CRESPIN
I am researching my family tree and have documented and traced back to
Gregorio Crespin b.abt. 1707 who married Maria Rosalia Blea in
1794. Gregorio was living in Santa Fe all of his life. The problem I am facing
is documenting Gregorios parents. Fray Angilico Chavez (1910-1996), Origins of
New Mexico Families in the Spanish Colonial Period, Jose Esquibel's Book, The
Royal Road and others state that Cristobal Crespin is likely his father, however
when researching Cristobals family line I see that his family (according to the
LDS records) is the son of Miguel de la Cruz de Lara and Juana de Ancizo from
Zacatecas Mexico but the surnames do not match. I am finding conflicting
information from this era as to whether:
1 - is Cristobal Crespin the father of Gregorio Crespin and if so, who was the
mother and where can I find documentation of this - and -
2 - was Cristobal Crespin actually Cristobal de la Cruz Crespin (as Joseph
Crespin son of Gregorio Crespin was listed in baptismal and census records as
Jose de la Cruz Crespin as well as Jose and Josef Crespin) since the parents
were Miguel de la Cruz de Lara and Juana de Ancizo? Kirk Crespin

NEFTZER
August 7, 1990. His body was cremated and sent to his relatives in Clermont
County, Ohio. I understand that his ashes were later buried at Calvary Cemetery
in Clermont County. He was born in Clermont County, Ohio, on August 26, 1911,
so he was 79 years old at his death. There are no closer family relatives than
cousins, as far as I know. He never married and his parents and siblings who
might have known his final information have all passed on. He was visiting
relatives or friends in New Mexico when he died. That is as much information as
I have on him. I obtained his SS-5 record from the Social Security
Administration, but I have been unable to find anything else. Any information,
or assistance to locate his final information in New Mexico, would be so greatly
appreciated. Please e-mail me, Carol Jones, at
[email protected]. Thank you, Carol

RICHARDSON Family Photographs
I've "rescued" a group of photographs including many belonging to the RICHARDSON
Family. The first is a photograph of "Grandma RICHARDSON" which was taken in
Lampasas, Texas sometime between 1908-1912. The lady in the photograph appears
to be in her 70's at the time it was taken. The second photograph is also
identified as "Grandma RICHARDSON" and was taken in front of a house in Waco, TX
sometime before 1908 and notes the address as 1026 N. 18th Street or 1102 N.
18th Street referring to a change in addresses that the City of Waco made after
the family moved to Waco.
The third photograph is of Mary, Hugh, and John RICHARDSON taken in 1869 and
addressed to Cousin Lizzie on April 29, 1869. There is no studio location noted
on this photograph, however, the three appear to be siblings ranging in age from
6-15 years. The fourth is also a photograph of Mary, Hugh, and John RICHARDSON,
taken in March 1885 at the Maxwell's Studio in Mt. Ayr, Iowa. The three appear
to be in their 20's and 30's at the time this photograph was taken.
The fifth photograph is of a group of 6 young men with one identified as "Uncle
Hugh", the same Hugh RICHARDSON which appears in the other photographs. This
photograph was taken at the James Studio in Iowa City, IA, probably sometime in
the 1880's with Hugh appearing to be in his 20's at the time.
The sixth photograph is of J.H. RICHARDSON and was taken at the Maxwell Studio
in Mt. Ayr, IA and is dated 1886. I believe this is the same man previously
identified as John RICHARDSON in earlier photographs. He appears to be in his
30's or 40's at the time the photograph was taken. Another unidentified
photograph from the Shroyer & Barnhart Studio in Mt. Ayr, IA appears to be an
earlier photograph of "Grandma RICHARDSON", probably taken in the 1870's or
1880's with the subject appearing to be in her 50's at the
time.
Three additional photographs are all of Sidney A. KEYES identified as Grandma
RICHARDSON's brother. These are photographs taken at studios in Michigan and
Iowa. Three additional photographs are taken in the H.B. Rice Studio which I
believe was in DeWitt, Nebraska and are identified as "Mama" and Aunt Kate
MILLER. An additional unidentified photograph with no location appears to be
another photograph of the woman identified as "Mama".
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful group of
treasures can be returned to the family. If you are a member of this RICHARDSON
Family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

SAVAGE
I live in Ohio and I am researching your area, especially Lincoln County. My
ancestor John Savage served in the U S Armed services at Fort Stanton, Lincoln
County, from 1878 until his discharge in 1881. I have been unable to locate him
after this date. The National Archives in Washington D C have no records of him.
The 1880 U S census places him in Fort Stanton Lincoln county, and states him
as single, white, age 30 born Scotland. If anyone can guide me to a source of
information about my John, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Gwen

TOLMICH (TALMADGE) and BENEVIDES
I'm researching the history of Joseph Tomas Tolmich and Maria Guadalupe
Benevides. Joseph Tomas was my Grandfather five Generations back. He was born in
Baranza Megye Turkey in 1821 and came to the U.S. in 1849. He was stationed in
the military at Fort Union New Mexico Territory in the late 1850's. He Married
Maria Guadalupe Benivedes in 1855 in Albuquerque. Maria Guadalupe was born in
Cebollita New Mexico in 1823. It is said that she was a full blooded Apache
Indian. We are searching for any information regarding the Benevides family, the
location of Cebollita New Mexico, and which Indian tribe her family was from.
Any information would be most appreciated. Thank You; Frank Guerrero.
