lives at No 1501 Wood St, Wilkinsburg, Pa who on his mother's side is related to Trees of the Benedum Trees. His Aunt, daughter of Charles aforesaid, lives with him & is a widow without children she thinks considerably past 80. Her name is Mrs Mary Ellen Sumner. She called her on the phone & talked to her. She says she does not have any old Bible records, but knows much about the family. Says her grandfather Charles Carothers had a brother, William Carothers, who went to the state of Indiana & they have lost track of him. Says another brother, Adam went to Ky & has descendants living about Shelbyville now. She says she will be home all this month. Go see her. Mrs Whitmarsh's mother was a Murphy & her mother was a Crawford. She phoned a Miss V16 Page 380 Sallie Crawford of Wash D.C. a cousin of Mrs W's mother, now visiting in Carrick with a niece, who is getting up a Crawford Hist. I talked to her by phone & she says her early Crawfords settled on the Wisahickon. She said she would leave her address with Mrs Whitmarsh. Miss Whitmarsh, school teacher, a delicate girl, came in & said her Aunt's husband recently deceased, was Rev Mac Hastings Wallace & his mother was a Finley from over in the Forks & he has gathered a lot of Finley data & once when here on a visit went to interview a doctor Finley in Wilkinsburgh. They said they wd write Mrs Wallace & ask her to bring what he had gathered about both the Carothers & Finley. Mrs W. says the family record of her father, David Shaw Carothers is in Henry's commentators out at the farm. She has a small genealogy of the Whitmarsh family published in 1916. She says her great Uncle James Carothers had no issue, but an adopted daughter Agnew perhaps who got all. She don't know whether her great Uncle Joseph was married or not. Her great Uncle William Caruthers was married twice, but had no issue. His sister,Ellen never married. She suggested seeing the

I am not writing for these as I find their [sic] are abstracts of wills in Chalkleys Augusta Co records 3 Vol so I will look there. They are in Hall bookcase. V16 Page 385 At residence & home of Mrs Mary Ellen Sumner No 1501 Wood St Corner of Susquehanna St Wilkinsburg, Pa May 13, 1926 12 o'clock noon daylight saving time. I walked up here from the PRR Sta arriving 10:25 AM D.S. time & have been talking with Mrs Sumner, a fine old matronly heavy set active woman of 86, born on Nov 25, 1840. She has gotten the record from the bible of her father Chas Carothers Jr which she says fell to pieces & also the bible with record of her brother James D. Carothers, whose son Carl M. Carothers lives here with her & the telephone is in his name. She says she built this house, a frame one, in 1887. I am embodying the above bible records in the genealogical table following. Miss Martha G. Johnston, living on 726 South Ave Wilkinsburg, near Mulberry St is a daughter of a daughter of Rev James Graham by his 2d wife & could no doubt tell the maiden name of Rev G's 1st wife see page 393. Matilda Graham wife of James Carothers had a sister Mary who married Agnew, being his second & she died there V16 Page 386 after the birth of her only child, Mary Eliza Agnew who was then taken by her Aunt Matilda & raised in the family. She was not adopted by James Carothers because her father objected at least not in her father's lifetime, but she may have been after her father died. She went by name of Mary E. Carothers & as such, was married abt 1864 or 1865 to John Milligan of Swissvale, Pa & she is buried at Beulah Ch. Thinks she had 5 children. He is living in Swissvale, Pa doing what he always did, nothing. He owned the farm & saved it for him as he had financial trouble. James Carothers willed all he had & his wife & she willed it all to this niece. The James D. Carothers bible was printed at Phila, Pa by Wm W. Harding in 1860. Mrs S. taught school several years before her marriage, has kept her head & health, but her eyesight does not permit of her reading. She is not at all feeble & has a very thick growth of iron gray hair. Leaving 4:33 PM D.S. time. Will write down the 8 pages I penciled down when I get home. Left 3:33 PM RR time V16 Page 387 Mrs Sumner said her grandfather, Charles Carothers was 19 yrs old when he married in the "Neck", Margaret McDade who was 27 yrs old. They then moved to the Robert Beatty farm (Beatty had been sent out from the Eastern part of the state as a surveyor) near Monroeville, Pa abt 3 miles back from Turtle Creek. He was offered the land where East Liberty now is for one dollar an acre, but refused it because the land was swampy. He bought a farm adjg the Beatty farm from Rev Black & moved on it when his youngest child, Charles (born in 1804, he himself didn't know his birthday) was one year old. Rev Black was a covenanter minister. Beatty had a son Robert who had a son James Wilson F. (F. just an initial to keep his mail from getting mixed with an Uncle James W.) Beatty who married Mrs Sumner's sister. Robert Beatty Sen, the engineer married a Coulter of the Greensburgh family & among his 12 children one was Richard Coulter Beatty who was a doctor in East Liberty, William Armstrong who lived near New Texas, Pa was born in a block house on the Haymaker farm in what is now Patton Tp in 1789 to which the settlers had fled to escape the Indians & my informants Aunt Ellen Carothers was born later the same year 1789 & was 87 yrs old when she died in July 1876. Her Aunt Ellen had often told her that her father had no records of births & she knowing this fact did not know when she was born until V16 Page 388 learning from Armstrong when he was born. Mrs S. said her father, Chas Carothers Jr died Dec 15, 1876. Said her grandfather Charles Carothers Senr was plowing in the snow in Mch 1847 & instead of stopping when the snow storm came up, kept on ploughing, took cold on his lungs & died there from pneumonia one week later. She says that both the father & mother of her grandfather Chas came with him from the "Neck" to the Beatty farm & both of his parents died on the Beatty farm before he moved in 1805 to the Black farm. She does not think they would be buried at Monroeville, but at an old church, not at, but near New Texas. She says they came from the East, she knows & thinks it was from the Cumberland Valley she had heard them say. She says Beulah Church is two miles from here & to reach it, go out Penn Ave until you come to the forks & then take the left hand road. She says her grandfather, Chas Carothers was an elder in Beulah Church & had a dispute with the Pastor Rev James Graham & left the church & went & built the Cross Roads Church at Monroeville. She says it "was built on a fuss which has always continued". She says Rev Graham met her grandfather on the road one day & reining up his horse said "Mr Carothers, we might as well be friends again" to which Mr C. replied V16 Page 389 "We cannot be friends. Good morning Sir" & rode on. She said her Uncle, James Carothers & her father Chas Jr were both elders at Beulah & both are buried there with their wives. Says as you enter, James & his wife are buried to your left in an enclosed lot. She says Mary Eliza Agnew was not adopted by her Uncle James at least not while her father lived, but might have been after he died. She was the daughter of Mary Graham, a sister of her Uncle James' wife Matilda & she was married, however, as Mary Eliza Carothers, to John Milligan who is still living. She is buried there. To go to the graves of my informant's father & mother, go on past James' lot & turn to the left & you will find also grave of her Aunt Mary Carothers ( my informant was named for her two Aunts) then two of her father's young children buried next to Mary, but no markers, then his with a marker, then his wife next but no marker, then her own husband, Mr Sumner with no marker except the regulation marker of a soldier (I forgot to ask abt his service). She has her father's bible record which she brought me. Thinks her grandfather, Charles was born in this country. Has an indistinct recollection of her Aunt Ellen Carothers. Speaking of a Holliday connection away back. She says when they left New Castle, Pa in the Spring of 1860, they packed a lot of their old belongings Carried to page 396 V16 Page 390 & V16 Page 391 [descendant chart] Download 2.12 Mb.
