151 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Suls, Frederick (I1048)
 
152 Fred W. Jones Jr. (October 24, 1924 - October 22, 2000) was a judge of three levels of court in his native U.S. state of Louisiana, based in Ruston in Lincoln Parish.

A native of Rayville in Richland Parish in North Louisiana,

Jones graduated from the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge, he was admitted to the practice of law in 1949. Jones served in the United States Army during World War II and was an assistant staff judge advocate in the Korean War.

Jones was married to the former Anelle Swetman (1927-2009), a daughter of Emory G. Swetman (1901-1963) and the late Ruby F. Stringer Swetman. Jones was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis International, he was a deacon of the First Baptist Church of Ruston and a trustee of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In their later years, they were members of a non-Southern Baptist congregation, the Northminster Church in Monroe, Louisiana; the Joneses had three daughters, Sherryl J. Tucker and husband, Robert, of Baton Rouge, Denise J. Wiltcher and husband, Thomas, of Amarillo, Texas, and Michelle J. Barker and husband, Mark, of Knoxville, Tennessee. There are also three grandchildren.

Jones held the elected position of Ruston city judge from December 1954 until 1966, when he then became judge of the Louisiana 3rd Judicial District for Lincoln and Union parishes, based in Ruston. In 1975, Judge Jones ran for the first time, unsuccessfully, for the Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal, based in Shreveport and encompassing nine parishes, he lost to fellow Democrat Charles A. Marvin, a native of Jonesville in Catahoula Parish who had briefly resided in Jones' Richland Parish but was then the district attorney of Bossier and Webster parishes. In the nine-parish race, Marvin polled 16,106 votes; Jones, 14,521. There was no Republican candidate. Marvin succeeded the retiring Judge H. Welborn Ayres, a native of Natchitoches Parish, who retired at the mandatory age of seventy-five. In 1980, Jones was elected to the Circuit Court of Appeal as a colleague of Judge Marvin, he retired from the court in December 1990.

Jones was a member of the National Council of Juvenile Court Judges and the American Judicature Society,[4] he often spoke out in public forums on the breakdown of the American family. "The most effective deterrent of crime in this country is the strengthening of family ties ... bringing the people of a family together." Similar remarks were often made by other state court judges, including James E. Bolin of Minden and George W. Hardy Jr. of Shreveport.

Jones died two days before his 76th birthday.

153 From an article that I found dated Friday October 7, 1938, Jacob Clitzner's body was washed up onshore at the north breakwater at the naval operating base after failing to return home after missing a doctor appointment. He had been missing since the previous Saturday. It was reported that he had been in poor health. The detective on the case denied a report quoted by officials at the naval base that there was a dent observed on the cranium. He said that there was no mark or any other indication of violence. He was a native of Russia and made his home in Virgina for the past forty years prior to his passing.

**[Latin name for the German Tischtitel, which literally translates to ?table title.? In the German-speaking world, a titulus mensae used to be the term used when a Catholic secular priest was given a promise before his ordination that he would remain materially provided for even if he was no longer able to exercise his priesthood. This was usually done by a foundation or a wealthy person, who would then provide for his maintenance.]

185 JAMES FLACK (1708-1802)

From the History of the Flack Family by Horace E. Flack, 1948, published
in 1972 by Helen Flack Cole:

"The head of one of the Flack families [James] was born in Northern
Ireland in 1708 and came to Pennsylvania about 1733 and married Ann
Baxter soon after landing. To this couple were born 10 children - 9 sons
and 1 daughter. Two of the children named John and William died in
infancy, but two other sons were given these same names. The names of the
sons were John, James, Joseph, Robert, William, Samuel and Benjamin and
the daughter was named Sarah."

