| (Witness) Note | Louisa Macalester Nevins; She talked about "cousin" Katherine Harvey. Katherine was the daughter of Fred Harvey (restaurant fame) and Josephine Lytle Blair (daughter of General Blair of Leavenworth). Was Josephine the daughter of Kate Medary? According to Aunt Louisa, Katherine Harvey was related to us through Samuel Medary. In my trip to Katherine Harvey's house, I was told the portrait of Samuel Medary was at the home of Mrs Marshall Neal in South Pasadena. Mrs Neal was the mother of the late Wm Perry. Jane Overback Perry is his widow. Jane was questioned Mar 1997 but doesn't remember the portrait which was lost in the estate. Her granddaughter did do some genealogy work - review that for Medary. Mrs William Cooling Perry III, 8 Torrey Pines Lane, Newport Beach 92660 | |
| Birth* | 12 August 1827 | Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio, Kathyrn Basset had birth date as 1829. I assume that this was a guess based on the census info (which does not seem to constrain age to within +/- one year). I'm going with the apparant certainty of the IGI, together with the fact that Medary is not a common surname.1 |
| Marriage* | October 1844 | William Wallace Warden1 |
| Census1880* | 1880 | US Census, Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio, Catherine Warden age 50 b. Ohio (father b. OH, mother b. OH) keeps house and is head of household. Her son, Frank Warden age 24 b. OH is a Typesetter (which suggests that he works for his grandfather, the publisher Samuel Medary). No one else in household (no servents), so Catharine is not prosperous... and there is no sign of her (former?) husband William Wallace Warden.2 |

| Source* | History of Columbus, Franklin County, OH, Vol. 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- page 54 DR. THOMAS R. SPARROW. Dr. Sparrow was the son of Thomas Sparrow, who was one of the most noted lawyers in Ohio in his day, and was prominent in the banking and business development of Columbus. He was born in this city, December 16, 1850. After a course in the public chools, his academic education was pursued at Racine, Wisconsin, and, later, in preparation for a professional career, he matriculated in Starling Medical College, from which he was graduated with the class of 1873. Dr. Sparrow became the first regularly appointed city physician of Columbus and was also an assistant physician at the State Hospital in this city. Later, on account of failing health, he went to Colorado where he practiced his profession for three years. After his return to Columbus, he relinquished the practice of medicine, and engaged in outdoor and business pursuits to the time of is death, which occurred on the 24th of May, 1896. In was in 1872 that Dr. Sparrow was united in marriage to Miss Laura M. Medary, also a native of this city and a daughter of Hon. Samuel Medary, statesman, legislator and journalist who for many years was a distinguished resident of the capital. Dr. and Mrs. Sparrow became the parents of six children of whom four are living: Flora M., now at home with her mother; William M., a resident of Chicago, Illinois; Thomas, living in Dayton, Ohio; and Elizabeth S., at home. Dr. Sparrow was possessed of brilliant intellectual qualities, and of a kindly, modest and retiring disposition. In religion, he held to the tenets of the Roman Catholic faith. Mrs. Sparrow still survives her husband and yet makes her home in Colmbus, where she has spent her entire life and where she has an extensive circle of friends and acquaintances. | |

This must be the Surveyor General's Office. The Surveyor General was the Gov't official responsible for surveying and granting title to Gov't land in the West, so Jacob Medary was working in the Gov't land office.2 |
