I have reason to believe the Captain photos are of Captain George Thomas Scott, but I need to find out when they were taken in order to determine who it is. There are also other naval type photos. Could be the Merchant Marines which my Great grandfather William was enlisted as a mechanical engineer. I'm trying to track down some descendants of Captain Scott. I've tried to nail down the cap embellishment, but haven't found anything that matches. I don't know if this is Canadian or American, Naval or Ferry... I'm just full of questions right now. The writing on the back of the photos don't help. Is it William, Captain Thomas or Patriarch Thomas, but I doubt that last one. I need an EXPERT to help me figure out the uniforms.</p><p>My Uncle was told growing up that his grandfather was the Captain of a ship. That would be Patriarch Thomas Scott of Little Bay East. How could this be? Could it be? We know so little. We've never been told he was a captain. He died in 1912. Wouldn't this photo have to be WW1 or something? I'm clueless.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWG8zImn2YaPTJBAQxpUF0HsmZxzHGy1DwllvK6Vk_kkYdZF6SVS1uDyRFmYESAa7YRt87h8sJzsM2Tdoqr2rRU9dRmLkUe4-Aj0ntpdIUtu1GvV73nk5zKn_69Pl8oq8thPG_RdTklmXPia8DBhNvsGiJHv1b1ZjP_t-sSBa2fLHU1Yx0hdkIwTJPvoJ7/s1714/edited-unknown-captain-scott2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

