Transcription of
handwritten letter dated July 7th, 1931-- additions and corrections
still being made-- from the Hemphill Box, May 2009. My comments
in
brackets [ ]. jth/jeanne taylor hemphill
<>FROM: Jennie Hemphill Morton [my
great
grand aunt lived in Peoria 1857-1941, dau of Robert M. Hemphill ( b.
10 May 1826 "Culdary" Antrim, Ireland)]
TO: Jeannette Taylor
Hemphill [her sister in law, my
paternal grandmother]
[further ed. note: "Culdary" could be Coolderry. Studying
satellite maps, knowing that uncle Daniel McAfee came from Ballymoney,
there is a Coolderry (both a North and South Coolderry) a few miles
Northwest of Ballymoney]
My dear Jeannette,
Your good letter
received
– and was glad to hear from you. And am glad too that you are all
about as usual. I am somewhat short on the history of the
Hemphill
family. Cousin Margaret [Harris] Pierce [b 1856], of
Lincoln
[City] Neb. at one time was getting data for a family tree but how much
she got I never knew. I had asked her at one time about it but
did
not get much information. [along left edge: What branch did
Victor Hemphill belong to?]
[p. 2]
Grandfather
[William] Hemphill
[d. 1856, IRE per descendant W. Dwight Pierce] was a tailor. He
was
crippled and grandmother [Jane McAfee Hemphill 1786 - 1872]
used
to help him with his work. There were four children: Margaret,
James,
Robert and Jane. Jane died when nine yrs old. Grandfather
had
a brother who was a minister. When father [Robert
M Hemphill] and aunt [Margaret
Hemphill] came,
they went to a brother of Grandma’s [Jane McAfee
Hemphill]
who lived at Louisville KY. And father was so fond of these
people--
Uncle Daniel and [p. 3] Aunt Rachel McAfee. They had a
family
of seven[?] children. Uncle Daniel was married three times and
there
were 14[?] children. He died either at Pana [Christian Co. IL]
or
Vandalia [Fayette Co. IL]. [ed. note,
probably Pana;
1st wife Rachel and Daniel McAfee buried Pisgah, Morgan Co. IL; stones
say Ballymoney, Antrim IRE]
There were two
cousins
of father’s who lived in Philadelphia. One, Wm, was a tobacco
merchant.
He had three sons--Clemente, Wm, and Julian. [William
Kerr Hemphill b abt 1822 PA- d. 2 Apr 1882; wife Sarah J McCune b ~1828
d. 22 Jun 1896
PA;
son Clement b~1851; Wm J b~1853; Alexander Julian b Aug 23, 1856; Mary
R 1858-d. 10 Mar 1868]
Will [Hemphill]
and
his mother [Sarah]
visited at[?]
Father’s [Robert
M Hemphill] in 1882. The wife and daughter of
the
other cousin—I don’t remember his given name—came also to Peoria while
(p. 4) Will [Hemphill] and his
mother were there. [by 1882 Sarah was widow of
W.K. Hemphill; their son Will may have been the visitor with his mother
Sarah.] Her name
was Mary and the daughter’s name was
Agnes and they were very high hat. [Probably
Mary
J Hemphill widow of Robt J Hemphill by 1880, dau Agnes]
During the time
that [husband] Arthur [Morton]
and I were at Springfield 1911 to 1914 a next door neighbor had a
sister
who was married to a Rev. Hemphill. They were on their wedding
trip
and one day she mentioned hearing from the sister, and she mentioned (Page
5) The name, and they were visiting his people in Ireland. I
asked what place and she said County “Atrim”. That was the county
that father was from. This family were from ____ [possibly says
Carlinville].
Will had an acquaintance at Birmingham, Alabama by the name that he had
visited. In the phone book is a John B Hemphill. I found
the
enclosed letter some time ago and thought [thot] that I would send it
to
[p. 6] Chester [Hemphill, Jeannette's
husband] as
it surely belonged to him. I hope Robert Chester [Hemphill,
my
father] will receive great benefit from this trip, for it will be
better
for the out door living. And Mary and Billie [dad's siblings]
are
with you at home.
The Nowlands [Bob
and Minnie Hemphill Nowland, Jennie's sister] are about as
usual. [Their
son] Bob and wife] Esther are still at Camp Brooke but
hope
soon to be at the new field—Randolph where Bob will have his photo work
again. [Daughter] Jane took the prize [p. 7] at a doll
parade. Her mother dressed her as a rose. She has had mumps
and measles so is coming on fine.
I am sorry to
hear of Frank [Byrnes] and Katie’s [Wm
Hemphill's
wife Ophelia's sister Katie and husband in Jacksonville] ill
luck and hope that matters will be better than they are. Those
who
have had means are finding things much different these strenuous times.
Thanks for your
kind
invitation but home is the best place for me, this hot weather.
With much love, Jennie [Hemphill
Morton]
[p. ?] Father’s
father was
Wm. and was born May 10 1824, came to America in 1839 a boy of
15?.
Aunt Margaret Hemphill Harris was 17 [b.
1822] and they came with friends, Mr and
Mrs. James McKinley. The McKinleys had a daughter who was the
wife
of a Presbyterian minister at Champaign some years ago, and they (and
they)
and Cousin Mary [June Harris]
Bragg were close friends.

the Highway Department, and at the same time entered into the retail
coal trade. He served one term as Chairman of the Democratic City

Secretaryship of the Board of Control. He died in the prime of life,
