abt. 1790 somewhere on LI (possibly Huntington or Southold). Mary
is the daughter of Thomas Mapes of Southold and I am trying to locate the
parents of Ananias who was born abt. 1770. I have found numerous
references to Annanias Conklins, a number of whom could be Ananias's father,
but I do not know which is which. Is there anyone available who could
help me figure this out?
Sincerely,
Jen Herlihy Rakeman

I am researching Mrs. Jeanie
Gooch.
Mrs. Jeanie Gooch was the
cook/housekeeper for Prime Minister Mackenzie King of Canada for the years
1946 to his death in the 1950's.
According to the Prime Minister's
diaries, the following information on Jeanie Gooch was obtained:
October 22, 1946 - dictated
letter to Mrs. Gooch of Long Island seeing if she is willing to be engaged
as a cook. The following are passages from his diaries which mention
dates and places in New York, Long Island, Jamestown and Hamilton and a
club called the "Tamahac" (or Tamarack) in Hamilton (does it exist
today?).
I presume her children's
surnames are "Simpson". I believe her maiden surname was Hunter and
that she may have remarried a Gooch when she was in South Africa.
Anything anyone could do to put me in the right direction to find her and
her descendants in New York would be greatly appreciated. Regards
Cheryl.
October 25, 1946 - when I
got back to the Biltmore, I was pleased to discover that Mrs. Gooch, who
had been cook at the Tamaharic (Tamahak) (Tamarack) Club of Hamilton, had
come in answer to a letter. ...There is no question in the world about
her efficiency as a cook. She has been twenty years at the
Tamaharic Club, (lived in Scotland). When she left the club the members
voted her congratulations on a motion by General Newbourne. Mrs.
Hendyne (Hendrie) knows her well and feels satisfied she will be exceptionally
good for Laurier House. I am sure that the fact that she came in
from her son's residence today to speak about the position makes clear
her readiness to take the position.
November 5, 1946 - special
delivery letter from Mrs. Jean Gooch from N.Y.L.I.
December 30, 1946.
Letter from New York...it was from a Mrs. McLaughlin with whom Mrs. Gooch
has been employed as a cook ever since. She went to N.Y. at a salary
of $50, a week.
February 23, 1947 - Tonight
Mrs. Gooch came up and talk for a little while. She is kindly and
quite entertaining. She told us tonight of having lived with the
Duke of Roxborough in Scotland and later to have gone to South Africa with
Lord Chamberlain. I wish I could have secured her services about
10 years ago...
April 26, 1947 - ...Lily
Hendrie, of Hamilton, and Brigadier and Mrs. Farmer, with whom she is staying,
come for afternoon tea. Lily went out to speak to Mrs. Gooch.
June 2, 1947 - ...spent a
little time with Mrs. Gooch planning dinner for the President (of USA)
and luncheon for the Cardinals....
June 15, 1947. ...had
a talk with Mrs. Gooch. ...It gave her great pleasure to know what
others thought of the President's dinner. ...She then gave me a little
history of her early life and of her Aunt who had been as a mother to her
and who was now very old. (Aunt, Maria Hunter, was housekeeper for Duke
and Duchess of Roxburgh, at Floors Castle in Scotland).
September 20, 1947 - took
(Lady Sybil) to see Mrs. Gooch. Lady Sybil's brother, Lord Howick,
had been a.d.c. in South Africa to Lord Selbourne when he was G.G.
Mrs. Gooch was then Mrs. Simpson and was on the staff. She had known
Lord Howick very well.
January 25, 1950 - ...Mrs.
Gooch's son who had dropped in to see his mother on coming around this
way from New York.
October 28, 1949 -Mrs. Gooch's
neice and her husband, on their wedding trip from Hamilton, dropped in
to thank me for the telegram. I thought she was a perfectly lovely
girl. They were both exceedingly nice.
August 29, 1949 - Mrs. Gooch's
grandson and granddaughter (sic) - 19 and 21 years of age had motored from
Jamestown. N.Y. (left about 3 this morning). She introduced them
to me, then later tonight to ..and me - They are spending the night at
Mountain Lodge. I had not thought about them and Mrs. Gooch said
nothing. I arrange(d) to have them as my guests for the night, breakfast.
Later planned the day for Ottawa tomorrow for Mrs. Gooch to take them to
Laurier House for luncheon - then go on to Toronto (Exhibition) and Hamilton
and then to Jamestown.

Does anyone know the names
of the children of Abraham Cook, born about 1715 and his wife, Sibyl Burnett,
she was the daughter of Ephraim Burnett. They both were probably
born at Southampton, Suffolk, LI, NY. They married on October 3,
1740 in Southampton, LI, NY. They removed to Hampton, Morris County,
NJ, but I am not sure when. They also lived in the Parsippany, Morris,
NJ area.