<p><b>HISTORY</b></p>
<p>Albert Edward Buttery (from Channel Islands) married Elizabeth (Lizzie) Lomond in 1881 and had eight children in Grand Bay, Newfoundland. Twin sons died within a few weeks of birth and are not included in the Family Chart. Albert Edward died at the young age of 39. His oldest daughter Elizabeth "Eliza" (my great grandmother) married William John Scott (in 1911) from Little Bay East, and they moved to Rochester, New York, shortly thereafter. Eliza’s mother eventually remarried Charles Pike and would later adopt her granddaughter by son Walter.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5j5p4Y4WkCv2lmRs1NTj_o2HEe1rpHTBWrMcQP0JYUNqR8ixOJQ8ND3VUYM9vy6aAL7vHUrstTiYhojtJEm3nOPByqM7qRfhrzasXaMb4Vy0AbB9RMTJJLoawzfKZHbiUSgyg7OyLvleV/s891/elizabethlowmanbuttery-enhanced.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="891" data-original-width="748" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5j5p4Y4WkCv2lmRs1NTj_o2HEe1rpHTBWrMcQP0JYUNqR8ixOJQ8ND3VUYM9vy6aAL7vHUrstTiYhojtJEm3nOPByqM7qRfhrzasXaMb4Vy0AbB9RMTJJLoawzfKZHbiUSgyg7OyLvleV/s320/elizabethlowmanbuttery-enhanced.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605504973758981548.post-74530827400145558852020-06-01T08:06:00.004-04:002020-06-01T09:09:31.252-04:00Candis Scott Elliott (1942-2020)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwG0rtrqAaR_SYyHifWkao_hUc093HQmzGZJXD0y9qpItos8h6yLMjgBB59DY0KqE1Yf8_BkrSV1X_V-BpLiMyg2YA7L4T8AQ1IHBRs_4lQSR6IG6bhhTmvmTGXCj2V0HLu6RIojUaGeKa/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="449" data-original-width="501" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwG0rtrqAaR_SYyHifWkao_hUc093HQmzGZJXD0y9qpItos8h6yLMjgBB59DY0KqE1Yf8_BkrSV1X_V-BpLiMyg2YA7L4T8AQ1IHBRs_4lQSR6IG6bhhTmvmTGXCj2V0HLu6RIojUaGeKa/s320/summerof69.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><font size="6">Candis Elliott (mom), granddaughter of Eliza Buttery Scott (1890-1975) and William Scott (1882-1938), died at 7:20 in the morning of January 24, 2020, most likely from COVID-19, in Asheville, N.C. She had been a quadriplegic since July 2006. </font><div><br /></div><div><b>OBITUARY</b></div><div><div>Candis “Candy” Diane (Scott) Elliott passed away January 24, 2020, after a long battle with serious health conditions resulting from a tragic fall in 2006. </div><div><br /></div><div><div>Candis (Candy) Diane Scott Elliott was born in Jamestown, New York, on May 24, 1942, to Pastor Lawrence and Vera Scott. She grew up in Hinsdale, Illinois, where her father served as Pastor of the Hinsdale Church. She doted on her brother David who was 6 years her junior. Candis loved playing the piano and accompanying her father when he sang.</div><div><br /></div><div>When Candis was a teenager, her father accepted a call to Florida Sanitarium Church and she attended Forest Lake Academy where she met Marvin Elliott who was a grade above her. When he graduated and entered Loma Linda School of Dentistry, Candis soon followed to attend La Sierra University where she majored in Elementary School Education. After graduating, she and Marvin were married August 2, 1964, in San Bernardino, CA, and at the same time, she took a position as 1st grade teacher at Loma Linda Elementary School.</div><div><br /></div><div>In 1966, Marvin and Candis were called to Asheville where Marvin took over a friend's dental practice. Their daughter Michelle Elliott Fontaine (Nelson) of Alpharetta, GA was born in 1968, and son Lee Elliott (Kirsten) of Candler was born in 1971. The family enjoyed snow skiing, camping, and visiting Hilton Head in the summers. Along with Marvin and her children, Candis was also survived by her brother, David Scott (Kathy) of Tillamook, OR.</div><div><br /></div><div>Candis played the organ and piano for the Mount Pisgah Academy Church for over 20 years. She taught music and 5th and 6th grade at Asheville Pisgah Church School. One of her spiritual gifts was hospitality. She enjoyed cooking and hosting gatherings, including church bridal and baby showers. Her greatest joy in her later years was her grandchildren, Lauren and Kaeleigh Elliott. Kaeleigh followed in her grandmother's footsteps--accompanying others on the piano--including sister Lauren. Lauren, who most resembled her grandmother, took on her love of animals, and is also musically inclined.</div><div><br /></div><div>Candis took great pride in the accomplishments of daughter Michelle, and son-in-law Nelson as they planted their own church in Alpharetta, Georgia, just as her great grandfather did in Massachusetts in the early 1900s. And like her parents and ancestors, she remained strong in her faith and never wavered throughout her ordeal since her accident left her paralyzed in July 2006.</div><div><br /></div><div>When the family discussed arrangements after her death, it was suggested they have a quiet family service, but she requested a memorial service for everyone to attend so that the Lord could be publicly praised. Her service will be at 3pm, Saturday, February 1, 2020 at Mount Pisgah Academy Seventh-day Adventist Church in Candler. </div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605504973758981548.post-2026464120556473662017-03-17T18:23:00.001-04:002017-03-17T18:23:44.132-04:00Whales Come to Little Bay East, NewfoundlandScott cousins captured it all!<br />

------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
This story will probably be lost on the younger generations, but the ol' timers will find it interesting. Thomas Scott's (Fortune Bay's) grandson Lawrence Scott (my grandfather) was somewhat of a "singing preacher." He loved to sing, and my Mom often accompanied him on the piano.<br />
<br />
Today Mom showed me a box of old sheet music, along with a folder containing correspondence between Lawrence Scott and Hugh Martin, Jr, the man who wrote <b>Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.</b> Hugh thought the world of my grandfather, and they were very close.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Martin" target="_blank">Hugh Martin, Jr.</a> was a composer who worked with Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Gene Kelly, Lena Horne, Debbie Reynolds, Michael Feinstein, Jerome Robbins, and many others! The last song Bing Crosby ever sang in public was written by Hugh.<br />

