Who is Cornelia Palon? ORTHERA? AMELIA? AEILIA? CORNELIA?
In 1850 NY census Cornelia Palon (Ames) {my great grandmother}
(Daughter-in-law of Adolphus Ames,Wife of Ira Daniel Ames,
Mother of Nancy Theo Ames, my grandmother)
is enumerated in August 1850 Oswego, NY as
Cornelia or Amelia Palon and the
Green County Wisconsin census Orthera Palon is
enumerated in October 1850. I know that the Orthera Palon
in 1850 Wisconsin is my Cornelia Palon because of
a newspaper article by Ruth Scoville her sister.

In my research I found a James Palon written in the corner of the
Bible page of my grandmother Nancy Theo Ames which said
James Palon died on 24 August 1887. ***Entry did not say where James Palon died.

Sure looks like Altheah FINN Scoville may have been
Cornelia Palon’s mother.
Then who would Susan Palon be? Would Althea be divorced
from James Palon?
Who was Mary Scoville in 1850 Wisconsin living with George Scoville?
Was Mary Scoville Althea’s sister? Don’t think so because the census
says Mary Scoville was born Kentucky. I have not found the marriage
records for George Scoville. This would be wonderful as It might clear
some of this up or only add confusion.

******NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS AND ASSISTANCE WITH FUTURE RESEARCH ON CORNELIA.
FUTHER RESEARCH:
1. George Scoville marriages (Possibly married three times)
2. Birth or Church records for Althea FINN/FLYNN
3. Marriage records for Cornelia Palon Ames
4. More information on James Palon and his children and wife.
Possibly may find on a query or in Newberry Library in Chicago.

Love Letters, Lies, Truth, Half Truths ?
Nancy Ames, twenty-one, was dressed beautifully on her wedding day. A broche with Lou’s picture graced her left shoulder. Full eyebrows, hazel eyes, and dark, brown curly hair piled on top of her head spilling over her forehead framed her oval face. Lou described her as “prepossessing brunette, who dresses well”. Lou Hansen, twenty-five, wore a black silk suit, a top hat, and a diamond stickpin in his lapel. His salary was $ 90.00 a month and he owned a 1903 Oldsmobile, a well-to-do gentleman by any standards.
“I do,” said Lou, as he slipped the one-carat ruby ring, engraved with “Nancy 1906” on Nancy’s finger. Nancy placed a matching eighteen-carat gold ring inscribed “Ludwig 1906” on Lou’s finger.
They moved into a Queen Ann-style house, lavishly decorated in romantic and feminine décor with a green Persian rug in the center of the drawing room. Palm trees adorned the rooms. The wood, marble and brass were highly polished.
Blanche was born in 1908. The marriage deteriorated. They divorced in 1913. After the divorce, Lou publicly humiliated Nancy, accusing her of having an affair with a man named J.P. Glass during their marriage, publishing his accusations in the newspaper, with contents of letters Glass had sent to her. The publicity angered and embarrassed Nancy. Lou had accomplished his purpose. [1]
In 1915, Nancy married Charlie Worthing. They moved to Truro, Iowa, and lived a quiet life with Blanche and their daughter Grace.
Did my grandmother, Nancy and J.P. Glass have an affair? Was J.P. infatuated with her? Was Nancy flattered by his attention? Did she marry Charlie for love or to escape the scandal? Did Charlie marry her to protect her? I would like to believe Nancy and Charlie married for love and found happiness in Truro.
[1] According to the newspaper, Lou was having affairs with “lewd women of ill repute” in Chicago. The divorce papers reported Lou treated Nancy with extreme and repeated cruelty; beatings; threatening her with a gun; and using vile and abusive language and failing to provide proper and necessary clothing for Blanche and Nancy, Aurora Beacon News.