"A Family tree has been prepared for some of the members of this
James Flack and shows the following names of sons recurring time and time
again in every generation - James, Joseph, William, John, George, Thomas
- and many of these names occurred even in cases of the children on the
distaff side of the family. One of the direct descendants of this James
Flack, also named James, made a statement at the reunions of 1908 and
1909 to the effect that their ancestors who had emigrated to this country
from Northern Ireland, were Presbyterians and had most likely been driven
out of Scotland at the time of the persecution of the Christians
(Protestants) in that country. The first James Flack lived to be 94 years
of age and the James Flack who prepared the above statement for the
reunion for the Flacks in Pennsylvania said in 1910 (when he was 76 years
of age) that he was one of the fourth generation of the first Flack who
emigrated to America and that there were then about three generations
younger than his and that as the Flacks were generally blessed with large
families, it was almost impossible to get a full genealogy of the
descendant of their ancestor, James Flack, as the number would probably
run into the thousands and would be found residing in many States. . . .
"In this connection, it is interesting to note, that one of the
descendants of James Flack is a career man in the State Department at
Washington and is now American Ambassador to Bolivia." 
Flack, James (I211)
 
186 James Flack (1708-1802) born in Ireland, died in Bucks Co. PA. His son, Thomas Flack (1735-1783), birth place is unclear, married and died in Guilford Co. NC. Unclear how and when James immigrated to the US. Flack, Thomas (I208)
 
187 James McCuistion on FamilySearch (LDS genealogy site): https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/LTHX-T69

The McCuistion line is well documented and can be traced back to Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland (McCuistion - McQuiston - McUisdean - Macdonald)

189 JEROLD HOFFBERGER
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 5 Jan 2020

Jerold Charles Hoffberger (April 7, 1919 - April 9, 1999) was an American businessman. He was president of the National Brewing Company from 1946 to 1973. He was also part-owner of the Baltimore Orioles of the American League from 1954 to 1965, and majority owner from 1965 to 1979.

BIOGRAPHY
Hoffberger was a lifelong resident of Baltimore, Maryland, and was Jewish. He was the only son of his father Samuel, a lawyer who was active in the Democratic Party and a major shareholder and board chairman of National Brewing. His grandfather Charles had been a local merchant who sold wood, coal and ice. Hoffberger attended the University of Virginia. During World War II, he served in the United States Army with the 1st Armored Division in Africa, France and Italy, where he was wounded near Lake Bracciano, northwest of Rome. Jerold Hoffberger was also involved in the Battle of Monte Cassino.

BUSINESS CAREER
The year after the war ended, he was appointed president of the brewery by his father after the death of his predecessor, Arthur Deute. Under the younger Hoffberger's command, National's sales rose from 230,000 barrels in 1946 to two million in 1966.

BALTIMORE ORIOLES
In 1953, when the St. Louis Browns of baseball's American League wanted to move to Baltimore, the nearby Washington Senators, led by Clark Griffith, objected to the potential encroachment on their market. Hoffberger helped ease the way for the move by making his National Bohemian beer a Senators sponsor.[2] When Browns owner Bill Veeck was all but forced to sell the team, Hoffberger and attorney Clarence Miles put together a syndicate that bought the team for $2.5 million and moved it to Baltimore as the Orioles.
Hoffberger was the largest single shareholder in the Orioles, but was initially a silent partner with Miles (1954-1955), James Keelty (1955-1960) and Joe Iglehart (1960-1965). During this time, however, he bought more and more stock until he acquired controlling interest in 1965. He immediately brought in Frank Cashen, National's advertising director, as executive vice president. Under the direction of Cashen and general manager Harry Dalton, the Orioles won four AL pennants and two World Series from 1966 to 1971.
He was a 1996 honoree into the Orioles Hall of Fame, inducted with Cal Ripken, Sr. and Billy Hunter. 400 showed up at the luncheon at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel.
When Baltimore Oriole star Frank Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982, he made reference to Hoffberger. He said that after a game, Hoffberger "wouldn't come over and slap you on the back and say nice game-winning home run, nice double, nice play or whatever. The first words out of his mouth were: 'How are you? How's your family? Is there anything I can do for you?'."

