| 1152 | (Research):From NEHGS Register April 1933, vol. 87, p. 159-160, "The Children and Grandchildren of Capt. Myles Standish" by Merton Taylor Goodrich, M.A., of Keene, N.H. Lois, m. (1) 20 Nov. 1706, as his second wife, Hugh Calkins, b. in Jun 1659, d. 15 Sept. 1722, "in his 63rd [sic] yr, " son of John and Sarah (Royce) Calkins, who came with their older children from New London to Norwich. (Norwich Vital Records, pp. 19, 43, 172, Caulkins's History of Norwich, p. 172 and deductions from these data). He had m. (1) in May 1689 Sarah Sluman, who d. 5 Apr. 1703, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Bliss) Sluman (or Slonman). (Norwich Vital Records, pp. 13, 43, etc., Caulkins's History of Norwich). Lois did not marry an Abell, as the late Wesley Weyman thought possible, but Hugh Calkins, son of Hugh and Sarah (Sluman Calkins), married 9 Nov., 1714 Phebe Abell. (Norwich Vital Records, p. 77). Lois (Standish) Calkins m. (2) 21 Mar. 1727, as his second wife, Lieut. John Sprague, who d. 6 Mar 1728, son of John and Ruth (Bassett) Sprague. His first wife, Lydia, d. 18 July 1725. The identity of Lois as the widow of John Sprague is established by the following deed, dated 26 Jan. 1729 and signed by Lowis Sprague, Miles Standish, Elizabeth Standish, and Amie Standish, the last three being children of Israel Standish: "The subscribers heirs in part to the estate of our brother Miles Standish late of Preston deceased and ye other as Resedary part being nephews to our Honored Uncle Miles Standish" sell to Jabez Carey their rights in the real estate left by said Miles. (Preston Land Records, vol. 4, p. 657, quoted in the Wesley Weyman M.S., box 4, package 34. From The Sprague Project: http://www.sprague-database.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I49414&tree=SpragueProject Who was the second wife of John SPRAGUE, son of John and Ruth (BASSETT) SPRAGUE? Most sources list her as Lois ABEL but some sources such as the Mayflower Families in Progress series for Myles STANDISH list Lois STANDISH as the second wife. They simply add the footnote "The marriage record in the Barbour file calls her Lois ABEL" with no additional explanation. Further information on this problem, as to who was John SPRAGUE's wife was, has been kindly provided in a letter from Mr. Robert Wakefield of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Mr. Wakefield wrote, on May 17, 1998, "I received Russ Warner's Standish file several years after he died. I added much to families that had children, but families with no Standish descendants were a low priority. The Mayflower Societies main purpose is to prove lines of descent. There are three possibilities: 1) The town clerk made an error when he recorded the marriage. I have seen many cases where the town clerk made an error, usually, the bride's first name, but sometimes the surname. The published church records do not have the marriage, so it can't be checked there. 2) Lois married ______ Abel between 30 Dec. 1723 when she is called widow Loice Calkins and 21 March 1726 when she married John Sprague. There is no record of such a marriage in town or church records. If true, she would have buried 3 husbands in less than 6 years. 3) Lois married _______ Sprague and a Lois Abel married John Sprague. We know Lois married a Sprague before the 26 Jan 1729 deed when she is called Lowis Sprague. There is no record of such a marriage. I do not know the answer and we may never know the solution. The old Standish Genealogy in NEHGR says Lois m (1) 29 Nov. 1706 Hugh Calkins and m (2) 21 March 1727 Lieut. John Sprague. Old undocumented genealogies - Standish, Sprague, or any other families, are not proof." (signed, Bob Wakefield). | Standish, Lois (I1269)

| 1162 | (Research):Journal of James H. Martineau says there were 16 children in his mother's family, all of whom married, except one brother, who died at the age of 21 or 22. (See Journal of James Henry Martineau, page 2). However, he began his journal in 1851 at age 23, based on memory of things his parents told him, so there is no evidence here. However, it might suggest a further search to see if there were other children. | Mears, James (I558)

| 1164 | (Research):MARRIAGES: Confusion over whether he and the William shown in the AF as his father were one and the same. Following taken from "Leyden Documents Relating to the Pilgrim Fathers", Netherlands America Institute, Leyden, E.J. Brill Ltd, 1920. (Only references to William Bassett in this document.) Notes: see D00013 Pg. VI, Marriage intention: 19 March 1611 William Basset, hodman, Sandwich, England, widower of Cecily Light (Sisle Lecht, as recorded by the Dutch magistrate), accompanied by Roger Wilson and William Brewster, with Mary Butler, accompanied by Ann Fuller and Rose Lisle (Mary died in April before completion of the "banns"). Pg. VIII, Marriage intention: 26 July 1611. Marriage 13 Aug 1611 William Basset, Englishman, widower of Cicely Light (Sisle Lecht), accompanied by Roger Wilson and Edward Southworth, with Margaret Oldham (Holdum, Holtham) (Margriete Oldum - Dutch record), accompanied