<span style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
Walter died tragically at the age of 27 from TB. He had 3 daughters who mostly lived in North Sydney, NS. His second daughter Rebecca M. Buttery (1912-1970) married Philip G. Francis (1907-1991) and until yesterday, I found no evidence they had children. WRONG! They had 7 children!<div>
<br /></div>
Rebecca's children are: <br /><ol>
<li>Margaret Jane Francis Ongo</li>
<li>Regis Cordella Rose</li>
<li>Walter Frederick “Buck” Francis</li>
<li>Clarence Francis</li>
<li>Arthur Francis</li>
<li>Dorothy Cross</li>
<li>Oswald “ozzy” Francis</li>
</ol>
<div>
They are not in order of age--don't know all of the birthdates yet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Arthur Francis died in 2011 and worked as a purser aboard Marine Atlantic vessels for
most of his life, retiring from the Atlantic Freighter in 1992. He was a former
member of the Canadian Navy, and a veteran of Iraqi war, "Desert
Storm" serving with the Merchant Marines. He was a member of Branch #19
Royal Canadian Legion, the Cape Breton Naval Veterans and St. John the Baptist
Anglican Church, North Sydney.</div>

Hope you are well. I haven't posted in awhile because I've pretty much learned all I can learn--or at least have found everything to be found online. The other day I saw this clip on a British sketch comedy show. SO funny! This is dedicated to all of my newfound cousins! Cheers!<br />

This may sound morbid, but during my research, I have greatly benefited from online documentation by other relatives. After attempting to contact two individuals regarding their research, I found that they had passed. If it weren't for their research before they died, I wouldn't know nearly as much as I do now and I'm so grateful, but disappointed I can't thank them. So...in case I pass...here it all is! :-) RIP Jerry Lomond.<br />

To recap, my line of Butteries--the focus of this blog--descend from Dr. Benjamin Buttery and Jane Griffiths of Monmouth, Wales. Benjamin begat William and William begat the branches I study. William's son Albert Edward ended up in Newfoundland (my branch.) His daughter Eliza ended up in Ireland. She is the first of at least 3 Eliza Butteries--one being my great grandmother.<br />
<br />
Eliza Buttery was born about 1847. She married a Samuel Adams Dec 31, 1878 in Channel Islands, and they lived in Belfast, Northern Ireland.<br />
Eliza and Samuel begat another Samuel (1881-1916). Samuel married Margaret Eccles (first wife) and was killed in WW1 on Oct 8. <a href="http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3299520&id=I3714">Jerry Lomond said this</a> about him: “Samuel Adams ran away to Canada and signed up on November 19, 1914 to serve in the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force during World War 1. His name is on the Vimy Memorial, France. While in Canada, Samuel married Theodosia Johns and had a daughter.”<div>
<br /></div>
Samuel and Margaret begat Eliza Adams (1900-1974). She married Joseph McKnight and they lived in Northern Ireland. She died roughly a year before my g-grandmother Eliza Buttery Scott. Jerry Lomond has recorded Eliza and Joseph as having a son named Joseph McKnight (<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">1926-1964.) I do not know anything past this.</span><div>

descendant can't see them in person, but enjoyed miniaturizing them for a
whimsical accessory. The adjustable silver plated circle bezel ring
holds handcrafted clay icebergs, whale and water. The glaze covering
gives the surface a kind of gel-like feel. The icebergs have more of a
rubbery feel than hard or rough. The ring is approx. 1 inch across (25
mm). <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/195952026/newfoundland-iceberg-ring" target="_blank">Purchase here</a>!<br />

</div>
I am sad to announce the passing of Walter (AKA Walt or Sonny) Scott this morning in Rochester, NY. He was the son of Walter Archibald Scott from Little Bay East, Newfoundland. <a href="http://www.meesonfamily.com/obituary/Walter-William-Scott/Rochester-NY/1369289" target="_blank">Obituary</a><br />
<br />
Walter worked at Kee Lox, a paper company, many years before getting hired
by Eastman Kodak and working on the instant camera until his retirement in 1990.<br />
<br />
FYI: Many Scotts were associated with Eastman, including my great grandfather William Scott of Little Bay East.<br />