DNA Test Results
DNA seems to be the way to go with this family. The Ames Society was able to contact a 94 year old first cousin to my mom. With the help of the Ames Society, he tested. The DNA test ruled out many Ames lines. Adolphus Ames did not match with the Nathaniel Ames of Dane County Wisconsin. This was a big disappointment. Nor did this DNA test match with anyone who tested in the Ames Society.
I have not been able to find the John Ames who signed Adolphus' son into the Civil War and also why since Harvey Campbell was his guardian.
It seems that my Ames who tested with the Ames Society is minus 2 generations from the other Ames that tested. The other Ames is descended from a Samuel Ames and Louisa Ames who lived in New Lebanon, Columbia, New York in 1850. This family migrated to Lenawee, Michigan which was on the migration route of Adolphus on his way to Wisconsin. I have not found any of the Samuel Ames descendents in Dane, Jefferson, or Rock County Wisconsin yet.
Unfortunately, NY did not start keeping vital records until 1880.
I have to now look at newspapers, church records of the area. My hypothesis is that Samuel Ames is a brother to my Adolphus Ames since Samuel was born around 1800.
We did the 67 marker DNA test on the advice of the Ames Society. This result should be coming in any day.

Decoration Day
I hope each of you enjoys your holiday, but how many remember when it was called Decoration Day? AND, how many know how it got started. As Wikipedia so nicely puts it -- Began as a ritual of remembrance and reconciliation after the civil war.

Palon Genealogy
Dear Writer perhaps you could leave me a message
Ira Ames married Cornelia Palon in Albion Dane County Wisconsin in 1868.
The family resided in Albion, Dane County, Wisconsin then moved on to Milton Township and Janesville, Rock, Wisconsin then moved to Lake Koshkonong in Jefferson County Wisconsin.
If you can help with my Palon research please contact me at http://palongenealogy.blogspot.com/
What do you think? Help me out, Please?
Looking for other thoughts on my Ira Daniel Ames son of Adolphus Ames
When Adolphus Ames died in Wisconsin in 1854 his probate records said he was penniless.
The three boys were put under guardianship of Harvey Campbell. Sarah his daughter was married to Milo Campbell and living in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin at this time. [more on Sarah in a later blog]
Henry Ames was found in 1860 working for William Chambers.
Andrew Jackson Ames was found in 1860 working for Seymour Woolcott.
Ira Ames in 1860 was working for Wm Morrison.
Ira was 12 when he went under guardianship of Harvey Campbell. However in 1860
at age of 19 years and 9 months enlisted in the Civil War with John Ames as guardian.
Was John Ames the John Norton Ames grandson of Nathaniel Ames? Was this John Ames a relative?
Could not find any records showing that guardianship for Ira Daniel Ames changed from Harvey Campbell to a John Ames. Was he a young man anxious to sign into the Civil War and made up the name "John Ames" and signature on the enlistment papers? I doubt he made up signature as this document looks pretty official and was in his NARA records of enlistment.
Questions:
1. Do you think the Adolphus Ames family sold their land in Pennsylvania and moved to Dane County Wisconsin because there were other "Ames" family relatives there who might be related to them?
2. The family of Nathaniel Ames had a grandson named John Norton Ames and other family member name patterns follow the children names of Ira Ames when he later married.
Might there be a connection?
Was Ira still under guardianship of Harvey Campbell when he enlisted in Civil War and just found someone in town with the last name "Ames" to sign his enlistment papers?
Did Ira forge the signature of John Ames on the enlistment papers?

AMES in Mc Kean, Pennsylvania
Adolphus Ames Family
In 1840 Adolphus is living with wife and one child Sarah age 2 born in New York. Also living with Adolphus Ames household is a woman between ages of 60-70 who might be mother or mother in law. I looked at obituaries in Mc Kean County for any Ames or mention of any elderly woman living with the Adolphus Ames family in Norwich Township but did not find any thing. I visited the cemetaries in Norwich Township in 2008 but did not find any Ames tombstones.

1850 Census Liberty, Township, Mc Kean, Pennsylvania
Adolphus Ames Family
In 1850 Adolphus Ames and wife Julia are farmers in Liberty Township, McKean Co, PA. Children are Sarah Ames born in 1838 in New York. Ira Daniel Ames born 1842 in Mc Kean, Co, PA; Andrew Ames born in 1845 in Mc Kean, Co, PA; Henry Ames born in 1848 in Mc Kean, PA. When I obtained his deed for this property the deed was signed by Adolphus Ames. On the deed it also stated that his wife's name was Sarah, so she may have been Sarah Julia or just Sarah. The deed conflicted with the census on wife's name.
The deed shows that Joseph Ames owned property adjacent to Adolphus. Joseph Ames may be the brother to Adolphus Ames. I will post the deeds in the next post for examination.
