Finding Faulkner: The Progeny | Julie Ann Hagerman {Gen 4}


It started, as good quests always do, with a family tale.


Julie Ann Hagerman (Eliza Marie, Robert, Samuel, William) was born in Springfield, Greene Co, Missouri, October 20th 1869, to parents Eliza Marie Faulkner and Jacob Hagerman.

Julie Ann married Charles S Barnett (1866-1944) on December 21st 1892 in Labette Co., Kansas.

The couple had four children:

  • Charles Augustus Barnett b. 19 Dec 1894 d. 1959 m. Eva Belle Allison
  • UFN Barnett b. UNK d. UNK
  • Mabel Barnett b. 16 Aug 1898 d. 1991 m. Guylio Miller no issue
  • Bessie Barnett b. 16 Apr 1900 d. 1 Aug 1972 m. Ferman R Griffin

Julie Ann was born in Missouri while her family was en route to Kansas. She may have met her husband through her brother-in-law George Wood, her sister Ursilla's husband, as he was a boarder and farm hand in the household of Charles Barnett's family. 

Julie Ann and Charles traveled West to California, presumably with sister Ursilla and her husband George, as their first child was born in Ventura, California, the same year and city as Ursilla's first child.

Whatever the reason for the journey West, by 1898 the couple was back in Kansas, where their last two daughters were born. To date it is unclear as to the identity or birth/death year of the fourth child, only that Julie Ann declares she is the mother of four children (3 living) on the 1910 US Census.

Husband Charles was a carpenter by trade, employed by various factories. 

The family moved to Madison Co, Illinois around 1910 and there they remained.

Julie Ann Hagerman Barnett died March 2nd 1936 and is buried in St John's Cemetery in Granite City, Madison Co, Illinois. She was 66 years old.

Charles Sampson Barnett died in St Louis, MO on Aug 18th 1944 and is buried alongside his wife in St John's Cemetery. Charles was 77 years old.

Finding Faulkner: The Progeny | Ursilla A Hagerman {Gen 4}



It started, as good quests always do, with a family tale.


Ursilla A Hagerman (Eliza Marie, Robert, Samuel, William) was born in Monroe Twp., Kosciusko Co, Indiana, August 13th 1861, to parents Eliza Marie Faulkner and Jacob Hagerman.

Ursilla married George A Wood (1855-1937) on January 29th 1886 in Labette Co, Kansas. This was a second marriage for George, presumably divorced.

The couple had two children:

  • Chester Avah Wood b. 31 Jan 1894 d. 1 Nov 1941 m. Pearl E Castleberry
  • Victor Darwin Wood b. 11 Nov 1899 d. 8 Mar 1962 m. Elsie M Castleberry

George Wood was a farmer in Greene Co, Illinois. He was married first to Sarah King and had two children with her. Prior to his marriage to Ursilla George must have divorced Sarah as both are remarried to other spouses by 1892. George's first two children remained with their mother and step father, residing in McLean Co, Illinois.

George appeared to have left his farm and home in 1885, as he turned up in March of that year on the Kansas census, as a single farmer in Labette Co. The following January George married Ursilla and the couple headed west. Their first child, Chester, was born in Ventura, California in 1894. By 1899, and the birth of their second child, the family had returned to Greene Co, Illinois, and George's farm, where they remained.


Ursilla A Hagerman Wood died January 9th 1929 at the age of 67. She is buried in Richwoods Cemetery in Athensville, Greene Co, Illinois.

George A Wood died 7 years later on August 22nd 1937. George was 82. He is buried in Richwoods Cemetery alongside his wife.

George W Faulkner (Harrison H, Robert, Samuel, William) was born in Cass Co, Michigan September 1st 1869, to parents Harrison Horton Faulkner and Alvina Akerly.

George married (1) Vinnie Reist (1876-1944) in Eden, Mason Co, MI February 1st 1893. He married (2) UNK (?-1918) about 1912 whereabouts unknown. He married (3) Bertha Merritt (1889-?) in Grand Rapids, MI September 21st 1920. He married (4) Anna Boom (1869-1933) in Grand Rapids, Kent Co, MI on April 27th 1922.

George had trouble staying married. He claimed to have divorced Vinnie, wife #1, in 1911 which brings up the question of paternity with son George Lyle. He married briefly wife #2, who is as yet nameless and supposedly died in 1918 (according to George). George married for a third time Bertha Merritt a woman 20 years his junior. George and Bertha divorced four months later in January of 1921. George married a fourth time widow Anna (Boom) Tazlaar. They stayed married until Anna's death in 1933. George tried again, marrying for the fifth time widow Dena H (Speer) Stem. They remained married until George's death.

Vinnie herself was remarried twice. First in 1924 to David Sturtevant who deserted her shortly after the marriage. Vinnie filed for divorce in May 1926 and married again in June 1926 to Frank E Harkness. They remained married until Vinnie's death.

George W Faulkner died May 15th 1940 and is buried in the Greenwood Cemetery in Marion, Osceola Co, MI with his daughter Florence.

Vinnie Reist Faulkner Sturtevant Harkness died Jan 25 1944 and is buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in Muskegon, Muskegon Co, MI alongside her husband Frank Harkness.