3/13/14: I have found a record for Annie Blackmore who died in Sydney River, NS in 1940. Very possibly our Annie. We know she worked in North Sydney in 1937.<b><br /></b>
<b>ADDENDUM 1</b><br />
2/10/14: The boy in the middle in the checkered shirt is believed to be John Amey, brother of Hilda on the right. This leaves the girl on the far left the only person unidentified in this photo.<br />
<hr />
<br />
As some of you may know, it took me a couple of years to find out what happened to the youngest child (Rosanna/Rosie) of Albert Edward Buttery and "Lizzie" Lomond and I posted my findings here:<br />
<a href="http://newfieroots.blogspot.com/2013/01/final-buttery-mystery-solved.html">http://newfieroots.blogspot.com/2013/01/final-buttery-mystery-solved.html</a><br />
<br />
AND on my Mysteries Page, I have had this photo posted of the Scott family with a bunch of kids--the 3 youngest unknown.<br />

I'm happy to say the youngest child has been identified as Hilda Amey! A few days ago, I finally made contact with her descendants in the Niagara Falls area. Hilda was the youngest child of Maud Buttery--sister to my great grandmother Eliza Buttery Scott. I have many more posts on the blog relating to my research on Maud and her family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We think this photo was taken around 1925 when Maud and Hilda* lived with the Scotts. Maybe 1924. Rosanna died in 1923 and the thought crossed my mind that maybe the 2 children on the left are hers. As I have not yet tracked down Rosanna's descendants, I don't have a lot of info on the family, but it seems she had two children--John and Annie. I'm a little doubtful that these are the kids in the photo, however. I think Annie was born around 1920--same year as Hilda. John was born in 1916, so this boy seems a little young and the girl too old.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I would still like to find out what happened to Rosanna's family. Rosanna married Fredrick Blackmore 20 May 1914 in Channel. I believe the Blackmores had family in Nova Scotia and most likely settled there. I have record of John Blackmore, a seaman, visiting a George Blackmore in Halifax, 1937.<br />
<br />
<b>Facts</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Annie Blackmore worked as a domestic on King Street in North Sydney, NS in 1937.</li>
<li>Fred Blackmore remarried Elosure Patience Crocker.</li>
<li>In the 1934 census, the family is still living in Channel-PAB.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*It appears Maud's son John lived with husband Philip in the 1925 census. Maud and Philip were estranged. Maud died in 1929.</div>

Needless to say, I got a HUGE grin on my face! I couldn't believe it! You never hear mention of Newfoundland--or even Canada--here in America, and I think it is such a tragedy. Sadly, I have never been to Canada, but I have studied it on a grand scale. I really don't see a need to travel to Europe when everything is in this country--mountains, sea, small villages, and people with British and French accents!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't know what is the bigger draw to Canada--the physical beauty or the inner beauty of its people. Of all of my friends on Facebook, Canadians seem the most jolly, the most happy-go-lucky, the most content. They never complain. I love these people!</div>

I've discovered another Scott branch in America which is always exciting. In looking over my great grandfather William's obituary, I noticed he had a brother James in Medford, MA (1938.) James Richard Scott was the 7th child of Thomas and Sarah Scott. He was born 27 Oct 1875 in Little Bay East, Fortune Bay, Newfoundland, and married Phoebe Hannah Pittman on 30 Nov 1900 at Pool's Cove. Phoebe was born in 1880 at LBE. They had three children all born in LBE. </div>
<br />
James Scott and his family arrived in the U.S. around 1914/1915 and there is record of them living in Medford (Ellsworth St.) from 1920-1940. His brother Andrew also lived in Medford (1938.) I have not located any further info past the 1940 census. The info. I have obtained on their children is as follows:<br />
<div>
<ol>
<li>Clarence Scott born 31 August 1901</li>
<li>Ada Scott born 15 November 1904 </li>
<li>James Scott born 1913</li>
</ol>
</div>
1. Clarence was an Engineer and married Lucy Isabel Wishman in 1926. At the time of their marriage, they lived at 33 Leighton St., Medford, MA. The following article contains info about the wedding with a photo of his bride. They had a son Richard.<br />

His second wife was Barbara.<i><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></i>Gerald's children are recorded in his obituary as follows: a son, John, Washington, D.C.; two daughters, Patty Smith, Virginia Beach, Va., and Rowena Buffett, California.</blockquote>

Because of the generic names, we have to rely on contact with family members for further data. It's possible I have a beat on Rowena Buffett and am waiting for a response. I have a real low success rate contacting people through Facebook, but it's often the only means I have. If you have a Facebook account, don't forget to check the "Other" folder of your Inbox!