LATER LIFE
National Brewing merged with Canadian brewer Carling in 1975. Hoffberger sold his share of the Orioles to Washington, D.C. lawyer Edward Bennett Williams in 1979.
Hoffberger was known for his charitable contributions, which included assistance to Johns Hopkins Hospital, the University of Maryland and Goucher College. Town & Country magazine estimated in 1983 that he had donated more than $10 million to charities.
In the early 1970s, Hoffberger purchased a farm near Woodbine called Sunset Hill Farm (formerly Helmore Farm) in Howard County, Maryland where he bred Thoroughbred horses for racing. While primarily a breeder, he did race horses on his own, notably winning the 1984 Razorback Handicap at Oaklawn Park Race Track.
Hoffberger died at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, two days after his 80th birthday.

192 JEWISH WOMEN'S ARCHIVE

When I went to work, no woman in our strata of society worked because they wanted to work. I've been working 45 years now and I'm so glad. Life is so much richer. --Lois Blum Feinblatt

Born in 1921 to Baltimore's Hoffberger family, Lois Blum Feinblatt has focused her professional career, volunteer efforts and philanthropy on providing mental health, adoption and mentoring services in Baltimore. Lois married Irving Blum in 1941 while still a student at Hood College. (She later graduated from Goucher College.) After the birth of their three children, Pat, Jeff, and Larry, Lois worked for the Baltimore City Department of Welfare for nine years, screening prospective adoptive parents. In the 1960s, she was one of eight women chosen for a special program at Johns Hopkins University to professionally train housewives as mental health counselors. As a therapist with a specialty in human sexuality, she joined the newly formed staff of the Hopkins Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit, where she has worked for more than 30 years. After her husband died in 1973, Lois married lawyer, Eugene Feinblatt, with whom she shared a wonderful marriage for fifteen years. A true liberal politically and socially, Lois has been a thoughtful philanthropist both within and outside the Jewish community, focusing much of her attention on issues affecting children.

Monroe, Wray Stockton (I88)
 
196 John Boon/Boone was born July 16, 1755 in Virginia to Jacob and Catherine Boon. We have a copy of his will in which he named his children. He gave slaves and tracts of land to his sons. He gave the same to his youngest son, Caleb, along with money to be put to interest and used for his clothing and education when he came of age. Caleb was thirteen years old at the time.

John fought in the Revolutionary War and applied for a pension in 1833, being 78 years old at the time. His first service was from Rowan County, North Carolina in 1774. The Cherokee Nation of Indians were taking up arms and murdering the settlers.

The group Boon was with intercepted those who were providing the Indians with arms and ammunition. They marched to a place called Ninety Six in South Carolina, where they learned that wagons with ammunition for the Indians had recently passed. They caught the Indians and took the wagons, one loaded with powder and two loaded with lead. The men with the wagons ran when Boon and his men approached and one of them fell into the river. He couldn't come out, so Colonel Polk went in after him.

When they returned home, John had spent three months and suffered greatly from the cold. Many of the men had died and most everyone was frost bitten wading home through the deep snow.

His next service was in March 1775. He was drafted to serve under John Barringer. After they organized, they marched to Fayetville to subdue the Scotch who were in favor of the British. When they got to their destination, they learned the Scotch had dispersed and separated, so Boon and his men went home and were dismissed.

His next service was in 1776. He volunteered and was in charge of pack horses. They went to a place called Mulberry Bottom and had a skirmish with some Indians. He assisted in burning Indian towns and supplies. In 1788, he joined the Minute Men. They were held in readiness to march at a moment's notice to save frontier families being massacred by the Indians.

This information was taken from the pension application of John Boon dated November 1833, after the close of the war, Guilford County, North Carolina.

John Boon married Anne Montgomery July, 1832 in Guilford County, N.C. She was his third wife. The other wives were Elizabeth Barringer, daughter of John Barringer that Boon served under during the war, and Anna Starnes, mother of Ann. Anna Boon was allowed 160 acres of bounty land because of her husband's service in the war.

John Boon's daughter, Ann, born September 9,1797, married Elisha Flack and was the great grandmother of Solomon Jocephas Carrell. He was the father of Vera, Wilma and Thelma.
