Margaret Jane McWilliams

Margaret Jane N. McWilliams the daughter of Dr. James & Margaret Jane (Maupin) McWilliams was born June 19, 1890 in Kentucky and died January 4, 1907. Jane N married Dillard C. Anderson and is buried in the Richmond Cemetery, Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky in Section H, Lot 93.

The Find a grave website has lovely photos of the tombstone.  I find a clue to the nature of the relationship between Jane N. McWilliams and her husband Dillard C. Anderson. Jane died at the age of 17, and her husband Dillard who was age 23 had his name inscribed on the Tombstone as if his life were over as well.  It is quite common for a couple that has been married a long time to inscribe both names on the tombstone but I have rarely seen it done at such a young age.

Dillard Coleman Anderson the son of Thomas Richard & Margaret Francis (Johnson) Anderson was born June 26, 1883 in Madison County, Kentucky and died January 10, 1952 in Madison County, Kentucky.  It is not known at this time where he is buried.  Records do show a second marriage for Dillard and children.

 

Dr. James McWilliams who was born about 1853 in Kentucky married Margaret J. Maupin in Madison County, Kentucky on November 7, 1877.  Margaret Maupin McWilliams was the daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth Maupin.  Dr. James McWilliams is buried in the McWilliams Cemetery, Madison County, Kentucky. He was born March 5, 1849 and died August 25, 1892. Margaret Maupin McWilliams is also buried in the McWilliams cemetery, she lived from June 3, 1855 until August 19, 1890.

Margaret Jane who lost her mother at little over a month of age, lost her father two years later.  When Dr. James McWilliams died August 25, 1892 he left daughter Cleve 12 years old, son John 8 years old and daughter Margaret Jane age 2. By 1900 the three children were living with an uncle Clay Maupin and their elderly grandmother Elizabeth Maupin 1828 - 1903.

I will update as the story unfolds.

Etsy Apps

     Let me start of by saying team Epsteam had a wonderful Treasury night on Etsy last evening.  It is nice to feel the community though we are all from very different towns and cities.  The treasuries I created, generated over 800 clicks for 32 items of my Epsteam teammates.  It is great to do something nice as a group for each other.

     Today I am learning about Etsy Apps.  I did not realize they existed until I saw a shop that had prices with a line through them and the discounted price show.  This looked very nice and when I could not find information about this feature on the Etsy help site, I turned to the Etsy Help Team.  I used a key word search within the Team's discussions and found that the sale feature was an Etsy app from an outside company.

     Etsy on Sale was the name of the app I was looking for.  I have not yet tested the app I will let you know more later.  I have actually been to busy activating other apps.  I just created a coupon using NerdWallet a wonderful active coupon facility featuring independent businesses from all over the web.

http://www.nerdwallet.com/coupons/indie/

My new coupon there when finished will be here

http://www.nerdwallet.com/coupons/store/familytreeantiques

I will post comments on this post as I go through the Etsy apps if I find anything exciting or useful.

     Etsywishlist seems to be the next interesting app I have found.  It allows you to make a wishlist of items you want people to buy for you or for yourself to buy in the future.  This also allows you to favorite as much as you like and have a more select purchase list here.

http://www.etsywishlist.com/

It turns out after some time, The Nerdwallet is a much better app than the etsywishlist so far for me.

Etsy Teams

Another aspect of selling on Etsy is joining Teams.  Teams serve functions helping others selling in the same category or geographical region. 

The Epsteam (Etsy Pickers & Sellers) has an annual get together on Friday Nights where we make Treasuries to promote each other's items. I made two treasuries and as of a few minutes ago one of my was on the 5th page of overall most trending Etsy Treasuries.

This would look great as a display in any locally owned shop, especially an antique or textile store.

The basket was originally made to hold raw wool in the Southern, Ohio textile mills.
