NOTES:

Due to Arthur Smith's job as a master builder, he was away from home too often and some times so far away, South Africa & New Zealand, therefore his son, William Gilbert Smith, was raised by Amelia's brother, Arthur Sutherland Harrison, and his wife, Clara Flora Batty. Arhur Smith was well known for his building mastery. I did find a page which gives him credit for building Moorsland in Brisbane, Qld.

This journal is for my husband, Murray Arthur Smith. It will contain information on the Smith family tree.

I descend from John "Boss" Lynn (1794-aft 1880), who was the son-in-law of John Dubberly, who appears in St. Peters Parish in the 1800 and 1810 censuses in Beaufort District, SC. In 1820, both John Lynn and John Dubberly appear in Tattnall Co, GA census as next door neighbors. A Joseph Linn (M26-45) appears as head of a family in the 1800 Beaufort District, SC census, page 094. Could this be a relative of my John Lynn? Let me hear from you if you have any info to share on the LYNN family of Beaufort Co, SC and Tattnall Co, GA. 1 April 2001

http://bz.llano.net/gowen/hussey_millenium/husseyms_108.html
John Hussey (H6/1.1), son of Edward Hussey (H7/1.1) and Elizabeth Hussey, was born 1755-74 in South Carolina, according to Lina Clare Isanhour, a descendant and certified genealogist of Smyrna, Georgia.

He was married about 1798 probably in the area which later became Chester County, South Carolina to Barbara Sheffield (S6/1.2), daughter of Arthur Sheffield (S7/1.1) and Lucretia Hogan Sheffield (H7/1.10, according to Isanhour research. Barbara Sheffield (S6/1.2) was born in 1779 in South Carolina. It is reported that a sister of Barbara Sheffield (S6/1.2) was married second to a Hussey, thought to be a relative of John Hussey (H6/1.1). This couple remained in South Carolina.

------------------------------------------------------

From Frank Perry

found several Dubberlys living in Appling Co. and Wayne Co. GA.

Got to be related to Flornoy and Doris Dubberly.

Walter L. Dubberly, b. 1875

Herschel Alonzo ?Lonnie? Dubberly, b. 1877.

Taft Addison ?Bud? Dubberly, b. 1890.

Manning ?Mannie? ?Bud? Jasper Dubberly, b. 1859, Glennville, Tattnall Co., but moved to Appling Co. d/ 1933. Surrency.

Jesse Thomas Dubberly, b. 1892.

William Marvin Dubberly, b. 1895.

Theodore ?Theo? Marshall Dubberly, b. 1807, Baxley, GA.

Jasper Eugene Dubberly, b. 1903.

Flavel Ansley ?Fogarty? ?Foggie? Dubberly, b. 1909.

-------------------------------------------------------
Incidentally, we traced Dubberlys back to French Protestant Huguenots named D?Oublet.

They fled to Protestant England when persecuted by Roman Catholics in France.

James Duberly learned tailoring from father, George, and secured contract from Crown to make British uniforms in his textile mills.

He owned 5 mansions across England and made uniforms for Brits who fought American colonies in American Revolution.

We have a drawing documenting one of his mansions.

Capt. Henry Duberly, paymaster, British Army, sailed 1854 with wife Frances Locke on troop ship to war in Russian Crimea.

Frances sat on a horse on a hill with British Officers watching the Charge of the Light Brigade in the valley below.

We have a copy of her journal/book and photographs.

Lived there about 100 years, but some migrated to Talbot Co., MD and Accomack Co., VA before 1696 from English village Ross-On-Wye, Herefordshire.

located on Wye River bordering Wales. My wife?s sister & her husband visited Ross in 2003. They found

Dubberleys listed in phone book.

We found the name spelled variously, D?Oublet, Duberly, Dubberly, Dubberley, Douberly, Douberley, and Doubrley.

There was no compulsory schooling so people spelled it the way it sounded to them. All are related!



Cordially,

Frank

In my mother's own words.....