by Wybra Pontus and Elisabeth Neal (she appears to have married William Buckram of Ipswich, widower of Judith, 17 Dec 1611). Records of the "Fortune", which arrived in Plymouth, MA in 1621, show William Bassett with one other family member, presumably his wife. In the 1627 Division of Cattle, he is shown with wife Elizabeth and children William and Elysabeth. No other William Bassett came from Leyden to Plymouth. From the above, it appears William of Leyden was a close acquaintance of William Brewster (born 15??) and Roger Wilson (born about 1584), both of whom came to Plymouth. William Bassett continues to have close relations with Brewster, Wilson and Miles Standish in Plymouth. See: "Ancestry of Two Great Grandmothers, Esther (Root) Poole, Lois (Sprague) Mears", compiled by Winifred Lovering Holman, S.B., 1938, copy at the NEHGS, pg. 203-210 - D0007 "One Bassett Family in America" by Buell B. Bassette, 1926, copy at the NEHGS, pp. 1-8 - D00012 references the Leyden records and the will of William Bassett of Plymouth and dismisses the argument for one William Bassett. Rationale is: "but this would require that he be born as early as 1590 and make him 77 at the time of making will, whereas the language of the will does not indicate one so old. Moreover, it is quite unusual for one to have married twice and have both wives die within ten years without heirs." The argument that they are one and the same includes the following: 1. Only one William Bassett appears in the Leyden records and he appears to be a close acquaintance of William Brewster and Roger Wilson, both of whom go to Plymouth. Only one William Bassett goes to Plymouth. 2. Those accompanying the marriage intentions were likely of similar age. A number of them marry close to the same time (see Leyden records). Roger Wilson and William Brewster were born in the 1580's. William Bassett of Leyden is likely close in age. 1590 is reasonable. 3. The statement in the will "If God had lengthened out my life It might have bine that thou mightest have bine more Comfortably provided for" seems to be more a sentimental expression than the worries of a young husband unable to leave his wife adequately provided for. William was a substantial land holder and had a significant library, hardly leaving his wife in poverty. Also, this statement seems no more unusual for a 77 year old than for a 67 year old (as Bassette assumes), given the life expectancy of the times. 4. Given the apparent high mortality in the group, it is not unreasonable for both wives to have died. Cecily could have died soon after marriage; Margaret Oldham could have been unable to bear children or had children who died in infancy and could have died before the departure for Plymouth. 5. One IGI record gives the name of Elizabeth, wife of William of Plymouth, as Elizabeth Neil, although the only Elizabeth Neal in Leyden accompanied Margaret Oldham at her marriage to William Bassett and in December marries William Buckham. Another gives it as Elizabeth Tilden. It is not unusual for a man to marry his deceased wife's widowed sister, in this case Mary Tilden. | Bassett, William (I1143)

| 1194 | (The following is a writing by Dale Arthur Parkes May 1999/ edited by Cindy Parkes Barnett) John, Anna, and 2 year old Clara (from Eastwood Branch, Nottingham, Conference, who joined the Church with 321 British, 213 Scandinavia, and 57 Swiss/German saints totalling 609 European Saints) Left Liverpool in September to emigrate to America and head west to Utah. They boarded and traveled in the Steamship, Wyoming. An Elder Henry W. Naisbitt, returning home from his British Mission in the offices, was chosen from among 17 returning LDS missionaries on the trip as "captain" of the "band" of Mormons for the duration of the journey. He wrote a letter detailing the start of the voyage to the British LDS periodical, The Millennial Star of (which he had been and editor), recording that the first night of their crossing (en route to Queenstown from Liverpool) was terrible. The weather and seas were so bad that none were exempt from seasickness. No one even considered eating the breakfast provided on board the next morning. The Wyoming, a faithful ship the carried thousands of LDS to America, made this crossing in 11 days and arrived at the port of New York on 25 Sep 1878. One life, that of an old gentleman, was lost during the voyage and his body was buried at sea. This was an unusual foreshadowing of a tragic event that would impact the lives of the John Orson Parkes family when William Parkes would attempt to join his son, daughter-in-law, and grand daughters Clara and Mary in Utah 3 years later in 1881. It took 11 days on the ship, seven days on a chartered train to arrive in Salt Lake City 3 Oct 1878. John Orson was 30.5 yrs. and Anna was 20.5 and nearing the end of their 2nd pregnancy when they left Liverpool. On 28 Oct 1878 (just 25 days after arriving in Utah) Mary Parkes was born in Hoytsville in Summit County, Utah. (Hoytsville is located just off current-day I-80 between Wanship and Coalivlle, Utah. (Not sure why they were there), and by