Jennifer Lapham

Hi Jennifer, the US Civil War Project is conducting a Check-in for 2024 to see if your still interested/active in the Project.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you. You can click the reply button or message me with your answer. Thank you. Pam Kreutzer, Leader of the US Civil War Project

Hi Jennifer,

Yes, it is interesting how we are both related to Margaret (Robinson) Lapham 1787-1858 but you are related to her on your father's side and to me on your mother's side. I'm related to both of you through my paternal grandmother whose father was a Prichard and mother was a Bartlett. I'm related to Margaret Robinson Lapham through the Bartlett side and to you, through the Prichard side so the same idea but a generation earlier. Could be because I'm related to Margaret through both her parents, the Robinson side (strongly) and the Kingman side (less strongly). Yes, it's a jigsaw puzzle of pieces to assemble. Thank you for contacting me. I enjoyed your comment on my profile page. Cheers and happy hunting, Pat Miller

Thank you for all your recent Lapham adoptions!!

Hi Jennifer, I hope you've been doing well this year. I've posted a new Challenge for the January 13th to 16th Connect-a-Thon. The Challenge is for members to work on US Civil War Soldiers during the Thon. If your interested here is a link to the Challenge Page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Civil_War_Project_Monthly_Challenges_Page

Here's the link to the G2G question: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1506578/us-civil-war-january-2023-challenge

I Hope you'll join the fun.

Jennifer;

I think I found her as an "orphan" and I thank you for your update I don't have any more information at this time.

I think Samuel & Mary are the parents of Mary (Bonney) Lapham (1778-1815). There is a birth record for a Molle Bonney daughter of Samuel & Mary Bonney born 20 Sep 1778 in the NEHGS "Vital Records Pembroke Massachusetts." and no other Mary/Molly/Polly Boney/Bonney born there c 1778. Do you have anything that would confirm or deny it? Stay well, Jennifer

Jennifer: I had attempted to merge profiles, but the machine does not always cooperate.

Jennifer: I have completed documentation of John Allen Keene, father-in -law of Cornelia Lapham. Following his line, we go back to Josiah Keene, married to Abigail Little, who was grandaughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren.

Hi Jennifer, I looked at Lapham-1185, and saw the sticker had been corrected. The skill you are asking about concerns categories. Here is the hints/tips link on the Civil War Project Page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:US_Civil_War:_War_Between_the_States#Hints_for_Stickers_and_Categories

When your editing a profile you will see: Edit Text under it you'll see boxes to click: the box that looks like stairs is the box for categories, when you click it, another box will appear, that's the "category picking tool" you would put in 38th Massachusetts and the correct category would appear which was: "38th Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry, United States Civil War" you pick this and it will appear on the top above the Biography heading. On the Sticker you would type: unit= 38th Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry (do not type United States Civil War) In order for the soldier to be listed in his proper unit the category needs to be correct. On the very bottom of profile pages you'll see a category box, if a category comes up red you know you have the incorrect category listed.

Here's the link to the help page on Categorization: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Categorization

I hope this helps, I'm always glad to help. Pam

Hi Jennifer, I just saw your profile, and the names you are following fit my family also. I have Tuttle, Tuthill, Corwin, Hawkins, Boteler…

I’m from Long Island, New York. The reason I saw your name was because I was looking for John Terry of Southold. I got a photo from a present day Terry on Facebook. Matthew Terry posted it. He is the nephew of Clifford Terry who still lives in the Terry homestead in Terryville. Cliff Terry is an old friend.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. This is a courtesy email to share the After Adopting Orphans FAQ which explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

If you will be working with any profiles needing GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Debi

Yes , Thank you I know they need to be merged & I already proposed them.

But I'll try doing it again. :)

Jennifer, I have added you to the trusted list for all the Laphams I am on. If I missed any, just let me know which ones and I will add you. Also deleted myself as manager to Lapham-898 and Lapham-903. You are on the trusted list for them. I think you have to adopt them. I don’t think I could have named you as manager. If there’s another way to go about it, I am willing to learn! Jill

I want to congratulate you on your Family Star Badge you received on June 21, 2020.

Good catch on Daniel Lapham, I am removing the census note.

I pulled that from Family search, and it does not include a link to the claimed census. I am also making a memo to go back and check everything, and not just blindly import. some times I get busy and dont do that. I am more focused on my Jenks relatives, Thank you for adding this profile tho to your study .

Hi Jennifer, I just got back from an 8 day holiday. Thank you for your comments and I will attend to the matters that you pointed out as I get caught up. Best Wishes, dusty

Hi Jennifer, re: Zach Hawkins Hawkins-1030, I didn't create that profile but I did add a lot of info. Some sources will have on-line links attached; some don't because the source has not been made available digitally, or is only a library document or family document, etc. That's a general answer, I know. You can see all the WikiTree formatting tips in "Style Guides" here: [1] , specifically HTML [2]

Thanks, Jenny, for adding a marriage date to Henry Lapham. This matches my own data ... your note is a good stimulus to get me back to adding more from the daunting pool of information I have. I'll join the Lapham project you created.

Thanks for the information.

Sorry but I do not have any additional information on Israel Carver.

Jennifer, thank you for your comment on Abigail (Sherman) Lapham's profile. Did you want to add Patience and Ichabod to Joseph Lapham, Sr's profile? I am descended from her brother, John Sherman, and don't have a direct interest in the Lapham line. Thanks!

Re merge of Woodbury-1247 and Woodbury-943. I have approved the merge, See sources on 943 re birth and marriage dates. Please go with my new sources.

Thanks, Jim

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the message re: Hawkins. I don't have any Hawkins in my tree, I just thought I'd lend a hand when I saw your G2G post.

All the best,

Gillian

Re: I added Constant to the Lapham One Name Study.

Thanks for doing this! I was working on trying to connect Holdridge-83 to the tree, and was working up his wife's ancestors. No luck yet, but it's all good for adding to the larger tree.