I am not really sure what our origins are, yes grand pa, mother side, he said his folks came from Java. I imagine he marry to Pilipino decent. About which Island, that I do not know. In those days natives from different Island take their bank boat filled with native food that their Island produces, like Root, sweet potato, fruits or animals. Once they reach each Island people come out to greet the stranger or already known traveler to see what he have. Then they select and trade what this person did not have in his Islands.

Some have knowledge of making sea water turn into salt. So if they do not know how to make it, it will be trade for something others did not have. Salt is very vital to dry fish with to preserve from spoiling and keeping for longer time. Rooted plant also a vital main food for them where one not know how to plant and produce rice already husk, or some will be trade in for seedling, like corn, or clay pottery or coconut utensil made out of coconut shell, or coconut leaves weave into mat, or nipa roofing for hut, or bamboo striping turn into flooring or walling. Times these traders will stay for a good while to observe and learn their knowledge weaving, building and creating things that in our time now it was technology.

People in those days never go to school, but they do learn things in their own native way. And they are more than willing to share and show how their technic improve their Island and way of life. There is no Religion or Church to attend to, they only know nature's myths and they have that much respect in all living things that even include plants. Would you believe in those days people don't just pick or take any thing from some where, like gubat( forest or mountain) with out saying, "Excuse me, may I?" before helping it self? They respect everything especially the Goddess that look after natures and if it have disrespect and abuse, the rain, flood, fire, thunder and lightening is the sign of her displeasure and wrath for those that disobey. Earthquake is the sign of it anger that send winds we call storm, typhoon, or ipo- ipo (tornado). Calamities considered a punishment from mother natures. The mountain like hump or dirt pile we have always told it was the house of the nunong punso, now they call it termites nest. We are told to have respect for that too, or else if it was destroyed, something will happen to us. It might be a myth, but we do not dare up to this point in time.

Natives know how to do things before Columbus discovered the world. They weave and make their own clothing and sew them in their own technique way, like animal or fish bone for a needle. They dye the material out from the sap of the trees or fruits, they do not have detergent to wash their utensil but get it clean using ashes from wood fire or sand to scrape the black soot off the pot. They do not have electricity but they do have lantern made out of coconut shell half fill with combine coconut oil and water. They have piece of wood floating pinning an wick that is lighted and serve as light for the home. They have no match in those days but they know how to start fire by rubbing stone or stick together to start a fire.

There is no medicine but the old native way and the old and the wisest become the community leaders and advisor and doctors. There is no such thing like harlot, or lacking of morality. Every one live up to their respectful life and honor. If one got out of line or commit crimes, he was brought to the elders and decide on his fate. There is never a force marriage, either it was arrange by both parents, or the female and males falling in love and will have to court her according to the traditional way. Every wedding or birth of child is celebrated. A complete strangers will always be welcome into the community or their homes, and be serve in their best as if it was a special guest.

I guess that was their mistakes when they welcome the world's discoverer Columbus. They not only wear out their welcome, they deceived them in a very conniving way by brain washing some that are easy to be fool, giving them rule and position, more like a puppet. Then use them against their own people, take over their land and harvest and asset. They made them attend the Catholic church. Then start taxing them of their own asset and land. A complete stranger that came to invade their land and changed their way and belief and then are force to adopt their way of life as the superior high and mighty, who treated the native the lowest kind possible, the Indios!

For all those years the people slowly lost their own true identity, they become the sub-servent to the Spanish and their life have never been the same. They live in in total misery and poverty they barely have enough left from their harvest, most of it goes to pay the tax. Those did not pay, their land or asset like animals will be confiscated. If they do not have that, either they go to jail or one of their daughter will be taken away to serve in their homes and be sexually abuse. The people never have the courage to complain and the leaders have become voiceless, afraid of being punish or vanish. Daughters that get pregnant, get to be put in the dungeon. there are lots of stories that have happen in those time how the poor girls keep in prison and give birth. Some become mentally ill cause from the lord that get them pregnant, they also have to go through the next higher up to abuse them and aside from the guard too. Some girls dug holes and push their baby out side the dungeon wall. Stories how some will hear a baby cry, find it and raise it. The abuse and mistreatment of the native people cause some of the elders to congregate and make a blood pact to rise against the invader of the land. That is how the resurrection (rebellion) begin. Total abuse of power by the higher up cause displeasure among the nation and it breed hate and anger that causes unrest and revolution.