the time their 3rd child was born: John Henry (Jack) Parkes on 8 Jul 1881, the family had relocated to Bountiful, Davis County, Utah. While living in Bountiful they have 4 more children: Annie, Charles Edward (my grandpa), Joseph Arthur (who died at 3 years of age), and Jessie Parkes, between Jul 1881 and Dec 1890. Their next 3 children born between Apr 1893 and May 1899 in Salt Lake City were, Frank Moroni, Myrtle Lillian, and Ruth Minnie. John Orson and Anna Maria receive their endowments and are sealed in eternal marriage in the Endowment house located on the north of the Salt Lake Temple lot. (the temple would not be finished for 11 more years). Their two oldest children, Clara (67) and Mary (65) were sealed to them on 6 May 1843 AFTER the death of their parents, but Dale says he could not find any record of their first son (John Henry) being sealed to them at that time or ever. | Parkes, John Orson (I5)

| 1197 | ************* Cliff May October 30, 1989 OK, California, drop those barbecue aprons to half-mast and pause a moment in memory of Cliff May (Obituaries, Oct. 20). Here was a man who made practical applications of the American spirit of the times after WWII. I lived in a Cliff May-inspired house in Long Beach and, except for a Wilson's infielder's glove I used during the summers of 1958-1962, it was the most elegantly form-fitting piece of construction I have ever occupied. May's designs recognized and anticipated the middle-class social contour in post-war California: the need for cheap housing for the returning GIs; lots of space to expand for the growing families; removal of the public front porch to the private back yard--sans garage, of course; open, flowing space within the houses to accommodate the interactions of family life. Since May there have been others who have interpreted the changing zeitgeist , notably the designers of all those apartment buildings with the underground garage and just enough height to avoid the terrible expense of high-rise building codes. In their own way, they are as important as May. But how mean-spirited and glum are these buildings compared to the glowing optimism of May's bourgeois charmers. What a lucky man he was to have designed the architectural equivalent of hope. JOHN LEVERENCE Burbank | May, Clifford Magee (I7)

| 1198 | ************* Cliff May (1909-1989) was an architect practicing in California best known and remembered for developing the suburban Post-war "dream home" — the California Ranch House. Clifford Magee May was born to Beatrice Magee and Charles Clifford May on August 29, 1908 in San Diego. Always proud of his family background, May was a sixth-generation Californian through his mother's family, a descendent of José María Estudillo. A Spanish soldier, Estudillo rose through the ranks from a lieutenant in charge of Monterey for over twenty years to captain overseeing San Diego in 1827. When Estudillo took command of San Diego, his son José Antonio was granted a lot in the newly surveyed lands outside the presidio walls and it is here the family settled down and built an adobe house that overlooked the plaza. | May, Clifford Magee (I7)

| 1199 | ************* THE MAN BEHIND THE RANCH HOUSE By JOSEPH GIOVANNINI Published: July 3, 1986 THE ranch house in America was so popular after World War II that, in retrospect, it seems to have been a grass roots development. But architectural historians trace its invention to a single architect - and he is alive, well and living in his own sprawling ranch house in California. ''Everyone tells me I invented it; it's been said so many times but I still don't believe it,'' says the 77-year-old Clifford May speaking in perhaps his ultimate ranch house, all 10,000 square feet of it, in a canyon of the Santa Monica mountains. ''But I guess we were there first.'' ''First'' was 1931, when Mr. May - who never attended architecture school, but had designed furniture - built a one-story, tile-roofed courtyard house on speculation in San Diego, inspired by his family's own adobe ranch houses in the area. His aunt had lived in the adobe house on the old Los Flores rancho, and his great-great-great-grandfather Miguel Estudillo had lived in the San Diego house where Helen Hunt Jackson, author of the romantic early California novel ''Ramona''set Ramona's wedding. ''I rebelled against the boxy houses being built then,'' says the architect, who still practices. ''The ranch house was everything a California house should be -it had cross-ventilation, the floor was level with the ground, and with its courtyard and the exterior corridor, it was about sunshine and informal outdoor living.'' The first house sold easily, for $9,500 despite the Depression, and Mr. May repeated his success, doing over 50 other houses in San Diego. By the mid-1930's, Mr. May was offering, as a developer-architect, a choice between old ranch houses based on native California adobe models, and what he calls a Yankee version. Both had the same plan but the Yankee house was surfaced in board and batten: shingles rather than tiles were used for roofing. In 1935, he moved to Los