Finding Faulkner: The Progeny | Angeline Bruster {Gen 5}

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

Angeline Bruster  (Mary Boak, Achsah, William Bull, James, William) was born in Orange Co, New York, February 1st, 1828, to parents Mary Boak and John Everett Bruster.

Angeline married Eli Horton Young (1829-1876) about 1852, most likely in Orange Co, New York.


The couple had at least three children: all born Lamoine, McDonough Co, Illinois

Eli was born in Orange Co, New York and was a farmer and a merchant in Lamoine, Illinois.

Eli Horton Young died July 20th 1876, he was only 47 years old. Eli is buried in Rosemont Cemetery, Plymouth, Hancock Co, Illinois. 

Angeline appears to have remained a widow, residing in the family home for a time, then removing to Reno Co, Kansas with her son Lewis. Angeline disappeared before 1900, perhaps she remarried?

Angeline Bruster Young died January 6th 1910, location unknown, she was 81 years old. Angeline is buried in Rosemont Cemetery, Plymouth, Hancock Co, Illinois alongside her husband.

Finding Faulkner: The Progeny | James Bruster {Gen 5}

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

James Bruster  (Mary Boak, Achsah, William Bull, James, William) was born in Orange Co, New York, August 17th, 1825, to parents Mary Boak and John Everett Bruster.

James married Eleanor Walker Johnson (1829-1887) about 1852, most likely in Baltimore, Maryland.

The couple had at least three children: all born Baltimore

• Frances Mary Bruster b. 18 Mar 1853 d. 19 Jul 1917 m. Abram Vail Boak 
• Eleanor Johnson Bruster b. 19 Dec 1854 d. Apr 1939 m. Henry C Cromwell no issue
• Angelyn Bruster b. Feb 1856 d. 22 Feb 1944 m. Henry W Wiggins

James migrated to Maryland prior to his marriage, sometime around 1850. He appears to have been in the agricultural implements business. He was listed as registered for the draft in 1863, but I do not think he served. 

James Bruster died July 29th 1870 "in the 45th year of his life" according to his headstone. James is buried in the St Thomas Episcopal Church Cemetery in Owings Mills, Baltimore Co, Maryland.

Eleanor Walker Johnson Bruster died February 28th 1887 at the age of 58. Eleanor is buried in the St Thomas Episcopal Church Cemetery in Owings Mills, Baltimore Co, Maryland, alongside her husband.