"Birds of a feather flock together", this should be the family motto! The family tree is truly full of birds; Hawkins, Howle, Byrd, Sparrow, & Parrot are surnames that first come to mind. There is even a tale of Birdtown, South Carolina where most of these families lived way back when. I am still hunting information about this particular town.

The Hawkins/Howle family is like a vine entwined a few times over on the same branch. My father is his own first cousin! The Howle line has been traced as far back as the 1600's/1700's. The Hawkins line comes up against a brick wall in the 1800's, and hence, the line I am desperately researching the most. There have been claims made that our Hawkins' line can be traced to Sir John Hawkins, but there have been some minor/major discrepancies in others' researches as to who married who and who was born, leaving doubt as to the accuracy of those researches.

To be continued....

Until I discover further information, to date, most of the family originally lived in the Bulacan region. It wasn't until my father got stationed at Clark Air Base that the families began to relocate to the Angeles City, Pampanga area.

Benigno Apala (wife Petra came from Hagonoy, Bulacan) fathered Rosenda, Hipolita (aka Lola Pilar, my grandmother), Gregoria, Magdelena, Juliana, & Felicidad. Benigno Apala's father lived somewhere in Borneo or Java and would take his boat of goods to trade in the Philippines. A storm left him stranded in the Philippines. That family then resided in Alabang, Rizal.

Rosenda married Jianong and had 5 children: Chaning (Zeny or Zenaida), Cely, Boy, Ito, and one other. Gregoria (Goring) married Nemecio Del Rosario and had one child, Leonora(married Maximo and had 7 or 8 kids. Magdelena married Antonio Santos and had 2 children: Genaro (married Ester and had twins) & Consolacion (married a Whitefield and had Bonjing)> Juliana married Pidong (Pedro) Guevarra, a Visayan, and had two children: Bobby & Pedro. Felicidad married Brite (Alfredo) Benitez and had 4 children: Tony (who had 3 wives - an American, Mexican, and filipina), Junior, Evelyn (married an Iranian and had one girl, Rocky) and Norma. Aunt Julie remarried a Chinese named Lee.

Damaso Oblea married Rosario Francisco & fathered Clara, Eustacio (who married my grandmother, Pilar Apala), and Rosita (married Gonzales and moved to Chicago & had 2 children: Edwina and Frederico (married Linda).

Eustacio & Pilar married and sired Ligaya, Benjamin, Daniel (died at birth), Luzviminda (my mother), Mario (died at birth), Nicanor, & Anastacia (died at 7 mths). Eustacio died in 1947. They lived in Sampaloc, Balik-Balik. Eustacio built 3 different homes and sold them. The last home was in Arguelles, Santa Cruz. Later Lola Pilar met a chinese man and had Nelson and Edna.

Ligaya Oblea married Peter Arena and had a baby boy that died at birth. Then she married a Danish merchant marine, Eric Jensen?, & moved to Denmark. They had no children but adopted two boys, Geri & Pogi(Gilberto, son of Nicanor).

Benjamin Oblea married Estrella(from Visaya). Their children are Diane, Roger, Ligaya, Vilma, & Luzviminda, and Carmelita.

Luzviminda Oblea married Bruce Fredrick Hawkins. They have two daughters, Emelinda Marie (me) & Eleonor Francis.

Nicanor married ?, and had Gilberto aka Pogi, who was later adopted by Aunt Ligaya. Nic then married ? and had more children (info later). Apparently Nick had many women thru the years, all giving him children.

Will add more info after researching, altho any research efforts to date have been fruitless. Hoping that this journal will capture someone's similar interest, and might add to my research or lead me on the right paths.
