Captain Gladden LaFavor Farwell, Company D, 28th Illinois Infantry, Civil War, USA

Obituary Extract and Military References on Captain Gladden LaFavor Farwell, Co. D, 28th Illinois Infantry

Subject: Captain Gladden LaFavor Farwell

Captain Gladden LaFavor Farwell was the son of John and Abigail (Howland) Farwell, of New England. The couple is said to have married in Barre, Washington, Vermont, in 1807, and this is thought to be G.L. Farwell's birth place. When Farwell was young, his father died (the obituary says aged five; mathematics says aged three and a half, or else he was born earlier than the stated 1818). His mother moved to St. Charles, Missouri (before or after her husband's death is not stated). There, she married Benjamin Walker, a brickmaker, on 22 January 1822. Census shows that Benjamin Walker was born in Kentucky, though the birth places of all these individuals varies a bit in census.

Gladden L. Farwell married Mary Winfry Cheatham in July 1845, in Macomb, MacDonald, Illinois. The date is either the 14th or the 24th.

Extract of the Obituary of Capt. G.L. Farwell (as published on Find A Grave Memorial no. 114097624.

Note: This obituary, as published, is (apparently) the image of a typewritten transcript of an obituary that was reportedly published in the Macomb Journal. The typed page, as published on Find A Grave, looks like a genealogist's transcript of an obituary that was in the Journal. For instance, in the middle of the obituary transcript, it has a note regarding information found in the following day's paper (which would not be in the Feb. 3 obituary--it is the researcher's note). There is no reason to disbelieve the transcript, I'm just qualifying the source.

George William Crowson, 1890-1985 (England and Western United States)

George William Crowson

This research relates to a George William Crowson, born in England, who immigrated to the U.S. and later moved west to California. He died in Oregon and was buried in California. Originally, I had looked at him to try to distinguish him from a Crowson of a very similar name, whose family had moved from Tennessee, to Georgia, out west to Oregon, and finally, to the state of Washington. The two individuals do not appear to be related at all.

Name: George William Crowson. Born: 5 June 1890, Lincoln, England. [Note: full address standardization to include the county would be Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England].