Maud Amey and daughter Hilda lived with her sister Eliza Buttery Scott in Rochester.<br />
<br />
<hr />
To recap previous findings, Maud Buttery Amey (1893–1929) was the daughter of Albert Edward Buttery of Grand Bay, Newfoundland, and her older sister was my great grandmother Eliza Buttery Scott. She married Philip Amey and they had 3 children--all born in North Sydney.<br />
<br />

Maud sent this postcard to her older sister, and on the back she casually scribbled a note about the death of her first child, also named Eliza, who died of influenza at age 4 in North Sydney, NS.</div>

It took me awhile to decipher the handwriting and identification of the people in this next photo, but thanks to an Amey relation, we succeeded in identifying Maud and her two youngest children here around 1922. This postcard seems to have been written to Philip who was already living and working in Niagara Falls, NY. The family officially relocated there in 1924.</div>

Sadly, Maud developed heart disease right before the move and died in 1929. It is curious that she died in Dayton, OH, and had been living there for about 2 years while the family stayed on in Niagara. I had documented Hilda's descendents--they seem to still be in the area, but could find nothing on John after 1937...until my recent discoveries.</div>

I was very sad to learn sweet John died at age 19. I have found evidence of his schooling and the fact that he sang (from local news sources). His obit did not contain any details, so I obtained his death certificate from the cemetery. The reason cited was "gangrenous appendicitis." Sad enough? Apparently, his father and sister loved him VERY much. I found the following tributes to him through the years. Heartbreaking. </div>

<strong>Factoids</strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Both Philip and Maud (Buttery) Amey grew up in Newfoundland in the late 1890s, and their fathers were born in Jersey, Channel Islands. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I believe Maud and Philip probably met in North Sydney as Maud's oldest brothers worked there as miners for a time.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Ameys lived in Newfoundland, but relocated to Sydney to be miners around 1905. Philip's brother Arthur died in 1911 at age 20 in the worst mining disaster in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
John was born "Philip John", but never used the official name.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Philip and John are buried in the famous <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/O652K" target="_blank">Oakwood Cemetery</a> where individuals who have attempted to go over the falls, or have jumped to their death are buried. It is quite historic and I would love to visit the area.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In 1930, Philip and Hilda lived with his sister Mildred Geering and her family in Niagara.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Philip remarried Elsie and died in 1962. Hilda Jane Castricone died in 1998.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a sketchy chart of Hilda's descendents for those interested. I also have some high school photos of two of her 3 kids.</div>

<br />
Rosie "Rosanna" Hannah Buttery died at the exact same age and from the same illness as her brother Walter. Rosanna died in 1923 at the age of 27 from tuberculosis. Her husband Frederick Blackmore remarried just a few months later widow Elosure Patience Crocker. When Fred died, she married Arthur Blackmore.<br />
<br />
Poor "Lizzie". She lived through the death of her husband, twin infant sons, three adult children, and probably a few grandkids before passing in 1949. Sad, but probably typical.<br />

He died in 1916 of tuberculosis. Maybe this is why there doesn't seem to be a grave.<br />
<br />
I happened to find the info on a site I spent countless hours on: Newfoundland Grand Bay. The page was added late 2011...which was probably after I had exhausted my search of this website.<br />
<a href="http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/death-reg-bk-7-1915-1916-p-390-396-blp.shtml">http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/death-reg-bk-7-1915-1916-p-390-396-blp.shtml</a><br />
<br />
Whewww. Aren't you relieved?! HA This goes to show you have to revisit your sources because new stuff is always going up. RIP, grand uncle Walter.<br />
