Duchess Snowy Domain

Sunday, March 6, 2011, in the afternoon thru Monday, March 7, 2011, has brought some new snowfall to the San Juans in southwest Colorado with more to follow on Tuesday. It seems to be a wetter, heavier snow this time. The photo on the left was taken on the north end of Vallecito, CR 500 a few days ago before the new snow fronts came through.

NW Okie's "The Good Old Days"

I have been working on my maternal and paternal ancestors over at Ancestry - paristimes, especially my maternal Dutch Ancestors of CONOVER / KOUWENHOVEN / COUVENHOVEN. I have found some interesting stories, legacies and information in my research.

The photo on the left shows my Great-Grandmother, Sarah Francis CONOVER (KOUWENHOVEN/COUVENHOVEN) (1848-1924), who married Henry Clay PARIS (1844-1918). Their children were (not sure of the order but believe Grandpa Ernest Claude Paris is standing, far right): Arthur Henry (may be seated, on the far right), Volney Peter (1872-1960), Myrtle Mae (1885-1965) (the only daughter) & Ernest Claude (1879-1959); seated in front, left to right is Sarah Francis CONOVER PARIS, Henry Clay PARIS and another son, Decatur Ray (1877-1947) (Decatur may be standing on the backrow).

The Time of Indian Peril In Virginia

According to The History of Highland County, Virginia, the time of Indian peril in Highland county, Virginia began near the small Indian village of the Shawnees about 60 miles down the South Branch. The red men used the valley of Virginia only as a hunting ground and military highway, along which bands of Northern and Southern Indians made forays against one another. The chief of these war trails lay through the Shenandoah Valley and was known as "Indian Road" and alluded to in the surveyor's book.

Colonial Virginia

I am assuming that there are many Oklahoma citizens with Ancestors that settled around the Colonial Virginia's. As we explore the history of Virginia, maybe it will give you some insight into "Who You Think You Are!"

Our European Forefathers of Highland County

Last week we spoke about the peculiarities of the European stocks from which the Colonial Americans were derived and what brought them to America (religious and economic reasons).

The English, the Lowland Scotch, the Saxon Irish, the Hollanders, the Germans, and the Swedes were of the Germanic stock, which is cool-blooded and persistent.

Scotch-Irish of Highland

Are there any Scotch-Irish emigrants in your ancestral family?

During the colonial era the Scotch-Irish were spoken of as Irish because they arrived from Ireland. Yet they were quite distinct from the Celtic Irish. They were fundamentally Scotch, especially the Scotch of the Highlands. There was also a considerable admixture from the north of England and a slight sprinkling of Huguenots. They were thus a composite people, and such a stock is usually forceful.

Long Island Pioneer

In the History of Long Island by Peter Ross we found the following biographical information concerning an ancestor on our Maternal CONOVER / KOUWENHOVEN side of the family. I am not sure exactly how distant and where to fit this ancestor in to our ancestral database or which lineage it derives from. BUT ... maybe someone out there can help in placing William I. Kouwenhoven in the family tree.
