Ancestors
Summer of 1928
My great grandmother Mary Deal Nugent
about 70 years of age.
My great
grandmother Mary Deal was born in
Shawnee lands near the
Cahokia Mounds in
Illinois.
She married William J
Nugent on Aug 19, 1878
in Shelby
County, Indiana.
Their nine
children were:
Gertrude
Phoebe
Lilly B.
born July 1879
Ollie E.

Rhoda A.
was born November 24, 1884
and married
Wilson Wright August 2, 1905

and married
William Nave May 1, 1914
Savilla
Pearl born June 1892
James H.

Summer of 1962
My grandmother Bertha Nugent Weintraut
about 76 years of age in Spencer, Indiana.
My ancestors
were Nugents,
Deals,
Driscolls,
Brummages,
Weintrauts and Skirvins.
They came
from many states including,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
West
Virginia, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.
Among
these ancestors were Shawnee,
Cherokee
and Wyandot American Natives and my
European ancestry of Irish,
Scottish and Prussian.
Summer of 1999
My mother Lois Weintraut Vermillion and me
on board the Coast Guard Cutter Eagle
in
New London, Connecticut.
Finding my
ancestors has been a journey
filled with
wonder and reward. Yet,
the
discovery
of their history and individual stories
has been largely due to several outside
factors.
I owe a
tremendous debt of gratitude to the
extensive
genealogy world that now exists
on the
Internet, the
generosity of my relatives
and the
kindness of a few absolute strangers.
