Marriage License for Ernest Barrows and Clara Spawr Northern Wisconsin's Cutover Lands In the first few decades of the 1900s, both sets of my grandparents and some of my great-grandparents tried to develop farms on land that had been cut over by lumber companies in northern Wisconsin (Marinette County). They hoped to achieve the same kind of success as homesteaders in the Midwest in the previous century, but the odds were against them. Here are some links with more information: "1870-1940: Defining a Region" by Robert Gough "Richard T. Ely and the development of the Wisconsin cutover" by Robert Gough "Colonizing the Cutover: Wisconsin's Progressive-Era Experiments in Rural Planning" by Susan O. Haswell and Arnold R. Alanen Photos of Cutover Lands from the Wisconsin History Society A Tribute to

of Alice Freeman
Thompson Parke, who has been called the ur-mother. We link back to her
as follows: Philip Delano, Jr. > Philip Delano, Sr. > Jonathan
Delano, III > Prudence Hibbard > Margaret Morgan > Dorothy
Parke > Dorothy Thompson > Alice Freeman. According to the New
England
Historic
Genealogical
Society
site, Alice is "both an
ancestor of the late Princess of Wales and Princes William and Harry,
and a descendant herself of Ethelred II 'the Unready,' King of England
(d. 1016)." The site also lists famous American tycoons, authors, and
Hollywood figures among her descendants (and our distant cousins). An Infamous Cousin—An account of one of our
ancestors in the Delano branch being accused of fathering illegitimate
children is at "The

follows: Philip Delano, Jr. > Philip Delano, Sr. > Anna Ladd >
Timothy Ladd > Nathaniel Ladd > Samuel Ladd. A really cool old
book from 1890 about Ladd genealogy is in Google
Books. It tells all about Samuel Ladd being killed by Indians at
the end of the 1600s and has even more information about his father,
Daniel Ladd. (If the link doesn't work, search Google Books for "The
Ladd Family.") Organization for Delano descendants. LATEST ON THE BARROWS BRANCH December 26, 2009 Book: Farming the Cutover: A Social History of Northern Wisconsin, 1900-1940 My husband bought me this book for Christmas, and I have already started reading it. Roy and Karen Barrows bought cutover forest land near Amberg and moved there in 1921 to try to turn it into a farm. In 1944, they gave up and moved back to Chicago for good. This book describes what they were up against. I've added some links above to articles about the cutover that you can read on line. December 12, 2009 Mabel Barrows, 1923-2009 I just learned that my Aunt Babes died Nov. 30. We had only gotten to know her in the past few years, and we are going to miss her a lot. October 17, 2009 Descendants of Philip Delano Jr. The cousin who contacted me in September sent me the information from the 1899 Genealogy History and Alliances of the American House of Delano by Major Joel Andrew Delano that included my great-great-grandmother, Eliza Delano Barrows. It also included Philip's siblings and other children. With that information, I checked records at familysearch.org's new records search site and added quite a bit of data to my Delano branch--enough to create a new Delano descendants page. September 2, 2009 Delano update Yesterday I heard from a distant Delano cousin who caught a mistake in my "Mayflower Connection" note above. I was using unverified Internet sources based on out-of-date research. (I hadn't put any of the details on my site because I hadn't researched the information.) The error was leaving out Jabez Delano, and I have just corrected it. My newly found cousin provided an authoritative source for the update: Muriel Curtis Cushing, Delano Kindred genealogist, in The Mayflower Descendant. He also tipped me off to an ancestor of Jabez' wife Prudence Hibbard, Alice Freeman Thompson Parke, who has all kinds of royal European ancestors and prominent descendants (our distant cousins) including Princess Di and her son and presumably future King William.