Angeles, where over the decades he has designed more than a thousand custom houses, some situated as far as Australia, Ireland and Switzerland. He also sold plans for about 18,000 ranch houses and designed ranch-house tracts, some of which he developed himself. With bedroom wings stretching into yards, and courtyards and patios mingling with interior spaces, the ranch house proved a comfortable, likable, adaptable and enormously popular family house, one that also offered a life style. Already imitated by the mid-1930's, the ranch house went on to conquer many American suburbs with its charm and simplicity, and, especially during the 1950's, encouraged the country's informal backyard way of life. There were many variations of Mr. May's California ranch house across the country; contractors simplified it in the 1960's into a more modern-style structure that kept the long, low lines and outdoor orientation. Unlike most suburban ranch houses today, Mr. May's comes with the ranch. Electric gates about 10 feet high and 20 feet wide noiselessly part at the foot of his 15-acre West Los Angeles estate, to reveal split-rail fences and long rolling meadows spotted with sheep and horses grazing among California sycamores and native live oaks. A low gatehouse, with a manger next to the corral, has sycamore trees growing up through the heavy, hand-split shake roof. The bell that can be heard ringing up the canyon, at the main house, once used to call farmhands to work at his aunt's. A visitor enters the front door of the main house to the soft beat of Big Band music, piped through a sound system that reaches every indoor and outdoor space of the sprawling house. An amateur musician, Mr. May played the saxophone in the Cliff May Orchestra from 1924 to 1932. He owns a large collection of tapes and records. When he is not playing Big Band recordings, the architect accompanies a baby-grand player piano in the living room on a second baby grand next to the first. Both instruments have had their legs shortened, to parallel the horizontal lines so consistently used in the house. The only tall shape in the house is the pigeon tower, home for white roller pigeons, which, when they fly, sometimes abruptly roll. Built in 1953, what was first a 12-room, 6,500-square-foot house was expanded many times. The children's bedrooms were doubled and a separate dining area and a library were built; bathrooms were improved. Always, the rooms kept their close relationship to the patios. What was originally a raw canyon landscape evolved into a gentle, pastoral setting: California poppies coat the bank of a hill and white iris border the meadow, The house's board and batten siding, its hand-troweled masonry, the antique doors and decorative wrought-iron give a rustic and romantic look to the picturesquely composed building, but its feeling is modern, with the easy flow of the space inside, the brightness and its openness to the outside. ''A house doesn't have to look modern to be modern,'' says the architect, ''and a modern-looking house isn't necessarily modern.'' The 55-foot-long living room, with a sheltering roof 14 feet high, has a surprising continuous skylight at the peak, which opens the room to the sky, silhouetting the beams. The long room leads the eye straight out through the plate glass windows to the bucolic south and north meadows. The volume of space inside is huge. Mr. May has chosen low furnishings, to keep the space intact. An entire side of the living room is lined leather and vellum bound books; there are groupings of pre-Columbian statues, gathered during Mr. Clay's many flights to Mexico (he is a pilot). The living room has country-style walk-in fireplace. The easygoing house is, however, only apparently simple: Mr. May, an engineer by instinct, has planted the house and grounds so that they are a land mine of gadgets. The sprinkler system is automatic, and Mr. May knows where every valve is. There are motion sensors throughout the house; copper pipes heat the patio paving. In the corral, there is an electric horse ''hot-walker,'' to keep the horses exercised; an electric flytrap, set over the compost heap, immolates passing flies. Even the layers of wood shingles in the roof are separated by sheets of metal, to protect the house in case of a canyon fire. Recently the architect installed a fish-shaped faucet at one of the kitchen sinks: water is activated by an electric eye in its mouth. On a recent evening, as night fell, Mr. May adjusted the complicated indirect lighting system that had automatically come on outside. He showed that by setting the lighting level outside higher than that inside, he avoids black expanses of plate glass windows at night. With a turn of the dial, the living room was transformed into an outdoor space, seeming to extend into the meadows, to the most distant light on the last California sycamore. The setting was fit for the sequel of ''Ramona.'' photos of Cliff May and ranch houses he designed (NYT/Tim Street-Porter) (page C8) http://www.nytimes.com/1986/07/03/garden/the-man-behind-the-ranch-house.html | May, Clifford Magee (I7)
