Finding Faulkner: The Progeny | Frederick J Faulkner {Gen 4}

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

Frederick Jackson Faulkner (Nelson, John M, Samuel, William) was born in Tioga Co, New York, April 13th 1879, to parents Nelson Faulkner and Martha Shaw.

Frederick married Claire Edith Hanna (1880-1952) December 28th 1909 in Lock Haven, Clinton Co, Pennsylvania.

The couple had at least three children:

• Louise Viola Faulkner b. 29 Jan 1911 d. 12 Dec 2001 never married
• Madelyn M Faulkner b. 17 May 1913 d. Jul 1973 m. George C Shaffer no issue
• Freda Claire Faulkner b.  2 Apr 1920 d. 2001 never married

Frederick was born in Tioga Co, New York and moved with his family to Pennsylvania when he was one year old. 

Fred worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad his entire life. He had an 8th grade education. He was drafted in both WWI and WWII but I am unsure whether he saw combat. 

The couple made their home in Clinton Co, PA, first in Renovo and later in Lock Haven.

Claire Edith Hanna Faulkner, a diabetic, died February 23rd 1952 at the age of 71. She is buried in Flemington Cemetery in Flemington, Clinton Co, PA.

Frederick J Faulkner died March 11th 1956 of Pancreatic Cancer. He was 76 years old. Fred is buried in Flemington Cemetery alongside his wife.

Finding Faulkner: The Progeny | Nelson Faulkner {Gen 3}

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

Nelson Faulkner (John M, Samuel, William) was born in Tioga Co, New York, about 1839, to parents John M Faulkner and his second wife Catherine LNU.

Nelson married Martha Shaw in 1872 according to the 1900 federal census, most likely in Tioga Co, New York.

The couple had at least two children:

• Myrtle V Faulkner b. 29 May 1877 d. 29 Sep 1923 m. Daniel W Knarr
• Frederick Jackson Faulkner b. 13 Apr 1880 d. 11 Mar 1956 m. Claire Edith Hanna

Nelson Faulkner, as is the case with most Faulkners,  is a bit confusing. There are a great deal of conflicting documents available. What I recorded  here is what I have learned.

Nelson Faulkner was born in Tioga Co, New York and lived the first half of his life there. He removed to Clearfield Co, Pennsylvania in 1880 and later moved to Clinton Co, PA.  He was listed on the 1863 Civil War draft registration records for Tioga Co, New York, being recorded as a 'person of class I subject to do military duty in the 26th congressional district state of New York'. I have not found any record of him actually serving.

Nelson died July 13th 1909 of a laudanum overdose at his home in Clinton Co, Pennsylvania. He is buried in the Flemington Cemetery in Clinton Co, PA.  Martha Shaw Faulkner died November 6th 1915 of typhoid fever and is buried next to her husband Nelson.
